116 A Warm Man

Simon walked into the living room a little cautiously. Although he didn’t look around, he could see the furnishings from the corner of his eye. He knew that the Leon family was much better than he had imagined. At least, he had never seen a better house than this so far. Even he and Frank had to get the owner’s permission before they could enter the community and then drive them to the front door.

Simon’s hands were sweating from nervousness, and he kept rubbing his pants. When he saw Vivian get up, he quickly greeted her, “Hello, Auntie.”

Vivian noticed Simon’s little gesture and replied with a smile, “Simon, welcome to our house. It’s your first time here, so you’re not used to it, right? You’ll be familiar with Frank after you come here often. Hurry and sit down. I’ll cut some fruit for you.”

Vivian pressed Simon’s shoulder and sat him down on the sofa. When Leon heard this, he came forward and said, “Mom, sit down. Don’t tire yourself out. I’ll go cut it.”

Vivian was worried that Leon didn’t interact much with people of the same age. She quickly stopped him and pulled him to the sofa. “How can I be tired from such a small matter? I’ll be in the kitchen. I’ll call you if I need anything.”

Seeing this, Leon did not insist. “Call me if there’s anything. Be careful with your knife.”

Vivian smiled and agreed.

Simon and Frank didn’t expect Leon to have such a considerate and warm side. Was this still the cold and ruthless iceberg in school?

Watching Vivian’s back as she entered the kitchen, Leon deliberately changed to a seat where he could see the kitchen.

Frank clicked his tongue and teased, “Leon, oh, Leon, if the girls at school knew about your current state, I’m afraid that you would receive two times more love letters!”

Leon glared at Frank. “Take the photos.”

After placing the fruits on the table, Vivian also joined in the conversation. The two of them saw how Leon’s face changed again, instantly changing from a big boss to a warm and obedient baby.

Vivian saw that there were more than 20 photo frames on the table, which were in the way. “I’ll go get a ladder to hang the photos. You guys talk first.”

“I’ll do it!” terrified, Leon quickly stopped him. “Don’t climb the ladder. It’ll be troublesome if you fall!”

“I’ll just ask them to help,” said Leon, pointing to Simon and Frank, who were eating fruit happily.

The two people who were suddenly called looked up and looked at Leon in a daze.

Simon quickly reacted. “Yes, Auntie, we’re boys. This kind of climbing up and down the ladder should be done by us.”

Frank nodded his head vigorously. “That’s right. You don’t have to worry about this.”

Vivian saw that the place to hang it was not very high. She thought that it would be good for a boy to exercise, so she agreed. “Alright, be careful. It’s almost noon. I’ll make something delicious for you.”

Leon thought of another reason to stop her. “Mom, you can direct them to hang the photos. I’ll go cook.”

“I’m just pregnant,” Vivian said with a helpless smile. “Cooking won’t tire me out.”

Leon knew that Vivian would definitely be unwilling just to sit and watch them work, so he subconsciously wanted to arrange the easiest work for her.

Leon had no choice but to turn to Simon and Frank. “Didn’t you say you wanted to eat my cooking?”

Vivian was less than four months pregnant, but because of the twins, her belly had begun to bulge a little. Frank and Simon had only thought Vivian was a little fat last time and had never thought that she would be pregnant.

When the two of them saw the fake smile on Leon’s face, they were so frightened that they nodded repeatedly. “Auntie, we’ve already agreed to find a chance to try Leon’s cooking.”

Vivian didn’t see the expression on Leon’s face and believed him. She was secretly happy that Leon had a good relationship with his classmates. “Sure, Leon will be in charge of lunch.”

Leon moved a ladder from the storage room on the first floor to the living room, and both sides worked together according to the division of labor.

They had to nail the wall to hang the photos, and they had to move the position constantly. When Leon brought the dishes to the table, the three of them finished the photo wall.

Leon looked at the photo on the wall and suddenly felt that the two of them had come at a good time. He greeted them with a faint smile, “Hurry up and eat.”

Simon and Frank had opened their mouths with the intention of eating dark cuisine, but they didn’t expect that it would be so delicious that their eyes lit up and their faces showed surprise.

Vivian saw their fearless expressions before they ate and smiled. “Leon’s cooking skills are much better than you think!”
