Chapter 377 Mommy, I don’t want it


    Leo watches Alyssa leave the office and can’t help but admire Luke’s observation.


    Alyssa is beautiful and her short hair shows that she is very capable.


    ire quit when Leo was seriously ill. Luke’s promotion of this woman in that difficult situation shows


    her ability.


    So Leo is relieved to leave it to her. He devotes himself to his work.


    ire and Leo y for several days. After Leo goes to work, she is not used to it. It’s like she’s facing a


    very serious separation.


    Conan is not like that. ording to him, he doesn’t have to be ignored atst. So after Leo goes to


    work, he stays in his room and ysputer all day.


    Leo specially prepares a high-endputer for him, so Conan, the hacker, is deeply attracted by it.


    Conan is essentially an otaku.


    ire shakes Conan’s shoulder every time he ysputer games or makes some interesting


    program.


    “Conan, do you want to eat anything? Mommy will cook for you.”


    Conan doesn’t look back and his eyes shine because they reflect the light from theputer screen.


    “How about braised elbows?” ire tilts her head and looks at Conan expectantly.


    Conan quickly edits code that ire doesn’t understand and responds to ire casually.


    “No, Mommy, I don’t want it.”


    ire doesn’t want to give up. Several new dishese to her mind and she chooses one of them.


    ire smiles tteringly. “Conan, do you want to eat braised meatballs?”


    Conan is a little impatient. He frowns and says, “Mommy, please.”


    “Then boiled fish slices. I promise you will definitely like it...”


    ire is like andy who can’t sell her dishes, but Conan, the customer, has no desire to eat.


    And the reason is simple. It’s not because of ire’s poor cooking, it’s because...


    “Mommy!”


    Conan nces at ire and raises his watch and says, “dear mommy, we had lunch two hours ago.


    Do you think I’m a pig?”


    ire looks at the watch incredulously and says in surprise, “but I feel so long.”


    Conan shakes his head helplessly and says, “Mommy, you’re bored. Don’t you want to go shopping or


    have some afternoon tea with Aunt Kate?”


    ire replies seriously, “shopping? We have been shopping a lot these days. I can’t disturb Kate these


    days.”


    ire has a sly smile on her face.


    ire wants Kate and Luke to be alone.


    “But you can’t disturb me.” Conan says angrily, “I haven’t seen such an dependent Mommy.”


    ire’s been rejected.


    ire puts her head on Conan’s shoulder.


    She says, “hey, doesn’t my son like me?”


    Conan doesn’t care about ire’s problems at all. He replies gravely, “yes, I don’t like you, Mommy.”


    Conan pouts andins, “you had a good time with Daddy the other day and ignored me. Now you


    disturb me because Daddy’s gone.”


    “Women are really fickle.” Conan continues coding.


    ire hits Conan on the head and says, “you wanted us to make up. Do you regret it now?”


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “...”


    It makes sense. Conan thinks and says, “you can go to thepany and find Daddy. I think you miss


    Daddy. Go ahead.”


    ire has this n in mind, but she can’t tell her son. She asks tentatively, “really? Can you stay at


    home by yourself?”


    Conan puts the big headphones on his little head. Without looking back, he says, “I beg you to do so.”


    ire smiles and hits Conan in the head again. Then she goes back to the room and is ready to dress


    up.


    ire is going to thepany so she can’t dress casually. She is wearing a white shirt and a ck


    skirt. She looks like she is working as a secretary.


    ire puts on light make-up, but she does it several times before she is satisfied. Then she goes


    straight to Howard Group.


    Last time Howard Group had a crisis, so many positions changed, but most people still know ire.


    Even if they don’t know her before, they have a certain understanding of ire for some reason


    recently.


    ire feels a little unusual as soon as she enters thepany, because she finds that there are many


    people in the hall staring at her andughing at her from time to time.


    ire’s a little upset. She thinks she just feels wrong, but when she goes to Leo’s office, she sees


    someone whispering and even pointing at her not far away.


    ire doesn’t know what those people say, but she can foretell that it’s definitely not a good thing.


    ...


    ire sees a short haired woman on her way to Leo’s office. The woman catches ire’s attention


    because she looks smart and she seems to say ire’s name when she speaks to others.


    ire thinks that the eyes of those people have made her a little nervous before, so she doesn’t care.


    The short haired woman is talking to other staff. She looks serious. They may be talking about work.


    ire rxes and continues toward Leo’s office.


    Then the short haired woman suddenly turns around and says to ire, “Miss Bet? Are you


    looking for President Howard?”


    ire nods and thinks she used to work for thepany. She asks awkwardly, “hello. Who are you?”


    The short haired woman smiles and says clearly, “my name is Alyssa. I’m President Howard’s secretary


    for the time being.”


    For the time being?
