The CEO’s little ones

Chapter 306:.

When Hayden came downstairs, a group of girls n were surrounding Leon to get autographs signed.

Embarrassed, Hayden stood still with a bag in her hand.

She now doubted that it wasn’t Leon but his agency that sent the statement about the rumor.

“Hayden!”

Leon spotted her in the crowd. Waving to her, he pushed his way through the mass and approached her.

Leon looked innocent.

Today he wore a white feathered coat with a broad yellow hat that made him look even blonder. His face was as small as a child’s.

“I’ve found a place where we can eat in private without attracting attention. Believe me, we won’t have our pictures taken this time.”

Hayden regretted meeting him, he should have told her he wasn’t in. However, it’s hard to turn down a request from Leon.

“I’m really sorry, Leon. I’m busy tonight and I think you will be, too, so maybe we can cancel dinner?”

“But I’ve already reserved a table. My assistant told me the food at that Japanese restaurant tasted good.”

“A Japanese restaurant?” Hayden was surprised and started drooling.

Half an hour later, in the booth of a Japanese restaurant located in the N City Business District, Hayden was raving about the fresh sea urchin in front of him.

“This restaurant was recommended to me by my assistant. I’m sorry to hear the news.”

“It’s okay, it doesn’t matter.” Hayden sipped water, “You’ve provided me with a delicious meal. Besides, it’s not your fault. I understand that a celebrity should be cautious about his behavior, which are often exaggerated by others. ”

“I’m fine.” Leon smiled, “I’ve gotten used to it. I think I’d starve to death if I wasn’t a celebrity.”

“You’ve got to be kidding.”

“It’s true. I’ve lived alone since I was ten years old and worked all kinds of menial jobs. If I hadn’t been discovered by a headhunter, I would have starved to death long ago.”

Hayden was a bit shocked by that revelation because he thought Leon was born into a wealthy family and had entered show business just for fun. He knew little of his experience.

Noticing Hayden’s confusion, Leon touched his nose sheepishly.

“All the information online is false, actually made up by the agency. They think people nowadays like celebrities who are rich. However, I don’t even know who my parents are.”

“I’m sorry.” Hayden frowned, “We’d better put it behind us.”

“You’re right, it’s all behind us.”

Leon took a deep breath. He’s so young and cute, Hayden grieved for his suffering.

“To be honest, it wasn’t grief for me to be discarded by my parents. I lived in a welfare institution until I was five until I was adopted. At that time, I was happy to have parents, but a few days later, my adoptive mother was in a car accident and passed away. From then on, my father indulged in excessive drinking and beat me, so I ran away from him at the age of ten. I couldn’t take it anymore, after that I worked hard to make a living everywhere.”

Then she paused and sobbed, “Hayden, I heard that you once adopted a little boy like me, is that Freddie?”

She nodded.

A lot of people knew about it and the media echoed it.

“If only I had found a kind-hearted person like you at that time!”.

Leon bit his lips regretfully. He stared at Hayden and then drank a lot of rice wine. But he choked immediately because the wine was too pungent for him.

“It tastes terrible!” He reproached himself.

Hayden immediately gave her water, “Drink some water.”

She felt deeply sorry for Leon, he reminded her of Freddie when he was little.

When she met Freddie in an underground boxing ring, he was about twelve and she was fifteen. She was much taller than he was malnourished.

Freddie’s life was changed by her. Although they weren’t always happy, he led a much better life than the one in the ring.

“Even though we didn’t know each other before, you live well.”

“Actually, back then I lived with a girl who looked like you.” Leon smiled bitterly, “It seems everyone who treats me well suffers.”

He pulled out his phone and found a picture of them. Then he showed it to Hayden, “Look, she’s really pretty.

It’s an old photo with an eighteen year old girl and a fifteen year old boy in it, it was Leon younger.

And the girl was sweet and cute, if a little like Hayden.

Hayden now understood why Leon greeted her so warmly on their first meeting and waited for her outside shivering with cold.

“It’s normal for two people to look alike.” She nodded and asked, “Was that your girlfriend?”

“Yes, her name is Chris, she was born into a well-to-do family.” Admitted Leon with deep love as he remembered her, “Two years after I was hired as an intern, something happened to me and I left that agency with a hefty severance package. It was she who paid all my debts for the two years and helped me become a model. In the past I planned to marry her.”

“What happened?” Hayden asked, but realized that his question was not a good one.

As expected, Leon gave him a self-mocking smile.

“Everyone who is nice to me has bad luck, she passed away because she got leukemia. Then I received the legacy she inherited from her father. I started defining myself as her family as if she was still alive and had never left me.”noveldrama

Leon downed the two remaining glasses of wine and began to drunkenly ramble on about the history between him and Chris.

Hayden became sentimental.

Leon, the innocent boy she thought had a happy family, turned out to have lived in such a miserable life, thinking about it made her feel extremely sad and sorry.
