Olivia tried to hide next to Leonardo. He wouldn’t let her and forced her to lie in his arms. He covered her with the quilt and then moved the table on the bed, to cover her….
When Leonardo’s mother came in, she couldn’t help but smile when she saw Leonardo sitting with the table set for the meal.
-You’re hungry, aren’t you? The table is ready. I had a talk with the head nurse and was a little late.
He stood at the edge of the bed and opened the thermos, taking out the plates one by one.
-You can eat better today, finally you don’t have to eat only liquids. You look thinner.
The mother said with a heartfelt expression.
-Why are you blushing?
Leonardo took a sip of his soup and answered calmly:
-That’s good. Didn’t you still think my face was too pale this morning?
Leonardo’s mother nodded at his words:
-Yes. It scared me to see you pale. Tell me honestly, is it because of Olivia that you’re drinking like crazy?
Olivia, under the sheets, blushed as she felt his erection, but she couldn’t move yet!
“Mother of mine!”
Hearing Leonardo’s mother’s words, she unconsciously held her breath, wanting to keep listening.
-Yes. Mom, don’t ever force me to see another woman again. I only want Olivia.
Leonardo admitted it immediately.
A glint of sinisterness shone in Leonardo’s mother’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared:
-I promised you a long time ago that I could agree as long as she was willing to be with you. However, she’s the one who doesn’t see you, and the one who doesn’t want to be with you, so there’s nothing I can do about it. You’re in your thirties, it’s time to get married. If she doesn’t want to marry you, you can’t keep putting it off. The girl I recommended to you isn’t worse than Olivia at all….
Olivia lowered her head after hearing that.
Olivia scoffed inwardly.
“What a fine suitor!”
“It’s a pity her mother won’t become an actress.”
In front of her, she lobbied, but in front of Leonardo she played the role of a good mother.
Even if she told Leonardo the truth, he would not believe it. Maybe he would even think she was trying to ruin their relationship and would be disgusted by it.
“I’m still no match for her.”
Olivia closed her eyes helplessly.
Leonardo was worried that Olivia was suffocating, so he took the opportunity to arrange the blankets, leaving an opening in them to let fresh air in before eating:
-I’ll bring her back to me, by any means. Don’t worry. Yesterday I would have gone to see Mr. Murillo’s daughter, just for Mr. Murillo. I won’t do it next time, in case Olivia finds out and misunderstands me.
She had to eat fast so her mother could leave.
“I have to convince Olivia to marry me and have our baby.”
When I thought of having a baby, I immediately associated it with the girl under the sheets. And the thought of the baby was what he had that night in Catyblaca Nation. He couldn’t help it even more.
His erection grew even stronger.
Olivia felt his temperature and blushed even more, so she gave his waist a firm squeeze.
Leonardo suppressed the urge with all his might and took a big mouthful of rice to divert her attention.
Well, the erection was gone.
Leonardo’s mother was oblivious to her son’s situation, who was wolfing down his food, and clenched her fists.
“I won’t let that bitch marry my son!”
“Why does my son love her so much?”
Leonardo quickly finished eating. Leonardo’s mother cleared the table and asked:
-You still don’t want me to stay here with you?
-It’s not necessary. You should have dinner with Dad. Ernesto will be here later. It’s not convenient for us to talk while you’re here.
Leonardo resisted.
Leonardo’s mother paused in her words and said humbly:
-Ernesto’s girlfriend is the daughter of Gilabert Group. They are well matched. If you insist on being with Olivia, and my friends ask me which girl is your son’s girlfriend, how do you want me to answer?
Leonardo said angrily:
-You promised me before that you wouldn’t have this kind of prejudice anymore. Olivia and I are perfect, you just have to wait until you become a grandmother!
“What…”
Leonardo’s mother got a surprised look on her face.
Leonardo wanted to say that Olivia was pregnant to cheer his mother up, but Olivia squeezed his waist to keep him from saying it, so he had to restrain himself.
“I know you went to Catyblaca Nation to meet with Catyblaca Nation, can it be that casual?”
Her mother’s hand holding the thermos tightened.
“That bitch wants to use this to marry my son?”
Leonardo sketched a slight smile and said ambiguously:
-She will get pregnant sooner or later.
Leonardo’s mother prepared to push the table aside, and Leonardo hurried to stop her:
-Don’t take her away! Bring my laptop here.
Leonardo’s mother set up her computer without much thought, and then left under Leonardo’s persuasion. As she headed for the door, she glanced back uneasily. From this angle, the height of the quilt bulge was obviously not normal.
Leonardo no longer had the slightest fear that his mother would find out.
Sooner or later, she was going to find out. If Olivia hadn’t left her, she would have let them meet.
Leonardo’s mother was even more certain that it was most likely Olivia who was under the comforter.
Gritting her teeth, Leonardo’s mother pushed open the door and went out. As soon as she closed the door, the expression became unmistakably fierce.
“You fucking bitch!”
“Let’s see how long you can hold out!”
Leonardo quickly pushed away from the table and took Olivia in his arms, then kissed her:
-Olivia, stay here with me tonight, okay?
Olivia looked at him with mixed feelings and, after a long time, asked him:
Leonardo, if I told you that your mother still doesn’t love me and insists on not letting us be together, would you believe me?
