After drinking her milk, Annie didn't linger and left directly, as bothering Leo would make him unhappy.
She wasn't looking to mend the mother-son relationship with Leo; all she wanted was for Leo not to hate her. Thinking about the way Leo looked at her before made her very sad.
"Your mother must have been very beautiful when she was young."
Holly praised, nestled entirely in Leo's arms.
Annie was the kind of woman who exuded grace in every gesture; despite her age, she maintained herself exceptionally well, hinting that she was a great beauty in her youth.
"The title of Arkenfall's first beauty in those days was not bestowed in vain."
When it came to Annie, Leo didn't feel much emotional fluctuation. Without personal interaction, any level of blood relation is meaningless.
Moreover, the title he gave Annie since childhood was a heartless person; he was indifferent to her.
