Norval raised his eyebrows quizzically and looked at Leah with a smile. "I don't think we can go our separate ways. That's impossible."
Leah frowned.
"You and Auntie are kin. You have legal obligations. You're a law student, so I don't think I have to explain too much." Norval seemed very nonchalant as he spoke to Leah.
Leah was silent for a moment before she said, "Get your hands off the door."
"There's no need to rush." Norval laughed softly, his hands holding on to the door to prevent her from opening it.
Leah could not open the door, so she could only wait.
Norval was relaxed and he approached Leah slowly.
Leah immediately took a step back, putting some distance between them. She was obviously on guard.
Norval smiled and said, "You don't have to be so wary of me, do you?"
"Stay away from me," Leah said in a low voice. She did not want to get too close to this man.
She knew how to avoid any unnecessary scandals.
Therefore, Leah kept a safe distance from him.
Norval burst into laughter. "Leah, I can do whatever I want to do and there's nothing you can do about it."
Leah frowned and her heart skipped a beat. She stared at him vigilantly.
"Have you got the balls for that?"
"I don't." Norval yielded with a smile. "I know what this will lead to and I don't want to take any risks. I just think that we don't need to be so awkward with one another."
Leah sneered. "We don't need to interact with each other."
"Either way, you're Auntie's daughter. Nothing will change that. Plus, since she's getting older now, she needs you," Norval said.
What a joke!
Leah felt very upset and refused to accept what Norval said.
How ironic!
Her mother left her when she needed her most.
Leah was abandoned.
Now that Sieara was old, she'd come to Leah saying that she needed her.
Ha!
Leah wanted to curse.
"She raised you, not me. So the responsibility is yours," Leah stated bluntly at Norval. "Don't be too greedy, Mr. Qualls. There will be consequences."
Norval was slightly taken aback but he smiled wryly. "Are you still blaming her because of what happened in the past?"
Leah pursed her lips without answering, her eyes were filled with mockery.
Norval sighed and said, "You should know that this is actually hurting yourself. Why do you have to do this? We don't dwell on the past, we only want to make up for what happened. Live and let live, Leah!"
Leah wanted to punch his obnoxious face.
She sneered, "You're ridiculous. I just want to never see you guys again, is that so hard?"
Norval nodded. "Afraid so. I'm a very annoying man."
Leah turned to leave as soon as she heard that.
However, Norval once again blocked her way. "Don't go, Leah."
"I don't have the time to waste on you. I still have some stuff to do." Leah, who had been interrupted again, was very annoyed.
Norval smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry?"
