Ex-wife returns: Billionaire's second chance

Chapter 2: Chapter 2



"There was a serious car accident on xxx street this morning." Leonard turned on the TV and saw the news.

He sat down on the sofa and heard the announcer say, "The victim is identified as Tawny Matthews. She was dragging a suitcase on the road at that time." Hearing this, Leonard immediately sat up. The camera just turned to the scene of the accident. Around the scene, fresh blood was splattered all over the ground, and a pair of dark glasses was lying in the middle of the road.

Those glasses were so familiar.

How could this be? Leonard could not imagine that this tragic incident would happen.

He immediately asked the staff to find out which hospital Tawny was in, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a group of reporters.

"Mr. Leonard, may I ask you what is the relationship between Miss Paige and you?"

"Mr. Leonard, someone saw your wife being hit by a car twenty minutes ago. She was holding a suitcase. "Did you kick her out of the house?"

"Mr. Leonard."

"Go away."

Leonard shouted, instantly silencing the crowd, and automatically making way for him.

He ran to the hospital at lightning speed but was still one step too late.

"Nurse, is Tawny Matthews here?"

"Room 21, but a gentleman came to pick her up two minutes ago."

"She was so badly injured, who picked her up?"

"I don't know," The nurse shook her head.

Leonard quickly walked out of the hospital door, but he only saw a Bugatti Veyron passing by. Tawny's father was in prison for financial problems, and most of the others were not there. So who... who picked up Tawny? Standing at the main door of the hospital, Leonard felt anxious for the first time.

Five years later. A healthy and handsome five-year-old boy was shouting in the room.

"Lucas, what's wrong with you?" Hearing the boy's cry, a very young-looking girl walked out of the kitchen. She was wearing a pink outfit and holding a can of fresh milk in her hand.

"Mom, I want this." Lucas pointed to the advertisement on the TV.

"The new toy that Roberts Group launched is recruiting children from three to eight years old to act in the advertisement. After the performance, they will receive the best toys from the Roberts Group. All my friends in kindergarten want to be chosen. If I can become an advertising star, they will admire me."

"Didn't Uncle Adrian buy you a lot of toys?" The girl said softly, "I don't agree to let you go."

"Mom, let me go. Please, Mom, I don't need to go to the amusement park. I don't want Transformers. I just want you to let me go to Roberts Group." Lucas followed and pulled Nina's clothes inside out.

"No."

Nina stopped Lucas's little hand and pulled the child aside.

"Sleep well. You still have to go to school tomorrow. We've only been here for a few days, I'm still not familiar with the road, so I have to go home early."

Lucas walked back to his small bed in disappointment. Nina looked at the child's sad, bowed head, helpless.

"General Manager, the meeting is at eight o'clock, can you come?"

"I didn't know the traffic jam here was so terrible."

"General Manager, today the person in charge of Gelex Group in North America will come to discuss with us the contract that your father personally signed, you must come." Leonard hung up the phone, and got out of the car, the most important thing now was to find a tool so that he didn't have to walk.

"Excuse me, can you lend me your motorcycle for a bit?" He was wearing a noble outfit and standing here borrowing someone's motorcycle, feeling a little funny. Sure enough, no one paid attention to him.

"Do you have something urgent? I'll take you a short distance." The cold voice was like a newly picked lily, spreading and penetrating the heart. Leonard had never had good intentions towards women, they only loved money, and they always wanted to be like the queens of the past, but this cold voice suddenly made his thoughts about women improve. He turned around and the girl who appeared in front of him was a girl wearing a light yellow sweater, white jeans, and a pink helmet.

This was Nina on her way to take Lucas home from school. Her worst trait in life was not remembering the way, so she walked very slowly and accidentally saw Leonard in a hurry. She didn't think about anything and ran to help.

"Thank you, I want to go to the headquarters of the Roberts Group." Leonard unceremoniously put his 1m8 tall body on the small seat at the back. She tried her best to start the engine and drive away.

This was Leonard's first time sitting on a motorbike like this, it felt a bit strange, the gentle wind blew on his face, and his whole body felt very comfortable. He looked at her back, suddenly feeling like he wanted to learn more about her. The gentle wind blew her long hair into his face, faintly emitting a scent that was exactly like the cool scent of lilies.

"Sir, we're here." She stopped the motorbike.

Wait. Leonard wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to ask her name but felt that he was a bit stupid, so he looked at her nodded, and walked into the company.

The girl turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The phone rang, and she stopped the motorbike.

"What's the matter, Adrian?"

"If there's nothing, can't I call you? What did Nina do today?" A gentle voice rang from the other end of the line.

"Take Lucas to school, I want to find a job now," Nina answered honestly.

"I won't let you find a job, you just stay home and take care of Lucas," Adrian said. "Let's decide that, I have to go to a meeting."

"Hey, wait." Nina pouted and threw the phone into her bag.
