Vanessa changed the subject. "The soup is almost ready. I'll go check on it."
Julien pulled her back and said, "Vanessa, even if you aren't thinking for your sake, you should think about Lawrie. He has been insecure all this while because he doesn't have his father's love. Do you want him to continue feeling that way?"
Vanessa certainly wanted a fatherly figure to love Lawrie. She wanted her son to be able to live in a happy family like Larry and grow up without worries. However, she still had a lot of considerations in her mind. Her biggest concern was Julien's family.
His sister, Karen Joy, told Vanessa today that their mother was very kind but Vanessa was still doubtful. After all, in a daughter's eyes, a mother must be the best woman in the world. But, that mother might not treat outsiders the same way, especially one from such a rich and powerful family.
After thinking about it, Vanessa used all her strength to pull her hand away from Julien. "Julien, I'll prepare the meal first."
Julien was slightly disappointed. "Vanessa..." Vanessa couldn't bear to see him sad, thus she took two steps before turning back. "Give me one more night to think about it and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
Julien could only nod. He did not want to force her to do anything.
"Alas, these men, what are they thinking?" When Levi came out of the ward, he was still thinking about the men of the Kyle family. He was deep in thought so he did not notice at all when someone came rushing towards him from the opposite direction. Meanwhile, that person was running too fast as well, hence she did not see Levi either. She ended up crashing right into him.
The woman crashed heavily into Levi, which made him spin around a few times before he could regain his footing. He was about to curse but when he looked closer, he immediately stopped cursing and put on a smile. "Miss, there are many people in the hospital. Don't run so quickly. You could bump into someone and hurt yourself."
"I'm, I'm sorry!" Monique stared at him with unconcealable surprise in her eyes. There were a hundred voices in her heart. "Levi? Is this Levi? Is this really the infamous and arrogant Levi Brown?"
"It couldn't be!" she thought.
Levi was arrogant and domineering; he was very unlikeable. However, the person in front of her at this moment was polite and gentle. When he spoke, there was a faint smile in his eyes.
Levi noticed her giving him a once-over like she was trying to figure out if he was a stranger or if he was someone she knew. There was also a hint of familiarity in her eyes as if they had met somewhere before. "Miss, have we seen each other somewhere before?"
"No, I don't think so." Indeed, this person was not Levi. If it was him, he would definitely have shoved her and made a sarcastic jibe at her. Not only did this person not laugh at her, but he was even concerned about her. This person was way more pleasant than Levi.
"Oh, you look kind of familiar but I can't remember where I have seen you before." Monique was very beautiful, she had the kind of face that people would not forget throughout their lifetime. Levi looked at her with only one thought in his heart: He wanted to pursue her and make her his girlfriend. "Miss, look at you running so quickly. Do you have an emergency?"
The man in front of her looked exactly like Levi. His enthusiasm was making her a little embarrassed. However, seeing how friendly he was, she politely replied, "There's someone in my family who needs to be hospitalized."
Her family member was sick and staying in this hospital. Levi felt that this was an opportunity sent from heaven. He planned to use this to get closer to this beautiful young lady. "I am quite close with the director of this hospital. If you need any help, just let me know and I'll speak to him for you. There should be nothing that I can't handle."
"You want to help me?" Monique stared at him with a complicated expression. She didn't recall Levi having any twin or brother of any kind. Who was this man who looked so similar to him? Why was he so kind? Could it be that Levi was trying to make a fool of her?
