Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 636

Just as Lillian was about to decline the call, Leonard glanced over and recognized the number immediately.

“My mom? How did she get your number?”

At his words, Lillian was completely taken aback.

“What? Your mother’s phone number?”

Lillian remembered that she had once shared a meal at the same table with Leonard’s parents.

But at that time, her relationship with Leonard was just a simple business partnership between an investor and a collaborator.

Things were different now.

She had no idea why Leonard’s mother was calling her. What if she wanted to talk about her relationship with Leonard? That…

She had never felt insecure about the fact that she was divorced with a child, now dating Leonard who had never been married.

But she knew that others might view her situation differently.

Lillian looked at Leonard, a hint of panic in her eyes.

Leonard immediately reassured her. “My parents have their ways; it’s not hard for them to find someone’s contact information.

But don’t worry, my mother is very reasonable.

You’re my uncle’s student. She won’t give you a hard time.”

Lillian nodded. It would be rude not to answer after letting it ring for so long, so she quickly picked up the phone.

“Hello, this is Lillian.”

Her speech was calm and steady, her tone polite.

A similarly refined and courteous voice came from the other end of the line.

Lillian was completely confused. She couldn't make sense of Mrs. Prescott's fragmented sentences.

What on earth was she trying to say?

Before she could figure it out, Mrs. Prescott continued, “Regarding… that side of things… Ms. Mercer, please be considerate. It’s best… well, you know, between a man and a woman… it’s best to take it easy. Leonard’s health… you understand, right?”

As soon as Mrs. Prescott finished, Lillian’s face instantly flushed a deep crimson.

Her cheeks were burning!

A moment ago, she had been worried that Leonard’s parents might look down on her because of her past.

She wondered if they would try to stop her from being with Leonard.

But she never expected this. There was no disapproval, no judgment.
