Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: I hope you won’t disappoint me

The next morning, Ivy was the first to leave the house.

The moment she stepped out for work, the mansion gradually returned to its usual quiet atmosphere.

Inside the dining room, Xander and Leo sat across from each other, calmly having breakfast as though nothing unusual had happened the previous night.

The soft clinking of cutlery echoed faintly through the room while Butler Rupert stood nearby, silently serving them.

Leo took a bite of his toast before lifting his eyes toward his father.

"I hope you don’t disappoint me, Daddy," he suddenly said in a serious tone.

Xander calmly took a sip from his teacup before setting it down.

"Have I ever disappointed you before?" he asked casually.

The moment their eyes met, silence stretched between them.

It was brief, but somehow the father and son seemed to hold an entire conversation without saying another word.

Leo narrowed his eyes slightly before nodding in satisfaction, almost as if he had received the answer he wanted.

Meanwhile, Butler Rupert looked completely lost.

His gaze moved between the two with visible confusion.

He had absolutely no idea what they were talking about.

Before he could even think further, another voice suddenly interrupted the quiet atmosphere.

"Alright, hold on."

Aaron walked into the dining room while fixing the sleeves of his shirt, clearly having arrived much earlier than usual.

Without waiting for permission, he pulled out a chair and sat down beside Leo before stealing a piece of bacon from the plate in front of him.

Leo immediately frowned.

"That’s mine."

"You’re rich enough to buy another one," Aaron replied shamelessly before stuffing it into his mouth.

Then his curious eyes shifted toward Xander and Leo.

"What exactly was that?" he asked suspiciously.

Neither of them answered.

Aaron blinked once. Then twice. His brows slowly furrowed.

"...Okay, no seriously. What was that supposed to mean?"

Still nothing.

Xander continued eating his breakfast with complete calmness while Leo quietly drank his juice as if Aaron didn’t even exist.

Aaron looked personally offended.

"You two definitely said something important just now."

No response.

Aaron pointed his finger between them dramatically.

"This is exactly why people find both of you terrifying. You communicate like secret agents."

Leo calmly looked at him.

"You talk too much in the morning."

Aaron gasped.

"Wow. I wake up early to spend quality time with my family and this is the treatment I get?"

"You came for free breakfast," Xander said flatly.

Aaron instantly clicked his tongue.

"See? This right here is why Ivy pities you sometimes."

Xander finally lifted his eyes toward him.

"Ivy pities me?"

Aaron immediately realized he might have said too much.

Beside him, Leo quietly smirked while eating.

Aaron awkwardly cleared his throat and quickly grabbed a piece of toast.

"That’s not the point here," he muttered.

His suspicious gaze returned to the father-son duo.

"So... are either of you going to explain what that weird conversation was about?"

This time, Leo casually looked at Xander before speaking.

"See? I told you Uncle Aaron would get curious."

Aaron immediately pointed at himself.

"Because I’m normal! Unlike you two!"
