Hansen immediately thought of his grandson, "Go, call him over."
Leo, having already filled his belly with bread outside, was called by the housemaid for breakfast.
"I'm not going," he said, "I'm already full."
The maid responded, "Mr. Leo, you should go. Mrs. Cedillo says even if you're not hungry, you should join them."
Eventually, Leo was led to the dining room.
He looked at the trio and asked, "Have you guys decided?"
They completely ignored him.
Leo shut up.
After breakfast, everyone dispersed.
Three good buddies were off to have some fun, and Hansen, watching them, wanted to tag along.
However, considering the potential trouble they could stir up, he quietly whipped out his phone and got lost in it.
Naomi wanted to get out, and she sneaked out quietly.
Leo instantly noticed his mother's strange behavior, "Mom, where are you off to?"
"I heard my father is sick. I'm going to the hospital."
"No way!" Leo cut her off sternly.
Naomi softened at her son's attitude, and she coaxed, "How about you come with me, Leo?"
Leo grabbed the bag from Naomi's hand, "His condition can't be that serious."
Despite his disrespectful words, Naomi didn't reprimand him.
She was stopped from leaving by her son.
Mia and Molly came back because it was cold outside.
As they entered the living room, they saw Leo being blatantly disrespectful to his mother.
"Leo, what the hell are you doing?"
Leo glanced at Mia, frowning, "Nothing."
Mia could tell he was in a bad mood, she exchanged a look with Molly, "Our nephew must be up to something."
Leo escorted his mother back to her room, "Mom, give me your phone."
"Are you going to block their numbers again?"
Leo: "They're all after you. I'm all grown up now, let them call me if they need anything. I'll take care of it."
As Mia and Molly were about to come upstairs to ask Leo what had happened, Leo came out of the bedroom and said, "Do me a favor. Watch my mom today and don't let her leave."
With that, Leo left.
Mia watched his retreating figure, puzzled, "Just like that, he's gone, not waiting for our agreement. What if we don't agree?"
Molly said knowingly, "He knows we'll agree."
They arrived at Naomi's door, Mia knocked, "Naomi, may we come in?"
Naomi replied, "Please come in."
They entered.
Naomi didn't seem to be crying or angry.
Mia asked, "Naomi, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, where's Leo?"
"He's gone, I don't know where," Mia answered honestly.
Naomi appeared worried and was about to leave.
Mia and Molly immediately blocked the door.
"Why are you blocking my door?"
Mia: "We've made a promise, and we need to keep it."
