Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 47: Quickened Heartbeat
He smirked and, in a light tone, started, "By the way."
...
As soon as Leonard spoke, Rosamond and Nathan's eyes left Sharon and turned to him.
Puvis also paused and turned to look at Leonard. "Oh, spit it out. Don't dawdle."
Rosamond looked at Puvis with displeasure and murmured, "Dad, why are you being so mean to Leonard?"
"I-I'm not! He's just speaking too slow." Puvis protested.
"You know you are," Rosamond muttered under her breath.
Puvis said nothing.
"I'm used to it, Mum."
Just when Rosamond hadn't intended to say anything else, Leonard voiced out innocently and pitifully.
Puvis's jaw clenched, and he glared fiercely at Leonard.
"Dad, Leonard's all grown up now, but you're still so harsh with him. Can't you just care for him a little more?" Rosamond asked Puvis, her heart aching for her son.
Puvis tried not to roll his eyes when he saw Rosamond looking as if he had tortured Leonard. He bit his tongue so that Rosamond wouldn't continue yapping.
Puvis looked at Leonard and humphed. "Just spit it out!"
He gritted his teeth silently and thought, "Bastard! Is it not enough to trick those in the black market? He even tries it on me now!"
...
Leonard cut Rosamond off before she said anything else, "We haven't decided on who to walk Sharon in for the banquet."
Leonard's words immediately soothed Puvis's ruffled feathers. Leonard raised an eyebrow and asked, "Grandpa, who do you think should do it?"
"Of course it's me!" Puvis thought.
...
But, aloud, he answered, "It must be an elder from our family. You, Rosamond, and your father are all suitable."
Puvis had mentioned everyone present except for himself.
However, Nathan and Rosamond immediately frowned at the mention of them.
Leonard caught their expressions, and his playful expression returned to normal. He calmly turned to Sharon and asked, "Sharon, who will you choose?"
With that, everyone's gaze turned back to her.
...
But Sharon was not as uncomfortable as last time, instead accepting their gazes with pursed lips.
"Sharon, who do you want to walk you in?" Puvis looked at her eagerly. He was obviously waiting for Sharon to choose him.
Sharon glanced at Nathan and Rosamond, who immediately averted their eyes. It was plain as day that they did not want to be chosen.
