Chapter 1677: Mommy Only Likes You

As Diana watched the way Leo was so protective over Jennie and had even secretly contacted Jennie, the fingers by her side suddenly turned rigid. She took a deep breath and said in an easy manner, "Uncle, Aunty, just let Jennie come with us! It's okay to have one more person!"

She was completely taking on the tone of a hostess.

Father Manoban's glare at Jennie was filled with warning. "Let's go together then."

He looked towards Leo with love-filled eyes. "Leo, how's this? Of course, Grandfather will keep his promise!"

Leo nodded. Now, he was happy, but then he looked nervously at Jennie, "Mommy, I'm sorry, Leo knows he's wrong. Mommy, is it okay if you come along?"

No matter how the elders, or Diana's attitudes were, Jennie did not care at all. She only cared about Leo.

At that moment, as she looked at the little guy. Jennie was helpless. There was no way she could reject any of her baby's requests. "Okay, Mommy will go with you! But you can't do this again the next time. Do you know how worried I was?"

"Understood, Mommy! Mommy, you're the best!" Leo's coquettish ways were getting to the point of perfection that Jennie could not help but beam at him.

Jennie claiming herself to be his mother was entirely out of habit, yet to Diana's ears, it was a kind of provocation. Her gaze had suddenly turned much colder.

After the short change in plans, the five of them got into the car and drove towards Fahua Temple.

The extra long Lincoln was very spacious. Leo, Jennie and Father Manoban sat on one side, while Diana and Mother Manoban sat opposite them.

Because Jennie had rushed over, she did not manage to disguise herself. Because he knew she would worry about it, Leo had already taken out a mask, a pair of sunglasses, and even a wig from his little bag like he was a Doraemon character.

Jennie did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Naughty little one, you've been planning this in advance!"

"This aspect of being a celebrity is so inconvenient. It's so troublesome to just go out," commented Diana opposite her. She looked as if she did not intentionally mean to complain, but was just reminding Jennie of her profession and identity.

Indeed, the moment she said that, Father Manoban frowned.

"Mmm, it really is troublesome!" The little bun looked serious as he nodded in agreement.

Diana was happy when she heard that. In the next second, she saw Leo shuffle closer into Jennie's embrace and he looked up lamentably to mutter, "I hate that so many people like Mommy! Mommy is mine alone!"

The little guy then winked at his mother to say wordlessly: "Mommy, don't worry. Father isn't here, so I'll protect Mommy on behalf of him!"

Jennie looked at Leo's protective stance and felt moved yet amused. She touched his nose lightly. "So what? No matter how many people like Mommy, Mommy only likes you!"

Leo instantly smiled brighter than the sunshine outside the car window.

Father Manoban snorted on the inside. Those were just flowery but insincere words even though this scene before his eyes was one that he hoped to see the most...

He hoped to see someone to take care of Leo, to talk to him and make him happy...

But why did it have to be this woman of all people?

There were turbulent undercurrents all the way before they finally reached Fahua Temple.

The temple courtyard was covered densely with old trees. It was very peaceful, and one step in could make one feel as if their hearts had settled down.

The last time she came here was when Mino had wanted to become a monk and she had gone over to stop him.

Master Xuan Jing had even told her fortune. At last, he gave her a peach blossom, hinting that she would have romantic misfortunes...
