Even though Leo had called out very softly, Lisa, including Xia Zhetao who was following behind them heard his words very clearly.
Xia Zhetao widened his eyes and looked at the timid child who was lying obediently on Lisa's shoulder in disbelief.
What had he heard just now? The child had called the president his father? The child who had shunned the president like the plague and ran away the moment he saw him had actually taken the initiative to call him his father!
Oh my god! He must be hallucinating. Yes, it must have been a hallucination!
Lisa was equally as shocked as Xia Zhetao. The moment Leo called him, he had almost immediately paused mid-stride.
He was stunned for some time before he snapped himself out of his daze. He slightly turned his head to the side and looked at the child who was lying on his shoulder with some fear and anticipation since he had called out. He was waiting for his response.
When he saw the hint of cautious desire and expectancy from his son's eyes, Lisa's heart softened.
Without thinking much about it, he had already stretched out his hand and reached Leo's head. He blurted out stiffly, "Mhm, good boy."
The hint of worry and fear in Leo's eyes disappeared right after he heard Lisa's brief reply to him. His eyes sparkled with happiness and he buried himself deeper in Lisa's arms.
Lisa saw all his actions. His cold and hard eyes subconsciously softened and he hugged his son tighter as he walked toward his private car that was not far away from them.
Leo nestled in Lisa's arms for some time before he could not help but look up and peeked at Lisa's well-defined jawline. He remembered Lisa had stroked his head with his huge hands just now.
Leo's face turned red slightly. He looked embarrassed and once again buried his head into his arms in order to hide the uncontrollable spark of Leo in his heart.
'Daddy... Daddy... I not only have Mommy, but I also have Daddy now... I am no longer an abandoned child...
'I have Mommy, Grandpa, Grandma and Great grandpa. Now, I also have Daddy...'
As Leo was thinking this, the smile that arched across his lips only grew wider...
The setting sun shone on the big and small figures who looked incredibly similar to each other. It was a heartwarming and harmonious sight.
Moonbyul had stood afar and watched the sight with Jana, he pouted his lips with incredible disappointment.
He had thought that today he would have the opportunity to watch Lisa make a joke of himself. little did he know that his son was not afraid of Lisa's inborn stoic face that could easily frighten a child and make them burst into tears.
Moonbyul heard very clearly when Leo called Lisa his father. A mixture of envy and jealousy sprouted in his heart at that moment.
He wondered why the lady luck had smiled upon Lisa. Although Lisa was slightly younger than him, he had already gotten a wife and even a child at this age.
On top of that, his son was so adorable and did not look as annoying as him even at the slightest bit.
Had Lisa's annoying, stoic face accidentally saved the entire universe in his previous life?
Moonbyul's irritation intensified as he thought of this. He was completely unaware that the way the mischievous child, whom he was holding to, looked at him had grown increasingly despicable.
Moonbyul heaved a sigh in resignation once again. While he lamented at the fact that comparing oneself to others would only end up with a feeling of defeat, Jana's expression had darkened. The next moment, she looked down, opened her mouth and bit mercilessly at Moonbyul's hand that had been holding onto her.
"Ouch!" Moonbyul screamed and quickly pulled his hand away from Jana's mouth.
"You... You... You... Is your zodiac sign a dog? Why did you bite me all of a sudden?!"
"My zodiac sign is not a dog. Uncle Moonbyul, are you still not sure about this?" Jana grinned as she spoke and revealed her rows of snow-white teeth. Moonbyul was so terrified that he reflexively took a few steps back.
This lass was growing increasingly naughty. If this continued, his position in the Moon family might be at risk. No way, he had to save himself!
"Uncle Moonbyul, don't go thinking that I can't read what's in your mind now. You must be thinking that I'm very naughty in your heart, right?"
Jana sneered and glared at Moonbyul disdainfully before she continued without hesitation, "Someone like you who is reluctant to lend out a helping hand while others' lives are put at stake does not deserve respect from others. I suppose you and the weird middle-aged man who has carried Leo away are of the same gang. That man doesn't look like a nice guy and neither are you. No wonder you still couldn't find a girlfriend even at such an old age. No wonder you still couldn't get a wife now. All this is serving you right! Hmph!"
After Jana finished speaking, she straight away got into her car and left Moonbyul, who had been rendered speechless, stupefied in place.
Moonbyul's lips were parted. He looked at the empty kindergarten entrance and passed another glance at his niece who had dumped him at the side without hesitation. The corners of his lips unwittingly twitched.
Had he... offended someone?
Lisa headed straight to the Kim family's residence right after he picked up Leo. The father-son duo spent some private time together while they were on the way in the back seat.
Although the child still looked a bit restrained and was not entirely at ease, the situation was much better compared to last time when he had avoided and feared him. As such, Xia Zhetao, who was driving in the front seat, heaved a sigh of relief.
By the time Lisa carried Leo and entered through the main entrance of the Kim family's residence, Jennie had already returned home and she was talking to the former master at the living hall.
The moment Lisa stepped in through the main entrance, the former master abruptly rose from the couch. A hint of emotions unusually showed up on the old man's expression who was notable for his intelligence and cunningness in the business arena.
Jennie seemed to have sensed Lisa's arrival. She slightly paused her hand movement which she had used to hold the hot tea. She faked a cough and reminded the old man opposite her who had lost his composure, "Grandpa, calm down. You're so old, yet you still look so startled. People would laugh at you."
"Nonsense. Who would dare to laugh at me..." The former master snorted. Just when he was about to cuss her, he followed the direction of Jennie's gaze and saw Lisa and Leo standing at the main entrance.
He swallowed his resentful words and within a blink of any eye, he resumed his normal grinning and gentle look. He greeted Lisa, "Lisa, it's you who have come. Why are you so free to visit our humble abode today?"
Lisa did not take the former master's question seriously. He took Leo and slowly went up to the grandfather-granddaughter pair. He said politely and respectfully, "Grandpa Kim, nice to meet you. I'm just helping Jennie to send Leo back home."
The former master was stunned. He took a glance at Leo who was in Lisa's arms and another look at Jennie, who had remained quiet. His eyes sparkled and very soon, he almost figured out the entire story.
The corners of his lips slightly curled upward and he teased him, "So, you helped Jennie to pick Leo up. Jennie has been occupied with many issues in the company lately. So, she's very busy. It's good that someone could share her burden."
Upon hearing the former master's words, Lisa's eyes sparkled and he said faintly, "It's my pleasure to share her burden.."
