“I don’t have any other woman. I used to date her when I was young and insensible, but later I discovered that we weren’t suitable. After meeting you, I finally realized why I’ve been single for so many years. I’m willing to swear to God that if I lie to you, I’ll be…”
When the woman heard this, she believed him without a doubt. She reached out and covered the man’s mouth, looking at him with a reproachful expression. “Don’t talk nonsense. I believe you, okay?!”
In his heart, Leon thought that he should just strike him to death with a bolt of lightning!
Looking at the man’s behavior, Leon felt nauseated in his heart, and the expression on his face was hard to describe.
As far as he could remember, the number of women this nominal father had been with could not be counted on two hands.
This was what he knew. However, this man had left a few years ago, and after that, who knows how many women he followed in the places he could not see.
The two cuddled and picked out chocolate, making Leon shake his head.
Although his father might not be able to recognize him now, even if he stood in front of him, he did not dare to take the risk.
If this greedy man knew his mother had her own career now, he would definitely stick to her like a dog-skin plaster. This was something he would never allow!
Having lived with Vivian for almost a month, Leon could tell how much his mother valued her career. He must protect his mother well and not let this man destroy the hard-won mother-son relationship.
At this thought, a hint of cruelty flashed in Leon’s eyes.
The man and woman picked for more than ten minutes and finally left the chocolate shop with two boxes of chocolates. Leon followed them, carefully took out his phone, and put it on silent mode.
When Vivian returned to the hotel, she saw a pile of gift boxes of black tea and chocolate at the door. Fortunately, there was a note on the box that said “for Leon”. This prevented Vivian from mistakenly thinking someone had put it in the wrong place and asking someone to clean ithem up.
After opening the door, Vivian moved the things in and called Leon’s name a few times. No one answered, so she called, but no one picked up.
This made Vivian, who was in a good mood, anxious.
After all, they were in a foreign land, unfamiliar with the people and the place, and Leon was still an underaged child. Where could he have run to?
Vivian called a few bodyguards and discovered that Leon didn’t bring any bodyguards. She quickly got people to look for him in the hotel.
After waiting restlessly for almost an hour, Vivian finally saw Leon.
She rushed forward, and while checking to see if Leon was injured, she frowned and loudly reproached, “Where have you been? Why didn’t you bring a bodyguard? Why didn’t you pick up the phone?”
It was the first time that Leon had seen such a stern Vivian. He was stunned for a while before returning to his senses and explaining, “I’m sorry. You’ve been quite busy recently, so I wanted to buy some local products for the factory staff. I accidentally put my phone on silent. I didn’t think buying things was a big deal, so I didn’t bring the bodyguards.”
Leon subconsciously hid the fact he had seen his father. His mother was pregnant, and the company was busy. He wanted to settle the matter himself so that his mother would not be distracted.
When Vivian heard Leon’s considerate action, the anger in her heart dissipated by half. However, she still said with a straight face, “This is the capital. Mom is not familiar with this place. If you go missing, I don’t know where to find you! In the future, you must bring someone with you when you go out. You’re not allowed to go out alone, understand?”
Leon nodded obediently. This kind of Vivian made him feel unfamiliar and at ease at the same time. After being by Vivian’s side for so long, he had always thought she was kind and pleasant, which made him feel a sense of estrangement.
However, Vivian’s angry scolding just now had reduced the sense of estrangement.
Leon looked at Vivian obediently and apologized earnestly, “Mom, I’m sorry. I’ll definitely let you know the next time I go out.”
Vivian looked at Leon with his large eyes, and her heart softened. She pulled him into the living room and called the bodyguards to stop the search.
