Chapter 62: Chapter 62

However, Barbara still did not have the courage.Just a little more."You should head over first, I still have a few things I need to take care of."Please give me more time to accept it.

On the other side of the phone, there was a long silence. After a long while, Barbara finally heard him say in a low voice,"Alright."

Barbara heaved a sigh of relief and said a few more words with Leo before hanging up.

It was now 11.30 a.m., and some colleagues in the office were already preparing to go out for lunch.Barbara put down her phone, and started to pack up to go out.She, who was seriously packing something,

naturally she couldn't see Leo, who had just put down his phone outside the Operations Department.The offices were mostly made of glass,

so one could see what was going on inside clearly. But right now, Leo was standing outside of Operations Department, looking at Barbara quietly.

He had been standing here since a long while ago. When he saw Barbara sitting in the office with her head lowered in thought,

the expression on her face suddenly turned dark, and he couldn't help but think, what was she thinking about? Was it related to him?

Out of the blue, he took out his cell phone and dialed her number.She was flustered at first, then she flushed red, and then she laughed happily.

He had seen many beauties in his life, many of whom were more beautiful than Barbara, but Barbara had the most beautiful smile,

which was bright and dazzling. For a moment, he could not help but be absent—minded because of her smile.Leo wanted to take this smile for himself and tell everyone that she was his.

He asked her in advance for politeness.Outside the glass, he saw her hesitation.

Suddenly, he felt a bit uncomfortable. He didn't know why.She refused him, refused to make their relationship known to the public.

All of a sudden, he wanted to take her hand regardless, stop insisting on those strange promises and announce loudly —— she was my wife.But he couldn't bear to make her difficult.

He couldn't bear to make things difficult for her.So he said, "Okay."Thus, her relieved appearance fell into his dark eyes.

After finishing his business, Hebe Swift walked to Leo and asked softly, "Mr. Young, do you want to wait for Mrs. Young together?"

In the office, Barbara was still packing her things.Leo watched silently, and after a long while, he turned to Hebe and said, "Let's go, there's no need to wait for her."

By the time Barbara arrived at the private box of the Lilium Restaurant, Leo had already been waiting for a long time.As soon as she opened the door,

she saw Leo sitting gracefully in front of the window, with his back straight.

He seemed to be looking at something. The sunshine outside the window fell on his forehead and on his side face,

which made his bright and resolute facial lines more attractive.Everything in front of her was like a painting, but strangely,

bara saw the loneliness in the painting.She couldn't help but want to walk over and embrace him from behind.But, before Barbara could do anything,

he had already discovered her.He turned back and smiled. "You're here."The sunlight fell upon his eyes like a sea of stars.

Barbara felt a burst of heat on her face, and avoided her dazzling gaze quickly, and with a slight hum,

she sat across from Leo.Today's lunch was seafood.Scallops, swimming crab, shrimp, mantis shrimp … The four dishes had different tastes.

They all liked eating them very much. Barbara really liked seafood very much, but it was a pity that her homeland, the Capital, was inland.

Later on, when she came to the Barcelona which was along the coast,

she had eaten up a lot of seafood.She looked at the table which was full of dishes as she looked at Leo in surprise.

It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or something else,

but Leo seemed to always know what she liked very well. It was as if he had known her for a very long time."

What's wrong?" Leo was puzzled by her gaze and could not help but ask."Nothing,"

Barbara bit off a spoonful of scallop and put it in her mouth. The fresh fragrance lingered on her lips and teeth, and she smiled with satisfaction.

"I'm just very curious, why do you always know so clearly what I like?""Because..."

I have investigated you.The latter half of the sentence was stuck in his throat,

but Leo was still unable to tell her.He had once spent a lot of effort to investigate Barbara, and he knew very clearly what she had experienced, and what she liked … But was this really the reason?

Why had he gone to so much trouble to make her happy?"Hmm?" Seeing Leo wanting to say something but hesitating, Barbara blinked her eyes."Nothing, as long as you like it." Leo said.

He could not understand his own thoughts and could not give her an answer, so he cut the conver sation off.This answer was very official and stiff,

so Barbara didn't know how to reply him. She only replied with a "thank you", then she bowed her head and ate in silence.

They continued to eat in silence for a while before Leo suddenly spoke up."Don't you like Mantis shrimps?" he asked with some doubtBarbara was startled slightly,

and only after a while did she come to her senses. She had already eaten all of the dishes,

but she still hadn't touched the mantis shrimps at all … While he was eating, was he also observing her?He even found it out."I like it." She smiled.

She was very fond of mantis shrimps, and she could eat one plate by herself.

It was just that although the mantis shrimp was tasty, handling them was extremely troublesome, and it didn't look too good either.

Therefore, she didn't want to eat it in front of Leo.However, Leo did not think that way.In the past, every time he ate this dish with Debby,

Debby would clamor for his mother to peel it for her, because if she couldn't peel it properly, then she would hurt herself.

Mother pampered her, she would peel a whole plate of prawns for her every time.

Barbara said she liked it, but she didn't eat it. Maybe it was because of this?

After thinking about it, Leo took a pair of disposable gloves and a mantis shrimp.

He tried to peel it as he recalled how his mother peeled the shrimps.

He did not like eating shrimp. Naturally, he had never peeled it before, so he was clumsy at peeling them and was unable to find a way to peel them even after a long time.

Barbara saw that he had been busying himself for a long time without success, so she also took a shrimp and said,

"peel it like this."As she said, she pinched off the head of the Shrimp,

then stuck a stick into the tail of the Shrimp. The Shrimp's delicious meat broke free in an instant.Leo found it mystical and also wanted to try it.

Hence, he imitated Barbara's actions and picked up a stick. But no matter what, he couldn't take the meat out easily like Barbara.

Seeing his clumsy appearance, Barbara could not help but laugh, but then she rolled her eyes at Leo.

"Help me." Leo said.

Once again, Barbara picked up the shrimp. Just as she was about to demonstrate, she heard Leo say, "teach me hand by hand." He said lightly and naturally, as if it were a matter of course.

Barbara looked at his starry eyes and suddenly blushed once more. It was just stripping a prawn. Why would she blush?

She shook her head, shaking off the strange thoughts in her head. Then, she stood up and walked to Leo. As Leo sat and she stood, she could only bend down and grab hold of his hand, teaching him hand by hand.
