Before Mila could recover from the shock, Leonardo had already pulled out a chair and sat opposite.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt!" He greeted Charley's parents.
Charley's parents were obviously surprised to see him, but they were also very happy. "It's you, Leonardo! What brings you here? Ever since your father resigned from the leading post due to illness a few years ago, you've become a busy bee. It's even not easy for us to invite you to attend family gatherings!"
After that, they quickly ordered the servants to send another set of chopsticks and bowl.
"I happened to be doing something nearby, so I came to see you by the way! I haven’t come to your house for a long time." Leonardo spread his hands and said, "It's just that I was in a hurry this time so that I didn't bring any gifts!"
Charley's father said, "You don’t have to bring anything to us. We're all from the same family. You don't need to be so polite! Besides, today is Mila's first time at home.
She has brought a lot of gifts!"
Mila, who was mentioned, smiled awkwardly.
Leonardo's eyes turned cold.
He looked up and asked, "Where is Holly?"
Mila's heart suddenly stopped for a moment. She cleared her throat, for fear of being seen through, and said, "She is sleeping upstairs!"
Charley's parents did not notice anything unusual. After all, when they were in the Schain’s Mansion, they had eaten together. They just said, "Leonardo, you suddenly came here, making the family more lively! Come on, eat with us!"
Leonardo nodded with a smile.
Mila was silent.
Leonardo just asked about Holly, which could be regarded as his polite greetings. But now his words was a little abnormal.
Charley's parents were confused. "Mila, are you familiar with Leonardo?"
"I..." Mila didn’t know how to answer.
Charley put one hand on Mila’s back and explained for her, "They know each other because they have a common friend, right, brother?"
Leonardo glanced at Charley and said, "Yes!"
The torturous meal was finally over.
Holly was still sleeping. Mila saw that her little face was red and she slept very soundly. She could not bear to wake her up, so she simply held her and left.
When she went downstairs with Charley, Leonardo also took his leave.
After they came out of the villa, Charley said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I'll send Mila and Holly back to the hotel!"
"There's no need!"
This sentence came from Leonardo. He said, "I happened to pass there. I’ll send them back!"
"Isn't it too troublesome?" Charley asked with a smile, but the corners of his eyes twitched.
"My dear brother, your intention couldn’t be more obvious!"
"No!" Leonardo immediately said in a tone that a good brother had, "Charley, you have been abroad for so many years. Now that you have returned, make good use of your time and spend more time with your parents!"
After that, he reached out to take Holly from Charley's arms and bent over to sit in the car.
Mila was stunned and had to follow him.
After Maybach drove out of the yard, Charley's mother started to scold him. "Look at Leonardo. In the past, when he was in school, he dyed hair yellow and only knew how to play games, which made his parents worry about him a lot. But now, he is the leader of the Schain’s Group. He is mature and steady, and always takes others into consideration! You should learn from
him!"
Charley was speechless.
“Gosh! I am her boyfriend now!”
On the way back, it was quiet inside the car.
The chauffeur had some business to do today and had asked a leave. It was the secretary who was driving the car. The three of them were sitting at the back.
Holly had been in Leonardo's arms all the time. When she got on the car, she woke up and called him dad softly. Then she continued to sleep with a smile.
The neon light outside the window refracted in, and Leonardo's side face was cold.
