Leslie Howard rarely disagrees with David Redington; instead, she spoke earnestly.

She wasn’t lying to David Redington.

For certain reasons, she had long lost faith in family.

Even when she most liked David Redington, she simply hoped to be with him and accompany him.

Forming a family, these four words are too heavy for her.

"I’ll delete this photo for you, and don’t do such impulsive things again." Leslie Howard deleted the photo on the cell phone without hesitation.

She handed the cell phone back to David Redington, yet the man was unwilling to reach out for it.

David Redington didn’t take it, clearly showing his anger.

Leslie Howard knew well that at this time she should cling tightly to this ’father’, not defy him or make him dissatisfied.

After all, there were so many messy things online, and she was now alone without any background or company support; the only leg she could cling to was probably David Redington’s.

Thinking of this, Leslie Howard stuffed the cell phone into David Redington’s hand, actively propped herself up, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

She softened her voice, speaking sweetly: "Darling, don’t be angry anymore... Just look at how pitiful I am now, having to deal with so much trouble, and being blackened by so many people. If you get mad at me at this time, I’ll be even more upset."

The woman’s voice was sweet and tender.

Leslie Howard’s coquettish behavior only made people want to hold her tight and console her.

In the end, David Redington could only rub his brow and sigh, "Forget it, I’ll call to have someone clean up for you."

No matter how stubbornly heartbreaking she was, no matter how she completely failed to cooperate and kept saying things that provoked him, in the end – David Redington couldn’t really ignore her.

Concerning Leslie Howard, he was probably under her spell, wanting only to shield her under his wings, protecting her from any harm.

David Redington looked at the woman gazing up at him, his large hand rubbing softly on her tender hair top, while the other hand swiped open the cell phone, somewhat helplessly calling his agent, Blake.

Blake was now the vice president of Gray Entertainment, overseeing actor contracts; he was an absolute veteran in the industry and held a prominent position.

"Hmm... That’s how it is, arrange for someone to handle it..."

Leslie Howard obediently nestled in David Redington’s embrace, letting him ’smooth’ her while listening to his phone call.

She had long known David Redington’s strong leg was good to hold onto, but hearing him arrange things so leisurely still felt a bit too easy.

Just as David Redington was on the call with Blake, a sudden doorbell rang from outside.

The doorbell was pressed urgently and loudly, as if there was an emergency.

Leslie Howard instinctively sat up, certain that whoever was coming was not friendly.

Could it be Winona Wallace?

Considering their relationship now and the rumors online, Leslie Howard glanced at the man standing by the bed gently rubbing her head.

She pointed towards the bathroom direction, mouthing to David Redington, "You, go hide for a bit?"

David Redington frowned; although still listening to the phone, his cold gaze had already fallen on Leslie Howard’s face.

Clearly, the woman’s suggestion made him very unhappy.

"Hurry up and go in..." Leslie Howard didn’t care about him, the doorbell outside was urging again, she jumped off the bed and pushed David Redington towards the bathroom.

After getting the still on the call man into the bathroom, she closed the door behind her, adjusted the bathrobe, and headed to the door.

Winona Wallace... better not come causing trouble.

However, when Leslie Howard opened the door, seeing the angry woman outside, her beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed.
