Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The Young Master Li from Nanyang is Suspected of Finding New Love
Delphine was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. It had only been one night, how could the child suddenly be gone? It seemed that the child really wasn’t Jocelyn Yeager’s.
"What will happen to them now?" Delphine asked softly.
"There are plenty of loveless couples in this world, not every marriage is founded on deep affection," Ignatius Leclair said indifferently, curling his lips into a slight smirk. "It all depends on whether Bessie Leclair wants to continue this marriage, or if she wants to leave."
As for Jocelyn Yeager’s wishes—they were never part of his consideration.
Delphine furrowed her brows, her voice turning slightly cold. "You Leclair Family people really do have an air of tyranny deep in your bones."
Ignatius Leclair heard her words, his phoenix eyes darkening. He wanted to say that he was only domineering toward the ones he loved, but the words he spoke instead were, "Get some more rest; the sun hasn’t come up yet."
Delphine lay back down, turning over to face away from him. Since she became pregnant, she had been unusually fond of sleep, often resting for more than twelve hours a day.
She closed her eyes and thought of the dream she’d just had, softly murmuring, "I dreamed about Leah earlier. Are you really uninvolved in the matter of Griffith Squire?"
Ignatius’s phoenix eyes darkened further. After a long pause, he said in a heavy tone, "Delphine, if I wanted to act, I would have done so when I first learned of the Squire siblings’ identities. Whether Griffith Squire lives or dies, no one will harm Leah Squire. On the contrary, everyone will go to great lengths to protect her."
After all, Leah Squire was the last remaining descendant of the Cox Family. Following the events 24 years ago involving the Cox Family, the Lewis Family adopted Leah and spoiled her endlessly—all because, as a lonely and helpless young girl, she had adored Richard Shaw since childhood. The Shaw Family even sacrificed the lifelong happiness of their eldest grandson, forcing Richard to marry Leah.
And as for the Howard Family—his grandmother, though she never voiced her regrets over the years, often displayed a sense of melancholy.
This was the price all of them owed to the Cox Family.
If Griffith Squire hadn’t switched out the child in secret and stolen his own sister away, Leah Squire would still be living a life of dominance and privilege in the Imperial City.
Her spoiled and reckless nature stemmed from years of indulgence. Ignatius recalled how Leah had behaved during her rebellious teenage years—she was just like a little delinquent, dyeing her hair in garish colors and painting her face with hideous makeup. Yet, ironically, old Richard had always been fond of gentle and demure women, and he could hardly conceal his disdain for the unruly young girl he was forced to marry.
Indeed, one’s own mistakes must ultimately be repaid. Who could have foreseen that the disdain Richard once held would, years later, turn into longing for what he could no longer have?
Ignatius’s gaze deepened further as he noticed how, in just a short time, Delphine had fallen asleep again, her breathing soft and even. He couldn’t help but chuckle quietly to himself. After much hesitation, he removed his clothes, climbed into bed carefully, and gently wrapped her in his arms before closing his eyes for the night.
The next morning, when Delphine woke up, she felt particularly well-rested, as though she had been enveloped in a warm, soothing presence throughout the night—a feeling that was tenderly comforting and hard to resist.
Mrs. Lee had already set the breakfast on the table. When she saw Delphine arise, she smiled and said, "Miss Delphine, early this morning the Young Master mentioned that he’ll be heading to the hospital today to visit the Fourth Miss, so he won’t be coming back for lunch."
Delphine nodded and let out a cold snort. No one was expecting him to come anyway; it wasn’t as if he didn’t indulge in three meals a day here like clockwork.
She picked up her phone and began casually scrolling through her Weibo feed, then raised an eyebrow in realization—she now knew which woman’s perfume scent had been lingering on him.
Weibo’s trending topics and headlines were dominated by a striking title: "Leclair Heir from South Asia Suspected of Having a New Flame, Secretly Meeting with a Young Female Doctor in Private for Over an Hour."
