Chapter 399
L—eo William was tasting the wine. A pair of unfathomable eyes, however, locked onto the bashful
and enchanting little thing without him noticing.
He was actually able to see through her eyes and her smile.
However, when Belle Ann brought her to greet the elders, when she passed by him, she shifted her
gaze away.
Mary Ann did not dare to look at him but when she saw the man turn his gaze away from her, she
immediately felt a little disappointed.
Maybe, Leo William was not happy about her appearance.
Mary Ann was abination of contradictory objects. For a young girl like her, she loved to let her
imagination and emotions run wild. Maybe it was just a look, or maybe it was just a movement but it
could make her mood turn from clear to gloomy and eventually into a storm.
Leo William shifted his gaze. Mary Ann could feel it, he must really hate her.
Belle Ann greeted the elders first, then chatted happily with others along the way.
In the end, Belle Ann''s gaze naturallynded on Leo William and she quickly pulled her daughter''s
hand, "Mary,e over here and let me introduce to you. This is your uncle, Leo William! He''s
younger than Mom, so if you see him in the future, just call him Little Uncle!"
Kinship?
Mary Ann only felt her body tremble as a cold feeling rose from the bottom of her feet.
Leo William''s brows also twitched, maybe, this was the final rtionship between him and Mary
Ann.
"Uncle!" As a member of the younger generation, Leo William naturally had to speak of seniority.
However, the expression on his face was a little stiff and awkward.
Belle Ann said with a face full of smiles: "Leo, judging from your high - spirited face, it seems like
you have earned quite a lot recently!"
Leo William''s gaze was intentionally or unintentionally fixed on the head lowered Mary Ann who had
a negative air on her face, as he answered absent-mindedly: "No!"
Belle Ann suddenly realized that her daughter was just like a strawman, she did not even call him
when she met him. In an instant, Belle Ann became slightly angry and pushed her out, "Mary, what''s
wrong with you, talk to your uncle!"
Mary Ann''s dizzy absence of mind was immediately cleared up by her mother. She looked up and
met Leo William''s unfathomable eyes.
"Uncle!" Her voice was low enough that only she could hear it, like the buzz of a mosquito.
Leo William''s thin lips curled into a line. His sharp eyes stared straight at the girl''s head that was still
lowered.
Belle Ann immediatelyughed: "Don''t mind her. My daughter is shy, timid andcking of manners.
When the timees, I will definitely teach her a good lesson."
Leo William only smiled, but this smile contained too much information.
"It''s a bit stuffy in here, I''ll go out for a walk!" Leo William did not want to face Belle Ann and he was
so afraid that he did not dare face him.
"That''s right, the air - conditioning in here seems to be too big!" Belle Ann said.
Leo William put down the cup in his hand, ignoring Mary Ann''s pitiful and sorrowful eyes, he walked
slowly towards the garden.
Belle Ann looked down at his daughter and immediately scolded: "Look at you, you don''t even know
how to socialize. You''ve made your uncle unhappy!"
"Mom, why do I have to call him uncle? He''s not my real uncle and we''re not rted by blood, so I
don''t want to call him uncle in the future!" Mary Ann instantly expressed her dissatisfaction and
opinion.

Although he and you are not blood rted but ording to the fact, you have to call him uncle! If
you don''t call him uncle, what do you want to call him? It''s not too appropriate to call him brother.
He''s already so much older than you!" Belle Ann said to herself.
"I want to call him by his name!" Mary Ann muttered.
"What?" Call him by name? "No, you can''t call him by his name!" Belle Ann immediately scolded her
daughter: "Mom still has a lot of work to do with him. He''s a big customer of ourpany, you
better follow the rules and don''t anger him again, understand?"
"Mom, I''ve told you long ago that I don''t want to get involved with your business. What business do
you have with him? It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I just don''t call him Little Uncle!" Mary Ann
also had her own perseverance.
"You have the same personality as your dad, yet you''re so stubborn like him. Are you really going to
piss me off?" Belle Ann had always been strict when teaching her daughter and Mary Ann had
always been a sensible and obedient girl. However, this time, Belle Ann realized that her daughter''s
stubbornness gave her a headache.
"I can promise you other things but I must not call him uncle!" After Mary Ann said firmly and then,
she turned around and left.
"You ... "You are such a unfilial daughter, if you don''t call her that, others would think that our
education isn''t good enough!" The reason why Belle Ann ced such importance on home tutoring
was because she was a single mother and was extremely afraid of others gossiping, hence she had
strictly taught her daughter to be a good girl ever since she was young. After all, she could be
considered as a CEO of herpany now.
Mary Ann walked towards the garden angrily, but right when she reached the door, she bumped into
someone.
"Ouch!" Because she was so angry that Mary Ann walked fiercely and with that strike, she directly
bumped into the others’ embrace, which really hurt her head.
"Why are you following me?" The man''s cold words crashed into his ears.
Mary Ann suddenly raised her head and saw Leo William''s ice face, which had never changed for
ten thousand years. Her entire person was in a bit of a daze.
"I... "I did not!" Mary Ann really didn''t want to crash into his arms on purpose, nor did she want to
follow him. It''s just that she was in a bad mood and needed to find a ce to stay in peace for a
while.
"You are still lying?" Seeing her blushing and gasping for breath, Leo William couldn''t help but
ridicule her with his cold lips.
"I really don''t!" Mary Ann''s eyes immediately became misty, and felt that she was wronged.
Leo William had originally wanted to give her an ugly expression, but when he saw the mist rising in
her eyes, he instantly felt that he can'' t hold his icy mask any longer.
"Come with me, I have something to say!" Leo William threw these words down and turned to walk
away.
Mary Ann immediately followed him to an empty little garden. She could not help but ask curiously:
"What are you going to say to me?"
"Before you ask me, shouldn''t you add an address?" Leo William suddenly turned around, and
stared at her eyes that were filled with anticipation with his gaze. "Shouldn''t you call me Uncle?"
Mary Ann instantly had a kind of negative feeling. Her pure white teeth bit her lower red lip tightly
and after a long while, she huffily said: "Why should I call you uncle? I won''t do it!"
"Heh, you''re still very stubborn?" Leo William thought that she would obediently call him uncle but
he never expected that she actually didn''t.
