After she left this world, Lisa could marry again and rebuild a normal family. Leo would not be an unwanted child.

Since Lisa hadn’t signed the divorce papers, Leo was a legitimate child born during their marriage.

“Thank you, Mr. Lisa. I really don’t know what to say,” she said sincerely.

“Since we’re a married couple, I don’t think you should address me so formally, Mrs. Manoban.” There was a meaningful look in Lisa’s deep eyes, and a playful smirk appeared on his lips.

“Then I’ll call you Lili—”

“Call me hubby,” Lisa interrupted, and his smirk widened, “If you are willing to take back the divorce papers.”

“I am.” Jennie hurriedly put the divorce papers back into the file and closed it.

When Lisa heard those two words, he felt as if flowers were blooming in his heart. At this moment, the words “I am” were the most beautiful words in the world for him.

After putting everything away, Jennie decided that it was time to tell him about Leo’s existence. She took a few moments to gather her courage and then finally opened her mouth to speak. “Hubby, there’s actually something that—”

Before she could finish her words, a mumble came from the back seat. “Daddy! Hug me!”

Jennie’s head jerked around in surprise. Sitting in the backseat was a small boy, blinking his eyes innocently with his arms spread open for a hug.

He looked to be about three or four years old. Ever since she had given birth to Leo, Jennie had a fondness for children. At this moment, however, when she saw this boy, her mood dampened. Her heart suddenly sank, and she did not know how to react.

So Lisa hadn’t divorced her, but he did have another woman and a child?

Then what was the difference?

How could she bear to destroy the happiness of another woman and her child? Moreover, how could she let Leo be the extra child?

“Why are you here?” Obviously, Lisa hadn’t expected his son to be lurking in the car.

He had made a conscious decision to refrain from mentioning his son’s existence until everything had gone according to plan. Then he would tell her.

Sensing the hint of displeasure in his father’s voice, the little boy pursed his lips tightly, as if he would break into tears at any moment. “I wanted to be with you, Daddy.”

“Mr. Lisa, your son is about to cry. Please calm him down first.” Jennie deliberately avoided his eyes and set the file down on the side. All of a sudden, there was a bitter taste in her mouth. “Let’s talk about our matter some other time.”

But she knew that there would be no chance for that in the future.

Five years had passed. To her, it seemed like a blink of an eye, but many things had changed. She had no right to expect anything from him.

“Su Bei,” Lisa said hurriedly, grabbing her hand. “I do have a son, but I don’t have a woman.”

Jennie looked at him with her beautiful eyes. “Mr. Lisa, from the beginning, I didn’t dare to have too much hope. It’s not your fault. You don’t need to explain.”

He tightened his grip on her wrist.

Jennie lowered her eyes to hide her disappointment. “Mr. Lisa, right now, you should focus on your son.”

Taking a look at his son who was about to cry, Lisa hesitated for a few moments before finally letting go of her.

Jennie opened the door and got out of the Bentley. She took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, but she still felt suffocated.

‘Leo, I’m sorry. I brought you into this world, but I can’t be with you while you grow up, let alone give you a complete family.’

Regret and sadness were written all over her face.

Now, she had no choice but to find another way to make sure that Leo grew up in a good home.

Just as she was about to leave, something grabbed onto her leg. She looked down and found Lisa’s son raised his head and blinked his eyes at her.

It suddenly occurred to her that she had seen this boy before. He was the one who had given her a bottle of milk in the pharmacy that day.

At that time, she had liked him very much because he reminded her of the child she had lost. She still remembered that his name was Luca.

But what a coincidence that he was Lisa’s son!

As she stared back at him, his gaze melted her heart. Lisa hadn’t done anything wrong, and this child was also innocent. She said gently, “Luca, go back to your daddy. I’m leaving.”

“Big sister, it’s really you! I’m Luca! Don’t you remember me? I missed you so much!” The boy held onto her with a warm smile.

Jennie chuckled in response, but her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes.

“Jen Jen, did you miss me too? Did you drink that milk? I forgot to ask you for your phone number last time.” In order to talk to her, Luca had to crane his neck all the time, which was difficult for him.

He spread his arms wide and kept waving for her to pick him up.

Jennie had no choice but to pick him up before saying softly, “Luca, I have something else to do. I have to go.”

“But you haven’t given me your phone number yet. Jen Jen, give it to me. I’ll call you!” Luca said earnestly.

However, Jennie was not in the mood to entertain him.

This whole day, her mood had risen and fallen several times, as if she was riding a roller coaster. She had no energy left to put up a strong front anymore.

She laughed and shook her head, lifting the corners of her red lips. “Luca, you should go back to your daddy.”

“No, I won’t! I want Jen Jen! Daddy is too fierce. I don’t like him. I want Jen Jen!” Luca refused to let go of her.

“Mr. Lisa!” Jennie walked over and handed him to Lisa, who had been standing aside and watching the two of them.

As Lisa took over the crying Luca, he said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Jennie.”

“It’s okay.” With a faint smile on her lips, Jennie turned around and strode away.

On the way back to Lu Hu International Villa, Luca kept rolling around in the back seat. “I want Jen Jen! I don’t want to go home. Argh, I’m so angry!”

“Is she the girl you met last time?” Lisa asked with a helpless sigh. He hadn’t told Jennie about Luca yet.

He hadn’t expected his son to show up suddenly.

“Yeah! But you didn’t keep your promise. Last time, you promised me that I could marry Jen Jen, but you changed your mind and separated us today. You broke your promise!

Lisa dragged him out of the car and all the way to the living room.

Jisoo jumped up from the sofa and said, “Brother, how did Luca piss you off? Whatever it is, don’t treat him like this!”

In fact, it would have been better if he had just stayed quiet, because his words only added fuel to the fire. Lisa’s face darkened. He directly took Luca upstairs and put him down on the bed. “Luca, I’ll give you half an hour. Can you calm down by then?”

“No, I want Jen Jen. I just want Jen Jen…”

“Then I’ll only give you ten minutes!” Lisa brought over an alarm clock and set the timer.
