Chapter 1436
Lawrie did not believe what Vanessa had said, but seeing the solemn look on her face, he pretended to believe her. He did not want her to worry anymore, but he really wanted to know who on earth was that big bad guy who had been bullying his mother?
Lawrie tilted his head and thought about it seriously. However, he was just a three year-old child, there were not many people that he knew. He only knew that the big bad guy would often call his mother on the phone. With that information alone, it was too difficult for him to find out who the big bad guy actually was.
Vanessa pinched his cheek and said, "Lawrie, can please stop pouting? Why don't you show me your beautiful smile?"
Lawrie curled the corner of his lips and smiled sweetly at Vanessa. "Let's go home, Mommy."
Vanessa picked Lawrie up and said, "Okay, let's go."
The reason why Levi wanted to get admitted was to make Vanessa stay by his side. Now that she was gone, there was no reason for him to stay in such an annoying place anymore. However, when he was about to leave, Mia Kyle rushed into the ward with two ferocious looking men following after her.
"Mom, why are you here?" Levi asked in surprise.
"Levi, I'm not your mother. Don't you dare to call me that again." Mia waved her hand and pointed at Levi. "You two, tie him up and bring him back home."
Levi immediately jumped to the other side of the bed and said, "Mom, let's talk this out, okay? You don't have to carry me off like this." Mia said in exasperation, "Levi Brown, if you did take me as your mother, you wouldn't have done such an abominable thing."
Upon hearing this, Levi was confused. "What did I do?"
"You little brat, how dare you deny it." Mia placed her hands on her hips and continued, "Tell me honestly, did you send a woman to your dad's bed? And even thought of finding yourself another mother?"
Levi was speechless.
How many years had it been since this had happened? Levi thought that this secret had buried deep down in their hearts a long time ago. How did Mia find out about it all of a sudden?
Needless to say, it was Julien Glover Kyle who told Mia about it.
In an instant, Levi felt that he had shot himself in the foot.
Sure enough, he was still too inexperienced compared to the cold and cheeky Julien.
Ring...
Out of a sudden, Mia's phone rang. She immediately answered the call, "Julien, I've already caught this spoiled brat. Thanks for letting me know. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark by this b*stard father and son."
Mia was fierce when she was talking to Levi, but her attitude toward Julien was completely different. Listening to Mia's gentle tone, Levi was upset. He had once again wondered if he was really Mia's biological son.
Then, Levi heard Julien telling Mia, "It's good that you've found him, Aunt Mia. Well, you can settle your matters first. I shall not disturb you anymore."
Levi shouted, "Julien, you, you..."
Levi was so upset that he could no longer speak coherently. Julien took advantage of this secret and had been using it to threaten him over the years. Levi did not expect that he would really end up betraying him.
What an annoying guy!
"What are you two waiting for? Get him now." Mia was a far-sighted person. She knew that she wouldn't be able to deal with Levi by herself so before leaving the house, she asked Neil Brown to lend two of his subordinates to her.
Levi stretched his arms in front of him, trying to stop the men from getting close to him. "Mom, I'm your son. If you do this, how am I going to face anyone in the future? Don't you want a daughter-in- law? Or a grandson?"
"No, I don't!" Mia's reply made Levi speechless. If it wasn't for the fact that Levi was her son, she would have thrown him out and fed him to stray dogs. This brat, had indeed angered her this time.
Upon receiving Mia's instruction, the two burly men stepped forward and surrounded Levi. All the martial arts that Levi had learned over the years were of no use at all. Mia knew her son too well. She made sure that she had brought along enough men to deal with Levi.
In less than a month, he had been 'abducted' by his family twice. Most of the time, he would think that he was an adopted child, and that was why everyone in the family would only bully him.
He asked, "Mia Kyle! Am I actually a freebie that you picked up? Am I not your son?"
Mia replied, "Well, even a freebie would be much more useful than you. Just look at yourself. Besides having fun all day long, what else do you do?"
Levi asked, "That's what Julien told you about me, isn't it?"
Mia said, "I think what Julien said about you is correct. People like you lack discipline. I'll ask your dad to send you to the special forces once we get home. I won't let you get out if you don't stay in there for at least a couple of years. Don't you even think about messing around anymore."
Levi said, "Mom, who is your son? Julien, that bastard or me? How can you do whatever he tells you to do? How could you punish me just because he asks you to?"
Mia said, "To tell you the truth, I'd rather that he was my son."
Levi said, "I'm renouncing you. I'm no longer your son, and you're not my mother anymore."
Mia replied, "Sure, since we're no longer mother and son, there's no need for me to worry that you'll suffer when you get enlisted in the military."
Levi pleaded, "Oh goodness! Please save me from this hell hole." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Although Levi was pleading piteously, nothing happened. No one was there to save him.
Vanessa had just returned home when Julien's call came in. His tone was still indifferent, "Where are you?"
Vanessa was worried that Julien had gone over to her place without a warning again, so she quick- wittedly told a little lie, "I'm on my way home."
Julien said, "Don't go out at night if you have nothing urgent to attend to."
Vanessa nodded obediently. "Okay."
Julien, who was on the other side of the phone, fell silent. After a long silence pause, Vanessa finally spoke, "Are you still angry at me?"
Julien was still not uttering a word.
Since he was not answering, Vanessa was sure that he was angry at her. Hence, she said, "Well, you should think about it. You're the mighty president of Rovio, and everyone at the company is watching you. It won't be good for your reputation if they see that you're treating me differently."
Julien was still not speaking. Vanessa did not know if he was listening to her, but she continued, "I know that you're on your business trip now but you should make sure that you rest up too, okay? Don't tire yourself out. If you fall ill, you'll be the one suffering."
Julien finally spoke in a dispassionate tone, "Okay."
Vanessa continued, "It's getting late now. You should go to bed early."
Julien said, "Okay."
"By the way, I'm home now," Vanessa said. "I'm hanging up. Good night."
In fact, Vanessa wanted to have a shoulder that she could rely on when she was sick too. She also wanted someone who could raise Lawrie with her, but this person could never be Julien.
Not to mention whether Julien could accept that she had a son, how could a family like his accept a woman like her? Most importantly, Vanessa could not even convince herself that Julien and the Kyle family would actually accept her.
Hence, she could just let things be. They should just maintain their current relationship and continue to get benefits from each other.
