Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 610

Shannon turned around and saw Leah, who was holding a slightly larger infant spirit, drifting quickly toward her.

She had an expression of heart-wrenching sorrow and resentment as if Shannon were a heartless man who'd just abandoned her.

Shannon felt her temples throb painfully when hearing her call out like that. What mother and child? They weren't even from the same era.

"Shannon, we've signed a binding contract. How could you just leave us behind?"

Due to Shannon's request, Leah had started calling her by her name. It was only after she returned to the Jensen residence yesterday that she found out that Shannon had another infant spirit.

It seemed to Leah that this was the reason why Shannon avoided adopting her. But to the former, there was no difference between having one spirit or two.

Fortunately, Leah and the infant spirit hit it off instantly. She'd even fed the infant spirit a little bit of negative energy to help it grow.

Leah hadn't had the chance to be a woman in her previous life, let alone a mother. Nurturing this infant spirit felt like a way to make up for that lost opportunity.

Shannon had no idea what Leah was thinking and explained, "I'm going to the mystic school. No malevolent forces are allowed, and that includes phantom helpers."

Plus, Leah wasn't someone who'd stay quietly inside an instrument. If she happened to sneak out for a stroll in the middle of the night in the mountains, she might get vanquished on the spot if she got spotted by a lecturer or student.

Seeing Leah and the infant spirit looking at her with puppy-dog eyes, Shannon thought about it and said, "Well, I can take you with me. Since the Cooper residence is next door to the Jensen residence, I won't feel comfortable leaving you home alone…"

Before she could finish, the two ghastly figures swiftly floated some distance away from her.

Leah cradled the infant spirit and floated elegantly in the air, waving goodbye with a smile. "Don't you worry about us, Shannon. Focus on your studies. I'll take good care of the house."

Shannon was utterly speechless. She waved them off, reminding them to stay in the room and not wander around spreading negative energy that might affect the Jensens.

She wasn't concerned about the possibility of them disturbing Benjamin. She'd placed restrictions on Leah when they'd signed their binding contract to ensure the latter wouldn't cause any trouble.

Leaving Leah in the Jensen residence could help the infant spirit grow stronger and keep an eye on Cecily.
