Chapter 1075: Chapter 1055: How about considering my uncle?

Children’s thoughts are simple; they just want to pair up the two people they like, and Senna Leon understood that. But as an adult, she should always correct these unrealistic thoughts.

Phoebe was still young, and the more she was indulged in thinking her ideas were correct, the more disappointed she would become when her ideas and wishes couldn’t be fulfilled.

"But Phoebe thinks you and Dad would be a good match!"

"Phoebe is young, she doesn’t understand what is or isn’t suitable between adults. When you grow up to Mommy’s age, you’ll understand what really is suitable!"

Marriage has to be based on feelings; otherwise, even if one could make do for a while, it couldn’t last a lifetime. For two people to walk together for a long time, there must be a foundation of feelings.

It was for this reason that she now understood why Rio Gordon disliked her so much back then, feeling that she disrupted his life!

Time is indeed a wonderful thing; what was once incomprehensible, now, suddenly, she understood. Love is the only thing that can’t save doomed fate, the only regret being that even though she understood everything now, deep down she still couldn’t let go. Just being looked at by him, she could feel a pain that cut to the quick.

"Eek, Auntie Phoebe, you look unhappy, did we disturb you guys?"

Sisilia Thompson had inherited Bella Gordon’s clever and quirky demeanor from a young age. She saw her uncle staring motionlessly at the aunt in front of him, the aunt looking down, holding a child, her face pale and her eyes on the verge of turning red. She wanted to leave but didn’t dare to; of course, little Sisi didn’t understand it was not about daring, but about not wanting to leave.

"Uncle, uncle, if you keep looking like that, Auntie is going to cry!"

Seeing her little hand waving futilely in front of him, Sisilia Thompson decided to grab hold of Rio Gordon’s ear directly, "Uncle, you even ignored what Sisi darling said, it’s very impolite to stare at a lady like this!"

Rio Gordon: "..."

Why should he be polite when looking at the woman he likes?

Senna Leon: "..."

"This baby must be Sister Bianca’s and Brother Thompson’s, right?"

It was just too awkward. This man never took the initiative in anything; she almost believed that if you didn’t speak up, he could look at you all day long, maintaining the same posture, "What’s your name, darling Sisi?"

Senna Leon had quite a deep impression of Bella Gordon. In fact, her impression of the entire Gordon family was quite good. Except for Rio being a bit difficult to talk to and having a bit of a temper, everyone else was rather approachable. Therefore, seeing such an adorable little one, she didn’t know why, but a vague tenderness sprouted in the depths of Senna’s heart, even deeper than for Phoebe in her arms, and she even felt an urge to be her family member.

Uncle? Aunt?

If she, Senna Leon, could add those titles to her name in this lifetime, she would say it was a life without regrets. But she knew that was impossible. In her youth, she could dream, but those days were long gone; he deserved the best!

"My name is Sisilia Thompson, my nickname is Senna; I also have triplet brothers. Mommy says we are triple blessings from a single birth, like the sun, moon, and stars in the sky. My brothers are the sun and the moon, and I am the star!"

Little Sisi was always a chatterbox, warm to everyone she met. Coupled with a great first impression of Senna Leon, she rambled on once asked, "But Uncle thinks Senna doesn’t sound as nice as Sisi, so now I’ve become Uncle’s darling Sisi!"

After finishing speaking, the child blinked her large, pitch-black eyes and poked her head out, shaking it in front of Senna Leon, "Auntie, why are you afraid to look at my uncle? Is my uncle too flirtatious?"

Senna Leon: "..."

This little darling, really is...

"No..."

"Actually, let me tell you a secret, my uncle isn’t flirtatious at all!"

After saying that, she blinked forcefully at Senna Leon and then mimicked the gesture Bella Gordon often made, sighing heavily, "If only he were a bit more flirtatious, then he could find me an aunt to play with me. Oh, right, Auntie..."

Sisi was older than Phoebe, already four years old, and spoke very clearly, probably due to her genes; she resembled Bella Gordon a lot when she was little, especially in terms of being mischievously clever. Plus, with one little auntie and one aunt constantly teasing her, she learned a lot and understood many things about adults.

"What’s wrong?"

As the child suddenly stopped mid-sentence, Senna Leon instinctively thought something was wrong and quickly lifted her head. Upon doing so, her gaze inadvertently collided with those pitch-black eyes, a look so intense it nearly seized the last bit of her soul!

Sisi glanced at Rio Gordon, then back at Senna Leon, before finally continuing to speak.

"Auntie, you just said that Phoebe’s dad is not a good match for you. Then, what about my uncle? Do you think he’s a suitable match?"

Senna Leon: "..."

This little one really had inherited her mommy’s matchmaker gene; it was said that Bella Gordon only learned of her real father when she returned to Andras City at the age of five. From then on, she began playing matchmaker between her daddy and mommy, a fact known by many, and she happened to be one of those many.

"This... this..."

How should she answer a child’s question? She found him very suitable indeed; she felt that the first time she saw him. But he thought she wasn’t suitable!

But this darling wasn’t her Phoebe; she was too smart and noble. Answering the child, in truth, meant speaking to Rio Gordon. He was someone with a nasty temper. Bringing up any discomfort could lead to a direct response: "Scram!"

So, she felt somewhat at a loss and simply looked towards Rio Gordon for help, but he acted as though he hadn’t heard, completely ignoring her!

Ignoring wasn’t quite right, though, because he wanted to know the answer!

"Well... well..."

Seeing the man remain silent, Senna Leon figured she understood his intention. In the past, he would have bluntly said "scram" because he was young, but now he was more mature and had a child to consider; naturally, he wanted to maintain a polished image of an uncle in the child’s eyes. The result was the same—her not measuring up. "Sisi darling, I still have Phoebe with me. We two are not a good match for your uncle. You shouldn’t joke about this with Auntie!"

While saying this, Senna Leon felt as if the skin on her face was being peeled away, layer by layer. Only now did she understand how brave he had been back then, to chase after someone with such thick-skinned persistence. If it were the current her, she would definitely not be able to do that!
