Since Leonardo wanted to join, Anthea naturally welcomed him warmly.
She brought in, asked the servant to add a set of tableware, and then continued dinner.
Schain's Group mainly specialized in the medical field but also had some real estate investments. Because of Anthea and Adam, Leonardo and Emerson knew each other and could talk a lot of business together.
During dinner, the children had been playing hide-and-seek around the dining table all along.
Bunny's twins were only two years old and were still toddlers that needed to be taken care of by babysitters.
Lil Star had always been clingy to Erik.
Wherever Erik went, she followed, with her hands grabbing Erik's clothes. Then they went to Leonardo.
Lil Star said sweetly, revealing her little white teeth, "Uncle Schain, thank you for your gift.
I like it very much."
Her soft voice was like sweet honey.
Leonardo smiled and said, "I am happy that you like it!"
He raised his hand, touched Lil Star's face, and looked at Erik, who was much taller than Lil Star. When he was at Anthea and Adam's wedding, he brought Erik with him when he was drinking. In a flash, Erik had grown so tall.
Staring at the two children, Leonardo looked sad.
With a plate of fruit in her hand, Anthea couldn't help pursing her lips.
She could see that Leonardo must have thought of his child right now.
Anthea handed over a piece of watermelon and tried to distract Leonardo's attention, "I heard that your mom started arranging blind dates for you."
"Yeah!" Leonardo answered impatiently.
When it came to this, he looked a little agitated.
Seeing that, Anthea gloated and said sincerely, "You're not young anymore. You're 29. You'll turn 30 next year. Be careful, or you'll have no one for the rest of your life!"
Leonardo was annoyed, saying, "Anthea, can you not act like a mother?"
"Have I?" Anthea mumbled.
Anthea shrugged, feeling surprised.
However, when Anthea studied at the university and started the relationship with
Adam, Leonardo cared about her a lot. He spoke to her like a father. But now, everything reversed.
Thinking of this, the two smiled spontaneously at each other.
At dinner, Adam drank a lot with Emerson. Emerson got so drunk that he couldn't hold up a child but could only lean on Bunny.
Adam stood aside, watched until Emerson felt better, and asked the driver to send them back.
Leonardo also drank quite much.
Unlike Emerson and Adam, who drank to compete, Leonardo drank to swallow down his sorrow for being lonely.
Seeing Leonardo faltering, Anthea could not help asking, "Can you walk?"
Leonardo groaned, "Anthea, I am a man. Don't ask me such a question!"
"All right!" Anthea rolled her eyes and went forward to support him, "Can you go back alone? Do you need to wait for the driver to send you back?"
Leonardo waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. I'll call a designated driver!"
Anthea put on a coat and walked him out of the mansion.
Under the night sky, Emerson just left with his family.
Looking at the disappearing taillights, Anthea suddenly remembered something and said to Leonardo, "Golden Leonardo, I heard that Mila is back. I don't know if it's true!"

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
