Chapter 738 He Was Being Excluded
Just then, they heard a child’s voice. “Uncle Dick, this is from Mommy.” It was Leonard speaking. He came out holding a small bag containing snacks. Charlie and Dick who had been talking both quieted down upon seeing Leonard.
Dick extended his hand to graciously accept Leonard’s gift, “Thank you.”
Charlie stood silent, watching them. Leonard looks so much like him that when he saw Leonard being polite to Dick, it really bothered him. He thought to himself, ‘This is too much. Leonard is so courteous to Dick. He say anything shouldn’t do that. He’s my son!’ But since Leonard was not quite happy about his arrival, he didn’t to stop Leonard, lest Leonard would like Dick even more.
After giving the bag to Dick, Leonard just stared at Dick and Charlie with his innocent eyes. Although he was a child, he was smart enough to know that Charlie didn’t get along well with Dick. ‘What if they start fighting? If that happens, Mommy would definitely have a headache again, he pondered with a frown. After a while, in order to ease the tension, he asked, “Uncle Dick, are you leaving?”
Dick came round due to Leonard’s question. ‘Yes, Leonard is still here. I can’t fight Charlie. Otherwise, Leonard would be frightened.’ He nodded at Leonard. “I’m leaving. See you, Leonard.” As he spoke, he got into his car and left.
Charlie stared after Dick’s car before his gaze fell on Leonard. He felt like Leonard had helped him just now, but he wasn’t quite sure. He reached out to stroke Leonard’s hair, but Leonard deftly avoided his hand before it touched him. “Well, I guessed wrong. He still dislikes me.
Leonard quickly went inside, ignoring Charlie who followed behind him.
Sitting on the sofa, Theresa was helping Ben trim his nails. When Charlie and Leonard came in, she didn’t say anything.
