It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife! - Chapter 291

"Give Ian the phone," Ramon said, then a moment later Ian's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Make sure you don't mess up this plan."

Ian groaned when he heard what Ramon said. Should he say it directly like that at a time like this? "I wouldn't be that stupid," Ian grumbled.

"I hope you are not stupid."

After saying that, Ramon hung up the phone, leaving Ian to curse the man in annoyance for not giving him a chance to get back at him.

As time went on, this man was becoming more and more annoying, but there was nothing Ian could do, because after all, he owed Ramon his life, as well as his younger sister.

Lis felt a jolt of fear in heart when she saw Leon's figure in the crowd of guests.

What was he doing here? But, the most appropriate question should be, how did he get here?

Lis had no recollection of ever inviting this man or extending any extra invitations to the Dawsons.

Lis had made sure that only Giana and her partner came, because according to the intel she had, Dawson's company was now under that woman's control.

But, to see Leon among the crowd of guests…

Lis couldn't say that this was a pleasant surprise.

Very gracefully and elegantly, Lis walked over to Leon, who seemed to be enjoying his wine alone. His eyes scoured the room and it seemed that Lis knew who this man was looking for.

"What are you doing here?" asked Lis sharply, but it was not at all visible from the expression on her face, which was adorned with a sweet smile. People who saw her now would think that Lis was just welcoming guests in a friendly manner like she should as one of the hosts of the event.

On the other hand, Leon also didn't show any surprised expression, he smiled back at Lis and said quietly. "Where is he? Can you call him over for me?"

"I don't know who you are referring to," Lis said angrily. Of course, she knew who Leon wanted to meet and Lis was not sure if this was the right time to bring the two of them together.

"Oh, Lis, stop being like that, you know who I mean." Leon then put down his empty wine glass and took another one from the waiter who was walking around. "I can only see him from afar, but I think you have raised him well and I am very proud of him as a father."

"Shut your mouth," Lis growled. "Others can hear this conversation." Lis looked around her warily, making sure that no one else was close enough to them and capable of eavesdropping on the conversation between the two of them. "Are you drunk?"

Leon chuckled when he heard her. "Of course a few glasses of wine won't knock me down Lis, I just miss my son."

"Stop saying that," Lis warned Leon angrily. She didn't know what Leon's purpose in coming to this party was, but if he was going to make a fuss and say something bad, then Lis wouldn't just sit back and let Leon mess around at an event like this.

As if he could understand what was going on in Lis's mind, Leon said calmly. "You don't have to worry, I am not that crazy to make a mess at your company party. I just came to see my son and have a word or two with him. It's not that toilsome, is it?"

Lis gritted her teeth, she was still trying to smile so that those around them who saw her wouldn't suspect anything, but it was hard when she thought what if Ramon saw Leon in this place, Lis couldn't imagine what would happen.

These two men were hard to predict, especially since Ramon already knew Leon's special identity.

Leon took another glass of wine and handed it to Lis, which she couldn't help but accept. "Look for Lexus, I just wanted to say hi for a moment." This time Leon's voice sounded softer and more sincere.

He really just wanted to talk to his son, was that a difficult thing to be asked for?

"You are just going to say hello," Lis had to emphasize this. "You won't talk about unnecessary things and after that, you will be leaving the party."

Leon raised his hands in surrender. "I will leave immediately after greeting him and asking the weather today."

Lis didn't find the joke funny at all. "Ramon already knows who you are and he will be here soon, so I hope you will leave before then."

After sharing the information, Lis walked away to call Lexus, the last time she saw her second son was when he was in the crowd of women who admired him.

Meanwhile, Leon was muttering to himself. "He already knows my existence? In that case, it will become even more interesting."

================ 

"Who is this person?" asked Lexus. He was frowning a little because his mother suddenly came over when he was enjoying being the center of the attention of some beautiful women. "Can't you see I am busy?" he asked.

"Busy?" Liz glared. "All you do is spread charm here and there, I will let you be in the circle of those women if you choose one to take home and introduce to me for you to marry," Lis grumbled.

Lexus who heard these words could only shudder in horror. "You must be joking, I still want to enjoy my youth and won't get married any time soon."

Lis growled and mumbled her annoyance in incoherent sentences. Lexus suspected that his mother was now cursing and muttering harsh words.

"Shut up and just follow me," Lis grumbled.

"I've been following you for a long time," protested Lexus. What was he doing now except following his mother into the middle of the great hall? "Who is this person?" asked Lexus again.

"He is the first son of the Dawson family," Lis replied curtly. Her body stiffened when she saw Leon, still standing in the same place and staring enthusiastically at Lexus.

Lis really didn't know what to say, feelings of regret and shame overcame her. When she thought about what she had done and how she had ruined her own life, she feared being unable to face Lexus or Ramon.

"Oh, I think I know his name… but I forgot. He was the main heir to the Dawson family, but disappeared decades ago, didn't he?" Not many people knew about this and Lexus should be proud of himself because he knew it. Ramon had said this in passing, before he had an accident.

"Yes," answered Lis curtly without any desire to explain further. "When you meet him, say hello to him and leave. There's no need to have a long chat with him."

Lexus frowned. Why was his mother being so weird? Lis had forced himself to meet this man, but after meeting, Lexus must leave immediately and couldn't continue chatting?

However, before Lexus could ask about the weirdness, they had arrived before the man named Leon and before Lexus could greet him, the man had rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"You're a big boy now," Leon said.
