Lailah looked a bit embarrassed. She was a rising star in the entertainment industry and usually had four or five assistants serving her. In order to cater to her taste, several chefs would be prepared.
She offered to cook, but it was just a formality.
In fact, she wanted Jovan to ask her out for a meal.
But unexpectedly, Jovan kept staring at the living room, lost in thought and completely ignored Lailah. She could only
grit her teeth and pretend to be gentle, patiently trying to coax Leonel.
“Leo, I can learn it. I have an idea. I will go to the restaurant to buy some for you, okay?”
Leonel became happy.“Then I want to add two hamburgers!”
“Okay, no problem.” Lailah looked affectionately at Jovan.“Jovan, is there anything special you want to eat?”
Jovan slowly came back to his senses.“No.”
Lailah had just left when she called her assistant to have someone deliver food.
When she came back, Jovan had already gone to the study to work. He was organizing documents for signing a submarine tunnel project.
Lailah thought for a moment, served a cup of coffee, and walked to the door of the study before knocking on it.
In the study, Jovan found the words on the documents suddenly became dense, and he couldn’t read them no matter how hard he tried.
He rubbed his forehead and subconsciously reached for the coffee cup on the table.
But it turned out to be empty.
Jovan sneered.
He thought,“Ariella, good for you. It has been three hours, but you haven’t called me.”
And at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Jovan sneered, thinking Ariella couldn’t stand it and had come back.
Jovan even gave her three days, but now it seemed to be an overestimation of her.
“Come in!”
Jovan didn’t even lift his head, and his tone was somewhat cold, “Once again, if you apologize, I…”
“Jovan.” This voice was not Ariella’s.
Jovan furrowed his brows, looking up.
Lailah came in with a cup of coffee and placed it by his side. “Are you tired? I have learned massage. Can I give you a massage?”
Jovan didn’t say a word. He just picked up the coffee and took a sip, his face instantly darkening.
Jovan imagined, “It tastes so terrible.
“It does not suit my taste at all.”
At this moment, Leonel ran over and shouted, “Auntie Layla, it’s time to eat!”
Lailah smiled, “Jovan, let’s go together.”
Jovan just came back from a business trip and then went to pick up Ariella. He hadn’t had anything yet, so he was

indeed hungry.
“Okay.”

The table was filled with a variety of dishes. Seeing that they were all his favorites, Leonel went bright pink with happiness and couldn’t wait to start the meal.

He used to be taught by Ariella to have table manners, waiting for his parents to eat together before starting. However, Lailah patted his shoulder and said, “Go ahead. Eat more,”
Leonel immediately ran to wash his hands and came back to grab a hamburger before taking a big bite.
“Pab!”
He vomited all the hamburgers he had just eaten,
“How can it be so tasteless? The meat is all dry!”

Children were supposed to have little patience. Leonel got angry and started crying, directly throwing the hamburger into the trash bin.
Jovan’s face darkened.“Leo!”
Scolded, Leonel cried even louder, “It’s just so terrible. If you don’t believe me, try it.”
Jovan rarely got involved in Leonel’s education, and he didn’t know what to do in this situation either.
Thinking of setting a good example, Jovan took a bite of the dish.
He also wanted to vomit immediately.
But hindered by his own self–cultivation, Jovan forced himself to swallow it.
Seeing that, Leonel paused his crying and took a bite with a hesitant attitude.
“Phew!” Leonel broke down in tears again.“It’s so disgusting. I won’t eat it!”
After saying that, he ran upstairs in tears.
Lailah’s face turned pale. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with these dishes. The food on the set was even worse than this.“Maybe there is something wrong with Leonel’s sense of taste,” she thought.
Jovan put down his fork and said, “I’ll go check on him.”
Lailah immediately stood up.“I’ll go with you.”
“No need.”
Jovan went upstairs and could still hear Leonel’s crying through the bedroom door.
He pushed open the door and looked at Leonel who was crying hard on the bed.“Stop crying! When I was on a business trip, you ate as usual.”
Leonel cried even louder, on the verge of collapsing.“But the meal at home never used to be like this!”
Jovan pinched his brow. He was the same. He didn’t mind what he ate on business trips, but he had very high expectations for meals when he returned home.
However, Jovan couldn’t show it. He could only lecture Leonel.“No crying allowed, otherwise you’ll go hungry.”
Leonel just kept crying.
Jovan felt annoyed, never knowing that Leonel could be so noisy. He couldn’t find a way to pacify Leonel.
In the past, when Leonel didn’t want to eat, he would cry like this.
But Ariella was able to appease him with just a few words.
Jovan suddenly became more annoyed.

In the end, he snapped, “Cry if you want to. Come to me after you finish crying!”
After saying that, Jovan abruptly closed the bedroom door and returned to the study.
He didn’t want to have dinner either!

Chapter 3 You Can’t Leave Me3
After a long time, Jovan could still hear Leonel crying. In the end, he picked up his phone and called Ariella for the first time.
The phone was quickly answered, and Jovan immediately said, “If you want to come back…”
“Mr. Hensley, do you want to talk to me about divorce? Shall I send you the lawyer’s contact information?”
Jovan sneered, “All these years, every piece of clothing and jewelry you have was given by me. If we really get divorced, you won’t be able to take any of them with you.”
He paused, his voice filled with a hint of malicious certainty.
“You can’t live without me at all!”
Ariella’s voice was calm, without a trace of anger.
“Don’t worry about it, Mr. Hensley. If you are not going to talk about the divorce, then don’t contact me, lest Ms. Barrett misunderstand.” After saying that, Ariella hung up directly.
Jovan angrily threw away his phone. This was the first time Ariella dared to hang up on him.
Jovan wondered, “Okay, very good!”
***
In the urban village, Ariella had just submitted her resume when she received a phone call from Jovan, which made her mood much worse.
Back then, she was also a shining star at a prestigious university, with certificates and trophies in abundance. Her family background was also quite affluent, and her future looked very promising.
After Ariella had Leonel, who was in poor health, Jovan asked her to resign and take care of their son first, and he voluntarily handed over a black card to her, allowing her to have unlimited spending.
Ariella looked at Leonel, who was weak and listless due to illness, and in the end, she gave up her own future.
Over the past few years, Ariella thought that even if she lost love, her efforts would still be respected.
But…
In Jovan’s eyes, Ariella was just a good–for–nothing with no survival ability.
Ariella forced a bitter smile. Love blinded her in the past.
Ariella had a moment of daze, and then Raul brought her a glass of water.“Mom, drink some water. Let me massage
your arms.”
Ariella snapped back to reality, deeply touched by Raul.
It turned out that not all children would ignore their mother’s efforts.
Ariella’s phone rang again, and she thought it was Jovan, not wanting to answer. But when she saw the displaye number, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
“I saw your resume.”
The HR’s voice was extremely gentle.“Can you come for an interview tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock?”
Ariella almost thought she was hallucinating.
“Sure!”
Ariella was so excited that she almost cried.“I will definitely be on time.”
