Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1379

Davon didn't care about the interaction between Phoenix and Booth. To Davon, his only task was to bring them out safely.

The group just walked out with Leo's written permission in their hands.

Of course, Leo didn't know that Davon had taken the group away. Leo guessed that the special assistant should be fascinated by Phoenix after they slept together. And it should also be the reason he had forgotten the etiquette and left directly. But given that he was the assistant of the patriarch of the Sawyer family and that the Sawyer had promised to consider investing in military research, Leo was finally pleased.

Although it was a bit mortifying to admit that his daughter married to a special assistant, there was nothing more important than military research. As long as Davon was willing to invest him, his military strength would be another level higher. At that time, he would have anything he wanted.

It was just a sacrifice of a daughter, not to mention that it was the daughter he didn't like.

With that in mind, Leo didn't care about Phoenix and Davon anymore. He even felt that it was a good thing that Phoenix and Davon didn't show up at the state banquet. In this way, both of them would be less embarrassed. After all, the fact that the king's daughter married to a mere special assistant didn't seem to be glorious to him.

After receiving the message from Davon that they had gotten out already, Kim stood up and said to Leo, "My Lord, thank you for your hospitality today. I'm a little tired. Please excuse me."

"No problem. Please have a good rest. I wish you would consider more about military research. I look forward to your joining us."

"I'll think about it."

With that, Kim left.

The banquet was held for the patriarch of the Sawyer family. Now that the man had left, it was time for the others to leave. But Leo asked everyone to stay.

Major was missing. And he had to give Jayden some explanation no matter what.

"Have any of you seen Major?"

Leo ran his gaze at the people presented, the sharpness in it sent shivers down everyone's spine.

Zayn was surprised.

Major was missing?

What was going on?

Santino didn't say anything. The people he sent out hadn't returned yet, so he certainly didn't know what Major was doing outside. But he definitely didn't want Leo to find out about it, so he could only play dumb now.

Everyone else knew that Leo treated Major differently, which was why no one dared to offend Major. Now that they were questioned by Leo, all of them were anxious. The twisted looks on their faces were hilarious.

Leo swept his eyes over everyone but failed to get anything loose. He could only say in a low voice, "I don't care if any of you has a problem with Major. I'm telling you, no one is allowed to lay a finger on him. If I find out who is behind this and hurt Major, don't blame me for being cruel."

Zayn only lowered his head and sneered. Santino was expressionless, making it hard for others to tell what he was thinking.

Since he couldn't get anything from the group and his men hadn't come back, Leo was getting even irritated.

"Get back, all of you. There're a lot of troubles recently. Don't walk around."

He was basically telling everyone to stay in their palaces. Although he didn't make it clear that they were grounded, it was almost the same.

Zayn and Santino snorted at the same time. Without saying anything, they left with their folks.

After following Davon into the car, Booth saw the patriarch of the Sawyer family walking over and sitting in the same car with Davon. However, the moment he got into the car, he reported to Davon, "Sir, are you really bringing Princess Inez back?"

"Any problem with that?"

Davon glanced at Kim.

Kim shook his head and explained in a low voice, "It would be fine if she was at our side. I'm just afraid that Leo sends her here to monitor you."

"She's not with Leo but with Samuel."

Davon did not hide it from Kim.

Their conversation certainly didn't escape those in the car. Booth was a little brought off short. He was enlightened from the exchange, but he was smart enough not to ask any questions.

To Booth, the relationship between Davon and the fake patriarch and their schemes were none of his business. But when he heard that Phoenix was with Samuel, he cast a glance at her with an unreadable expression.

Karina had been watching Booth. She couldn't help but feel jealous when noticing that Booth kept staring at Phoenix.

She tugged at Booth, which startled the man a little. Then Booth smiled at her and stroked her head as if he was comforting a pet. He asked with a grin, "Are you cold?"

Karina was wearing thin clothes. It was winter, and the place they were was much colder than City B. That was why he asked.

Karina turned around and ignored him.

Why was Booth looked at every woman with such a significant expression?

Wasn't Princess Inez taken by Davon?

What? Booth was interested in her, too?

At the thought of it, Karina took a peek at the sleeping princess. She was quite beautiful.

Despite herself, Karina touched her own face.

She was indeed not very pretty. Besides, she was disabled. No wonder Booth always wanted to land his gaze on other girls.

The realization dampened Karina's mood a little.
