Chapter 1092: Chapter 1072: Baring One’s True Feelings!

"All right, all right, I can’t seem to recall ever being as thick-skinned as you when I was young!"

Ivy Aretha was clearly speechless about her darling daughter. After all, she was very reserved when she was young!

"Mommy, didn’t you always say I take after Daddy?"

Chani Gordon giggled, "It’s because my daddy’s passion that he could chase after such a reserved and beautiful woman like my mommy!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

That mouth...

Senna Leon: "..."

Born from the same pregnancy, why is Rio Gordon so different?

After lunch, Senna Leon took Phoebe out to see her father. Obviously, this situation wasn’t suitable for visiting a home. By dinner time, Senna Leon hadn’t returned yet, but Rio Gordon suddenly did.

"Brother, didn’t your assistant say you booked a plane ticket for tomorrow’s return?"

"Can’t I come home today?"

Rio Gordon just swept her a glance and scanned the house before realizing a familiar figure wasn’t there, "Where’s your sister-in-law?"

Uh?

Sister-in-law?

It’s really a habit!

Chani Gordon felt that she had only been born ten minutes after Rio Gordon, yet her whole life seemed to be overshadowed by him. Senna Leon was even younger than her, yet she had to call her ’sister-in-law’. Her man crush seemed to be just one year older than Rio, and in the future, she’d even have to call Rio ’big brother’. Ahhhhh!

"Senna took Phoebe to see Phoebe’s dad!"

"Say that again? Who did she go see?"

Rio Gordon’s face suddenly darkened to the extreme.

"Phoebe’s dad, got it unclear?"

Drive you crazy, drive you crazy!

Chani Gordon said while glaring, and then...

there was no ’and then’!

She expected her brother to roar loudly just like the Roaring Brother, but surprisingly, Rio Gordon didn’t say a word and just went upstairs with a cold face, leaving no words below.

Ten minutes passed...

"Chani, get your brother down for dinner and give your sister-in-law a call to see where she is?"

Dinner was ready and her son hadn’t come downstairs yet, Ivy Aretha felt like this man came home to be a princess, "He goes on business trips right after getting married, locks himself in his room the moment he’s home. If I were Senna, I’d resent him too!"

Chani Gordon went upstairs and called for a while, but couldn’t get him to come down for dinner.

"Mommy, Brother said he’s too tired from the flight and doesn’t want to eat."

"Chani, who did you say was too tired to eat?"

Just as Chani Gordon got the words out, Senna Leon came back.

"Who else could it be? My brother, your husband, comes back and won’t come downstairs, acting like a delicate lady!"

Chani Gordon shrugged, "Phoebe has been sent back. Did she cry?"

"I am a bit reluctant to let her go, but I told her she could stay here for visits, and I would visit her when I had time. After that, she felt better. Kids are like that!"

Chani Gordon smiled faintly. Originally, she had wanted to take care of her for a longer period, but unexpectedly, she was taken away so soon. It made her genuinely reluctant to part, "Didn’t you say your brother was coming back tomorrow? Why did he come back tonight?"

"He probably thought you were going to meet the child’s dad, and he got jealous, so he came back early!"

Senna Leon: "..."

"I have nothing to do with anyone. I can prove that anytime. What’s there to be jealous about?"

"In my brother’s heart, you had a child for someone else, and you’re still taking the child to see him. Of course, my brother would feel jealous!"

"Ah, didn’t you explain to him?"

She didn’t have the chance to speak. They are family. Whatever they want to say, even if Rio doesn’t want to listen, he can’t stop them.

"In this situation, would our explanations even matter?"

He had long discovered that Sebastian Leon’s household registration stated he was unmarried, and he didn’t say anything! Why should they tell him if they discovered something? Chani Gordon felt that her brother desperately needed a harsh lesson, or else his repressed character wouldn’t blatantly show itself.

"So..."

"Senna, go call Rio down for dinner. He went to sleep as soon as he got home. Is he that tired? When dad used to run the company, he had tons of free time. A leader being busy means his subordinates are just freeloading. Get him out of bed!"

"Mommy, I agree. Sister-in-law, let’s go together and get him up. If he dares not get up, we’ll beat him up!"

Although Chani Gordon was in her twenties, her nature still retained that playful personality, always cheerful!

She loved doing this kind of thing!

"Well, mommy, he might really be tired. He’s still young and can’t compare to dad’s capability!"

Senna Leon cleared his throat, then said, "How about this? I’ll take the food up to him, let him eat, and continue sleeping. Air travel is tiring!"

"That’s someone who shares the same bed finally showing some compassion!"

Chani Gordon instantly lost interest, "But, sister-in-law, if you dare bring food up there, be prepared to starve with him!"

Towards the end, Chani Gordon started to chuckle mischievously. If her sister-in-law really went up to bring food and managed to come down alright, she’d write her name backwards. Write her name backwards?

Chani Gordon? Gordon Chani?

Forget it. Better not to write it backwards. Stay out of other people’s business, finish dinner quickly, and go for a movie date!

Don’t waste this great moment. If possible, jump right into bed with him to force the marriage!

When Senna Leon was carrying the food and pushed the door open, he didn’t even see a trace of Rio. Senna Leon set the meal by the bed, then checked the bathroom and saw no one there. In the vast bedroom, there wasn’t a soul in sight!

"Rio, are you there?"

While gently calling out, he was getting doubtful inside, "Could he have gone out, not in his room, and Chani didn’t see him?"

Just as he was about to go downstairs to confirm with Chani Gordon, he suddenly noticed something amiss, right there on the bed!

The quilt, which was usually neatly folded every day, was now spread out with a bulky something underneath. Senna Leon’s heart panicked, and he instinctively reached out to gently pull back the corner of the quilt above, then...

"Rio, is that really you? You’re fine, so why are you covering your whole body with the quilt?"

Senna Leon, frightened, directly yanked away the quilt, only then realizing the man hadn’t even taken off his clothes or shoes, and was still lying face-down on the bed, "Rio, are you having stomach issues?"

With his usual busy schedule, meal times were definitely irregular, so Senna Leon instinctively thought of that.

Seeing that the man did not respond, Senna Leon reached out to feel his forehead, but before his hand could get there, the man grabbed it. With a strong pull, Senna Leon toppled onto his back, frightening Senna Leon until his face turned deathly pale!
