Husband plans to kill me Chapter 333

I was caught off guard by Royce's suggestion. I didn't expect him to give me advice like this.

Just yesterday, I met with Leo and Briar. If I called them now to discuss things, they would definitely get suspicious!

Thinking about this, I explained the details of yesterday's meeting to him.

I also mentioned that I had clearly told Leo that they were guests, and our relationship wouldn't be as close as it used to be when we were family.

Royce chuckled at my words and said, "You don't need to overthink this."

I looked at him, still puzzled.

So much had happened today, my mind was a mess, and I couldn't think straight.

I looked at Royce seriously and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Royce's gentle smile remained, and after a moment, he ruffled my hair.

His gesture was affectionate, with a hint of indulgence.

Royce said, "Caroline, if he came to you to gather information, he definitely wants to meet you again and find out more! Don't you think that if you just put out the bait, he'll take it?"

"But..."

I had made it clear yesterday. Would they really be willing to meet and talk to me again?

Royce shrugged, "If he doesn't want to, then use the kids as an excuse to arrange another outing."

"But my plan for a spring picnic with the kids includes my friends. Wouldn't it be awkward to invite Leo? All my friends are women, and Leo might feel uncomfortable."

Royce smiled, but his expression suddenly turned serious, "If that's the case, leave this task to me. I'll talk to Leo and see if I can gather some information from him."

I was even more surprised, "Will he be willing to talk to you?"

"Why not? You might not know, but my company has been in contact with his recently."

Only then did I realize what Royce had been busy with lately!

He had been quietly laying the groundwork, connecting with various companies to expand his business. But it wasn't just about making money; it was also to help me gather information.

I couldn't help but feel touched, "You really do everything quietly, making big moves!"

"I've always said, no matter what difficulties you face, I'll be there with you. These are things I need to help you solve." Royce said seriously, "So please, don't say things like we have no future or hope in front of me anymore, okay?"

He had been bringing this up for the past couple of days, and I felt a bit embarrassed, "I only said it twice! How come you remember it and keep bringing it up..."

"Because it really hurt me when I heard those words. I felt like you were denying me."

Royce held my hand, "Maybe you don't realize how important you are to me. You mean more to me than anything. I hope we don't separate again because of misunderstandings."

Our actions in our youth might have been influenced by many considerations about the future, which was why things ended inconclusively.

But now, after all these years, we had reunited, and we were both certain that the other was the one we had been looking for.

I couldn't help but hug him, "I promise I won't say those things anymore."

"That's good." Royce patted my back. "If you can still contact Leo, I suggest you find some time to talk."

I nodded, taking his advice to heart.

Although I didn't know what Royce's plan was, I just needed to follow his instructions.

But speaking of which, I had another idea. "If Leo and Renee really fall out in the future, and they don't want Briar, can I take Briar in too..."

But I already have four kids at home. Would adopting another one be too much?

Royce chuckled, "Are you planning to open a daycare at home?"

I glared at him, "I'm just considering it for now. But honestly, I don't think Leo would easily give up his child... Renee must have been neglecting the family all these years. If even Leo, who takes care of Briar every day, doesn't want her, then Briar would be too pitiful."

Despite saying this, I wanted to prepare for the worst. "Regardless, Briar is still a young child. I hope she can have a better future."

Royce agreed. "I also think he wouldn't give up Briar. You're probably overthinking this. But there's one thing we need to seriously consider, and that is whether Leo is working for Renee."

We still didn't know the truth behind the bug Briar had installed in our house.

If we didn't talk to Leo properly, we might never get any clues or breakthroughs.

Unexpectedly, while I was still struggling with this issue, Leo called the next day.

Seeing his name on the caller ID, I tensed up.

I remembered what Royce had told me yesterday.

Was this the breakthrough we had been waiting for?

With that thought, I steadied myself, trying to sound normal, and answered the call, "Hello? Leo?"

"Caroline. I brought Briar back today, and I wanted to explain some things we talked about during that dinner." Leo's initiative caught me off guard.

"Go ahead." I tried to keep my tone neutral, not showing any emotion.

After all, since he came to talk to me, I couldn't appear too eager, or he might use it against me.

Leo quickly said, "Here's the thing, I remember what you said that day, and I've thought about it seriously. I understand why you have issues with our family now. After all, you and Brandon are divorced, and the Jordan family did some terrible things that hurt you. Now that you're finally starting a new life, I understand your desire to cut ties with the past..."

I said, "You've hit the nail on the head. That's exactly how I feel."
