My Twin Sister's Boyfriend Loves Me
Chapter 7
"Pretty, I couldn't care any less about other people's opinion of me," Leon said as he reached for Tina's hand. He looked at her warmly, kissed the back of her hand gently, and added, "The only thing that matters is how you view me. They can call me heartless, snob, or anything they want, but I'll keep being sweet to you and you alone."
Leon spoke as bold as a lion. Since he had already decided to marry Tina, he no longer wanted to let even a single day go by without making an effort to build their relationship.
He even thought of having a child with her if things went well since it was what his grandfather wanted the most. Aside from that, his position as the Darving Group's successor would also be stable if he managed to do that.
Tanya, who couldn't help but overhear the two's conversation, bit her lower lip because of Leon's words. She suddenly recalled how his hugeness ripped her core last night.
Coincidentally, Leon suddenly glanced at the rearview mirror, causing their eyes to meet. He caught traces of panic in her expression, so he could not help but knit his brows in suspicion.
Tanya, of course, hurriedly shifted her gaze outside the car as if nothing had happened.
Even though Leon hadn't told her anything directly, she could tell that he was genuinely interested in her sister.
However, Tanya wasn't sure if Tina was on the same page as him.
When they were in the VIP lounge last night, Tina received a call before she left in a hurry. Tanya was sure that it was a man who called, and she even noticed that her sister's tone sounded soft and delicate.
Because of that, Tanya couldn't help but think, 'Has Tina fallen in love with another man? If so, why was she still clinging to Mr. Darving? It even looks like she wants a serious relationship with him.'
The more Tanya thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Not wanting to stress over something that didn't specifically concern her, Tanya closed her eyes and cleared her mind.
She reminded herself to forget what happened last night and never get involved in such a complicated relationship.
Leon continued driving until they arrived at the hospital shortly after. Tina got out of the car first and opened the door for Tanya like a caring sister.
The latter, however, couldn't stand to hide her worry anymore. She pulled Tina to the side and whispered, "Tina, are you seeing a different man? If so, you know Mr. Darving is not someone you can easily fool, right?"
"I know," Tina briefly replied, surprised by her sister's question.
Tanya remained doubtful, so she asked again, saying, "If you are aware of that, why are you..."
However, Tina immediately cut her off. "Can you please shut up? It's not your business, Tanya," she snapped, deliberately pulling her away so Leon wouldn't hear them.
All sorts of rumors about what kind of person Leon was were all over the business field, so how could Tina not know what situation she was getting herself into?
Leon was famous among the people in the upper class. Some admired him, while others feared his competitiveness after hearing that he showed no mercy toward his brother and cousins to be the Darving Group's successor.
Even Tina's father, who had been in the business field for a long time, almost jumped in delight upon securing a fixed marriage between his daughter and Darving Groups' current president, Leon.
Even so, Tim mentioned more than once not to underestimate Leon no matter how young he was. After all, the latter won his grandfather's approval among his elder cousins, which was not an easy task.
But then, Leon remained every girl's ideal man despite all the nasty rumors about him.
He was impressively tall and charming, with a distinct manliness that resulted from his noble bearing and collected demeanor. And exaggerated as it might sound, his charm was like a raging fire in the darkness that could attract women to jump in his burning light.
Because of that, Tina couldn't deny that Leon's interest in her had given her a great sense of pride and vanity. She also knew that marrying him would significantly benefit the Yates Group.
However, it seemed like fate was playing a game with her. Since she was involved with another man, she did not dare to either accept or reject Leon's interest in her.
Seeing Tina's reaction, Tanya shrugged her shoulders and didn't dare infuriate her more.
"I'm going in. Thank you again for this money. I'll pay you back once I find a job and earn enough," Tanya said and left.
Leon, on the other hand, watched Tanya through the car window as she limped away in panic.
When Tina returned to the car, he smiled faintly at her and asked, "Why does your sister look extra timid?"
Tina wasn't sure why Leon asked, but she answered him anyway.
"A con man abducted Tanya when she was two years old, so she got traumatized. Her adoptive parents rescued her, took her in, and raised her in a small fishing village in the east. So, please understand if she gets nervous in front of an imposing man like you. She has been living away from too many people for so many years, so let her adjust," she said.
"Is that so? You sound like you know her well, but do you really know her?" Leon randomly asked.
Confused, Tina looked at him, saying, "Are you trying to imply something?"
