Chapter 15
Leon instantly looked up, not missing a single word that Yvonne said. However, what followed was words that al- most broke his heart.
“She got married, Yvonne said, then casually walked away in her high heels.”
Leon, however, didn’t come to his senses for a long time. He sat paralyzed in place, muttering to himself, “Married? How is that possible? Eloise said she would only marry me in this lifetime.”
No one responded to him. Everyone had left.
After some time passed, the waiter walked in and said, “Sir, we are closing now.”
Looking at the sympathetic waiter in front of him, Leon felt uneasy. He struggled to get up, his legs numb and almost causing him to kneel on the spot.
He staggered towards the door, his heart full of wounds still emitting a subtle pain that tugged at his heart.
He wanted to go find his Eloise.
***
Eloise was taken in by the Bronner family.
This was her first time visiting the Bronner family, who were on par with the Brunner family. The two families in California had very similar surnames, one being the Leon’s family and the other being the magnificent mansion in front of her.
The words “the Bronner’s manor” were printed on the plaque, and Eloise couldn’t help but feel a little sigh. Judging from the momentum, the Bronner family in front of her was many times stronger than the Brunner family.
The house was large, and the servants passed by Eloise in a well-trained manner, all shouting in unison, “Good after- noon, Ms. Claire.”
They had received the news a few days ago that Mr. Bronner’s fiancée was going to join the Bronner family.
They thoroughly cleaned the inside and outside of the house, even replacing the nests of the pet dogs, just in case Ms. Claire would have a bad impression of the Bronner family.
The Bronner family valued it so much that they naturally did not dare to neglect it.
Eloise nodded in response.
Suddenly, a person walked up beside her. Eloise looked to her side and was stunned for a few seconds.
The man in front of me was tall and handsome, with a cold temperament. He was wearing a white suit, giving off a
gentle and refined vibe.
His back was straight, and in his slightly raised ink-black eyes, there were tiny specks of light.
The man saw Eloise looking at him, smiled, and extended his hand. “Ms. Claire, hello, I am Zackery Bronner.”
Eloise came to her senses and reached out her hand, which Zackery held.

The man’s warm palm made Eloise feel a little dazed. She clearly remembered him as a plain and unremarkable son. But the man in front of her was handsome and charming, almost like a movie star!
“You…”

It seemed like Zackery knew what Eloise wanted to ask. He smiled gently and said, “Is it because I’m not ugly?”
Such blunt words were spoken out loud by the other party, making Eloise feel a bit embarrassed. She did not respond.
Zackery didn’t care either, “Because I don’t want to get married, instead of being pressured to get married every day, it’s better to let everyone know that I’m ugly, so no one will want to marry me.”
Eloise didn’t expect it to be like this at all, and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
But she had some doubts in her heart, “Then why did you agree to marry into the Claire family? I thought you didn’t want to get married?”
Zackery smiled, the sunlight shining on his profile, making him look like he was coated in a layer of light.
“Because it was you.”
