Chapter 723 Proper Attitude

Suddenly, a voice was inserted. Hester turned her eyes in confusion, but when she saw the person,
she was stunned in disbelief.

"Leo?"

Leo changed his cynical attitude, looked solemn and walked slowly with calm eyes. When he saw that
Hester was safe and sound, he was obviously relieved.

He walked to his grandfather and nodded respectfully.

"Grandpa!"

Hester was surprised to hear Leo call him. She turned her head silently and looked at the old man with
a heavy expression. Her mood was very complicated.

'What's going on? Wasn't the old man in front of her a creditor? Why did he suddenly become Leo's
grandfather?'

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will blame her?"

Seeing that Leo was out of breath, Edmund knew what he meant. He took a meaningful glance at the
butler not far away and didn't make a fuss about it.

He had only kidnapped Hester for less than an hour, but he had already received the news. No one
would do it except his butler!

Noticing his gaffe, Leo raised his eyebrows slightly, took a deep breath and adjusted his breath, trying
to make himself look more stable.

He calmly blocked Hester behind him, smiling.



"Grandpa, I came here in a hurry because I suddenly missed you."

"Huh!"

Edmund snorted. Obviously, he didn't believe what he said. He always asked him to go back to the old
house, but why was he so obedient today?

Although Hester didn't know what was going on, the corners of her mouth twitched when she heard
Leo's confident words. She didn't know how to respond.

Perhaps it was because Leo realized that his awkward excuse was too clumsy, he couldn't help but
chuckled, but still tried his best to maintain his rigorous attitude.

"Well, in fact, I have nothing to do now. I remember that grandpa is not feeling well, so I want to come
and have a look!"

Hester stood aside and shook her head helplessly. This man's acting skill was really careless. As a
bystander, she had seen clearly the hypocrisy in it, let alone the elder in front of her?

"I know what you are thinking. You don't have to play tricks on me."

Edmund slowly put down his crutch and said lightly. He didn't want to see his insincere expression.

"Hester, right?"

Hearing her name, she nodded her head. Even though she didn't know what he wanted to do, she still
had some confidence in her heart with the presence of Leo.

"Grandpa!"

Afraid that his grandfather would look down upon him, Leo hurriedly persuaded him. Judging from the
current situation, he was afraid that his grandfather had already known that Hester was his



granddaughter, but it was better for him to hide that his aunt's death!

"Well, I heard from Hardy that you have been in low spirits recently. You have just taken the medicine,
so you must be a little sleepy now.

Why don't you go to bed first? I'll take care of here. I promise I will tell you everything you want to know.
Don't worry!"

"I don't think so!"

Edmund said coldly. The agate bead on his fingertips moved slowly, and his eyes were calm.

"Grandpa, I'm worried about your health, so I want to help you with something. This is my filial piety.
You can't spoil it like this!"

Frowning, Leo covered his heart with his hand and scolded Edmund indignantly. How could no one
believe his filial piety?

"Leo!"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Edmund looked at Leo with his sharp eyes and had a headache.
Leo was calm when he was a child, but why did he become like this when he grew up?

"I don't know what you are thinking, but I have to do it myself today! If you are really worried, I can let
you stand aside, but you have to shut up!"

Being ordered not to speak, Leo frowned to express his dissatisfaction. Judging from Hardy's tone just
now, the two were about to fight. If he didn't open his mouth, wouldn't he watch them fight?

"Grandpa, you know how you talk and do things. Hester is not like Sheryl and I who have been taught
by you since childhood. She is used to everything.



Do you want me to watch her cry later?"

Edmund's face darkened. Although this young man was usually naughty, he was right. He was too
decisive and it was really hard to accept.

"Shut up! I will pay attention to the way I speak."

The corners of Leo's mouth twitched, but he finally closed his mouth in silence under the gaze of
Edmund. Edmund would never give in. It was beyond his expectation that he could compromise this
time.

No matter how worried he was about Hester, he couldn't say anything more.

As the only unknown crowd, Hester was very nervous. She just wanted to go home early and have a
rest today, but she was unlucky to meet such a thing. It was really a mistake!

"I've made myself clear to you just now. I'll pay my father's debt. Please don't force me to tell you where
my mother is."

Edmund's face, which had just eased a little, instantly calmed down. His eyes narrowed and were
about to flare up. However, he heard Leo coughing and taking a deep breath to calm himself down.

"I don't know why you said I'm your creditor, but I'm really not. As for your father, is he often in debt?"

Hester's straight back moved slightly. As long as he was not her father's creditor, it was fine. It must be
true. So many years had passed, how could it be possible for the creditor to find her?

However, since the man in front of her was not the creditor, why did he bring her here?

"Since you are not the creditor, why did you bring me here? Do you just want to know where my mother
is?"



Faced with Hester's question, Edmund nodded slightly. He didn't want to see the man who stole his
daughter again all his life.

"I don't want to have anything to do with that bastard all my life. I just want to know where your mother
is."

"First of all, I don't think it's a proper attitude for the questioner to take me here like this."
