Chapter 116 - Call Me Ley!

Larry sighed as his question went unanswered. Luckily he had prepared a room for his brother according to his taste so that he could sleep comfortably.

"Brother...".

Charles stopped in his tracks when he heard Larry's call.

"What is it?".

"What's your relationship with the Black Lion?". Asked Larry with a serious expression.

"Just normal cooperation...". Charles replied expressionlessly, after which he headed straight for his room leaving Larry with questions in his head.

The next morning.

It was already 12:30 pm, Sophia should have picked up Zian at school because since Diane returned to London, Zian chose to live and study in city B.

And today should be Sophia who picked him up on Michael's orders. But, Sophia forgot because there was an impromptu meeting on campus.

Remembering Zian, Sophia was immediately worried, she was even more worried when she remembered that the campus distance to Zian's school was quite far.

Worried that Zian would wait a long time, Sophia immediately contacted Larry because Word Entertainment was closer to Zian's school.

"Hello?". Larry's voice came from across the phone.

"Larry, please pick up Zian at his school! After that take him to campus because I can't pick him up and I'm afraid he'll be waiting a long time!".

"It just so happens that I don't have anything to do, then I will leave now!".

"Thank you, Larry!"

After finishing talking to Sophia, Larry immediately left his room.

"Boss, where are you going?" Jennifer asked, peering at Larry through her dark glasses.

Larry forgot that he had an appointment with Jennifer to discuss work.

"We'll talk later because I have to pick up Zian". Said Larry hastily.

"Just say it now because I have shooting until this afternoon". Jennifer said.

Larry took a deep breath. "Look, there's a new ad project from W Group and they asked you and Tsania to be models, but the shooting is in England. So, prepare yourself and please tell Tsaniya to meet me this afternoon, and tell your Manager to pick up the contract at the W Group office".

After saying it all succinctly and clearly, Larry immediately left because he was pressed for time. 

Meanwhile, Jennifer smiled hearing that she had a project in England. 

If he was shooting in England, then she could definitely meet Charles.

Actually, the ad was not only from the W group but a collaboration with Charles' company. Michael deliberately asked Jennifer to get involved to help Charles who might not be able to contain his longing. 

After thinking about that pleasant thing, Jennifer immediately went to her Manager's room with a happy smile. 

It didn't take long for Larry to arrive at Zian's school.

However, Larry was getting worried when the security guard said that Zian was not at school.

Larry immediately called Mrs. Anggi to ask about Zian.

However, Zian had not yet returned, so Larry panicked even more.

"Zian, where are you? Could he be walking around here?". Larry thought while glancing in various directions.

After being busy with his thoughts, Larry glanced at the park not far from the school. He immediately headed for the park because he suspected that Zian was there. 

While Larry was out looking for Zian, he accidentally bumped into a boy who was about 3 to four years old. Larry's pants were also hit by the ice cream that the boy was holding.

"Ah...". The little boy groaned because his butt hurt after falling.

Larry was surprised, he immediately crouched down and helped the little boy up.

"I'm sorry! Are you okay little boy?". Asked Larry with a guilty expression.

The little boy looked at Larry sadly.

"Sick...". Said the little boy in a language that is not too clear.

"Which one hurts?". Larry asked as he looked at the small body anxiously.

"My ass hurts, and my ice cream falls...". The little boy replied with a frown. 

Larry couldn't help but laugh at the little boy's adorable expression. Although he had difficulty translating the words, Larry managed to understand the little boy's intentions.

"In exchange, how about I buy you a lot of ice cream?"

Hearing Larry's offer, the little boy jumped up and down for joy until he forgot the pain in his ass.

Smiling, Larry picked up the little boy and took him to buy ice cream not far from the park.

After that, he and the little boy sat in the garden. 

"Uncle...".

Larry turned towards the source of the voice, immediately he smiled broadly when he saw the Zian he was looking for was behind him. 

"Zian, where have you been? Uncle is tired of looking for you?". Asked Larry anxiously.

Ignoring Larry's question, Zian sat down next to the little boy who was eating his ice cream cutely.

"Hi, who are you?". Zian asked.

The little boy who was busy eating ice cream immediately glanced at Zian who looked at him strangely.

"Ley Mahesa, just call me Ley! Whose brother?". Ley asked in unclear language.

"My name is Zian..." 

Ley smiled while sticking out his ice cream, he then asked. "Would you like some ice cream?"

Zian shook his head.

"My name is Zian, not Cian...". Said Zian trying to correct the pronunciation of his name.

Ley looked at Zian meaningfully. "Yes, Cian...".

Zian frowned in exasperation because he was starting to understand that Ley was still a child so his pronunciation wasn't correct.

Hearing the two small children talking, Larry chuckled because he really couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zian's expression that looked so annoyed, while Ley was so innocent and funny.

Right at that moment, Larry remembered that Sophia had called him earlier and asked him to immediately take Zian to campus. 

But Larry couldn't bear to leave Ley alone.

"Ley, where is your mother?" Asked Larry.

Ley immediately glanced at Larry, with a smudged mouth, Ley answered. "My mom left and hasn't come back yet. But, my mom will pick me up here so I'm waiting for her here".

Larry frowned because he didn't quite understand what he was saying. Larry really did not understand the language that is not clear.

"Where did your mother go?". Zian glanced at his uncle who looked confused, his expression became complicated, Zian spontaneously took over because he quite understood what Ley was saying.

"My mother went far...". Ley replied sadly.

"What about your father?". Asked Larry.

"My father". Ley seemed to think for a moment. 

"Auntie said, my father also went far to treat people". Ley said again.

"So your father is a doctor?" Zian asked who was getting curious about Ley.

With enthusiasm, Ley immediately nodded. "That's what my mom said, my father was a great doctor. But, Ley never met and saw his face".

Larry became interested in knowing his identity.

How could a parent leave a child as cute as Ley and let him roam alone in the park, and what's even weirder is how come he never met his father?

Actually, Ley's house was not far from the park. Ley left without his aunt's knowledge because he overheard his mother and aunt's conversation saying that they would meet in the park.

Impatient, Ley ran outside without telling his aunt. 

Larry felt sorry for Ley, he looked closely at his face. Ley also returned Larry's gaze.

Just then, Larry had a strange feeling and suddenly he felt startled because he remembered something.

"That look seems familiar to me, and why do I feel like I'm looking in the mirror at this child? Why did I just wake up, or is this just my mind?". Larry thought.

After thinking, Larry turned to Zian and tried to confirm what he just thought.

If Zian also said the same thing that meant he wasn't wrong.

"Zian, take a look at the faces of this uncle and little boy! Is there a resemblance?". Asked Larry nervously.

Zian immediately noticed Larry and Ley at the same time.

"Uncle does look a lot like him." 

Hearing Zian's answer, Larry was immediately surprised and shocked.

As a doctor he knew very well the concept of genes, how could there be a child who looked like him without having blood ties, he also had complicated feelings when he saw the little boy.

"Ley Mahesa... Where are you dear? Mama has come".

The three of them heard a woman's voice in the distance. 

"I think it's your mother's voice," Larry said as he looked at Ley.

Ley looked gently at Larry, instantly his eyes sparkling like diamonds made Larry feel an increasingly strange feeling.
