Transmigrated: I Became My Nemesis's Woman novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Angry Leo

Leo had never been this upset. Not even when his father hid the truth about finding his mother from him.

But this delay in bringing Ivy back made him furious.

Leo had always been stubborn, but over time, that stubbornness had only grown stronger. It had become increasingly difficult for the staff to understand—or handle—his demands.

And when he had suddenly run away from the mansion earlier without informing anyone...

It only proved how serious he was.

"GO AWAY! I DON’T WANT ANYTHING! I WANT MOMMY!"

Leo grabbed his plushie and slammed it against the door, his small face flushed with anger as tears burned in his eyes.

Outside, Freda and Butler Rupert exchanged helpless looks.

Nothing was working.

Nothing at all.

But then a soft, almost teasing voice drifted from the other side of the door.

"Alright then... if Leo doesn’t want to eat the pudding, I guess I’ll just enjoy it by myself."

Leo froze.

For a second, he thought he had imagined it. But then his eyes widened.

Without another thought, his tiny legs rushed toward the door. He fumbled with the handle before yanking it open in a hurry—

"MOMMY—YOU CAME!"

He threw himself forward, wrapping his arms tightly around Ivy’s legs as if afraid she might disappear again.

The sudden shift left Freda and Butler Rupert completely stunned.

Just moments ago, the young master had been throwing things, refusing to listen and now...

He had calmed down instantly.

Just from her voice.

Freda blinked in disbelief, while Rupert quietly let out a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding.

Ivy looked down at the boy clinging to her, her expression softening almost unconsciously.

"I did," she said gently. "But someone told me he doesn’t want to eat anymore."

Leo immediately shook his head, tightening his grip on her.

"I do! I want to eat! I’ll eat everything!" he said quickly, as if afraid she might leave again.

A faint smile touched Ivy’s lips.

"Hmm... really?" she asked, her tone light. "But I heard someone say he didn’t want anything."

Leo looked up at her, his eyes slightly teary but determined.

"That wasn’t me," he said stubbornly. "That was... angry Leo."

For a moment everyone went silence. And then even Freda couldn’t help but smile.

Ivy crouched down slightly, brushing his hair back.

"Then let’s not let angry Leo win, okay?" she said softly. "Come on. Eat first."

Leo nodded eagerly, still holding onto her hand as if it were the most important thing in the world.

"I’ll eat with you," he insisted.

"Alright," Ivy agreed.

As she led him toward the table, Leo didn’t let go of her for even a second.

Behind them, Freda and Butler Rupert stood frozen for a moment longer.

"It seems... the young master has finally found his weakness." he quitely mumbered

And perhaps his comfort.

After meeting Ivy, Florine returned home and had just settled down when Nora, her daughter, stormed in angrily.
