Chapter 1038
Leonard, “My dad never mentioned you.”
Liam nodded, “That’s normal. Your mother told me that you rarely go home.”
Leonard was silent for a while.
“Do you really know my parents?”
Liam pulled out his phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, a gentle female voice said, “Hello”
Leonard’s eyes widened. That was indeed his mother’s voice.
Liam smiled slightly, “It’s me, Liam”
“Liam, it’s been a while since you last called. Have you been busy lately?”
“Yes, I’ve been swamped with work recently. Steven told me that you’ll be coming to J City in a few days. Have you set the date?”
Leonard couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, are you coming to J City?”
The woman on the other end of the phone paused, “Leo? Are you with Liam?”
Leonard pursed his lips and reluctantly said, “We are having dinner together”
“How did you two meet?”
Leonard closed his mouth and didn’t say a word
Liam continued, “He’s in the same production team as my wife. I met him when I visited the set.”
Leonard remained silent.
His mother seemed very pleased to hear this news. She chatted with Liam for a while, then asked him to take care of Leonard and suggested they should get together when she comes to J City
After hanging up the phone, Liam looked at Leonard, “Do you believe me now?”
Leonard gave a snort, but didn’t say anything.
Celeste, on the other hand, was quite interested
“Leonard’s mother was your teacher, and his father was your friend. The ages don’t seem to add up.”
Liam explained, “Sheldon became a father when he was 21. Your mother is six years older than him. When I was four, she came to our house and tutored me for three years They met each other at our house”
Celeste began to calculate in her head.
Leonard is 22. His father was 21 when he became a dad, so he would be 43 this year, a decade older than Liam. When Liam was five, Sheldon Hann was only 16 ar 17. He pursued a 20–something tutor and even managed to marry her.
In those days, that move was simply epic!
Celeste joked, “So let me get this straight, you played cupid for their parents“*
Liam chuckled, turning to Leonard, “We’re family. If you need anything, just spit it out. If you feel awkward talking to me, you can always go to Celeste. Just think of her as your elder sister”
She swiveled her head, raising her glass to Leonard, “Down this drink and you’re officially my little bro. From then on, in the J City… she paused, hooking her arm through Liam’s, pointing at his face, “he’s got your back.”
Leonard, utterly clueless, took the glass, equally clueless, downed the drink, still clueless at the end, as to how the goddess of his dreams ended up being his sister
