"You just said you..." Jennie pointed at Lisa and was eagerly hoping to hear a refutation from him to confirm what she had heard was just her own hallucination.
Lisa was unhappy. He frowned as if he was not satisfied with Jennie's surprised look. Why was she so surprised when he showed his affection for her?
"I said, I am courting you."
"Courting me? Lisa, do you have a few screws loose in your head? Courting me?" Jennie looked like she had just heard the greatest joke on Earth.
Lisa's expression turned black. All his life, this was his first time pursuing someone so intently, only to be turned down in the end!
Just as he was about to explain himself, Jennie's expression turned fierce. A sharp look appeared in her eyes, and there was also a trace of bone-chilling firmness and resolution in them as she abruptly met his gaze.
"Did you forget who was the one who abandoned Leo and me in the first place? What do you want now by doing all these tricks? Is there something you want from Leo and me? Or do you regret it now? You think that the Manoban Family should have a rightful heir and so, you want to bring back Leo, right?"
Leo buried himself in Jennie's arms. Upon hearing Jennie's words, his face turned pale. He tightened his arms around Jennie's neck, just like a koala bear holding tightly onto Jennie, as if she was the last straw for him to hold onto from falling into the abyss.
"No! No! Mommy, don't leave me... I want to stay with you... I don't want others! I don't want others... Mommy, don't leave me... I'll be a good boy, I'll be a good boy..."
Leo's abrupt shouts startled the two who were in the midst of an argument, especially Jennie. She never thought her sarcastic remarks to Lisa had triggered her precious son's sensitive emotions.
Jennie felt her rhythm being thrown off by Leo's cries. She glared at Lisa, then urgently lowered her head to comfort Leo, "Good boy, Leo, good boy. I didn't say that I didn't want you. I love you more than anything else. How could I not want you, Leo? Good boy, don't cry. You don't look cute when you cry."
"Mommy, I want you, I only want you..." The child was utterly terrified this time. He sniffed. His eyes were red and he grabbed the cloth on Jennie's shoulders with his small hands, not letting go even if it costed his life. His teary face showed that he had grown very attached to Jennie.
Jennie's heart melted when she saw his current appearance. At that moment, she seemed to have totally forgotten about the man standing before her. She lowered her head and kissed Leo's chubby cheeks while saying all sorts of comforting words.
When he saw how intimate the mother-son pair were and how it was impossible for anyone to get between them, Lisa's heart was a little moved. Without knowing what he had in his mind, he subconsciously raised his hand and reached out to Leo in Jennie's arms.
"What are you doing?!" Jennie questioned Lisa in a fit of rage. He was immediately snapped out of his daze, and his already outstretched hand froze mid-air; it was just a few centimeters away from Leo.
"Mommy..." Leo's eyes were clearly filled with fear. He unwittingly moved closer into Jennie's arms and leaned against her body.
Jennie appeared wary. She hugged her child tightly in her arms and instinctively took a few steps back. She was grim-faced and looked as if she would go all out to fight him if Lisa so much as dared to take one step closer to them.
When Lisa looked at the mother-son pair who perceived him as some kind of monster, a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes. He said bitterly, "I-I... I just wanted to touch him."
How hilarious was that? Leo was clearly his own flesh and blood. His son had grown up so much, yet he had never touched him, much less hugged him...
A hint of puzzlement flashed in Jennie's eyes. She thought to herself. 'Could my guess be true? The man's target is actually... Leo?!'
As Jennie thought of this, Jennie's hostility toward Lisa deepened. She could give whatever Lisa wanted except for Leo.
Leo was her life. If Lisa wanted him, he must go over her dead body!
"You don't have to pretend to be nice. Leo was doing fine without a father before. likewise, he doesn't need an unnecessary father in the future!"
Jennie was merciless in her words. Lisa's face turned pale. He wanted to say something, but something seemed to have stuck in his throat, and he could not find himself saying a single word.
By the time Xia Zhetao arrived in a hurry with the huge bouquet, he was greeted by the awkward atmosphere between the two.
He pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Mighty Secretary Xia had a lot of experience attending various banquets, and he keenly sensed that there was something unusual. Upon watching the sight before him, he was immediately enlightened.
'The president has very low emotional intelligence. He must have said something that provoked the former Mrs. President! Tsk, tsk, tsk... It's time for me to make a grand entrance and save the day!'
Mighty Secretary Xia discreetly felt smug about himself and without saying a word, he dashed over to the front of Jennie and stuffed the heavy bouquet between the two. He grinned as he said, "Former... Ms. Kim, President Manoban has bought 99 roses for you. He personally picked the flowers for you in the flower shop just now. Look, how beautiful it is!"
Xia Zhetao thought all women were driven by emotions. No matter how angry she was, the moment she was given such a huge bouquet of roses filled with an air of romanticism, her towering rage would subside within an instant and be gone forever.
Sadly, unbeknownst to him, the woman before him was unfortunately out of this range.
Jennie swept a glance at the roses in Xia Zhetao's hand in disdain. Then, she turned back and looked at Lisa. She sneered. "I don't care what's the purpose of currying favor with me by sending flowers daily. I just want to tell you that if you ever have the thought of taking Leo back to the Manoban Family, I won't let you!"
'W-What's going on?!' Xia Zhetao was taken aback by Jennie's sudden outburst.
Lisa's eyes sparkled. He opened his mouth as if he was about to defend himself. But Jennie interrupted him once again.
"Lisa, don't forget that you have given up on Leo by signing the agreement yourself. Leo has nothing to do with you now. Regardless of whether you regret it, please don't come to bother us in the future! Remarry me? Let me tell you, if you want to remarry me, you must first please my son. Otherwise, forget about it. Leo cries each time he sees your stoic face, much less think about staying under the same roof in the future. In addition, if I remember correctly, you still have Ms. Rosé, right? Ms. Rosé is pregnant with your child now. So, please at least get your acting done properly. Handle her first before you want to talk about remarrying me!"
'W-What...?! The president has a mistress on the side?! Moreover, the mistress is already pregnant with his child?! No way! This is way too much!' He needed some time to calm himself.
