Regina was taken aback because what Cindy said was so unexpected. She turned to the little girl, her eyes wide and a small smile playing on her lips.“Cindy, this gentleman helped you. You need to be more polite to him,” Regina said, ruffling the little girl’s hair.Cindy smiled until her eyes crinkled. The little girl knew she had said something she shouldn’t have. But she quickly nodded in understanding.“I’ll be polite to this gentleman.”“His name is Leo. Call him Mr. Leo,” Regina instructed.Cindy’s eyebrows shot up. Then she turned to Leo. She bowed her head.“I’m sorry, Mr. Leo. Thank you for helping me earlier.”Leo smiled and nodded. “You’re welcome.”Cindy smiled with relief because Leo wasn’t offended at all by what she’d just said. Regina, however, was a different story. Her face was slowly turning bright red. She hadn’t expected Cindy to say something like that, and it made her heart race.From the start, Regina had seen Leo as someone with authority and a sense of respon

Lisa furrowed her brow. “You can’t just decide that on your own, Gisele. I’m the one who’ll be sitting in front.”Lisa broke into a light jog to catch up. However, Gisele just gave a small smile. She then narrowed her eyes slightly as she folded her arms across her chest. “Hmm, oh really? If you’re in the front, will you be able to get any information out of Leo?” Gisele’s eyes gave a subtle hint as she glanced briefly at Regina.In an instant, Lisa understood exactly what Gisele meant. Lisa let out a sigh. “I still want to sit in the front—”“I’m sitting in the front,” Gisele cut in firmly.Gisele’s gaze was so sharp it felt piercing. Lisa had no choice but to sit in the back with Regina.The atmosphere grew awkward as the car began to move. Regina, who had previously been in awe of riding in this car, was now distracted. Gisele and Lisa’s presence was truly an unexpected factor. “Are those two Leo’s sisters? They look about the same age,” Regina wondered hesitantly. “If so, they m

Pietro lifted his arms and looked at them. His entire shirt was now soaked and smelled absolutely awful.“Damn it! You’ve gone too far!” Pietro’s face turned bright red. His jaw clenched.Gisele burst out laughing. “That suits you perfectly, you bastard. It smells just like your mouth. Filthy and disgusting!”Pietro grew even angrier. He stood up and tried to step closer. “You son of a bitch—”Before he could get any closer, Leo pushed Pietro away with his foot. Pietro almost fell, but managed to steady himself. He snorted and shot Leo a sharp glare.“You bastard… how dare you touch me like this! Are you trying to humiliate me on purpose, huh? Do you want to become a criminal just like Regina?”Leo calmly stepped forward. He folded his arms across his chest and stood with confidence. “Regina isn’t a criminal. But someone who doesn’t take care of their own flesh and blood is far worse than a criminal.”“I’ve met plenty of men with rotten hearts. I never expected there’d be someone even

“It’s no use,” Regina said, shaking her head. “Pietro will definitely use the excuse that I can’t take care of Cindy because I’m unemployed. As long as I haven’t found a job, he can still take Cindy away from me.”For a moment, Leo stared blankly at something in front of him. But then his eyes drifted back to Regina, who was sitting there, looking weak.“It’s okay, I’ll help you find a job,” he said calmly. “Nothing is impossible.”Regina furrowed her brow. She looked at Leo with a dismissive gaze. “I need to spend a lot of time with Cindy. Cindy is a special child. She has a frail body, so she needs constant supervision.”“That can be arranged, right? You can work at night. Meanwhile, during the day, you can take care of Cindy. I think that’s doable,” Lisa said, trying to offer a solution.In the past, Lisa had indeed frequently switched jobs—working both day and night shifts. None of the jobs she took paid very well, but at the time, Lisa had no choice but to do them to make ends me

They went out onto the street. Then they began handing out food to the people there, especially the elderly homeless. At first, the people welcomed them warmly. That is, until they gave some food to a homeless woman with curly hair and a scowling expression.Gisele handed her a burger wrapped in paper. “Here you go. Please eat, ma’am.”Without saying thank you, the woman took the paper wrapper. Then she opened it. Her eyebrows immediately furrowed and her lips turned down.“What is this? It looks like trash!” she said curtly.Hearing that, Gisele immediately narrowed her eyes. “Trash?”Lisa immediately stepped closer. She was still trying to be friendly, smiling at the homeless woman. “Excuse me, why did you say that? We worked really hard to make this.”The woman glanced back and forth between Gisele and Lisa. In her eyes, both women were indeed very beautiful and well-groomed. However, instead of being impressed, the homeless woman clicked her tongue and looked away.“The people wh
