“Come to my place for dinner today.” Leo’s tone left no room for bargaining.
“Dad, what are you doing again? I have a date today …” Skyler looked at the picture of Stephen in his hand and smiled slightly.
“No, come back to dinner for me!” With that, Leo hung up the phone.
A date? When he thought of Stephen, Leo was furious. I don’t know what’s wrong with this silly daughter, she has to go after that Stephen from Gale Technologies instead of Leon, who is such a sincere guy.
Instantly, Leo seemed to have aged a lot.
“Hey Leon, are you free tonight? Come to my place for dinner sometime …” Leo spoke gently on the phone.
Since he knew about Skyler’s change of heart to Stephen, Leo has been harboring some guilt towards Leon in his heart. It is said that the same sex is repulsive, but the same sex is the most understanding of the same sex. As a man, Leo could imagine what Leon would look like when he knew about Skyler and Stephen’s affair.
Perhaps, today’s dinner will be the last dinner the three of them will eat together, Leo’s eyes flashed a trace of reluctance.
Although Leon the man is not smart and does not know how to really romantic, but have to admit, Leon is really a good man who loves his wife. It’s just that the fate is not there.
“Oh, Dad, what are you doing, you have to make me come to dinner, when to eat together can not, but this evening …,” Skyler impatience into the restaurant.
“Skyler, here we go.” Before Skyler could finish her sentence, Leon greeted her excitedly.
Skyler looked suspiciously at Leo next to him.
“What are you … doing here …,” Skyler stammered.
“I asked him to come, the three of us have not eaten together for a long time, it’s not easy to get together today, come on …” said Leo, he got up and walked to the table.
“Come on, Leon, today’s dinner, all your favorite dishes, I asked them to cook especially for you, you try, whether it is to your taste.” Leo gently patted Leon’s shoulder.
At once, being so complimented by his father-in-law, Leon himself felt a little embarrassed.
Leon is simple in nature, he really just thought that this time Leo let him come home for dinner, just to get together with three people. However, later on, he realized that he had been kept in the dark by all the people.
“Here, Skyler, this is your favorite.” Leon gave Skyler a piece of meat directly.
Looking at the piece of meat in the bowl, Skyler’s brow furrowed slightly.
I don’t know if it’s because she has gotten used to the closeness between herself and Stephen, she now doesn’t even want to touch anything Leon has touched.
“Skyler, what are you frothing at the mouth for? Your husband and you clip the food, so you eat it.” Leo reminded her.
“Huh? Oh.” Skyler swallowed the piece of meat so that Leon wouldn’t see anything.
“Leon ah, since you and Skyler married, I also do not have much time to eat with you guys, today let’s not get drunk …” said Leo rushed to lift the glass.
Looking at his father-in-law’s bold and quick-witted appearance, Leon couldn’t back down.
Throughout the night, Leo and Leon drank, screamed and yelled together, and even Skyler couldn’t tell if they were really drunk or sober.
“Dad, we’ll go first then, Leon’s had quite a bit to drink, if we drink any more we really won’t even be able to walk.” Skyler complained in a low voice.
Skyler, now, is full of Stephen’s face.
But …
“Leon, Leon, slow down …,” Skyler said as he helped Leon into the room.
Probably because he was really drunk, Leon closed his eyes and snored as soon as he laid down on the bed. In the past, Leon never snored when he slept, because he was afraid of disturbing Skyler, probably because he was too tired today.
Looking at the man on the bed, Skyler’s heart was a little uncomfortable.
She admits that Leon is a perfectly good man, but she has no way to truly love this good man.
“Leon, I’m sorry, the person I love is not you, thank you for always being tolerant and understanding of me, it’s just between us, it’s really not suitable to be a couple …,” at this time Skyler, looks extra serious.
She didn’t know if Leon, who had closed his eyes, could hear her, but there was no way she could say something so cruel to Leon while he was awake.
“Leon, can you hear me Leon …” Skyler gently shook the man’s body.
Leon rolled over and turned his back to Skyler, smacking his lips as if he was sleeping soundly.
Instantly, Skyler’s eyes dimmed; perhaps, now was not the time. The woman got up and left the room.
But Leon, who was lying in bed at the moment, had tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
What is love? Love is that no matter what you do wrong, I will be waiting for you to turn back where you are until the moment you really don’t want to turn back.
“Ding ding ding …”
“Hello, Leon?” said Dolly, answering the phone.
“Dolly, I need your help.” Leon said openly.
Help?
Dolly looked suspiciously at Brayden in front of her, trying to see something in his expression, but Brayden just shook his head.
“I wanted to surprise Skyler, and tomorrow is the third anniversary of me and her meeting, so …” Leon stammered shyly.
Even if Leon didn’t finish his sentence, Dolly had already understood the man’s mind and would naturally agree to him.
In fact, Leon has slowly felt that Skyler has always avoided himself lately, intentionally or unintentionally.
“Leon wanted to surprise Skyler, and he asked us to get together to help him set something up …,” Dolly whispered to Brayden.
For Leon’s request for help, the couple is naturally obliged to do so, and it would be a good thing if the surprise could win back Skyler’s heart. Who would want to see Leon and Skyler go down the road to divorce?
“Skyler, are you free tomorrow, I need to see you about something.” Dolly then gave Skyler a call.
“Dolly, why are you calling me now when you have something for me tomorrow?” Skyler took a sip of his coffee.
“Make an appointment in advance, you’re a busy man.” Dolly said deliberately.
She was certainly aware that Skyler must still be reveling in his love for Stephen right now.
