Chapter 1 32
Kevin was quite straightforward and he told Leonardo what Jonas was here for.
“By the way, I have to thank Rosalind for designing such a beautiful traditional wedding dress for my
mother as her birthday present.”
Hearing what Kevin said, Jonas explained immediately.
After saying that, he glanced at Leonardo with a proud look. As expected, Leonardo, who already felt a
little unpleasant, got even more displeased.
“Did you design a dress for his mother?” asked Leonardo,
He stared unhappily at Rosalind as she came out.
“Yeah. Why? Do you have a problem?”
Rosalind frowned. She thought, Is Leonardo questioning me!
Does he have anything to do with who 1 design the dress for?”
“No, I don’t have any problem with that. I just want to warn you not to charge too little. After all, the
Macaulay family is powerful and wealthy, and they’d be embarrassed if you charged too little.”
Leonardo didn’t dare to argue with her now, so he had to swallow what he was going to say.
Rosalind rolled her eyes at Leonardo..
“You know nothing, Leonardo. I promised Jonas that I would design a dress for his mother earlier so
I’m not gonna charge him for that.”
She thought, “I don’t want to put a price on friendship. When did Leonardo become so mean? He’s the
CEO of the Brooks Group! He wasn’t like this before.”
“Jonas? Why do you call him Jonas? When did you get so close to him?” asked Leonardo.
After all, Rosalind had always called Leonardo in a very distant way, and she even called him Mr.
Brooks sometimes. So he didn’t understand why she called Jonas in such an intimate manner.

close to each other?” Leonardo wondered.
Leonardo was so pi ss ed, but he got no way to vent his anger. He could only glare at Jonas and took
him as his enemy.
“Are you here for a meal or are you trying to make trouble, Leonardo? If you want to enjoy the meal,
then sit down and shut your mouth. But if you’re here to pick on Jonas, you can leave now!”
Rosalind had expected that Leonardo and Jonas would fight when they met, but she hadn’t expected
that they would do soon as Leonardo walked in. It gave her a terrible headache.
Leonardo, who had always been very domineering, arrogant, and quiet, seemed to become an angry

Leonardo was stunned. He felt a little aggrieved at Rosalind’s impatient expression. For an instant, he
froze and dared not
say more.
Because he was afraid that he would be kicked out by Rosalind if he really pis sed her off.
Lana did her job very quickly. After cleaning the table, she brought out delicious food from the kitchen.
“Rosalind and her family are having dinner, Mr. Brooks. Aren’t you leaving? It’s not far from your house.
You’d better go home as soon as possible.”
Jonas stood beside Leonardo who was ready for dinner and looked at him with a frown.
He thought, ‘What happened when I was away on business?
When did Leonardo start having dinner with Rosalind? And why don’t they seem to have a problem
with it? Has he been doing this for a long time? Jonas couldn’t help feeling a little threatened.
Hearing this, Leonardo raised his head and smirked.
“Oh, I happen to be living across from Rosalind and I’m invited here for dinner every day.”
Leonardo was near Jonas, and he lowered his voice on purpose when he said this. So neither Rosalind
nor the kids heard.

“What? You’re so shameless, Leonardol”
Jonas gritted his teeth. He didn’t expect Leonardo to play such a dirty trick.
But the next second, Jonas came up with an idea. If Leonardo could live here, he could too.
Leonardo seemed to know what Jonas was thinking, so he smiled proudly.
“Don’t you ever think about moving here. I’ve bought all the spare rooms in the building. So sorry, man,
you’d better go back to your own house.”
Leonardo was so proud of himself. When he bought the house he was living in now, he knew that
Jonas would definitely do the same thing. That was why Leonardo bought all the spare rooms in this
building
He did that on the spur of the moment, but it seemned what he did was brilliant.
Seeing Jona s’s furious look, Leonardo, who was upset by Rosalind’s words, got happy again.
“You. Well done, Leonardo!
“But it seems that it’s useless for you to live across from Rosalind. 1 don’t think she likes you!”
Since Rosalind had been busy taking care of Yanna and Kevin and paid no attention to Leonardo,
Jonas knew that she was indifferent to the fact that Leonardo moved here. Her attitude towards him

what that means? Nah, it seems that you’ll never know.”
Jonas got excited. “Wake up, Leonardo. Rosalind is just your ex-wife. Do you think you can get her
back after doing those things to her? That’s impossible!”
Jonas secretly investigated what happened between Leonardo and Rosalind before so he knew she
had been through a lot. He didn’t want her to be hurt again.
Also, he thought that a woman as stubborn as Rosalind could never forgive Leonardo.
Hearing this, Leonardo’s face darkened, and the room fell silent again
“What are you going to do, Leonardo? Do you want to punch me in the face?”
Jonas once again felt the same pressure and threat he had felt that day at the Jansen villa. When he
saw Leonardo’s cold eyes, he felt that he could not breathe.
“Punch you? You’re not qualified””
Leonardo glanced at the panicked Jonas disdainfully, feeling bored.
“What a coward. Jonas has no right to take Rosalind away from me. I guess I overestimated him,”
Leonardo thought.
“Uncle Jonas, Uncle Leo, what are you whispering about? We’re starving
While devouring the fried chicken, Yanna looked at them with wide eyes.
She thought, ‘Shouldn’t we be focusing on dinner?
They are so rude as guests. Even Kevin and I are more polite than them:
“Nothing, I remember your favorite food is fried chicken, right, Yanna? It’s all yours.”
Jonas pushed the plate of fried chicken in front of Yanna and looked at her with a warm smile.
“Thank you, Uncle Jonax You’re so nice!”
Jonas smiled slightly, but suddenly, he thought of something very important.
“Yanna called conardo ‘Uncle Leo’ instead of ‘Dad. Hasn’t Rosalind told Leonardo that he’s their
biological father? So he doesn’t know Yanna and Kevin are his children, does he?” Jonas though.
Jonas got overjoyed. He suddenly felt that Leonardo living across from Rosalind was not a big deal.
