Belle pulled took her seat and sat down, her shrewd eyes sweeping across the other party's body.
He was also from the business circles, and he has achieved a lot at such a young age, Belle Ann had always admired his talent, regardless of the theme of tonight's meal, Belle still hoped to find some opportunities for herself.
Leo passed the menu to her and said politely: "Sister Belle, take a look and see what you like to eat."
Belle gracefully pointed to a few dishes that she liked and passed them over to the waiter. Then, she smiled at Leo and asked: Isn't there something you need my help with? For a Boss as you, what can I do for you?"
Leo was little embarrassed, but since he was already sitting here, even if he knew that he would be fiercely rejected, he still had to say it out loud.
"Sister Belle, I like your daughter!" Leo did not beat around the bush and said directly.
Belle's expression was shocked, she stared at the man in front of her with disbelief: "Leo, what did you say?"
Leo knew that she would definitely not accept this reality, but as a man, he had to fight for his love.
"I like Mary. I want to date with her. Please help me!" Leo went forward and once again seriously said that.
Belle's expression instantly changed, she chuckled: "So the reason you called me here to eat, was
because you took a fancy to my daughter?"
"Yes, I admit that I have a purpose. Sister Belle, I am willing to take care of Mary and I will give her a happy future. Please give me a chance and I will love her."
Belle stood up, and anger flashed past her face: "Leo, what relationship do you think we have? No matter what, I am still your cousin, and you like my daughter!"
Leo knew that she must react strongly. He felt a little ashamed and nodded, "I know that Mary is still young, and indeed, she is not old enough to fall in love with me. But I am willing to wait…”
Belle mocked in a satirizing tone, "Everyone said that you are full of strategies. I never thought that you would actually come and ask me to help you achieve it."
Leo's heart quaked. It seems that Belle would not agree.
"Are you the one who is pursuing my daughter? Or does my daughter like you too?" After Belle Ann's anger passed, she slowly calmed down.
Leo said in a gentle voice: "I pursue her firstly."
"I heard that there are a lot of beauties surrounding you, why did you choose my daughter who has just matured? Leo, how old are you this year? How old is my daughter?" Belle really could not accept it. Although she had once admired Leo, appreciation was one small thing, but marrying her daughter to him was a big thing.
Leo's eyes froze, he stared at the table and did not say a word for a long time. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
It was precisely because he knew that the gap was too great that he came to sincerely plead for her consent.
If Mary was already 22 years old today, he wouldn't care about who opposed him at all. As long as he loves the woman, he would definitely fight for her.
"Forget about this meal!" Belle's recuperation was not bad, she took her hand holding her bag, turned, and left.
Leo sighed helplessly.
His face was filled with defeat.
As expected, this method was not lack of considering.
Not long after Belle left, Mary called.
Leo answered and said in a low voice, "Your mother seems to be very angry."
"She's gone?" As Mary listened, her nerves also tensed up.
"Oh, what will you do? When she goes back, she'll definitely scold you." Leo was really worried for her.
"So, do you worry about that I am scolded? I've already beaten by her before." Mary mischievously mocked herself.
"Did she really beat you?" As Leo heard it, he felt an extreme heartache. No matter what, he couldn't bear to see her get hurt.
Mary Ann stuck out her tongue, and continued to smile: "Do you love me? It's okay, my mom isn't willing to beat me up either. But since she knows about this, there's definitely going to be a lot of scolding. I'm fine, scolding won't kill me."
Her optimistic tone made his emotions a little complicated.
"Alright, I'II hang up first. I'll wait for my mother to come back." After Mary finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
As expected, Belle angrily rushed back, upon entering, she saw that Mary was ready to be scolded, she blinked her large innocent eyes and looked at her.
"Mom..." Seeing that her mother's face was in rage, Mary carefully called out to her.
"Your wings are enough strong that you dare to find a boyfriend like others. Do you still have your mother in your heart?" Belle asked angrily.
Mary nodded and said, "Mom, in my heart, you will always be the most important person to me. No one can take your place."
"Heh, I've let you learn how to perform for a few years and now you have already learnt better how to comfort others." Belle was still filled with anger.
"Mom, punish me. I know I was wrong, but I won't regret it." Mary immediately walked over and placed her face right in front of her mother: "If you're angry, then please calm down after punishing me. Don't hold anger in your heart, it's not good for your body."
Belle looked at her daughter who had one eye closed. She was afraid of pain, but was willing to take the beating.
She looked just like she did when she was young.
"How far have you come with him?" How could Belle bear to punish her? She just sat on the sofa and asked with a slightly downcast expression.
"Mom, I am still very pure, so I only held hands with him, really!" Mary immediately ran to her mother's side and sat down. She reached out and hugged her arms, and stuck her face close to hers: "I took the initiative to confess to him. Actually, I was the one who pestered him. He might have been bothered by me for a long time and finally, he stared to know about me…"
Belle was startled.
She suddenly remembered that Leo had admitted that he was the one who took the initiative.
"Are you really the one who took the initiative? What do you like about him?" Belle looked at her daughter's bashful expression, her eyes flashing, full of hope and happiness.
"I... Of course, I took a liking to his handsome looks from the start. To be honest, I've never seen a man with a better look than him." Mary said honestly.
Belle never thought that her daughter would be the same as her back then. She was also an early lover, and was also the first to see the other party's appearance.
"You fell in love with him just because he was good-looking. That's a very stupid thing." Belle ridiculed.
Mary admitted it: "Yes, I also know that I'm very foolish, but, later on when I interacted with him, I realized, not only is he good-looking, he treats me even better!"
"He is a businessman, so he is good to you. What if it's just a facade?" Belle suddenly felt that she had to properly teach her daughter.
