Chapter 34
Jealous
After they finished their discussion, Vivian led them up to the 42nd floor and pointed out half of the space to be used as an office for the investment project. “You guys think of the decoration style yourself and give me the drawings and budget.” Vivian’s straightforward style once again shocked a few people.
Behind her, Andy was already used to it. Other people took a few days to complete a task, but Vivian could complete a few things in a day!
After settling the two important matters, Vivian felt that the days passed by very quickly. It was time to pick up the children from school.
The school gate was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars. Vivian’s car was not eye-catching, but it was one of the few parents who came to pick up their child in person.
As soon as Frank and Leon went out, they saw Vivian. Seeing this scene, although Leon did not show it on his face, he was a little proud.
“Aunt Vivian!” Frank greeted him loudly with a smile.
Vivian followed the voice and immediately responded with a smile, “Hello, Frank.”
Frank said dejectedly, “Sigh, I want to say that I’m envious of Leon every day. I’m alone at home again today. My parents are on business trips again.”
When Vivian heard this, she immediately invited him, “Then come to our house for dinner today. You’re a good friend of Leon’s, so you can come and take him to play in the future.”
Vivian felt that she had put in a lot of effort so that Leon could have a healthy and happy childhood! She would not let go of any opportunity to win over his classmates.
Leon didn’t want anyone to get between him and his mother, but when he heard Vivian say ‘our house’, he felt very happy. He thought that although Frank was a little noisy, he wasn’t annoying, so he didn’t say anything.
Frank immediately agreed to the invitation and asked the driver waiting next to him to pick him up later.
Dinner was sumptuous. There was bacon and asparagus omelet, steak, black pepper beef pasta, vegetable salad, and a creamy mushroom soup. As Leon liked sweet food, the last dish would be a dessert that Vivian made when she was free.
“Auntie, your cooking is too delicious!” Frank’s praises were all over Vivian as if they were free.
Vivian was amused. This Frank was a cheerful person.
Leon looked at this happy and harmonious scene with some disappointment. He felt like an outsider at this moment.
After dinner, Frank went home. When Vivian saw that Leon was about to return to his room, she quickly called out to him.
When they were almost done with their meal, Vivian could feel that Leon was in low spirits.
Vivian’s principle was that if there were problems that could not be accumulated, they had to be solved on the spot! She pulled Leon’s arm to sit on the sofa and patiently consoled him. “Mom feels like you’re a little unhappy.”
Leon squeezed out a smile. “I’m not unhappy.”
Vivian knew that she wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him, so she thought about what had happened tonight. She found out what happened before and after his emotions went down and immediately understood that he was jealous!
Although he would be a sinister and cunning villain with a high IQ who would do anything to achieve his goals in the future, he was still a 14-year-old child now.
Vivian looked at Leon with a smile. “Do you know why mom invited Frank to our house for dinner?”
“You like him,” said Leon sullenly.
Vivian continued to guide him, “Then why do I like him?”
Leon was silent. Vivian asked again, and Leon’s lips moved a few times before he replied, “Because he will make you happy.”
Vivian furrowed her brows slightly and looked at Leon. “That’s just a small reason. You didn’t mention the most important reason.”
Vivian looked at Leon’s puzzled expression and slowly said, “Because he’s the first classmate my son made in school. I’m nice to him and I’m happy to talk to him because of you. He’s the only classmate you’re close to now, so Mom likes him because his existence can make you not be alone in school.”
Looking at Leon’s black and shiny eyes, Vivian continued, “You don’t need to hide your emotions and thoughts in front of me. Just like just now, don’t laugh if you’re in a bad mood. Leon, just be yourself!”
These words made Leon’s nose a little sour, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
