Leigh did not expect to bump into Lawrence in such a place. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, and only the hatred and defence left like a hedgehog.
"Leigh, this is my best friend Lawrence, and he is my future brother-in-law!" Arthur still smiled and didn't notice the weirdness of the atmosphere at all.
"Lawrence, what are you still standing there for? I have informed you in advance to prepare a gift! My son is so handsome, how can I let you look at him for nothing?"
Lawrence stood motionlessly in place and didn’t say a word. His gaze locked tightly on Amelia's face as if he was about to cut a hole in her face.
Lillian responded very quickly. She took out a heavy red envelope from her bag and handed it to Leigh, "Leigh, nice to see you."
Leigh hated Lillian the most, so he didn't want to accept the gift she handed him. But Arthur moved faster than Leigh, grabbed the red envelope, and stuffed it into Leigh's arms.
"Leigh, take it!" Arthur hugged Leigh tightly, "Come on, let's continue to receive red envelopes!"
Patrick and Preston arrived earlier. And when Amelia and the others entered the chamber, they had already been waiting inside.
Arthur had already called them to prepare the red envelopes before. As soon as Leigh entered the chamber, he naturally received two more red envelopes.
Leigh was cute and pleasing, so he won the favour of Preston and Patrick soon. Seeing Leigh was so popular, Arthur felt proud of himself.
Patrick held Leigh for a while and suddenly realized something serious. He slapped Lawrence, who was sitting next to him, as if he had discovered a secret, "Lawrence, do you think Leigh looks very much like Arthur? Arthur, shouldn't Leigh really be your real son? Right?"
If Patrick didn’t say this, others didn’t notice it. But after hearing Patrick’s words, they all realized that Leigh looked like Arthur.
Leigh and Arthur both had lovely baby face, and their nose and mouth looked similar. Although the colors of their eyeballs were different, their eyes and eyebrows were very similar.
Arthur hugged Leigh from Patrick's arms. And he stared at Leigh’s eyes and eyebrows in a daze. Suddenly, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "Ah, you are my real son, you look exactly like me!"
Arthur was so excited. He clutched Amelia's hand and said, "Amelia, I told you, Leigh and I are destined to be father and son!"
Arthur had always been open-minded. He liked Amelia, so even if she married and divorced, and had son, he didn’t mind. But it was a surprise for him that Leigh looked so much like him.
"Yes, you and Leigh really look similar." Amelia stared at the two similar faces in front of her and said in a daze.
Amelia felt that the world was strange sometimes. Leigh didn't look exactly like her, or Lawrence, but looked like Arthur, a man who had no blood relationship with him. No wonder, the first time she saw Arthur, she felt Arthur was familiar because he looked too much like Leigh.
With Amelia's affirmation, Arthur became even cockier. When he saw Lawrence staring at him, he gave Lawrence a defiant stare, "Lawrence, are you envious, jealous, or hate? You can also have a son who looks like you! But you don’t have it right now!"
