Chapter 160: White Lies

“I?”

Colleen Wynn’s tone was somewhat surprised, but more curious.

“Yes, he asked me to take good care of his daughter, a girl named Colleen Wynn…”

“That’s you.”

Having said this, Leon paused, looked at the girl’s somewhat confused face, and continued to fabricate a white lie: “But, before I can find you, you are missing!”

“After my investigation, I found news about you…”

Under Leon’s explanation of avoiding the important, the whole story becomes:

In order to make a promise with a friend, he did not hesitate to sneak into the base camp of a cult organization to search for evidence, and joined the police to manage the criminal gang together, and finally rescued the friend’s daughter.

Colleen Wynn, who has not been involved in the world, was deeply attracted by Lyon’s touching story, and believed most of it unconsciously in his heart.

In her opinion, there is nothing worthy of the other party to approach herself.

Besides, At the moment, homeless, she can rely on, only the brown-haired man in front of her, who smiles very nicely…

Just when the girl was lost in thought, Leon broke the silence again and said softly, “Colin, can I call you Corin?”

Colleen Wen was taken aback, and nodded invisibly: “Yeah.”

“It’s a bit late, why don’t you take your things first and come home with me?”

Family?

This familiar and unfamiliar word caused Colleen Win to meet Leon’s blue eyes.

From those eyes, all she saw was a deep sense of sincerity and friendliness.

“Um.”

Seeing Colleen Wen nodding, Leon couldn’t help showing a kind smile.

“Hey! Officer!”

Leon called the female police officer who had brought Colleen Wen over and asked her to accompany the girl to get the luggage, while he stood there waiting for them.

Seeing Colleen Wen’s back, Leon let out a long breath and whispered in a low voice:

“Finally passed…”

Lying, for an agent that has performed multiple latent tasks, it should have been a very easy task.

Sometimes, to deal with the enemy;

More often, it was to prevent Corvo from worrying.

Those lies intended for the good of the other party are generally called “white lies”

However, when facing the simple girl Colleen Wynn, Leon’s “white lies” felt a little hard to tell.

After all, fooling a middle-aged hairline uncle and an ignorant Loli are completely different concepts…

Throwing away the mixed thoughts in his head, Leon quickly saw Colleen Wynn who was back in the square accompanied by a female police officer.

A small pink suitcase, and a handful of pure white Katana-these are all the belongings of the “kendo girl” Colleen Wen.

“Eh? This is?” Although she had known that the girl had been studying kendo and martial arts with her grandfather before, Leon still pretended to be surprised, pointed to Katana and asked.

“Oh, this is a famous knife handed down from my grandfather’s family, called “Luoying”!”

Looking at the girl’s slightly proud face, Leon didn’t ask much, and nodded: “This way…”

“Then let’s go!”

Taking the suitcase from Colleen Wynn, Leon led the girl very naturally and left the place where she had only stayed for three days…

Riding a yellow taxi through the busy street, Lyon and Colleen Wynn quickly stood in front of the apartment.

“This is it!”

As soon as the voice fell, Leon picked up the suitcase, took a step ahead, and walked towards the apartment.

Colleen Wynn looked up at the two-story single-family apartment building, hesitation, followed behind, and stepped into the apartment.

“Squeak…squeak…”

Stepping on the wooden stairs, Leon and Colleen Wyn came to the door of the apartment.

“Wait a mininute.”

After speaking, Leon squatted down under the girl’s puzzled gaze, opened the carpet at the door, took out a brass key, and opened the door of the apartment.

After pushing the door open, Leon saw Colleen Wen’s somewhat surprised expression, couldn’t help but smile, and explained: “I don’t like to go out with the key…”

Not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, Leon just revealed the key storage location of his apartment to Colleen Wynn, who met for the first time.

And Colleen Wynn, who noticed this, also warmed her heart.

It’s so good to be trusted…

Turning on the light in the living room, Leon put the suitcase aside, and walked straight to the kitchen.

Only the somewhat restrained Colleen Wynn, standing in the living room, looked around with curious eyes.

Before long, Leon took two glasses of fresh orange juice and came to the living room.

“What are you doing standing there? You’re welcome, just treat it as your own home.” While talking, Leon passed the orange juice in his hand, “Aside from beer, this is the only thing left at home. I don’t know if you like it or not… ”

Looking at the orange juice in her hand, the girl glanced at Lyon, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, and nodded slightly: “I can do it.”

Holding the orange juice, Colleen Wen took a sip and put it on the coffee table.

Silence fell suddenly…

Although there are things like one-night stands, applause for love, Leon did not do anything less.

However, in the face of this girl who is somewhat similar to his sister, Leon does not know where to start…

At this time, the awkward air was gradually broken by the girl’s soft voice:

“I want to know, how did you meet my father?”

It seemed that the girl still had some doubts about the origins of Lyon.

Fortunately, Leon was prepared for such a problem.

“Oh, during a mission, I needed to consult a professional who knows Asian history very well. And it just so happened that your father was a professor of Asian history at Columbia University…”

A lie requires countless lies to round out the lie.

However, as long as it is worthwhile, whether it is thousands of times or tens of thousands of times, Leon will say it!

Perhaps it was the orange juice relationship, or Lyon’s gentle attitude, which gradually opened Colleen Wen’s closed heart.

With the restraint and silence when they first met, the girl let go a lot, and talked more.

“Well, do you live alone?”

“Eh?” Leon was taken aback, then nodded, “Yes, I live alone, what’s wrong?”



“Such a big house, don’t you feel empty?”

In fact, she wants to use the word “lonely” even more…

“Oh, since my parents passed away, I have long been used to a person’s life.”

Hearing Leon mentioned his parents, Colleen Wyn also apologized and said softly: “Sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

“It’s okay, it’s all a long time ago.”

It turns out that he is just like me…

Before she knew it, Colleen Wynn’s gaze at Leon became a lot more relaxed.
