Chapter 1426


    The family of three entered the restaurant.


    Although Leonardo was not a regr visitor here, he was influential in Ice city. Therefore, when they


    entered, the restaurant manager took the initiative to greet them.


    The restaurant was built halfway up the peak. It was for members only, and guests had to book a


    seat in advance. There was a sense of luxury everywhere, and the guests were all distinguished.


    M''s family background was not ordinary. She used to go in and out here frequently, so she did not


    feel restrained. The restaurant seemed to have been renovated, which made her feel a little


    strange.


    The restaurant manager took them to the top floor.


    There was only one private room and a gazebo outside. Standing here, one could overlook the


    entire city, including the running river at the foot of the mountain.


    The lights were bright outside, and the restaurant was slightly dimmed. On each table, there were


    two lighted white candles, which made the atmosphere romantic.


    M suddenly remembered what Charley


    had said.


    For some reason, she felt like she was on a date.


    In particr, the bottle of red roses on the table made her heart beat fast.


    The restaurant was western style, with different menus nned by its chefs every day. Leonardo


    only ordered a bottle of red wine.


    The waiter quickly served the steak.


    Leonardo was very careful. He took over his daughter''s te and cut the steak into pieces with


    knives and forks. In this way, it was not only convenient for her to eat, but also could make her chew


    slowly.

    Holly, who was sitting on the children''s seat, looked at him, eyes sparkling. She worshipped and


    relied on him very much now. "Thank you, Dad!"


    Leonardo smiled and his heart was about to melt.


    He handed her the steak and touched her head with his big hand.


    Then, a te of cut steak suddenly appeared in front of him, which was prettier than the steak he


    had just cut.


    M held the white porcin te in her hand and said with a smile, "You''ve been working all day.


    It''s very tiring. Eat quickly!" Leonardo looked at the steak in front of him, just like the bottle of water


    she handed him when they were in the amusement park.


    A different feeling rippled in his heart.


    The experience of having a meal on the top floor was very good. Next to them was the gazebo and


    the night sky was filled with stars.


    Leonardo asked her, "How is the taste?"


    M tasted very seriously and answered, "It''s still delicious!"


    Holding the small fork, Holly smiled and echoed, "I also think it''s delicious!"


    M picked up the wine ss and said sincerely, "Leonardo, thank you!"


    Leonardo''s eyebrows raised. She thanked him softly, which made him feel childish joy.


    He had now taken the position of president and was in charge of the whole Schain''s Group. Most of


    the time, he could not show his emotions. Over time, he became more and more mature and


    steady, but seldom showed his happiness or anger.


    Just like her, Leonardo raised his red wine ss and sipped elegantly. "The view here is very good.


    After we finish eating, we can drink while enjoying the night scenery!"


    "Yes!" M smiled.


    They ate very slowly for dinner. After dinner, they went to the gazebo to enjoy the night


    view.


    After all, Holly was a child. After enjoying the night view for a while, she felt bored and ran back to


    the sofa in the private ronm. There were dolls for children there. She was having fun.


    As Leonardo said, the vision here was very good.


    Looking down from the mountain, she could see the neon everywhere, and the night was


    picturesque.


    M stood in front of the railing, holding a red wine ss. She could not help but sigh. "So


    beautiful!"


    She hade to this restaurant more than once, but she had never eaten on the top floor, let alone


    enjoying the night view.


    Leonardo didn''t look at the night scene, but at her.


    She had a pair of clear and bright eyes, and the neon lights of the whole city at the foot of the


    mountain were reflected in her eyes, shining brightly.


    The evening breeze blew a few strands of her hair.


    M was not a stunning beauty at first nce, but her facial features were very delicate. In


    particr, at this moment, there seemed to be a faint pink on her face, which added a charm on her,


    making people unable to look away from her.


    Leonardo nodded. "Yes, so beautiful!"


    The night scene was so beautiful. They clinked red wine sses in their hands lightly, making a


    crisp sound.


    Leonardo pondered for two seconds and said, "M, tell me about what happened after Holly was


    born!"


    Hearing this, M looked at her daughter, who was busy changing the doll''s clothes, through the


    floor-to-ceiling window.


    She thought for a moment and said slowly, "She is very good! When I was pregnant, I didn''t feel


    ufortable at all. After she was born, she was not so naughty as other children. She seldom


    cried. As long as she was full, she would smile at you! She is very smart. She could call mom when


    she was only seven months old. When she was a year old, she could already walk..."


    M tried her best to share the process of her daughter''s growth in her mind with him.


    After hearing that, Leonardo asked, "What about you?"


    "What?" M didn''t understand.


    Leonardo said, "Wasn''t it hard for you to raise her alone?"


    M was stunned.


    She didn''t expect him to ask this. She thought he wanted to know the process of his daughter''s


    growth.


    "It was hard!" M nodded and said truthfully, "After all, I was alone abroad. It was okay when I was


    pregnant. Later, Holly was born. It was the first time for me to be a mother. I had no experience at


    all. I even cried twice secretly!"


    But after she shed tears, she quickly stopped, because someone said that she didn''t look good


    when she cried.


    M only said that in her heart.


    She smiled at him and said, "But Holly is too good. I went back to the hospital to work when she


    was six months old and hired a nanny to take care of her. The nanny said that it was very easy to


    take care of her! It''s really hard for a single mother to make momey. Fortunately, we have made it.


    With Holly''spany, I don''t feel tired at all!"


    Leonardo said in a low voice, "Sorry!"


    Although she said those words lightly, he could tell how hard it was.


    He was indeed very angry about what happened that year, but it was undeniable that it was not


    easy for her to raise a child alone. She was a young woman who brought up her daughter alone,


    and she did not have anyone to rely on in the foreignnd. She needed to make money to support


    the family and take care of her daughter.


    M shook her head. "I should have apologized to you. I cheated you and robbed you of your right


    to be a father!"


    "No!" Leonardo sighed and said seriously, "I am a man, and the fault is still on me. If I had not been


    drunk that night, there would not have been an ident, and you would not have been pregnant at


    such a young age!"


    Seeing him frown, M could not helpforting him. "In fact, it''s not that hard. Leonardo, you don''t


    have to me yourself. Although I didn''t know anyone abroad, there were many people from the


    same country helping me. And Charley has always taken care of us!"


    Leonardo''s face was slightly livid. "Can you not mention him?"


    "Why?" M didn''t understand.


    Leonardo''s mouth twitched twice.


    Because he was an eyesore!
