ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 2 - Season 8 Episode 83

“The thing you want to know?” A tinge of vigilance flashed within Leila’s eyes. She stared at Charles in awe and questioned, “What do you even mean by the thing you want to know?”

Charles’ expression turned fretful. He glared at Leila without blinking his eyes for once and interrogated, “I’ve had enough of you Leila! You better be honest with me. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a harsh lesson that you will surely remember for the rest of your life.”

Leila’s brows furrowed instinctively. She had apprehended that Charles had run out of his endurance. But, she truly not even had the slightest idea of what Charles wanted to know from her.

She pondered for a second and made a pledge to Charles, “Mr. Taylor, I promise you, I’ll make an amend and never show up in front of you ever as long as you let me go. I really don’t know what else to say?”

“Stop crying wolf. You know very well this is not I want to hear,” Charles responded with creased brows. He further added in a threatening voice, “Or you just want me to remind you of what you should confess?”

Leila was dismayed and frightened by Charles’ furious expression. She looked at Charles and asked tentatively, “So would you like to remind me please?”

“Ferry,” Charles replied briskly. When Leila heard Ferry’s name, her face got pale as if all of her blood were drained suddenly. She began to avoid eye contact with Charles and pretended not to understand what he wanted to know. “I don’t know what are talking about.

Who is Ferry? I don’t know him at all.”

“Leila.” Andy could no longer stand to remain silent. “I think you’d better not double-cross us. You even can’t protect yourself anymore and you are trying to protect Ferry. Are you even in your senses? You are very well aware of how important Sheryl is to Charles. Now since there are only us here! No one will ever know what happened to you.”

Andy smiled sarcastically and continued, “Even if you refuse to confess, Charles and I have the power to find Ferry by just spending enough time and efforts. You are keeping secret for Ferry and trying to protect him. But when we find him, do you think he will do the same for your sake? You can suffer less if you speak it out right now. The ball is in your court, think wisely lady?”

Andy’s words made Leila lost in her thoughts. After a long moment of respite, she finally lifted her head and glimpsed at Charles before she replied in a collapsed voice, “What do you want to know?”

She had surrendered herself. She confessed that she was destroyed by destiny.

She originally assumed that she could use Charlie as a helpful puppet, to live a luxurious life. But, to her surprise, she had lost the game after three years and the tables had turned.

Now, she was not even left with a single false hope to reunite with Charles. What all she desired, for now, was to get out of the situation safely.

Charles put on a sarcastic smile on his face. He interrogated ruthlessly, “So what the hell happened three years ago? Why did you ally yourself with Ferry?”

“Three years ago…”

Leila searched her memory for a while before she replied with a heavy tone, “Three years ago, it was Ferry who reached out to me. At that time I desperately wanted to be with you. So, I had no other choice than to accept his offer. I thought that I could be with you forever and that no one would ever dare to separate us. But, I didn’t expect that…”

She smiled wryly and continued, “But I didn’t expect that I would be defeated wholly.”

“So, Sheryl is Charlie’s mother, right?” Charles asked immediately.

Listening to Charles’ question, Leila turned silent on the spot.

She didn’t know what to say. She was all numb.

Although Charlie was given birth by Sheryl, he had been brought up by Leila. Leila also had feelings for him. She had always treated him as her own child and never ever did she thought of causing harm to him.

But, she surprisingly had to face the truth after three years, that the boy didn’t belong to her at all. Charles took him away from her, which tore her heart apart.

Seeing Leila’s struggling expression on the face that represented how her heart was aching, Charles smiled sardonically and stated in a cold voice, “To my astonishment, such a wicked person like you could even have emotions?”

Leila remained quiet as she could feel her heart in her throat.

Charles looked at Leila. “Even if you didn’t tell the truth about Charlie’s birth, I already knew it. Sheryl has already recovered her memory.

So, you didn’t know she was pregnant with twins when you took Charlie away?” Charles asked with an ambiguous smile.

Leila smiled sardonically and responded, “Yes, I didn’t know that at all.”

But she continued viciously, “If I had known it earlier, I would have also taken that girl with me.”

But if there were truly the “if” situation, she would have seen Sheryl die in front of her bare eyes and then taken her kids away. Maybe by this, she could have won the game completely. Nevertheless, evil never wins.

Charles hardened his expression and interrogated again, “Go ahead. Where the hell is Ferry now? Is it he who asked you to kidnap the kids?”

Hearing what Charles asked, Leila abruptly thought of a woman. Although she had changed her face, she couldn’t hide her selfish nature. If she told Charles that Holley was Yvonne, then there was a chance that Charles might grant some leniency to her and let her go safely?

When she was still hesitating, Charles impatiently interrupted her thoughts. “Leila, don’t waste our precious time. You should know I’m not that kind of patient person.”

Leila raised her head and stared at Charles. In the same moment, she got the flashback of what Holley once said to her.

If she spoke out this thing to Charles, she could not assure at all that whether Charles would let her go or not. But if she didn’t do so, Yvonne would not let any opportunity go to torture Sheryl as she hated her intensely.

Therefore, whatever consequences occurred, she must have to bear it.

Leila’s wickedness would make her feel happy as long as Sheryl also lived a hard life.

After struggling for a long time, she finally chose to keep Holley’s identity a secret.

“I think there is some misunderstanding. The kidnapping was done by me alone,” Leila responded to Charles. “Charlie has been with me for so many years. I’ve truly treated him as my own son. I just want to see him and let him be with me. Am I wrong? Isn’t it my right as his foster mother?” Leila kept justifying herself.

“Leila, I once said that I don’t like people who lie to me,” Charles answered rudely. “If you still lie to me, I’ll teach you a lesson. Keep that in your evil mind.” He threatened her with a stern expression.

Leila hesitated for a while, and eventually decided to not to be honest. “Mr. Taylor, you should also know that I am a mere cipher. I don’t have any power. Each time it was Ferry that contacted me. I couldn’t find him at all.”
