The Husband I Never Knew (Part 2)-1
We went downstairs and found Leo already there. He was busy wolfing down his food at the dining table. I sat down and started serving myself. Sebastian was about to do the same when his phone rang. He stared at it for a moment, then answered.
“Sorry,” he said to us, then stood up to leave.
Before he left the room, I heard him say someone’s name. “Graves” meant nothing to me. Perhaps one of his alliance partners. Usually, I didn’t interfere with his work, but for some strange reason, I made a mental note to ask him who this Graves was.
“So, do you like Phoenix’s room?” Leo asked after swallowing his food.
“I love it, baby,” I said. “It’s gorgeous. You and your dad did a wonderful job.”
A woman I’d never seen before walked out of the kitchen. She placed some fruit on the table, then introduced herself.
“I’m Mary, Luna. If you need anything, please let me know.” I nodded, and she quickly left.
“Who is that woman, Leo?” I asked.
She appeared to be in her forties.
“Oh, that’s Mary. She handles the cooking and cleaning,” Leo said, frowning.
I figured he hadn’t heard Mary’s introduction. And why did Sebastian need a servant? He knew I took care of everything in the house, including cooking. Maybe he appointed her when I was in the hospital, right?
I turned to Leo to ask when Mary had been appointed, but noticed he was still frowning.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked. “Why do you look unhappy?”
He remained silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant to tell me what was bothering him. Finally, he spoke up.
“I found a note in my bag from a girl in my class. She joined the school when you were sent to the hospital.”

“What did the note say?”
“Just that she was glad you were okay.”
I frowned, not quite understanding the problem.
“Isn’t that a good thing? She’s being friendly,” I asked him, because I didn’t understand why this would upset him.
“Yeah, but Madison is a total pain,” he said the name with such hardness in his voice.
This made me curious. Leo was a pretty calm pup, very friendly and open. I’d never seen him like this.
horrendous.
