Supreme Mars

Chapter 303 You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It

The moon was as cool as water, shining on Kate’s gorgeous face, setting it off more perfectly. At the

same time, it also had a faint sense of loneliness.

There was no doubt that just now she was washing her hair and watching the moon----how boring it

was to watch the moon alone!

Leo’s expression was a little unnatural. He quickly turned his gaze, “I’m sorry!”

Kate was surprised and then smiled casually, “Never mind. My appointment with you is at 8 o’clock.

You just came on time.”

“Give me a minute.”

Kate got up, went back to the house and came out soon.

Her long wet hair was dried soon. It was wrapped high by a hairpin, revealing her snow-white neck.

She came to Leo, “Come in.”

Looking at Kate with such an appearance, Leo’s anger abated more than half. He nodded slightly,

“Okay!”

Nobody would have thought that Kate lived in such a small cabin.

Although the cabin was small, it was fully equipped.

In addition to the necessities of a boudoir, there was also a coffee machine. Kate loved coffee, which

was known by people in the upper-class society of Emerdale.

“Latte or Mocha?”

Kate asked without looking back.

“No, thanks.”

Leo refused. He came to Lawson’s house only to ask about things. He would leave after asking.

Kate narrowed her eyes and smiled, “Let’s try Mocha.”

“…”

Hearing that, Leo could only allow himself a wry smile.

Kate did things only following her own will and never took others’ feelings into account. Even Leo could

not change her way.

Soon, a cup of steaming Mocha was brought to Leo.

“Thank you.”

Leo apologized but didn’t drink. He just stared at her straightly, “Can you say it now? What do you

mean during the day?”

Kate didn’t answer this question. She only smiled and looked at him with charming eyes, “We’ve never

sat and had coffee calmly together, have we?”

Leo didn’t understand why she said such words. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

When he joined the Lawson family five years ago, he and Kate had lived together for a while. However,

at that time, Leo was not so powerful. In his eyes, Kate was a vicious beauty who was always

scheming and plotting.

Every word she said should be carefully considered, for fear of hiding other meanings. Every action she

did should be carefully analyzed, for worrying about whether she was planning for something again----

even if when he was sleeping, he had to hide a knife under his pillow.

In the past, they had been intertwined with hatred. How could they sit together to have coffee and talk

at night?

Kate also nodded, “Since we haven’t done it before, we should cherish this opportunity more.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Leo’s eyes narrowed dangerously, “I can’t tell which sentence you said is true and which is false.”

Kate still smiling, “This kind of woman has a unique flavor, isn’t she?”

Leo did not respond but laughed it off.

“For me, a man like you has a unique flavor, too.”

Looking at Leo, Kate suddenly opened her mouth again.

Kate had great charm. Her long hair covered her shoulders, and her face was like the bright moon.

There was also a faint fragrance on her body. It was like the scent of flowers but it seemed to come

from herself.

Leo wasn’t swayed by her. He still looked at Kate coldly.

“Before answering your question, please answer me a question first----”

She narrowed her eyes slightly. At this time, she fully showed her rapier wit.

“Do you think I ever liked you?”

Kate’s question made Leo a little surprised. He shook his head, “No!”

“Really...”

The expression in Kate’s eyes was changed. All her momentum disappeared in an instant.

She continued, “There are many kinds of like, deep love, silent blessing, and cats and mice.”

“What the hell are you trying to say?”

Leo impatiently interrupted Kate with a low voice.

Suddenly, his murderous look made Kate tremble.

She clenched the coffee cup with both hands. She clenched with great force, so her wrist was already

becoming steel-blue.

But then she relaxed her whole body and soul. She looked calm and said only one inexplicable word.

“You can’t have your cake and eat it. Angel and demon are just between thoughts.”

“Who is the cake? Who is the angel?”

Leo suddenly felt funny.

He had interpreted what Kate wanted to express, but he would not easily agree with what Kate said.

For her, love was just a tool to achieve her goal.

So was marriage.

Kate fell into deep silence and looked back at her bedside table.

There was a photo frame that was deliberately pushed down.

Staring for a long time, she turned her head and looked at Leo calmly, “If one day, I strike Lydia, what

will you do?”

“I’ll kill you.”

Leo also looked at her calmly and said tonelessly.

“What if you can’t stop me?” Kate asked again.

“It’s the same.”

Leo stood up and looked at Kate coldly, “I hope you can think it clearly. Don’t cut your own throat.”

After saying that, he strode out.

The coffee was already cold. Leo didn’t take a sip of it.

Kate was still sitting at the coffee table. She gazed blankly at the moon in the sky with dulled eyes. No

one knew what she was thinking.

After a long time, she got up, came to the bedside table, and righted the fallen photo frame. She stared

at the photo in the frame with reddish eyes and complex emotion.

That’s a wedding photo.

The man in the picture forced a smile, but the woman smiled from her heart.

After watching it for a while, Kate smiled faintly.

“At least, I once had you.”

With a whisper, Kate gently pushed the photo frame down.

Looking at the moon in the sky, her eyes became sharp bit by bit, among which there was a kind of

resolution.

“You can’t have your cake and eat it. Angel and demon are just between thoughts.”

“As long as you say a word, I will stop everything and run into brightness.”

“It’s a pity that it is you who want me to fall into darkness.”

“Leo, you will regret not killing me!”

Kate’s voice was freezing.

……

It was late when Leo arrived home.

He took a cold shower and crept into the room. He found that Lydia hadn’t slept yet.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Leo was a little surprised and asked in a low voice.

Lydia didn’t talk. She only eyed him coldly. After making sure that there was no scent of women’s

perfume on his body, she rolled over to sleep.

Leo gave a wry smile and didn’t say anything. He laid down beside Lydia gingerly.

The two slept on their backs.

Lydia didn’t fall asleep. After waiting for a while, she didn’t get Leo’s confession. Suddenly, a gust of

anger rose in her heart.

In fact, she knew the reason why Leo had to visit Kate. However, the relationship between Kate and

Leo was too special. Even if she believed that Leo would not make any mistakes, she still thought too

much.

She thought Leo would take the initiative to make an apology when he came back. She didn’t expect

that he slept directly.

Lydia turned slightly. Seeing Leo still didn’t respond, she suddenly looked pale and sullen.

“Who cares?”

Lydia grew even angrier. She gnawed her teeth and scolded abruptly, with a strong momentum of

fighting to the end.

Even if she knew she was thinking too much, she didn’t apologize.

However, when Lydia was going to break down, Leo turned over and gently hugged her.

“Sorry.”

Lydia soon heard his voice that was full of regret.

Suddenly, Lydia’s body stiffened, and her ears immediately flowed down. lightnoveldaily.com
