Sweet like Wine: Love Your Dimples Even More-Chapter 74 - 47: A Level Beyond Swindling, Stealing, and Violence

Chapter 74: Chapter 47: A Level Beyond Swindling, Stealing, and Violence

Although Leo Vaughn and Artie Vaughn are fraternal twins, the education they received from a young age was of completely different types.

Talia Tate instilled in Artie Vaughn the educational philosophy that a girl should be dainty and delicate.

The philosophy instilled in Leo Vaughn was that a boy should be bold and stand tall.

"What is it?" The Nation’s Gentleman could not recall any oversight in his comprehensive plans.

"It must be to boost the performance for Cupid’s Earth general agent! Surely, Artie doesn’t need to play a recording for you to remember, does she?" Artie often used emphasis when there were little "secrets" involved.

Hasn’t the agency right for the Cupid Earth general agent been retracted?

How did it come up again in just a matter of days?

Leo assumed that the matter of "a long sister-in-law as a mother" had already passed.

Leo was at a loss facing the combined pressure from both his mother and sister.

Neither of these women was someone he "could afford to offend."

Perhaps twins share similarities in many ways.

Like Artie, Leo also embodies the conflicting nature of Wellness Punk.

Leo doesn’t see any problem with this.

Is there anyone who has never experienced conflict?

But since Culture’s passing, Leo has stopped showing his inner conflict.

From that moment, Leo focused on supporting his family and managing the Winters Spirits Group.

Being a Wellness Punk or examining one’s heart, both require time.

The only thing Leo lacks is time.

Has Leo never longed for love?

He has.

What 23-year-old boy wouldn’t yearn for a relationship of his own?

But aside from the time and effort it requires, what could love bring him?

In fact, Leo’s first love is gone.

Two years before Culture passed away, Leo had already started dating.

The girl could be called a childhood friend, the daughter of Winters Spirits’ former general manager.

She went to the same kindergarten as Leo and Artie.

At 15, the girl was sent to Scotland by the former general manager, to the same school where Leo and Artie studied.

When Culture’s incident occurred, it was the first love who accompanied Leo back to the country, and then, nothing followed.

The girl never contacted Leo again.

By the time Leo had truly taken control of Winters Spirits, and everything had settled, the girl or her father wanted a "then," Leo had already become a Nation’s Gentleman without a "then" with any girl.

Were Leo and the girl ever deeply in love?

Not really.

After all, they were just teenagers.

But this didn’t stop Leo from developing a bias against love.

Heh, love.

Heh heh, love.

That unsuccessful and not-so-beautiful "first love" made Leo lose the ability to love someone.

Since then, Leo only saw family love, not romantic love.

Leo hid all of his true feelings, smiling at everyone, and became more accustomed to this version of himself.

He knew there were other girls who looked at him with a gaze almost full of pity.

But it was just for a moment, Leo remained the Nation’s Gentleman.

Many boys may lack emotional intelligence, but not Leo.

Leo seldom says things that make people uncomfortable. Rich and unmatched in manners, he possesses things other boys his age don’t, yet lacks something more important than emotional intelligence: love intelligence.

Love intelligence, signifies the ability to fall in love with someone.

Some people can fall deeply and intensely in love with every relationship.

Others, due to various reasons, become "love disabled," possibly never falling in love with anyone in their lifetime, not even themselves.

Leo looked at Summer Fairmont, wanting to apologize, because the current situation was indeed a bit embarrassing.

But when he really saw Summer’s expression, not a word could come out.

Summer, always cool and devoid of any emotion on her face, seemed not to grasp what Talia and Artie were teasing about involving her.

Obviously, Summer didn’t care at all about what Artie and Talia were "conspiring" right in front of her.

The other party involved clearly didn’t care, and apologizing now would seem condescending and disdainful.

The Nation’s Gentleman wouldn’t do such a thing, not then, and not in the future.

"Didn’t I say that I listen to Artie?" Leo could only resort to his previous excuse.

Last time, when Artie was teasing, Summer didn’t even know what it meant to become Artie’s sister-in-law.

Now that she knew, Talia and Artie’s little plans wouldn’t likely succeed on Summer here.

After being the Nation’s Gentleman for so many years, Leo was skilled at deflecting.

Cupid’s Earth General Agent laughed arrogantly, tilted her head slightly, and made a scratching gesture with both hands, addressing Leo: "I dare you not to listen."

Talia was also very satisfied with Leo’s reaction. For her, the most important thing now was to win over Summer: "Summer Darling, if you don’t agree, auntie won’t let you return to Scotland."

Talia had used to teach Artie why seize when one could deceive.

According to Talia’s implication now, above the level of cheat and steal, smash and burn, there was kidnapping and extortion and restriction of personal freedom.

"Okay." Summer’s response was as simple as last time, containing only a single word.

In this world, no one could spar in Tai Chi with Summer, unless Summer herself wanted to engage.

Leo visits Scotland at most once a year to see Artie, staying no more than three days each time.

In the foreseeable future, Summer had no plans to come to Celestar again.

She promised Artie if there was a boy she liked, she would evaluate him for her.

This time, it was clearly a "wolf came" situation.

However, Summer had already fulfilled her promise.

So next time, even if it’s a "pack of wolves," they won’t likely have Summer fly for hours to evaluate again.

Leo’s mental process before deflecting was clear to Summer’s sharp eyes.

She doesn’t like being involved in playful maneuvers, so she bounces back.

Summer might even find Leo’s actions somewhat childish.

After all, it wasn’t her who was going to stay by Talia’s side.

As for Artie, it was Leo himself who claimed to listen to Artie, so if anything, it was he who needed to comply before involving Summer.

Leo, who claimed to listen to his sister in everything, was the main actor in this situation, while Summer, who only cooperated by saying "okay," had little to deal with.

Using Nation’s Gentleman to describe someone with smiling depression is an extremely dark, black humor.
