Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 142 Evil guest?

"You...why do you think so?"

After hearing Leon's words, Anna felt dizzy and almost fell down, but she still held on to her last hope and struggled hard:

"Brother, haven't you seen the photo? You look so much like your mother, and your hair and eye color are exactly the same as your father's..."

"Well, it does look very similar."

Leon nodded when he heard this and said very frankly:

“It’s just because they are so similar that I never suspected it in the past, but when I was out on the field last week, I went to the Lane family’s genealogy room and saw a lot of things in it.

Anna, unlike me who has no memory, you should know that my grandfather was born in the Lane family, and the origin of our surname is not Lane County, but the Duke family on Redwood Avenue, right? "

"right…"

Seeing that Leon actually found out such a thing, the sickly girl couldn't help but turn pale, then bit her lip and nodded:

"I...I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that grandpa said that because of the competition for the title or something, he had a deadly feud with many people and finally escaped from the royal capital. Let us never Get in touch over there…”

"Well, I believe you."

After putting on his shoes, he stood up and looked at the pale sister in front of him. Leon silently took a step forward and gave her a deep hug again. He said in a calm voice:

"But I also hope you can trust me."

"I…"

"It doesn't matter. People always have some secrets that they don't want others to know. I also have secrets like this that I hide from you, but that doesn't stop me from thinking that you are my family."

After gently stroking Anna's hair, Leon stopped hugging her, turned to gently hold her cheek, looked into Anna's eyes, and said extremely seriously:

“I don’t know who you think is family, but to me, blood closeness is not the only condition for family, or even a necessary condition.

From a selfish perspective, who do I most want to share with when I am happy, and who do I most want to talk to when I am in pain? Those are my family, and the first person I think of is always you. "

"elder brother…"

"I'm here, but I'm leaving soon."

Looking at his sister who had not only the circles under her eyes but also the tip of her nose red, Leon smiled, pinched the tip of her red nose affectionately, then took a step back, picked up the things and opened the room. The door went out.

"Ah! Wait for me!"

Just when Anna, who was still a little at a loss, wiped away her tears and took a step forward to send him off, she saw Leon suddenly turned around and asked:

"By the way, what did you say to me before I came in?"

"ah?"

"Ah what? You told me that no matter when, if I feel tired, I can come home and you will always be waiting for me..."

After repeating Anna's words, Leon frowned and said displeased:

"You have to keep your word. No matter whether I'm related to you by blood or not, or whether I'm your brother, you can't chase me away when I come back!"

"Brother...you are really..."

After reaching out and wiping the corners of her eyes, the sickly girl who burst into laughter shook her head and said with some annoyance:

"What weird things are you saying? How could I drive you away?"

"It's best if you don't chase me away, but even if you chase me away, I will definitely not leave."

After kicking Ana's shoes further in and stopping her from sending him away, Leon waved his hand to her who seemed to be relieved, and went downstairs carrying a blanket and shopping bag.

After Leon went downstairs, Anna closed the door gently and walked quickly to the window, staring at the figure without blinking her eyes. It wasn't until Leon boarded a carriage and disappeared behind the corner with the sound of the whistle that she finally He reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Maybe...the situation I fear most will never happen? Even if he knew what he had done, his brother might not necessarily...

"Tuk, dunk." At this moment, a slightly heavy knock on the door sounded, which startled Anna. After calming down, she stood up and walked over, asking through the door:

"Who's out there?"

"As for me... I can be considered your friend."

He gently knocked on the door lock, and amidst the crisp sound of the lock cylinder automatically twisting, a man wearing a black robe and a wide-brimmed hat on his head, whose face could not be clearly seen, walked into the room and looked towards the room. The frightened Anna nodded and greeted in a cold and hard voice:

"I haven't seen you in almost six years. Miss Anna, how are you doing recently?"

Six years?

After hearing this keyword and looking at this man with long and thin eyes, who still had a hint of "crying" on his face even though he was trying to smile with the corners of his mouth pulled, Anna reacted suddenly.

"You...you're the guy from the photo studio!"

"Well, it's me."

He took off his hat and put it on his chest, bowed slightly and made a gentleman's salute. The man who was born to cry apologized politely and coldly:

"Excuse me, I have no other intention of visiting you this time. I just want to see how you are doing... Is the person you just left the family member you chose for yourself?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

After hearing the man's words, Anna's complexion suddenly turned pale, and then she bit her lips tightly and nodded extremely stiffly.

"yes…"

"husband?"

"It's brother..."

"Excuse me."

After a sincere apology, the man with a rather stiff expression continued to ask:

"Sorry for eavesdropping on some of your conversations. It seems that you have been getting along very happily over the years, so you should be quite satisfied with what I gave you, right?"

“…”

"Miss Anna, please don't be so nervous..."

Looking at Anna, whose face was getting paler, there was a hint of helplessness in the man's icy voice.

"I really don't have any ill intentions when I come to visit you this time. I just want to see the current status of that thing. The reason why I unlocked the door a little offensively is just because I'm afraid that you won't want to open the door."

After explaining his purpose, as if to reassure her, the man took a few steps back until he reached the door. Then he stretched out his palm toward Anna and politely asked for advice:

"If possible, could you please take out the thing I gave you and let me examine it a little bit?"

Seeing that he really didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Anna couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then shook her head vigorously, and said with a slightly apologetic expression:

"Originally it was possible, but I just discovered that I seemed to have lost that photo..."

? ? ?

Lost? How could this be lost?

For this kind of high-numbered experimental product that is expected to achieve the goal, I have added more than one following law. Even if it is torn to pieces, crushed to pieces, or even burned to ashes, it should reappear next to you!

…

When he received the unexpected answer, the man in black robe was slightly confused.

After staring into Anna's eyes, it seemed that he had used some means to confirm that she was not lying. The man in black robe couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and then said in a rather helpless voice:

"Then there's nothing we can do... Well, since the things have been lost, can you please tell me about the situation in the past few years?"
