Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 9

Chapter 1676: Sorry, Mommy

However, Lisa had been accumulating power for so long after all. They were not Chongming who had been exiled and abandoned to despair or Song Lin who was all alone in the world. They did not have the nerves of Chi Chengkai and Liang Deyun to change sides at this moment. The fate of those traitors five years ago was still fresh in their memories. This dilemma put them in a sufferable entanglement.

Sigh, things like an illegitimate child were the main culprit of bringing chaos to rich and powerful families. Even the Manoban family could not escape it...

In the blink of an eye, it was already the sixth day.

It was the weekend. Mother Manoban had already planned the day before for the entire family to go to the temple for prayers.

Initially, she wanted to call Jisoo and Lisa along too, but with the condition of the company. The two of them were incredibly busy as they ran around. They definitely would not have the time and as their elders, they could help with carrying out such spiritual obligations.

These past few days, Leo had recovered well. When Father Manoban heard that she had gone to the Guan residence and that Diana would come along for the weekend, he felt much calmer.

The sun shone brightly outside the window. The weather was pretty good today and it was a suitable day for a trip out.

Early in the morning, Mother Manoban had woken up to get ready. She had particularly ordered the kitchen to prepare vegetarian dishes.

Diana had arrived very early too. She was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Leo, who did not deliberately make things difficult for her either, but it was clear that he was acting distant.

When she walked out from the kitchen and saw Leo's eyes looking outside fixated, she asked suspiciously, "Leo, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing," said Leo as he retrieved his gaze.

When all the preparations were done, the elders, and Diana, left the house together with Leo.

After they left, Leo pursed his thin lips and looked in the distance far away. He seemed upset. When the elders asked him questions, the little guy was obviously distracted.

When they were about to get into the car, there was suddenly a screech like a car braking. A white race car had drifted to stop outside the old residence.

Very soon, a girl quickly pushed open the door to get down from the car, then she ran worriedly towards Leo, quickly bringing him into her embrace. "Leo!"

"Mommy!" When the little guy saw Jennie, his face which had been tense the entire morning instantly blossomed with a huge smile.

Jennie sized him up carefully, then there was a suspicion across her face. "Baby, where are you hurting? Where do you feel ill?"

Leo blinked a little guiltily. He looked down and said softly, "Mommy, sorry... Leo lied to you... Leo is fine... not hurting anywhere... not feeling ill anywhere either..."

"It's okay if you're fine. It's okay..." Jennie's first reaction was to puff out a sigh of relief, then she had the remaining energy to study the three people behind Leo with different expressions on all of their faces.

One look and Jennie could already guess why Leo had lied for her to come over.

Leo held onto Jennie's hand tightly. He walked up to the elders. He said, "Grandfather, you promised me. You taught me that men must keep their word!"

When he saw that Jennie had unexpectedly come over today to disrupt things, he was filled with anger, yet Leo's few words suddenly made him tongue-tied.

He did promise Lisa to give Jennie a chance, but how did Leo know about this?

That punk! He only knew how to use Leo against him!

His brows furrowed. He looked at his dearest grandson's determined expression, knowing that if he was too tough, he would definitely hurt Leo. He was afraid that today's matter had fallen through too. Besides, it was inauspicious to delay praying for blessings.
