Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: You face it

After the chaos finally settled down, everyone gradually returned to their assigned work while Sal remained seated in the living area with Ivy and Leo, still shaking his head in disbelief.

"Mommy, what were you trying to do earlier?" Leo finally asked now that he had the chance to question her strange walk.

Sal immediately pressed his lips together, trying hard not to laugh again. But the second Ivy shot him a warning glare, he quickly straightened his expression and pretended to be serious.

Leo waited patiently for his mother’s answer, blinking at her innocently.

"Well..." Ivy cleared her throat awkwardly. "It’s related to a new job your mother is working on."

Leo looked even more confused.

"A job?" he repeated. "Mommy, are you planning to work?"

Ivy slowly nodded.

"Would you be okay with that?" she asked cautiously.

Although Leo knew nothing about the contract she had signed with Xander or the kind of work that practically required her to be available around the clock, the thought still made her nervous.

She did not want him to feel neglected because of it.

Leo, however, looked completely puzzled by her concern.

"Huh? Why wouldn’t I be okay with it?" he asked honestly. "As long as you stop tripping while walking, I’m fine with anything."

Sal instantly choked on his laughter and turned away.

Meanwhile, Ivy stared at her son in disbelief before narrowing her eyes.

"You really are my child," she muttered dramatically.

Leo grinned proudly.

Her worries eased almost instantly, and she smiled before ruffling his hair affectionately.

Sal quietly watched the interaction from the side.

He had already been informed about Ivy’s relationship with Leo, but seeing Raven behave so warmly and naturally around the child still felt oddly amusing to him.

"By the way," Ivy suddenly said, "I need to introduce you to my friend. He’s Uncle Sal."

Leo immediately turned toward the man sitting beside her.

"Hello, Uncle Sal," he greeted politely. "I’m Leo, my mommy’s son."

A strange silence followed.

Ivy looked delighted by the introduction.

Meanwhile, Sal simply stared at the boy for a moment.

This was the first time he had ever seen a child introduce himself like that.

But as he looked closer at Leo’s face, something about the boy suddenly felt familiar.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

’Why does he look familiar?’ he wondered inwardly.

Back when he had been monitoring Xander’s schedule, he had secretly run a background check on everyone around him. To his surprise, there had been almost no information available about Leo anywhere.

At the time, Sal had assumed Xander deliberately kept the child hidden.

But now, seeing Leo smiling innocently in front of him, the fear he once had slowly faded.

’Thank God he doesn’t take after his father,’ Sal sighed internally.

"Uncle Sal, do you know how to play video games?" Leo suddenly asked.

Sal’s eyes immediately lit up with interest.

"Yes," he answered confidently.

Leo’s face brightened at once.

"Really?" he exclaimed excitedly. "Then we should play together sometime. What do you think, Mommy? I’m sure Uncle Aaron would like it too."

The moment Aaron’s name was mentioned, the smile on Ivy’s face twitched slightly.

Sal noticed it instantly but wisely chose not to comment.
