Fierce Daddy: His Million-Dollar Sweetheart
Chapter 562: Meeting the Dowager Lady
CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 562: MEETING THE DOWAGER LADY
"Daddy didn’t bully him, just thought that a grown man staying in our house to look after your mommy is very inappropriate." Leon Keane said to Timmy Monroe: "Daddy knows that foreigners are very open-minded, but there’s an ancient saying in China that goes ’men and women should not touch each other casually,’ which means that aside from a husband, unrelated people of the opposite sex should not interact freely."
Is that so?
Timmy tilted his little head, but Uncle Rhodes isn’t a man, she’s a woman!
Ivana Monroe almost wanted to roll her eyes at Leon Keane, who said Fawn Rhodes was a man?
Ian Keane was extremely embarrassed and couldn’t help but say: "Daddy, she’s a woman."
He figured it out, yet Daddy still hasn’t.
Leon Keane was stunned, a bit incredulous, and looked at Fawn Rhodes, no matter how he looked she seemed like a scruffy boy, not at all like a woman.
Fawn Rhodes was quite dissatisfied with Ian Keane, shouting at him: "You little rascal, how can you talk like that? I am your Uncle Rhodes, not just some guy."
Fawn Rhodes found Leon Keane watching her, and she puckered her lips helplessly: "Why are you so jealous! Turns out you’ve always thought of me as a man."
Leon Keane frowned and checked Fawn Rhodes’ neck, sure enough, no Adam’s apple; she was definitely a woman.
Leon Keane said with disdain: "Always dressing up like a tomboy, who knows if you have any peculiar hobbies? Honey, for your and the baby’s wellbeing, we cannot let her stay here."
Fawn Rhodes was about to explode: "Who has peculiar hobbies? Who? Leon Keane, you are too much."
Leon Keane sneered: "If you don’t have peculiar hobbies, dress up like a woman, don’t parade around with short male hair and men’s clothes pretending to be something you’re not."
"I don’t, I just like dressing this way, does it bother you? Leon Keane... You’re just a jealous freak, don’t even deny it."
"Someone, throw this ambiguous person out for me."
Leon Keane’s handsome face darkened as he spoke to the bodyguard.
Fawn Rhodes shuddered; this man was so petty, unable to argue back he calls a bodyguard?
"No one touches her."
Ivana Monroe shouted at the bodyguard.
She stood up and looked seriously at Leon Keane: "Do you know who sent people to kidnap me?"
Leon Keane pursed his thin lips and didn’t say a word.
Ivana Monroe took a deep breath, really unwilling to expose the filthy deeds of Mrs. Keane in front of Leon Keane, that’s his mother, it might be difficult for him to accept.
She didn’t want him to be bothered.
Ivana Monroe struggled for a moment in her heart, seeing Leon Keane stay silent and normal-looking, her heart skipped; did Leon Keane know already?
Ivana Monroe’s lips pulled into a bitter smile, she didn’t know what Leon Keane planned to do after knowing the truth. He never said a word to her, even when she brought it up he didn’t follow up.
After all, it’s mother!
Timmy Monroe cried out: "Who is it? Daddy, you can’t let the bad person hurt mommy get away with it."
Ian Keane said with a cold little face: "I will not allow anyone who hurt my mommy to walk away scot-free, he should receive severe punishment."
Ivana Monroe heard the words of the two kids, and her heart instantly softened.
"You know, in my most dangerous and helpless moment, Fawn Rhodes barged in to save me, she even nearly got herself into serious trouble for my sake... do you know what that means for a woman?"
Ivana Monroe ultimately didn’t expose Mrs. Keane in front of the kids, not because she wanted to repay evil with kindness, but she didn’t want the kids to know they had such a vicious grandmother.
She didn’t want the wrongs of Mrs. Keane to taint the kids’ hearts.
Leon Keane felt very guilty, he couldn’t imagine in Ivana Monroe’s most dangerous, most helpless moment, how scared she must have been inside?
"Honey, I’m sorry."
"You shouldn’t say sorry to me, you should say it to Fawn Rhodes." Those people were all sent by Mrs. Keane, nearly made Fawn lose the most important things, Ivana Monroe still shivers with fear when she thinks about the things that happened in the prison.
"Oh~ No, no need, saving Ivana was my duty, Leon Keane, as long as you don’t kick me out and let me stay to take care of Ivana, I’ll be satisfied." Fawn Rhodes waved her hand, not wanting Leon Keane to apologize, if he did apologize, there would be a reason to kick her out! Better to keep this favor, let her comfortably stay by Ivana’s side.
Ivana being pregnant, she must take care of it, Leon Keane, a grown man, that scar on his face is from a burn right? He can’t even take care of himself, how can he take care of Ivana?
Leon Keane looked at Fawn Rhodes, this time without hostility in his eyes, replaced by gratitude: "Thank you for what you did that day, I’ve already transferred a sum to your account."
Fawn Rhodes: "..."
No way? So quickly? But hold on! She seems to never have told Leon Keane her account number, how did Leon Keane know?
That’s bizarre!
"Well, no, I don’t want the money, I want to stay."
"Suit yourself."
With one sentence from Leon Keane, Fawn Rhodes was overjoyed, that man isn’t that petty after all! He just cares too much about Ivana.
Fawn Rhodes took out her phone, checked her account, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Ten million.
Leon Keane actually transferred ten million to her account.
Wow~
She’s rich.
After dinner, Ivana Monroe received a call from the Kane’s old mansion.
It was a nanny calling, saying that the grand lady misses the two young masters, asking her to bring them over the next day.
The nanny also said, told her not to inform Leon Keane because the grand lady had bought mysterious gifts for the two little guys, quite valuable, Leon Keane doesn’t allow the kids to accept gifts from the grand lady, so she was told not to say anything, just quietly take the kids over.
"Okay."
Ivana Monroe hung up the phone, found it a bit odd, but quickly shook her head, if Mrs. Keane wanted to harm her, it wouldn’t be at the Kane’s old mansion, she would choose another place.
She was overthinking it.
The next day.
Ivana Monroe spoke nothing to Leon Keane, once he left, she took the two kids and prepared to go to the Kane’s old mansion.
"Ivana, where are you going?" Fawn Rhodes asked.
"Taking the kids to see the grandmother, the old lady misses them."
"I’ll go with you, you’re pregnant now, I must be by your side to take care of you."
"No need, I’m not that fragile."
"No matter what, I won’t be at ease if I’m not by your side."
Fawn Rhodes insisted on going with Ivana Monroe, Ivana could only agree.
The driver took the four to the Kane’s old mansion.
Fawn Rhodes got out first, very "gentlemanly" extended a hand to help Ivana Monroe out.
Ivana Monroe smiled at her: "Only pregnant, you’re being overly cautious."
Fawn Rhodes winked at Ivana Monroe: "I’m the kid’s aunt, of course, I should take care of you all."
Fawn Rhodes wouldn’t refer to herself as an uncle, afraid of misunderstandings, it’s the Kane’s old mansion here, inside lives two elders, in such a mansion, there’d surely be gossiping servants.
