Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

Theodore's sudden enthusiasm only puzzled Augustus. He stared at the messages sent over by Theodore.

Why was he suddenly so concerned about this woman? Could he be curious about someone out there looking like him? Although, it did not make sense for Theodore to be asking for so much information about a woman who happened to look quite like him. It was creepy.

Augustus had just replied to Theodore's messages when Theodore called him on the phone.

He was feeling incredulous. This could not be happening. Could his friend be so narcissistic that he would like to date a woman who looked like him?

Augustus gulped as if he had just discovered a big secret.

He picked up the call. "What do you need, Theodore?"

Theodore sounded a little anxious over the phone.

"Augustus, tell me where you saw that woman. It's very important."

When he heard Theodore sounding so anxious, Augustus got serious. Theodore had always been stoic and calm. He had never ever lost his cool like this before. This had to be really important. Augustus frowned and took out the candy from his mouth.

"I saw her around the guest house that I often visit. I thought she was feeling unwell when I saw her crouching there and went to check on her, but when she turned to look at me, I noticed how much she looked like you."

Augustus was a little worried about his buddy. "Theodore, is there something wrong with that woman? It's the first time I've heard you sounding so anxious.

"Does your father have an illegitimate child out there?"

Before he heard Theodore's answer, the call was hung up.

Theodore did not feel the need to explain any further to Augustus.

The royal family had just held a funeral not long before that involved the younger sister he had never seen.

However, Augustus had just informed him that he had met a woman who looked quite like Theodore.

Was this a coincidence? It was too much of one! Theodore looked down at his boring documents. For the first time in his life, he found himself unable to continue working.

An unrealistic thought appeared in his mind. That woman could be the sister he had never met before.

He knew that this was a crazy thought and there was no evidence to support this, but he wanted to take a chance.

What if that woman really was his sister? He should not give up any hope, right?

Moreover, his mother was heartbroken right now. If that woman really was Velda, she would not be so sad anymore.

Theodore decided to put down his work. He said to the helpers outside, "I'm going out. Don't touch any of the documents in my room."

They lowered their heads at Theodore as an indication that they understood his instructions.

Theodore thought as he walked out.

Augustus said that he met the woman near the guest house.

Theodore knew that place. It was a very rural and quiet area. No one would go there besides the people around the area and those on vacation.

That meant the women might be staying there as well. He might be able to bump into her if he went there too.

Theodore walked out of the palace while thinking about this. He rejected the helpers who offered to come along with him. He put on a mask and went over to the guest house in a low profile.

...

As for Augustus, he was staring at the wide sky while his mouth twitched from Theodore hanging up on him.

Theodore should be explaining things to him even if Theodore found him too annoying.

Hanging up that way was really frustrating.
