Chapter 894 Regaining Memories.
Josie had a very long dream.
Even in her dreams, the torrential rain continued to fall as she sat in the back of a car, a teddy bear in her arms. “Leanne, you can’t cause trouble for your parents when we get to the new place, okay? You have to behave yourself,” the servant beside her reminded.
Lost in thought, she stared out the car window, not hearing a single word.
It was foggy outside as they drove into a massive mansion complex. After taking a turn, the driver suddenly slowed the car down and honked the horn..
“Why is there a child?” he grumbled.
Leanne quickly rolled down the car window, and to her surprise, she saw a boy kneeling in the middle of the road. Not only did he seem to be crying, but he also looked incredibly defiant and aggrieved.
A servant beside him hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to the driver, muttering about an unexpected situation.
Fully aware that the part of the neighborhood was inhabited by the rich and powerful, the driver knew he couldn’t rush them and had no choice but to stop where he was. “We’re in a bit of a hurry, too. When can we get going?”
Still clutching her doll, Leanne suddenly unlocked the car door and hopped out, her eyes filled with curiosity as she stared at the boy.
She found him very handsome, especially with his soft and delicate features. In fact, he might even be mistaken for a girl if it weren’t for his short hair!
Upon sensing a figure approaching him, the boy looked up excitedly. “Mother…”
When he saw the little girl, however, his smile instantly vanished.
Leanne tilted her head in surprise. “What’s wrong? You’ve hurt yourself. Let me help you up.”
Even though the boy’s palm was covered in blood, he glared at her without uttering a word.
Instead of losing her temper, Leanne stayed quietly by his side until he was forcibly dragged
away.
She was only four years old, yet she was already conscious of facial attractiveness and even knew she preferred handsome boys.

Coincidentally, she often saw that little boy afterward. Their homes were only separated by two streets, and they even attended the same school.
She heard some people calling him Dexter while others called him Dex.
Leanne had always been overfamiliar with others, so since she only knew the handsome boy in the new neighborhood, she’d cling to him every day and badger him non-stop.
The boy might always seem annoyed, but deep down, she knew he wasn’t a bad person.
Just like that, she followed him around, calling him “Dex” wherever they went. Time flew by, and soon, he had gone from elementary to middle school.
As the boy grew taller, he gradually stopped minding Leanne following him everywhere. He even started to enjoy her company and willingly played with her.
Over the years, one could say Leanne practically grew up in the Russell family. She’d sleep at her own house but always spent the rest of her time by Dexter’s side.
Henry, too, treated her very well, as if she were his granddaughter.
Fortunately, Leanne relied on Dexter as much as he relied on her.
Although the two of them attended the same renowned school in Wavery, Leanne was still in the sixth grade of elementary school while Dexter had already skipped grades to high school.
There was no doubt that Dexter was a particularly prominent student. He was intelligent and scored the highest among his cohort of more than a thousand students. As such, he was. picked to give the freshman speech on stage on behalf of his fellow schoolmates. With his rich, deep voice and good posture, many girls couldn’t help but whisper about him amongst themselves.
Leanne looked at the familiar figure on stage, unable to control the twitching at the corner of her mouth.
As it turned out, she had been complaining to him throughout their summer vacation. “Why are you the top student in the whole school while I’m the last?”
Now a young man, Dexter beamed with joy and burst out laughing. “It’s because you’re dumb.”
The two of them would go to and from school together every day, and no matter how late classes ended for Dexter, he’d always wait for her.
Needless to say, everyone knew Leanne clung to him like a leech.
Quite a few of his suitors even sent gifts her way, and she accepted them all, happily indulging in the candies till they almost gave her cavities.
