Chapter 1073: Chapter 1053: Still Love You!

She has a child?

Then she must be married, right?

Rio Gordon felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body, his hand went limp, and the small leather ball he had been holding dropped straight to the ground.

"Phoebe, this is Uncle Rio!"

"Uncle... Uncle Rio, hello!" After hearing Senna Leon’s words, Phoebe greeted Rio Gordon politely, and before Rio could respond to her greeting, the little girl spoke up again, "Uncle Rio, you look pale. Are you not eating just like little Mommy, always skipping meals?"

Always skipping meals?

Hearing this, Rio instinctively raised his head to look at Senna Leon’s thin face and asked without thinking, "You always skip meals?"

"No... how could that be, children talk nonsense!"

Her response came out too quickly and with a bit of a stutter, as if she were trying to dodge something, "Anyway, what are you doing in a place like this?"

The once young master of the Gordon family, oh, he is now Mr. Gordon; news of him had never ceased to be followed over the years.

"Uncle, uncle, where did you come from? I don’t want to play anymore, uncle!"

"Uncle is coming right now!"

Rio Gordon quickly got up and called out to the little one, then turned to Senna Leon and said, "Wait for me, I’ll bring her over!"

As for why he wanted to bring Sisi over instead of going home, probably because he worried she was not doing well?

Even though she was married with children, he still hoped she was doing well!

"Uncle, did you just see a beautiful woman you want to marry and make our aunt?"

It was the first time Sisi had been in the amusement park and got tired; she hadn’t seen her uncle waiting by her side. Normally, her uncle’s gaze never lingered on her, even if a beautiful woman wanted to become her aunt, it would not change her uncle’s love for her!

She expected her uncle to deny it, as his eyes were supposed to be only for her, his little treasure. But to her surprise, this time her uncle didn’t even think before giving a gentle hum of acknowledgment.

"Hmm!"

Rio Gordon bent down, lifted the little one, and instinctively kissed her forehead, "Come on, uncle will take you to meet her, her family has another little sister!"

Seeing that little girl called Phoebe, who was younger than Sisi, he thought they looked completely different; Phoebe didn’t nearly possess the same genes as Senna Leon’s stunning beauty.

If she hadn’t called out "little Mommy", he would have had trouble believing she was her child, because... she didn’t look like it at all!

Looking at her now, frail and skeletal, he suspected she might not have married well. And considering the child, her husband must be quite ordinary looking!

That was the only explanation.

"Sure, sure, I love little sisters the most!"

After all, there were too many older brothers at home, two of them. Mommy said the brothers should give in to everything she wanted, so it was no fun to argue or fight since the older brothers never contended with her and always let her have her way!

"Alright!"

When Rio Gordon walked over with Sisi in his arms, Senna Leon was on the phone. Whatever was said on the other end caused her to frown incessantly. Phoebe was probably too restless, so she had to hold her with one hand and manage the phone with the other. Despite the child’s size, she—so slender—lifted the child effortlessly with a single arm.

It was evident that she was the one who usually took care of the child; otherwise, a frail girl like her wouldn’t have such arm strength. Knowing that pampered women like his sister still can’t even hold a child properly, let alone securely embrace a little one in one arm.

Witnessing this scene, Rio’s heart felt as if it was being pierced by a pair of scissors, causing a breath-stealing pain. Rather than see her suffering, he wished she could return to his side like before—be well and happy!

Be well and happy!

Rio felt his hands trembling as he held Sisi. She once stood before him in perfect health, and yet he let her go!

If she was not leading a good life today, it was all his doing!

With Sisi in one arm, Rio’s other hand, as if possessed, reached out towards the child in her embrace. Senna Leon seemed to sense his intention. Glancing back, she understood his look and handed the child over to him.

"Mommy is making a phone call. You play with uncle and sister for a while!"

Probably Phoebe, who kept playing with her hair and making it difficult for her to talk, prompted Senna to proactively pass the child to him.

"I’ve told you, I’m at the amusement park with Phoebe; it’s inconvenient!"

The moment he took Phoebe, Rio overheard her saying this because he was so close that he could clearly see the worry on her face when she spoke. Was it her mother calling?

"I told you today really isn’t a good time; let’s reschedule to another day!"

As Rio took the child, Senna’s arm instantly became free. Her first instinct was to shake off the fatigue from carrying the child, but when she realized Rio was standing right beside her, she stopped the motion and covered her mouth instead to prevent her voice from disturbing him.

"Mom, how many times have I told you, I just want to raise Phoebe until she’s grown! I don’t want anything else!"

"How can you not want anything else? I don’t object to you raising Phoebe, but you can’t just not look for a husband. You can find someone to raise Phoebe with!"

Senna Leon could hardly bear her mother’s nagging. She had only returned to the country a short while ago and was already being pushed into blind dates and marriage. But she had no such intentions. In this lifetime, her heart had no room for anyone else, even if she wasn’t worthy of him. She didn’t want to be suitable for anyone else!

"Mom, I’ve said it, I won’t go on blind dates. Please don’t arrange them for me; I won’t go!"

Senna Leon’s voice involuntarily grew louder, perhaps because seeing him again after so many years still deeply affected her. Her emotions were unstable, and coupled with her mother’s pressure to marry, she couldn’t keep her composure when she became agitated, raising her voice even though she was already covering her mouth.

Rio, with his keen hearing, could still clearly hear Senna’s words. He didn’t know how to describe the feeling in his heart upon hearing her statement—the sensation of being hollowed out and suddenly filled by something he long missed, as if a long-lost cherished object had unexpectedly returned.

Blind date?

Indeed, that’s exactly what she had said. She wouldn’t go on blind dates, so her husband...
