The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky

Chapter 475
Ariel gaped at this. She initially wanted to help Leon win back Iris’s heart out of kindness, but she never thought Leon would
reject her outright!
“What happened in the past should stay in the past. Since she no longer trusts me, there’s no point in me begging her to change
her mind. The fact that she has mistrusted me once means that there likely will be a second, third, and God knows how many
times.
“Even if you helped me win her back this time, what will happen in the future? What if she still chooses to mistrust me if
something else happens down the line? Am I supposed to beg for her to change her mind again and again?” Leon said solemnly.
He could not help recalling the term he came across on the internet recently–the word, simp, would perfectly describe someone
like him if he were to beg for Iris’s forgiveness over and over.
Besides, Iris was not the only one who mistrusted him, even Elder Young and Gilbert were the same.
If he were to put down his ego and beg for Iris to take him back, this would not change the rest of her family’s minds. If they were
to get back together, he would have to suffer disrespect and humiliation from Iris and the rest of her family!
Leon was not willing to give up the last ounce of his dignity. The only thing he could do now embraced his work and prove
himself worthy instead of begging Iris to take pity on him.
“What are you going to do from now on? Are you giving up on Iris?” Ariel’s heart leaped into her throat. She was having
conflicted feelings–on the one hand, she hoped that Leon and Iris would be able to reconcile, yet on the other hand, she was
secretly longing for Leon to give up on Iris so she would have a chance.
“I don’t know, but I guess I’ll just take things a step at a time. If an opportunity arises, I’ll try to win back her heart, but if not, I
guess we were never meant to be,” Leon replied, sighing.
The truth was, he wanted to get Iris back again once he proved himself worthy of her love, but he was worried that it would be
too late by then!
“Well, I’m glad you’re thinking sensibly. I hope you won’t let this small obstacle hinder your path to success, but most importantly,
you shouldn’t drink so much. I don’t want to see you so miserable.” Ariel tried to console Leon as best as she could, thinking that
he drank so much out of misery over his heartbreak.

“Don’t worry. I promise I’ll get back on my feet again,” Leon replied, smiling.
He knew that Ariel was worried about him and could not help feeling touched by what a great friend she was.
The two of them continued chatting over dinner until eventually, they finished their food and left the
restaurant.
After parting ways with Ariel, Leon suddenly received a call from Louisa. “Hey, Leon, I heard about your breakup with my cousin.
I don’t understand what got into her–how can she possibly be swayed by my grandfather and uncle into thinking you were the
one who masterminded her kidnapping and is dating her only for her money?
“Don’t worry, I believe you–I know you’d never do anything like this!” Louisa declared rather indignantly.
“Thank you for trusting me, Louisa.” Leon was a little surprised by this.
After being injured by Gilbert, being betrayed by the Youngs, and finally being doubted by the woman he loved, Leon could not
help feeling disappointed and even resentful of the Youngs.
Thankfully, there were still sensible people within the family, and Louisa’s trust in him sent a surge of warmth spreading through
his heart.
However, he still could not help feeling disheartened by the fact that Iris did not trust him, and instead Louisa and Ariel both did.
“Where are you now, Leon? Why don’t you come over, and I’ll help you persuade my cousin to give you another chance. Then,
you can talk to her yourself, and I’m sure she’ll come around.”
