Chapter 6 I Don’t Mind If You Call Me “Hubby”
Monica had walked halfway last night, but the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
The Donat family needed at least millions; she hadn’t given anything in return. She felt guilty.
Barret’s words echoed in her mind.
“He is a man of his word.”
Leo was an honorable person, but what about her?
This deal was proposed by herself, and she had no right to go back on it.
Besides, if Leo held a grudge, it would be easy for him to bring down the Donat family. She couldn’t take that risk.
Taking a deep breath, she clenched her fists. Ultimately, she returned to that mansion but dared not knock on the door.
Looking at that terrifying face all night was like watching a horror movie!
Monica didn’t dare to dwell on it. She trembled and squatted in a corner, drifting off to sleep.
The next day, when Barret found her, she had a high fever and was unconscious.
Leo didn’t expect this girl to come back, sleep at the door for a whole night, and get herself sick.

Was she a fool?
Monica slept deeply for a whole day. It wasn’t until nightfall that she slowly woke up.
She felt dizzy and disoriented. The first thing she did was check her clothes; luckily, they were still intact.
Just then, a deep and magnetic voice reached her ears, like the rich tone of a cello, exuding an incredibly sexy aura.
“If you’re so afraid, why did you come back?”
She followed the sound and saw Leo flipping through a magazine on the nearby sofa, his slender fingers pinching the corner of a page.
At the exact moment, he looked up and met her gaze.
Seeing that horrifying face, her heart skipped a beat.
She forced herself to remain calm and gathered the courage to say, “I was the one who asked for your help. If you help me resolve my family’s crisis, I will marry you. Although I’m young and not yet of marriageable age, it doesn’t mean I can go back on my words. Yes, I’m afraid of you, but… I will try to overcome it. Someday, I will no longer fear you!”
She clenched her fists and spoke slowly, forcing herself to stay composed.
However, her trembling voice betrayed her true feelings at that moment.
Leo couldn’t help raising his eyebrows slightly when he heard her words.

He strode forward, reaching the edge of the bed.

Monica quickly retreated to the corner of the bed and realized something was wrong.
Gritting her teeth, she summoned the courage to take two
steps forward and sat on the edge of the bed, directly facing the man.
Leo immediately became intrigued by this girl.
His large hand caressed her cheek as he asked, “Still not afraid?”
She trembled, and her slightly feverish skin contrasted vividly against his cold fingers.
Of course, she was afraid.
But this man would be her husband for a lifetime, someone she would spend many years with. She couldn’t be afraid!
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and said, “No!”
“You’re young but quite bold,” Leo chuckled. His sexy and thin lips curved into an attractive arc.
His narrow eyes revealed a teasing smile, diluting the sense of horror brought by the scars and making him appear more approachable.
She stared at that smile and couldn’t help but think that Leo must be very handsome if he hadn’t been disfigured.
It was a pity…
Leo’s hand continued to move downward, directly slipping

Her body instantly tensed up, and she looked at him in shock and fear.
“Still not afraid?”
He asked in a teasing tone. He wanted to see how long Monica could keep up her tough act.
In his eyes… there was a hint of disdain.
He didn’t trust her or think she could endure it.
Monica felt an inexplicable sense of humiliation, not because of his teasing actions but because of his subtle taunting.
“You can also check my body and see my loyalty to you. This world doesn’t revolve around you, Leo– tard, and your absolute authority!”
“What did you call me?”

The man paused his actions, his dangerous eyes narrowing with some displeasure.
“Leo–tard!” she fearlessly replied, “You’re my future husband. What’s wrong with calling you an affectionate nickname?”
Upon hearing her confident words, Leo couldn’t help but laugh.
What a ridiculous nickname. How dare this girl challenge him
in such a manner!
Yet… he couldn’t find fault with it.

An affectionate nickname?
“I don’t mind if you call me hubby!”
He pulled her into his embrace, his large hand gripping her rounded buttocks.
She didn’t appear thin. Her curves were alluring, but she felt light, like a fragile porcelain doll in Leo’s arms. He was a little worried about accidentally breaking her.
Their distance suddenly closed, and she was half a head taller than him. It was the third time she had seen his face up close like this.
The burn marks looked rough and intimidating, and there was a scar on his brow, though not as long as the rumors had suggested, making him appear even more fierce.
Half his face was disfigured, leaving only the sharp, hawk–like eyes, slender and captivating.
With a slight raise of his eyebrow, he looked pretty intimidating.
His deep black eyes were like ink, vast and boundless, like an endless starry sky. They seemed to hold a black hole within, capable of drawing people in deep.
As their gazes met, she suddenly felt less afraid. Perhaps she had forced herself to accept this person in her heart!
She took a deep breath and said straightforwardly, “When I turn twenty, and we can register our marriage, I will naturally call you hubby. For now, we are only engaged, and… not that intimate yet…”

She felt a bit bashful as she finished her sentence.

She was only eighteen years old and already someone else’s fiancée. In the future, she would share a bed with him and build a family together.
It felt unbelievable just thinking about it.
Upon hearing her words, Leo started to look forward to seeing this girl grow up quickly.
Seeing her shy appearance, he felt the urge to tease her.
“Since we’re already engaged, give me a kiss.”
“Huh?” She froze as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head, and her ears turned red, almost as if they were bleeding.
Leo had no concept of shame and leaned in, saying, “Didn’t you say you weren’t afraid? Didn’t you say we’re engaged? How come you can’t even kiss your fiancé?”
Monica gritted her teeth fiercely upon hearing his words.
He provoked her, but she couldn’t refute him, or she would lose.
Deep down, she also wanted to prove herself, so she mustered the courage and cupped his face.
He deliberately presented his undamaged half–face, but she kissed the scarred half.
Since she had burned her bridges, she would bravely accept the current situation!

Leo was satisfied with the kiss but would have been even more pleased if it had landed on his lips.
Just then, the secretary knocked on the door, saying something needed his attention.
After Leo left, Monica was still in a daze.
She had kissed him. Did that count as her first kiss?
She buried her face in the blanket, unsure of her emotions.
Regret? Or shyness?
Leo went to his study, and the secretary handed him Monica’s file.
Barret stood by, helping him remove the lifelike prosthetic mask from his face.
Leo revealed a perfectly sculpted face with distinct features.. It was as if God had meticulously carved it without flaws or imperfections!
