Chapter 148 A Coward?
Before she went to bed, she went to the window and looked over in the direction of the clinic, where the man who had been standing over there at that time had left at some point, leaving only a melting darkness.
Just as Sophie Sabastian was about to go to bed, she suddenly noticed that Leonardo Cooper was actually standing there by the streetlight, holding a cigarette and smoking it, a number of butts having fallen beside his feet.
Sophie Sabastian stood in front of the window, her feet suddenly unable to move.
It was a long time before she forced herself to make her way back to bed and rest. Turning off the lights in the room, a dark silence fell around her, and she looked at the dim ceiling as she lay in bed without a trace of sleepiness in her head.
The night was so silent that she could hear herself breathing. She closed her eyes and tossed and turned again for a long time before finally changing her clothes and leaving the room, going downstairs and opening the door to walk out.
The man by the streetlight had already left, leaving only a trail of cigarette butts.
Leonardo Cooper hadn’t been much of a smoker before, and she looked at the patch of cigarette butts with a slight wince. She was relieved though, at least Leonardo Cooper was gone.
“…” The next second, she turned around, only to see Leonardo Cooper standing behind her, what appeared to be a newly purchased cigarette in his hand.
Four eyes facing each other, Leonardo Cooper looked at her for a while, his voice was still gentle, “Why did you come out?”
Hearing his gentle voice, Sophie Sabastian’s stubbornness almost ran out of steam, but in the end, she still held her tongue and replied faintly, “Nothing.”
“Go to bed early, it’s a bit cold tonight, be careful not to catch a cold.” He said softly.
“Even if I catch a cold, it has nothing to do with you.”
Leonardo Cooper seemed to be a little helpless and looked at her for a moment without uttering a word, and Sophie Sabastian retraced her steps.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
For the rest of the night she tried to control herself from going out, and it was not until the sky was white with fish-belly that she became slightly drowsy, and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning was awakened by the noisy sounds of the street, and she rubbed her eyes when there was a knock on the door of her room.
“Sis, are you awake?”
“Uh, what’s wrong?”
“There’s a strange man in the village, he’s arguing with Theresa, the bully in our village right now, do you want to come down and take a look?”
Strange man? Sophie Sabastian frowned and subconsciously thought of Leonardo Cooper.
Although this mountain village is not big, but also like other villages, there is a little bully that no one likes, to put it bluntly, it is a small punk, because the village usually young people have gone out to work the only ones left are some old people and children, so he can be said to be very prosperous here.
Sophie Sabastian washed up and quickly went downstairs, there were quite a few people standing in the open space at the entrance, and were surrounding the two people in the very center.
“I say you, you’re really a newcomer, isn’t it just that you’re better looking? As for being so arrogant, besides, is there any use for you to be good looking? Is it hard to be a gigolo?”
After saying that, Theresa seemed to feel that this name was a bit strange for everyone, so she added wistfully, “It’s the kind of man who specializes in giving rich women a package, the little white boy who relies on women for his meals.”
Said it was a quarrel, in fact it was just that man alone who was quarreling, Leonardo Cooper stood quietly beside him, hands in his pockets, even if he habitually collected his aura, there was a trace of aura diffused if nothing else.
“Why don’t you say anything, you’re not looking down on brother, are you?” After speaking for so long without seeing him speak, speaking Theresa suddenly said, “Could it be that you are a mute?”
After saying that, Theresa tilted her head and laughed as if she had told some funny joke, and then the several punks next to her followed suit. The onlookers couldn’t help but feel a wave of revulsion, and became a little more worried about the strange man in the center.
“Say, who is this man, he looks like a big star, he can’t really be a big star, right?”
“It’s just a pity to be looked at by this Theresa.” Someone on the side muttered in a low voice.
Seeing the two people laughing and smiling in front of him, Leonardo Cooper’s handsome face didn’t have a single expression, the bottom of his eyes were like frozen glaciers, which even made that handsome face become cold.
When the two people saw his eyes, they couldn’t help but feel a chill, subconsciously glancing at each other and looking at each other in disbelief.
Sophie Sabastian stood further away, looking at Leonardo Cooper’s straight profile, subconsciously not wanting to avert her gaze, and in her heart, she made a prayer for these two people, messing with whoever they wanted to mess with but had to mess with such a scary man.
“Looks like you really don’t know what respect means unless you’re given a hard time!” It was the first time in all her years here that Theresa had seen such a difficult man and was so angry that she struck at Leonardo Cooper with one hand towards him.
Sophie Sabastian could almost imagine the next scene of Theresa being beaten up by Leonardo Cooper.
But with a muffled thud, the man who could have defeated ten men on his own, now with his face hard next to Theresa’s punch, his pale cheeks were flushing and he stumbled twice and almost fell to the ground.
Sophie Sabastian’s fingers trembled involuntarily, and felt a pang of scalp as she looked at the reddened corners of Leonardo Cooper’s mouth.
“Looks like a real coward.” Theresa smiled wistfully, all but ignoring Leonardo Cooper.
Why wouldn’t Leonardo Cooper let go?
Sophie Sabastian sucked in a cold breath and involuntarily ran in front of Leonardo Cooper.
“Bullying an unarmed man, are you really that good at it?” Sophie Sabastian said as she coldly looked at Theresa in front of her.
Seeing that it was Sophie Sabastian, a colorful expression surfaced on Theresa’s face, “Yo I said who is it, so it’s the new beauty.”
And then, Theresa looked at Leonardo Cooper behind her and said, “You want to save that man so badly?”
A trace of contempt surfaced in Sophie Sabastian’s eyes, “I just can’t see how certain people are always in the habit of bullying others.”
“Heh, it’s not impossible if you want to save him.” Theresa said, “Tell you what, how about you sleep with me for one night, to be honest none of these ugly bastards in our village are as pretty as you are.”
Sophie Sabastian’s fists clenched slightly, however before she could speak, someone next to her flashed past her like the wind, and in the next second Theresa in front of her was sent flying with a punch, her body crashing into a pole.
The punk was a bit dumbfounded when he saw this.
What the hell, was this man not a coward?
“You guys, what are you gawking at, hurry up and get this man!” Theresa hissed.
The punks nodded in a hurry, and the three of them immediately surrounded Leonardo Cooper.
Leonardo Cooper swept an icy cold glance at them, and immediately next the fist of one of them that came at him and kicked it hard.
