Chapter 186
Rosalind thought. “Kevin is so sensitive. He must have been thinking about it all night.”
Kevin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his mother’s words. Even if no one saw it in the darkness,
the expression on his face relaxed.
Kevin also noticed that Leonardo and his mother seemed to be getting along better these days, but he
was afraid of his mother getting hurt again.
Since Leonardo could only put his mother in danger, he was not qualified to be with her.
Kevin thought Rosalind woukl blame him for forbidding Leonardo from entering their home. After all, he
heard that his mother used to love his father very much. To his surprise, his mother did not blame him
at all. Tears welled up in his eyes. His heart was at ease now.
“Mom, I just want you to be safe and sound. Don’t get sick or hurt. I don’t like anyone who will hurt you
or put you in danger,” he said.
Leonardo was one of them who could hurt or endanger his mother.
Rosalind didn’t expect Kevin to think so. She felt a little bit guilty and distressed
Kevin and Yanna must have been frightened when they learned that she was kidnapped. Otherwise,
how could such a young
child think so?
Rosalind stroke Kevin’s head, feeling his soft hair. She felt warm in her heart.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
It was a difficult decision for Rosalind. But she knew Leonardo had done well without her for the past
five years. But she couldn’t live without Kevin and Yanna.
Rosalind quickly got her life back on track. She no longer worked as a design consultant at Brooks
Group. Rosalind went to BUT Group every day. After that, Kevin and Yanno never allowed Leonardo to

It made Leonardo very annoyed and irritable.
He hadn’t spoken to Rosalind in days. He still had the opportunity to meet her, but she had been
avoiding him and had refused to speak to him.
Not to mention doing something else.
Jacob noticed Leonardo had been dazed for the entire afternoon while rolling the pen in his hand in
Brooks Group and he was kind of worried about his boss
“Mr. Brooks, are you okay?”
Leonardo had not been himself since he was discharged from the hospital. He was distracted in
several meetings and disinterested in his job. Jacob didn’t know what was wrong with his boss,
Hearing Jacob’s voice, Leonardo raised his eyebrows at Jacob. Then he withdrew his gaze and
ignored him.
Jacob felt a little embarrassed.
But thinking of his purpose today, he called Leonardo again.
“Mr. Brooks, I-I want to take an animal leave.”
This was Jacob’s first Life taking an annual leave since joining Brooks Group. He was still a little
nervous, so he gently placed. the annual leave letter in front of Leonardo, fearing that Leonardo would
be unhappy and tear it up.
Leonardo glanced at Jacob again. He didn’t ignore him this time but picked up the letter curiously.
“Annual leave? For what?” he asked, absent-mind.
Leonardo was curious why Jacobs, a workaholic, wanted to take an al leave.
Jacob smiled with embarrassment.
“My girlfriend and I are going to meet each other’s parents. Wesake City is our hometown, so we’re
returning together.” Leonardo’s eyes suddenly widened. Jacob had only been dating his girlfriend for a
short time. Were they going to meet each other’s parents? So fast?
“Are you planning to get married?”
Lenardo asked curiously, straightening his back.
Jacob smiled shyly and folded his hands in front of him. He rubbed his hands together, and his ears
and face began to flush

“If both of our parents agree during this meeting, wwe may get married soon,” he said.
Jacob looked a little silly at ordinary times. When it came to getting married, his expression couldn’t
hide his joy at all.
Leonardo didn’t want to admit it, but he felt cuvious and even jealous of Jacob, who was smiling like a
fool.
He had known Rosalind for so many years, but they had never got married. He had no idea when the
day would come.
He would smile like a fool when his dream came true. He didn’t care even if he was laughed at by
others.
“Okay, As a reward for your good behavior, I’ll approve it.”
Leonardo picked up the pen and signed his name.
When Leonardo was about to hand the letter to Jacob, he suddenly withdrew in
Jacob’s heart ski pped a beat. Was Leonardo going back on his word? His face turned pale with fear.
“Mr. Brooks…
His tone was tinged with grievance and pity. It looked as if Leonardo was a bad boss for not granting
his request to leave.
“I have a question. OK. I’ll give you the letter if you answer to my satisfaction,” he said.
Hearing Leonardo’s words, Jacob was not happy. He thought Leonardo was trying to make things
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtough for him by deducting his annual leave.
“Yeah, please!”
He said in a tone of disappointment.
Leonardo coughed awkwardly, asked Jacob to get close, and asked in a low voice, “What will you do if
your girlfriend ignores you?
Jacob previously thought Leonardo was going to ask an important, so he listened intently and focused
his attention. He
wanted to give him the best answer, so Leonardo wouldn’t have a reason to deny his request for leave.
However, Jacob didn’t expect Leonardo to ask him this question. His jaw dropped.
But soon Jacobs understood why Leonardo asked this question, thinking he hadn’t seen Leonardo and
Rosalind together in a while and Leonardo had something on his mind all day.
It was very likely that Leonardo was unhappy because he quarreled with Rosalind and Rosalind had
given him the cold shoulder.
Thinking of this, Jacob suddenly felt confident.
“Mr. Brooks, I’ve taught you before. Women couldn’t deny infatuated mer. Besides, not only men like
coquettish women. Sometimes, women like guys who can act coquettish. It’s a useful method for men.
Otherwise, why do so many strong women have a thing for the young?”
Leonardo questioned whether it would work.
Leonardo felt a little disbelieved, but on second thought, it made sense. He handed Jacob the letter
and asked again, “You are so silly. Why did your girlfriend agree to marry you?”
Jacob didn’t look smart Leonardo couldn’t figure out why Jacob’s girlfriend wanted to marry him.
However, Leonardo’s words were like an icy draft through Jacob’s heart.
Jacob felt confused. Hixgirlfriend praised him for his samartriess and looked at him with affection every
day. Only Leonardo thought that Jar was silly. He felt that Leonardo was incapable of appreciating
others.
