Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Daddy Cares, Just to Spite You
Leon’s mother has always pampered her grandson, and now that even Kiki’s embarrassing fall was witnessed by the Kane family’s driver and bodyguard, Leon’s mother suddenly felt that Kiki wasn’t suitable to be a daughter-in-law for the Kane family.
In this way, it was impossible for her to pull Leon out to take Kiki to the hospital.
"Auntie," Kiki said with tears in her eyes, hoping that Leon’s mother could help her.
Kiki had scraped a patch on her knee, blood was flowing, and even standing was painful, so she couldn’t chase after Leon in such a disheveled state.
However, Leon’s mother could.
"Oh dear, get in the car quickly! Going to the hospital is more important," Leon’s mother said.
Kiki’s expression turned stiff, it shouldn’t be this way, Leon’s mother should have listened to her, turned around and forcibly pulled Leon out to send her to the hospital.
The bitch Ivana followed Leon to visit Old Mr. Quill’s home, and if Kiki stayed at Old Mr. Quill’s home, she would probably have no chance to make any moves on Leon.
Only if Leon took her to the hospital, then brought her home, would she have a chance.
Kiki had already planned it out, she would have the housemaid slip the drug into the water glass, and she would try every means possible to make Leon take a sip, the drug would take effect in a few minutes, then Leon wouldn’t be able to leave her room.
At night, her dad would come home from work, and by then it would be too late, she would cry, throw a fit and threaten to hang herself, leaving Leon no choice but to marry her.
Such a perfect plan, why wasn’t Leon’s mother cooperating?
Kiki was supported into the car, feeling anxious, and seeing Leon’s mother getting into the car with her, she wanted to tell her the plan, but the Kane family bodyguard was sitting in the back, the driver was also in the front, all in the same enclosed space, no matter how quietly she spoke, they would be able to hear it.
Who knew if any of them were Leon’s confidants? If they heard it, would they secretly text Leon to tip him off?
"Auntie, my leg really hurts, when we reach the hospital, there should be someone to support me, you should have called Leon over," Kiki blinked at Leon’s mother, seemingly giving her a hint.
Leon’s mother seemed unable to understand the hint.
"Ian is hungry, Leon has to stay with Ian. Kiki, don’t worry! I can’t support you, but the bodyguards and the driver are all tall and strong, they can support you with no problem."
The bodyguard stared blankly at Kiki, more than happy to serve her, willing to hold her, not just support her.
Kiki choked, almost spitting blood from irritation at Leon’s mother’s words.

Leon had just walked in and before he could get angry at Ivana, he was scolded by Old Mr. Quill.
"You brat, you have a wife now, and two adorable and sensible sons, how could you be hugging other girls?"
"Haven’t you heard of avoiding physical contact between men and women?"
"Hurry and apologize to Ivana, and promise you won’t touch any other girls again."
"Otherwise... don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my apprentice."
Leon: "..."
Leon looked with deep, dark eyes at Ivana standing beside Old Mr. Quill, this woman did have some skill, she managed to win over his master’s heart in just a few minutes after he stepped out?
Leon felt a little frustrated inwardly.
He said nonchalantly, "Master, you overthink it. My wife is a good person! She’s so kind, seeing another woman clinging to her husband wouldn’t make her angry, she’d calmly stand by, hoping I’d carry the other woman away!"
Old Mr. Quill frowned, why did his disciple’s words sound a bit peculiar? Almost as if he was being sulky?
Old Mr. Quill, being straightforward, turned to ask Ivana, "Is that so? Ivana, don’t be afraid of him, if he is being unreasonable, I’ll take care of him for you."
Leon’s mouth twitched: Master, I am your disciple.
Ivana blushed at the question, Leon’s words had relieved her heart, it turned out he was trying to provoke her, deliberately carrying Kiki out just to annoy her.
Ivana felt that Leon’s behavior was somewhat childish.
Timmy blinked and pouted, "No matter what, Daddy shouldn’t be hugging a woman other than Mommy."
Hearing his son’s criticism, Leon internally regretted his foolish action, being provoked by Ivana he had acted recklessly at that time. He realized his behavior was immature, as if he were a kid not getting the candy he wanted, insistent on fighting with Ivana to see if he meant anything to her.
Leon said, "It won’t happen again."
Old Mr. Quill smiled, immediately lightening the atmosphere, after all, Leon was his apprentice, he hoped for Leon and Ivana to live harmoniously and happily together.
"That’s more like it, a man should be loyal to his wife, that’s how a family can be good."
"I’ll take your advice, Master." Leon walked to Ivana’s side, reaching out to hold her into his arms, Ivana caught a whiff of woman’s perfume on him, frowned and pulled away from his embrace.
Leon’s eyes turned slightly cold, even though he had taken a step back, did she still despise him this much? Did she really not care at all?
Leon gave a self-deprecating smile, not continuing to hold her.
Ian noticed the subtle rift between them and said, "Mommy, after Daddy threw Kiki into the car, Kiki tried to hug Daddy’s back from behind, but Daddy dodged. Kiki fell out the car door, scraped her knee, and cried miserably, but Daddy didn’t even help her up."
Ian concluded with a sentence, delivering it to Ivana: "Daddy cares about you. He carried Kiki out just to annoy you and get a reaction from you."
These were the thoughts Leon kept hidden in his heart, embarrassed to say out loud, now expressed by his son in front of everyone, making Leon’s handsome face flush.
Leon scolded Ian, "You don’t need to use this method just to cheer up your mommy."
Ian looked up, seeing Leon’s face turn red like a chameleon, he pouted: Daddy, we’re about to get Mommy to be part of the family, can you stop messing things up?
Ian wasn’t someone who easily liked others, yet Ivana was inexplicably the one he did, and once he liked her, he couldn’t let go. Ian vowed that apart from Ivana, no other woman could ever become his mommy.
Ivana pulled Ian into her arms, glaring at Leon, "If it wasn’t, then it wasn’t, why are you snapping at the kid?"
Seeing Ivana so protective of Ian, Leon felt a pang of frustration in his chest, wasn’t it true? He was exactly what Ian mentioned, only unable to admit it due to pride.
Leon thought Ivana was a little slow-witted, a smart woman would have been touched hearing Ian say something like that.
Even if she didn’t like him, there should have been some surprise.
Ivana, however, showed no such reaction, doing nothing but shielding Ian, it was truly a mother-child bond! She couldn’t stand to see her son suffer the slightest grievance.
What was he, then?
A sperm donor for Ivana?
