Chapter 296 " Where do you think you're going , Sebby ? Aren't you coming back to the hotel with me ? " Leda asked , her voice carrying far too loudly , as it no one else were around . Several guests had already turned to stare . Leon , horrified , grabbed her shoulders . " Leda ! Not so loud ! This is the most important time in a man's life when he's building his career ! You can't tie him down to relationship routines every single day . " Leda's eyes locked on me . " What are you even saying , Leon ? This exactly the right time for a man to fall in love and settle into a relationship !

What , should he wait until he's a senior at 62 ? That's basically 65 in practice ! " She jabbed her finger in my direction . " He's 25 now ! He's running out of time to drink from the sweet spring of love ! Why are you standing in the way of us doing that ? " Leon and I gaped at her , speechless . Was she ... taking a jab at me ? God , how was I supposed to prove that ? " Are you sure this is your first relationship , Leda ? " Leon's voice dripped with skepticism . " More irrelevant nonsense . Sebastian looks plenty healthy and fit for nightly activities , so buzz off !

You had your time with him . Now it's my turn ! " Leon seized her hand and dragged her away , though he gave me a quick nod of farewell . " How dare you stop me from exercising my freedom , Leon !

Maybe I should head to Beaushire and see if I get lucky enough to run into her . " There was another reason to go . My hometown , Beauclab , was nearby . Since settling in Astergrad , I hadn't been home to visit my parents in over a decade . Not because of my work - that was Hera's fault . " I should visit them now that I've made some money .
