"Manhunt for your mother? What kind of nonsense is this?" Leonardo finds it very funny that twins are searching for a man for their mother. He can"t believe that the mission that the twins are working on is about their mother.
"Uncle Leo, my mom has been alone while raising and does not have time for herself. Brother and I think that if we set up a date for mom, maybe mom will spare more time for herself." What the twins want is for their mother to be happy, and Leonardo can understand that. But doing this behind Mary"s back is a bit too much. They should ask their mother"s permission first before doing this.
Leonardo was about to tell the twins to stop, but he held it back when he noticed Arion and Leon coming near them. Inwardly, Leonardo smiled mischievously. Leonardo stared at the pictures that are laid on the table, and when he spotted a familiar face, he picks it up and said, "If you want your mother to be happy that badly, then I recommend this guy."
Anna took the picture in Leonardo"s hand and stared at it. "This guy? Why?" The man in the picture looks like a man that can be trusted and relied on, and on top of that, he looks very handsome. She doesn"t see any problem, but she just can"t help but ask why did Leonardo pick this guy.
"This particular guy was your father"s rival." Glancing at Arion"s direction, Leonardo gave him a wicked smirk. "Your father almost lost to this guy, so I think that this guy will make your mother more comfortable than any other guys you two are contemplating."
What Leonardo is saying is all the truth. Before Mary met Arion, there was a guy who is close to Mary other than him. That guy was the only one who Arion recognizes as a threat in Mary"s heart.
He might not be able to beat the h.e.l.l out of Arion, but he sure can use the twins to irritate him. At least that way, it could make him feel a little bit better for not beating Arion.
After some thought about it, the twins agreed to pick the guy in the picture."Really? Then we"ll pick this guy." From the twins" point of view, it would be better for their mother to meet someone with a familiar face because it will not make things awkward for them.
"Good choice." After saying that Leonardo bid the twins goodbye and took another provoking glance Arion. "Let"s see how you will face this."
Without looking, Leonardo went out of the library with a satisfied smile on his face.
Arion heard everything from the conversation the twins were having with Leonardo, and he could not help but kill Leonardo in his mind. He knows exactly who is Leonardo was talking about. He is having a hard time to believe that Leonardo actually told his children to let that guy have a date with his beloved.
"d.a.m.n you, Leo." Arion inwardly cursed. Arion understands that Leonardo is still angry at him, but why does Leonardo have to use his kids to hurt him like this. As always, Leonardo is heartless to everyone except for his daughter, wife, and Mary.
As Arion is choking Leonardo in his mind, he suddenly heard his precious daughter"s voice. "He looks very interesting." The more Anna stares at the picture, the more feels like she is starting to get interested in the man who her father considered as a rival.
"You"re having a crush on him now? Does that mean you"re gonna dump, Kyle?" Aaron asked in a teasing tone.
"Such nonsense, brother. I am not gonna push away Kyle for this man. I only said that he is interesting, don"t jump into conclusions." Although the man on the picture is handsome, it can never compare to Kyle"s. In her eyes, Kyle placed first place and no can ever replace that.
"So really like Kyle that much?" Aaron said. As much as he wants to convince Anna to stop her feelings for Kyle, he knows that it would be impossible to do that anymore because Anna has fallen deeply for Kyle.
With a light blush on her face, Anna replied shyly, "Am I that obvious?"
Aaron heard that and he made a face, a face that indicates that he dislikes the way Anna is talking right now. "Anna, you are my twin and I love you very much, but if you are gonna act like that in front of me, I feel like I want to get away from you as soon as possible."
"I"m sorry that you felt that way, but I am not sorry that you don"t have anyone special in that heart of yours, brother." Anna teased back at Aaron.
Although Anna is not sure, she thinks that her brother does have a special someone in his heart. If that is true, then her brother has not noticed it yet or acting like he does not know. Whatever may be the case, she wants her brother to find or to confront it fast because she does not want her brother to act so bitter whenever she mentions Kyle.
"Wow. I can"t believe that you just said that to me." As much as Aaron hates to admit it, he does feel bitter whenever he sees the love between his sister and Kyle. If he were to think of anyone that is dear to him and outside of his family, the first one to come in his mind is Nathalia. But as always, he did not contemplate much about it.
As Anna and Aaron were having their conversation, Arion and Leon were listening in the sidelines. Leon is in cold sweat, he is afraid to look at the face his boss is making right now. Even without the twins saying the details that have happened between Kyle and Anna, Leon can tell that something had happened. Leon is also sure that his boss can sense that too.
"I"m not gonna get myself into trouble, right?" Leon remembers that he had once sent his boss a recording of him and Anna talking. He advised to Anna that if her feelings were true and strong, then she should pursue it.
He is one of the main reasons why Anna and Kyle have taken that big step, and Leon is afraid that if his boss knows that, then he might be able to see Anna"s future children.
"That brat Kyle..." Arion spoke in an icy tone of voice. "Shall I pay him a fatherly visit for my daughter"s sake? What do you think, Leon?"
Though Leon wants to say no, he has no choice but to agree whatever Arion is saying at this moment. "I-I think it"s a great idea."
