Chapter 26: Chapter 12-3: The Dark Clouds
Caroline, who shook her head positively with a slight gesture, rejoiced.
"So ... what were you doing?" She was silent, inquiring for a moment, while her eyebrows rose together with a contemplative look.
“Oh… I was working on some documents” “That was… when the moon visited me” He muttered.
It was an unexpected slip of the tongue.
“The moon?” She tilted her head in surprise. “It’s cloudy outside. Which moon are you talking about? "She frowned.
“Ah! He was here, actually, a little while ago” He quickly responded in an embarrassed tone, and passed the topic on.
In contrast, his heart was still pounding so hard that he unconsciously pressed his fingers against the sides of the chair.
“Well..?”
When he looked up and saw the two men in the same room with blank faces, his expression instantly changed and became completely stoic.
“The discussion is over, we will stick to what was said before. Go now” he said, dismissing them while blocking the other party’s hearing and hissing.
Looking at the cold sparks he had unleashed, the two quickly regained their wits and left.
‘The call was obviously very private’
‘But… who would have thought that today’s matter would end so simply?’
"You’re outside?" she asked, after hearing a faint noise from the background.
‘No, I’m by the window now. The office window.’ He interrupted, explaining hastily, proving.
“Oh, what were you working on now?” Her calm tone came off a little curious.
and It was like any normal conversation.
"…I plan to keep it a surprise" He took a deep breath, then added in a soft tone:
"Anyway… I was so relaxed a few moments ago that I fell asleep. Thanks for waking me up"
"Ah. Is this true? This is not good" She commented, knitting her eyebrows and then wet her throat.
“The office chair is hard, make sure you take care of yourself” she asserted after thinking, sternly.
“I heard on the news that it will be rainy tonight. Please wear warmer clothes” she continued in an interested tone, making him feel warmer.
"Well. I will definitely. Thank you” He shook his head affirmatively, smiling crookedly, then looked out through the windowpane, in silence.
However, he was well aware of Skyler’s reports about her since the first session.
Although he was initially skeptical due to this sudden change in personality and mood, he liked it and relished it.
As a result, he tried to keep up, slowly. And he didn't want to be more impulsive, So She may back off.
“Good. Sweet dreams then.” She spread her lips with an amused smile and ended the conversation.
“You too… Sweet dreams” '… My wife!' He said, then put down the phone.
Thinking of it, his happy and cheerful face became completely flushed.
Under the poetic and peaceful atmosphere of this night, he settled down.

Chapter 13: A Study Partner
The next morning, around 5 a.m.
Leon walked out of his shared room, carrying a light backpack and another for travel.
After a simple breakfast, he pulled out a bottle of mint-flavored soda and checked his appearance.
Caroline, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly opened the door to her room and approached him.
Considering the state he was in, she swallowed her words.
It was clear that he was going to leave, and for a while.
“Sorry, did I wake you up?” He said with a serious expression, carefully wiping her cheek with the palm of his hand, as she approached him and hugged him.
“No” She raised her neck slightly towards him, contemplating him in silence, then questioned. “But…”
“When were you going to tell me this?” Her tone was calm and relaxed, purposeful and reproachful.
Nam Shin, who had his torso stretched out on the wall of the sofa watching the yellow mercury, let out a sigh of relief and walked over to them.
“It happened so fast. So, I was going to tell you when he was gone” he explained.
He was being honest.
“We're not going to say goodbye to him?” She broke the hug from him and then turned to him, asking him. "no. The car is below, they came to pick him up” he explained, and she shook her head twice in understanding.
“The plane will take off at 7”
“See you” she said, waving to him, with flat lips, while he smiled, carrying his things with him and leaving.

At that time, Kayden and Dennis worked together to find out the identity of their parents.
Leon, Lucy, and Rachel, accompanied by Benjamin and two other members of the Intelligence and Security Service, also traveled to Russia.
Looking at the car below as it drove off, she resigned and went back to her room.
She had known.
Being a genius wasn't a problem.
But after research and excavation, the government wanted to confiscate her, in order to prevent disorder.
Therefore, this bastard was, in her eyes, was abhorrent to her at the time.
'He just wanted her to be indebted to him and be tied down.'
Denise's decision to associate with her with some petty feelings and pretensions was not a flimsy argument, even for bail.
But now, looking at it, she buried her face in the pillow with a trivial look.
The taste of love was already sweet and sour.
A contrived combination of strawberries and lemon or sugar and coffee. Which made her feel even more confused.
In the end, everyone loves, then breaks up. After a breakup, there will be pain and bitterness, then torment, and even deep hatred.
The sour taste will leave a stronger impression than the faint sweet and intoxicating taste.
So, in order to achieve this psychological stability, she had to eliminate this vivid provocation instead of suppressing it.
Hence... it was possible to imagine the extent of these conflicting feelings!

//7:25 AM//
After the usual daily routine, she went out with Nam Shin and got into the Bentley.
For the whole week, there would be no one else but her and Nam Shin at home.
The situation became interesting.
Outside, the sky was still cloudy and murky.
Some fumes could be seen rising from the breath of passersby and even on the window glass.
“We’ve arrived,” Nam Shin, who had parked his car some time ago, muttered patiently, and she then opened the door and left.
As soon as they walked together, they headed to the line immediately.
