The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 99: The Little Girl’s Gift

This answer really isn’t difficult. Her inner thoughts are that she likes him, but she still wants to consider other possibilities for now.

Holly never felt that love is everything. She thinks happiness is the most important, so when faced with happiness and love, she can abandon love and choose happiness.

"Holly, come eat."

After Leo set the food on the table, he urged Holly to come eat.

The conversation between Holly and Noah Raines was thus interrupted.

Noah gave Holly a meaningful look but said nothing more.

Holly went over to eat.

"What were you talking about with the young lady?"

Leo walked over, looking at Noah and asking him.

Clearly, Noah and Holly were definitely talking about something, which was cut off by his call for Holly to eat.

"I asked her if she likes you."

Noah was very frank, directly revealing the content of their conversation, with a subtle smile on his lips.

"What did she say?"

Leo clearly felt his heart skip a beat; he stared at Noah.

The topic of whether Holly likes him is one he is particularly interested in, and he really wants to know Holly’s true thoughts.

Does the young lady like him?

"She hasn’t answered yet; your appearance was too sudden."

Noah shrugged, looking at Leo helplessly.

Hmm, Leo’s appearance was indeed untimely; just a little bit more and he would have known the answer.

Noah is also quite curious about what Holly’s answer would be.

Leo’s eyes showed a fleeting moment of loneliness, "Hmm."

He really, really wants to know, his curiosity is unbearable.

What does the young lady truly think, and what kind of feelings does she have towards him?

"Holly, have you been to Arkenfall recently?"

While Holly was eating, Leo approached, slowly asking her.

He just wanted to know if the young lady would lie to him.

"Ah."

Holly looked up, blinked her eyes, and stared at Leo with a bewildered expression.

Why would Leo suddenly ask this question?

She had been behaving well these past few days, always staying at home; Leo could see her whenever he got home from work, so why is he asking this now?

"Answer my question, okay?"

Leo gently rubbed Holly’s head; his voice was very soft.

"Can I choose not to answer?"

Holly hesitated for a while before speaking. She didn’t want to lie to Leo, but she also didn’t want to admit that she’d been to Arkenfall.

Because once she admitted it, Leo would ask her what she went to Arkenfall for, when she went, and those were the questions she did not want to answer.

She indeed went to Arkenfall to see Elder Grant for medical consultation, but she didn’t want to tell Leo about this now.

She put sleeping pills in Leo’s milk and had chartered a private jet; though the itinerary was a bit rushed, it was enough to prevent Leo from noticing anything unusual.

Leo nodded, "Okay."

Then what Noah said about seeing Holly at the Grant family’s old residence must be true, not just someone who looks like Holly.

"The young lady really has quite a lot of secrets."

Leo sighed, not knowing whether to feel happy or worried.

He still didn’t know the young lady’s identity.

If it hadn’t been for Nancy Miller being taken away by Sean Grant, considering the young lady’s skills in disguise, presumably she wouldn’t have revealed anything under his watch.

The young lady would continue to keep secrets from him, and he’d have to pretend he was unaware.

Now he might even need to thank Sean Grant.

"Brother, I will slowly tell you everything in the future."

Holly blinked her eyes and promised.

Leo nodded, "Okay."

"By the way, I have something to give you, hold on while I go upstairs to fetch it."

After Holly finished eating and drinking to her content, she rubbed her round belly, placed her bowl and chopsticks down, and ran upstairs.

Leo was stunned for a moment, a bit puzzled.

The young lady has something to give him?

"I think it’s a token of appreciation."

Noah walked over, placing a hand on Holly’s shoulder, speaking with a hint of meaning.

Holly does have feelings for Leo; it’s just unclear what kind of feelings these are.

Leo shot Noah a glance, not speaking.

At this moment, he suddenly found Noah particularly annoying and didn’t want to see him in this space at all.

"Hey, do you find me annoying?"

Faced with Leo’s disdainful look, Noah raised an eyebrow, playfully looking at Leo.

Heck, knowing Leo so long, he could understand the meaning of Leo’s look without needing to guess.

Leo said, "At least you know."

"I’ll step aside then. I still need to have my lunch."

Noah shrugged, voluntarily leaving the living room.

Oh well, since Leo finds him annoying, he’ll grudgingly vacate the space.

Holly came running back from upstairs with her hands behind her back, her face beaming with a smile, full of joy.

"What is it?"

Leo curled his lips slightly, asking gently.

"Brother, here you go. I just finished putting it together yesterday."

Holly placed a completed piglet in front of Leo; she blinked her eyes, her smile still bright.

She had been assembling it for a long time; her clever mind was surprisingly challenged by this little thing, leaving Holly with a sense of defeat.

"Thank you, Holly."

Leo instantly felt delighted.

That piglet was exactly what Holly had been assembling in the living room the past few days; turns out the young lady intended it for him.

"I wanted to give it to someone very, very important."

The young lady’s innocent words seemed vivid in his memory, making Leo involuntarily curl his lips.

Turns out he’s the very, very important person in the young lady’s words.

Thinking of this, Leo’s mood was instantly lifted.

"Do you like it, brother?"

Holly tilted her head, looking at Leo.

"I like it. Anything Holly gives, I like."

Leo’s smile was especially gentle as he carefully held the gift from Holly, as if holding a treasure.

Anything the young lady gives, he likes, no matter what it is.

Holly nodded, "Mm-hmm."

Her smile was sweet, and all her efforts assembling it were worth it; as long as Leo liked it, it’s great.

Leo asked, "Why did you want to give brother this?"

The piglet is indeed quite cute, though Leo thinks...

It seems a bit odd.

"Because it’s cute."

Holly blinked her eyes, speaking seriously.

Hmm, it is quite cute; she even thinks it resembles Leo a bit.

Leo said, "I see."

Looking at the piglet in his palm, Leo smiled slightly as memories of Holly assembling it flashed in his mind.

The young lady leaning on the table, frowning as she pieced together the piglet, her little face full of vexation yet full of patience, patiently assembling.

Knowing that he is very important to the young lady makes Leo especially happy.
