Chapter 304 - Revenge 305: Dinner I

"You already saw the twins? The saw you?"  Mary's heart is beating too fast from the sudden news.

She is not worried about what Arion feels, but she is worried about what her twins' feel when they saw their father. She knows what her son really feels towards Arion. And she's afraid of the words that he said to Arion.

Aaron will most likely to say something that will hurt Arion and will hurt himself.

"It's my fault, Mary,"  Leonardo spoke. He told Mary that he used Arion's rescue mission and the twins' mission for them to meet. Leonardo apologized to Mary that he hid the truth from her and that he has no intention of hurting her feelings. He just wanted the twins to meet their father first. "Originally, I wanted you to know about Arion when the twins make their report to you. However, I didn't expect Arion to show himself to you right away."

The thought of Arion rushing to ruin the date between Mary and Yun came into Leonardo's mind, that is why he didn't tell Arion about when the date will happen. Unexpectedly, Anna revealed it, and so on and so forth, everything that happened led to this very moment.

Mary sighed. No matter how angry she is right now, she could not have the heart to get angry at Leonardo. Everything that Leonardo has done for her was for her own good, and when he hid the truth about Arion, she knew right away that his intention was for her best.

"It's alright, Leo. I can't really complain to you."

Mike who was listening felt a big disappointment inside of him. He expected Mary to shout and curse at Leonardo, but obviously, that did not happen. "As always, you're too soft on Leonardo. "

Zack nodded in agreement. He also thinks that same as Mike. Everyone in the room never saw Mary get angry at Leonardo. They never have seen them fight either. The only bad thing that happened to them is when they have a disagreement, but in the end, things work out in just five minutes.

"Yeah! When will you get angry at him? Your treatment towards him and us is kind of unfair, you know?!"

~~~

"Do I really have to eat with him on the same table?" Aaron asked. When Leon woke him up and told him that it's time for dinner, Arion's face suddenly appeared in his mind and right away, he already knew that he is going to have dinner with his father.

It will be their first dinner together, but it's not going to be the happiest moment in his life, it's going to be the worst moment of his life. How he wish to go home now. The woman named Claire took away all of his stuff including his sister's. If he had at least one device on him, he could call their family driver to send them back home.

" Look," Leon turns his head to face Aaron and said, "I would like to help you get out of here since you're clearly uncomfortable seeing your father, but unfortunately, I'm not able to help you. The one who is in charge of this house is the lady named Claire. And from what I heard, she's a scary woman, so please, don't make things harder for you and Anna."

Leon's excitement for his boss' reunion with his family has depleted when he saw the expressions that the twins had earlier. Disappointment, anger, and sadness, that was written all over their faces. And that's the same expression he had when he faced his mother.

The only thing he hoped for his boss is to be able to connect with his family. And he would willingly help his boss. After all, that's the only thing he could as repayment for saving his miserable life with his mother.

"Brother, just bear with it for one night, okay? I don't want to hear any more argument during this dinner." Anna said with her voice void with emotion.

Hearing that Aaron can only accept unwillingly. It's obvious that his sister is not feeling happy, and showing how angry he is to his father will only dampen Anna's mood more.

He can only curse one person for making his sister like that. Ever since Leon told them that Kyle knows about their being present, Anna has not been herself usual self. Her expression tells him that she felt that she has been betrayed. Betrayed by someone she gave her heart to.

As they nearing that dining room, the trio heard voices, and those voices were very familiar to their ears. Anna and Aaron rushed towards the dining to make sure that they are not hearing things. And when they saw the people who are present, Anna and Aaron had their eyes wide open from their shock.

"Mom!" They both said at the same time.

Worry suddenly filled their hearts. They know very well how desperate their mother was on searching for their father, and now that their father is present, they worry that their mother might get too emotional.

They plan to tell their mother, but they want to make sure that their mother is ready for the truth.

On Anna's mind, she's blaming herself for revealing that their mother was on a date. If she had not said is, then her father might not have gone and shown himself to her mother. She originally thought that her father would hold himself back from showing himself to her mother, but clearly, that did not happen.

"Kids!" With a happy and relieved expression on her face, Mary stood up and made her way towards her beloved children.

Mary is so glad that her twins are not injured from their mission. When she heard that they went to raid Rolfe Lance's headquarters, and which happens to be partnered up with the Ricci family, Mary's heart started to beat fast, full of worry.

She somehow blames herself for not checking what kind of mission did her twins took. If she had, her twins won't be facing Rolfe and it would also prevent her twins from feeling angry towards Arion.

It's not like she does not want twins to meet their father, but the reason is that the twins are not ready to meet yet. Their fragile is not ready to face the man who left them.

"Are you both okay?" She asked.

Anna and Aaron knows that their mother is not asking about them being alright from the mission, they know that her question is about what they feel right now.

"We are fine, mom," Anna said. "How about you? " Instead of worrying about her and her brother, Anna thinks that her mother should worry about herself more. After all, their mother was the one suffering all this time.
