Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 287 - A Tacit Understanding Filled With Misunderstanding

Jennie's attempt to hide him was of course ridiculous and unreasonable. She even wondered why she was doing this when she could have easily exposed everything. But because of the sudden appearance of Lisa being thrusted into their lives after three years of separation made things a bit rushed.

Initially, Jennie wanted to take things slowly and let the father and son bond together. But with them being so overly possessive over her, she was afraid that either will become territorial that they would even view each other as rivals.

As funny and absurd that notion was, Jennie knew better that this would end with another two rivals facing each other in the battlefield with her being the prize at the end.

However, Jennie's plans that worked so well to others seemed to not have any effect when it comes to her son.

Leo entered the room as soon as Jennie took a step back from the closet. His brown eyes glanced at her silently before he smiled, "Mommy is home?"

Jennie walked to him and patted his head, "Yes, mommy had something to do this morning."

"Oh? Then, mommy, do you want to play with me?"

Jennie agreed quickly, "Sure! What do you want to play?"

Leo's lips lifted into a smile as he replied, "Hide and sheek. We're playing hide and seek. So, Mommy hash to be the one to find us."

Jennie listened to him and felt that something was wrong, but seeing her son's eager eyes staring at her, she didn't have the heart to say no to him. So, in the end, she was pushed back by her son outside of the room and told her to count to a hundred when she reached downstairs.

Jennie looked up at the staircase leading upstairs and sighed.

"One…Two…Three…—"

"Fifty-six… Fifty-seven…"

Jennie faithfully and patiently counted up to a hundred, leaning her body against the railings of the stairs before sweeping her gaze around the living room. When she was about to count one hundred, she never thought that something unexpected and most definitely not planned happened.

…

A few minutes earlier.

Leo came running atop the stairs as soon as he heard Jennie counting. He excitedly skipped two steps at a time and when he finally reached the third floor, he stopped and looked around the doors on each side of the wall.

He contemplated seriously and adorably where he would hide. All of the hiding places in this house has been used by him while playing hide and seek with Mommy and Auntie Rosé.

Mommy will easily find me! Leo worriedly thought.

Then, he suddenly remembered that Mommy's room has been off-limit.

It was the perfect hiding place!

But… where could A'Yu be hiding now? Mommy can't find him right?

Leo thought of another worrying matter. Last time, his mother warned him to not talk to strangers and don't let anyone inside the house without her permission.

"Oh no, Mommy should not see A'Yu!" Leo was most afraid of being spanked on his butt! He cannot allow his mother to find out that he let another person inside the house.

But little did he know that Jennie, the person he was most afraid of finding out that he let someone inside the house, was also hiding 'someone' in the closet. The mother and son pair seemed to have reached a certain point of tacit understanding filled with misunderstanding.
