Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 9

Chapter 1796: A Nightmare

Mother Manoban picked her words carefully and told Jennie, "That woman was the same as you. She was an actress."

Jennie frowned slightly and started to understand why the two of them would have such a huge prejudice towards actresses.

"Actually, Leo wasn't as cold as Lisa. Leo was much more active. While he would sometimes go quiet and become focused when he saw something that interested him, most of the time he was pretty lively. Don't get me started on how sweet his tongue was..."

Just as she was narrating with a gentle expression, her face soon turned glum. "Although we've been protecting him well, Leo matured much earlier than others. When he was a little older, he then realized he was different. He knew that he was different from other children as he didn't have a mother..."

Jennie's heart clenched when she heard her words.

"Leo kept on asking about it in the beginning. However, probably because we looked uneasy every time he asked, and with him being really observant, he stopped asking. But anyhow, he did mind.

"With Lisa's personality, he wasn't a person who'd take care of a child, plus at that time, he was really busy with work and frequently went overseas. The love Leo received from his parents was very little."

She let out a long sigh. "At this moment, that woman suddenly came up to us and said that she was Leo's biological mother..."

Jennie looked surprised. "Leo's biological mother..."

She nodded. "Yes, that girl looked really pure and beautiful. She seemed pretty simple. She gave us a really detailed walkthrough of what had happened back then. She said that with her identity, she's surely not worthy of marrying into the family, but if she kept the child, her career would be over. Out of choices, she sent Leo to the Manoban family. She said she really missed Leo over the years, which was why she came to us.

"Leo was so young and very protected by us. Being the kind child that he is, in addition to his desire to have a mother, he went head over heels for the girl at first sight.

"As for Lisa, he was really elusive about what happened that night. We did not dare to mention anything about it in front of him. Moreover, he didn't know who the girl was himself, so we asked Jisoo.

"Jisoo said that this girl was indeed one of the girls he arranged for Lisa. Since Leo liked her so much and they got along well, we believed her words almost instantly!"

"Then... what happened?" Jennie felt like she could not take the suspense anymore as she thought about Leo's experience.

She closed her eyes as if she was in pain. "Afterwards... it was a nightmare! That girl was so skilled at acting and that she won us over in a short amount of time, especially Leo!

"Leo's grandfather and I were thinking that since Leo liked her so much, her career and family status didn't matter. As long as Leo liked her and she was from a clean family, it wasn't a problem for Lisa to marry her, even if Lisa didn't want to. We already planned to have her stay in the family to keep Leo company. Who'd have known that after some time, Lisa might change his mind?"
