    1 turned around and smiled when I saw Leo’s flushed face. So what? If you think you are a joke, well,


    you deserve it. Experience must be bought, right? Be nicer to others from now on. Don’t push people


    into the corner just because they refuse to work with you. How do you feel now shooting yourself in the


    foot?”


    “Don’t think you can talk to me like that just because you had two kids with ke…”


    “Leo, is everyone in the royal family as unreasonable and condescending as you are?” | raised my


    eyebrows and talked back a little unhappily.


    Leo was stunned!


    I didn’t bother to talk to him anymore. I wanted to go to the kitchen to grab something to eat.


    “You… You have to apologize to me. You knew the truth, yet you still watched me make a fool of myself


    yesterday.”


    Leo caught up with me and said so.


    I opened up the fridge and took a look. There were a lot of fresh ingredients inside. Dowen might have


    gone out on an errand right now. He was not at home.


    I decided to make some roasted chicken with herbs and seafood pasta for myself. I pretended to ignore


    the man behind me who was using me angrily.


    The more I ignored Leo, the angrier he became. However, he did not dare to do anything to me. He


    could only re at me while his face turned red with anger.


    I found him so unreasonable.


    I didn’t think I did anything wrong. I had a reason not to tell the truth yesterday.


    “Mommy… Who is he? I have never seen him before.” Just as Leo could not calm down whatsoever,


    he heard a childish voice sounding from behind.


    It was Hedwig. She woke up. She must have realized that I was not by her side and came downstairs.


    Leo turned around and saw Hedwig behind him.


    Hedwig’s hair was messy, and her face was delicate and cute. She was wearing a creamy-white


    pajama with patterns of cows on it. She looked so lovely.


    Leo stared at Hedwig, and she stared back at him.


    I walked over immediately. “Hedwig, why did you get downstairs with so little on? You are still sick Do


    you know that?”


    “Mommy, my fever is gone. I’m not sick anymore. So, I don’t want to take medicine anymore.” When


    Hedwig heard that she was sick, the first thing she thought of was that she might have to take


    medicine. Her face was full of frustration.


    Iforted her gently, “Fine. Just put on more clothes. You won’t have to take medicine unless you feel


    sick OK?”


    “Mommy, you haven’t told me who he is yet. He is so handsome!” Hedwig sized Leo up.


    Just as I was about to introduce him, Leo had already squatted down and looked at Hedwig. His face


    was gloomy back then, but now he smiled. “Hey there, what is your name? I am your uncle, for real!”


    “For real? Mommy, could there be a fake uncle?” Hedwig did not understand.


    I immediately replied, “He is your daddy’s younger brother, your uncle. You can call him Leo from now


    on.”


    “What’s the name of my niece?” asked Leo, turning to me.


    “My name is Hedwig! Leo, are you here to see me? Did you bring me a gift?” Hedwig, thought that Leo


    was here because she was sick


    Leo was slightly stunned and looked at me, asking for help.


    i knew exactly why he came, and he definitely didn’t bring any gifts.


    “Hedwig, Leo came in a hurry today and didn’t have time to prepare a gift for you. I’ll ask him to make it


    up to you next time, OK?” Iforted Hedwig.


    Hedwigpromised easily. She immediately nodded and said, “Well, Leo, be sure to bring me a gift


    the next time youe to visit me. I will also send you a gift in return.”


    “OK. Promise. I will bring you lots of gifts the next time Ie here,” Leo answered with a smile.


    “And a gift for Noah too. He’s my brother!” Hedwig did not forget about Noah.


    Leo nodded.


    I stood up with Hedwig in my arms. “Mommy will take you upstairs to change.”


    “Leo, don’t leave yet. I’ll take you to see my friend Chestnutter.” Hedwig was carried upstairs by me,


    and she still wanted Leo to stay.


    “Who is Chestnut?” Leo was in a daze.


    “Chestnut is Chestnut. It’s very cute. Wait here! I’ll take you to it in a while,” Hedwig said happily.


    A few minutester, Hedwig changed into a princess dress. With two ponytails, she hopped downstairs


    happily.


    I went downstairs and said to Hedwig, “Hedwig, do you want some seafood pasta?”


    “Yes! Mommy, you can go ahead and eat first. I’ll take Leo to see Chestnut.” As soon as Hedwig


    finished speaking, she


    ran to Leo, grabbed one of his fingers, and tried to pull him away. “Leo,e with me.”


    Leo nced at me, asking me with his eyes who Chestnut was.


    I smiled without saying anything, letting him find out on his own.


    Hedwig was a good-time girl.


    They went back after about half an hour. As soon as they walked into the parlor, Leo copsed on the


    sofa.


    Hedwig was also worn out. I took a towel and wiped her sweat. Then I was about to feed her some


    pasta.


    All of a sudden, I saw Leo lying on the sofa. I kindly asked him, “Hey, do you want some pasta?”


    “Is there any for me?” Leo sat up immediately.


    “Yes. If you want some, juste here.”


    Leo slowly walked over. “She never gets tired! I am exhausted from running, and she hasn’t had


    enough! I am starving.”
