Chapter 156 What if he’s your son?
Leo finishes his bread and asks Claire to make him coffee.
Claire couldn’t help complaining. Where are you, my son? Mommy is here to serve this nasty man every day. I am so depressed!
Meanwhile, the office door is knocked.
“Come in.” Leo thinks Claire is back after making coffee, but when he looks up, he sees Luke standing at the door, “Why are you here?”
Luke raises his eyebrows and jokes, “What? Are you unhappy to see me?”
He says, walking toward the sofa and sitting down.
Leo doesn’t answer, and continues his work without saying a word. Luke knows Leo very well. When he doesn’t want to talk about the topic, he wouldn't say it even if someone pries his mouth open.
Luke relaxes, looks around, and suddenly curiously says, “Why don’t I see your enthusiastic secretary assistant today? I remember when I used to come here, she has already prepared coffee for me.”
“I have changed my secretary.” Leo says slowly. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Is it? I doesn’t notice when I came in...” Then, Luke looks at Leo who only has his job in his eyes, and asks, “You and Tracy have been engaged for so long. When will you get married?
When he says that, Luke remembers the kid in his house, Conan, and his mother, Claire. After all these years, does Leo still not remember her? !
Hearing the words, Leo is a little surprised. He stops working, rubbing his eyebrows with his hands, and says tiredly, “Why do you mention this? Tracy keeps asking me in my ears recently. I’m annoyed.”
Luke smiles. He looks at Leo and says, “After all, she has been waiting for you for so many years. You really don’t make a plan for your future?”
Leo gets up from his chair, walks to the small refrigerator in the office, takes out two bottles of beer, and gives one to Luke. He sits down on the sofa opposite him and says, “If I really want to say anything, then my plan is to disengage her!”
“What?” Luke is surprised, so he hurriedly puts down the beer in his hand, “Leo, you know, the company was able to recover thanks to the help of Tracy’s father back then. If you break your engagement, you just dismantle the bridge immediately after crossing the river.”
“I know.” Leo says in a low voice. He suddenly pours the beer into his mouth. Then he looks at the table and says nothing more.
At that time, because of the car accident, he almost died and was unconscious. The company fell into crisis, encountered double suppression by the business community and underworld, and was almost wiped out.
Thinking of it, he doesn’t seem to be so embarrassed in his life. When he got better, he resumed his career. At that time Tracy’s father appeared to help his company run again, so he was engaged to Tracy.
But even so, he has not had sex with Tracy since his engagement.
On the one hand, he is not interested in Tracy. On the other hand, he wants to break off his engagement because he always has the image of an incomplete woman in his mind that he couldn’t catch for any reason.
Thinking of this, Leo takes another sip of beer.
Luke looks at him in silence, thoughtful for a moment. Then he thinks of Conan in his house, and then asks Leo in a low voice, “Well, It’s been six years. Do you remember anything from your lost memory?”
Leo gives Luke a puzzled glance and replies, “No, why do you suddenly ask that?”
“It is all right.” Luke knows that in his mind and he has a smile on his face, “It does not matter if you can’t remember. Let that memory go away. Maybe it is a good thing!”
Leo frowns and loses his thoughts. If it wasn’t for the sudden appearance of the little boy yesterday, he might not have remembered the memory six years ago.
It is just that little boy...
“Luke, six years ago, did I have a woman?”
“Ah...” Luke is surprise, and then says, “No... No. Why do you ask that?”
In spite of the slightest qualms in his heart, Luke’s face doesn’t show anything. “I have told you everything that happened in those years. Do you need me to repeat it?”
Leo trusts Luke very much. He nods slightly but he couldn’t help asking, “Yesterday a little boy came here, and he actually said I was his daddy... and he was five years old. The time is just right...”
Sure enough, Leo asks him!
Luke has been prepared before he came. Conan came out of his office just yesterday and must have confessed his identity, but he couldn’t tell Leo the whole story.
Leo has a blood clot in his brain that could go wrong any minute. He doesn’t want to stimulate his memory. He is more afraid he will have another accident.
Luke pretends to be surprised and asks curiously, “ A little boy? Five years old? Who is he? Why did he come to you?”
“I don’t know.” Leo shakes his head, recalling the conversation with Conan, whispers, “He said his name is Conan and his mother’s name is Claire... Do you know that?”
Luke has already prepared the answer. He immediately bursts into laughter and shakes his head, “what Claire? I have never heard of this name. Maybe the woman who admires you deliberately arranges a little guy to approach you.”
“Is that right? But his eyes are very similar to mine.” Leo falls into yesterday’s memory again.
“Even if his eyes are very similar to yours, what does that mean? I, as your best friend for years, have not heard of this woman named Claire!” Luke pretends to be indifferent. He looks down at his watch and says positively, “We need to stop talking. I still have other things and need to leave now.”
“okay.” Leo replies casually, and Luke makes sense. If even his best friend doesn’t know it, then probably this thing is a fake.
With that in his mind, the problem is solved, and Leo feels relaxed.
Luke is about to leave. Just before he is about to open the door, he suddenly thinking of something. He turns to Leo and asks gravely, “Leo, what would you do if that little boy were really your son? After all, you are now engaged, will you abandon him and his mom?”
