Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 564



"Fine, I'll help you this one time. But if it doesn't work, promise me you won't do something this foolish again." Daniel looked at Gwen sternly and continued, "Were you completely drunk at home yesterday? In the end, it was the maids who cleaned up your mess."

Daniel despised a lack of self-control more than anything else. Gwen's father had endured countless scoldings from him as he taught him the consequences of blindly pursuing profits in business. Especially with their connections to this secret organization, they had to be even more cautious.

That was also why Daniel had never approved of Gwen's father, Lee Zimmer. If he could not smooth out his rough edges and resolve the issues he left behind over a decade ago, he would surely encounter even bigger problems in the future.

On the contrary, Daniel's admiration for Linus was justified. He knew that Linus had forbearance, self-restraint, and outstanding abilities—an ideal candidate for the leader of Spades.

Gwen's relentless persuasion finally wore down Daniel's resistance, and he reluctantly agreed, much to Gwen's delight.

When Linus arrived on the 25th floor, the entire floor was guarded by members of Spades, preventing anyone else from stepping forward easily.

All the underlings of Spades recognized Linus, but they still required him to show his proof of identity.

Linus took out the organization's top-secret insignia, and only then was he allowed to pass.

He knocked on the door of Room 2506, and the door quickly swung open.

It was Gwen.

"Linus?!"

Gwen was ecstatic, but her enthusiasm seemed excessive in comparison to Linus' demeanor.

Linus was calm as he paused briefly before politely smiling at Gwen. "I'm here to speak with Mr. Zimmer."

"No rush." Gwen casually hooked her arm around Linus' and said, "Grandpa is waiting for you, but first, can you tell me where you've been these past few days?"

"I've been out on missions, so I've been busy lately."

Linus discreetly tried to push Gwen's arm away, but she held on tightly without budging, leaving them in a standoff.

Gwen noticed Linus' subtle movements, but she remained composed.

Perhaps she had grown numb from being rejected by him so many times.

Linus knew that if he continued to

resist and refused to talk to Gwen, she would never give up. He reluctantly engaged in conversation with her.

"You were drunk yesterday. Are you feeling unwell? Maybe you should rest."

"I'm fine."

Gwen was overjoyed that Linus was willing to speak to her, so she had no intention of resting.

Ignoring Gwen's intense gaze, Linus asked, "Where's Mr. Zimmer?"

"He's resting in the room."

"I'll go to him."

"Wait a minute!"

Linus was caught off guard when Gwen suddenly grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

"Gwen?!"

It seemed Moose's advice from a long

ago was right, after all.

“Linus... Linus, I know I was wrong before, but please don't push me away."

Linus was stronger than her, so he managed to break free from her grasp, but she persisted.

"I don't blame you, Gwen, but I need
