Chapter 25
Clara was heartbroken as she heard that. She held Leslie’s hand and said tearfully, “Leslie, my poor dear, don’t be sad. A kind and cute boy like you will be blessed.”
Thank you, Clara” Leslie was moved. He thought Clara was so gentle, not like his cold mother. His broken heart was healed. by Clara’s kindness.
Leslie became more outgoing after he met his new friends, Alan and Clara.
After class, the nanny of the Melendez family picked Leslie up.
In the Melendez family.
In a sexy red slip dress, Lacey Melenzdez tucked her hair up with a jeweled hairpin.
She walked downstairs through the spiral stairs gracefully. As the wife of a noble family, she was elegant and gorgeous.
Lacey was young, about twenty–seven or twenty–eight years old.
When Leslie saw Lacey, he trotted into her arms happily.
“Mom, I met two new friends in kindergarten. They are very nice to me. Can I invite them to our home?”
Displeased, Lacey pushed Leslie away.
Leslie was just a weak child. Tears filled his eyes, but he tried his best to hold them back when he was pushed to the ground.
The butler, Bob Frye, hurried over. He helped Leslie up and asked with worry, “Oh, my dear boy, are you alright?”
Lacey was even angrier when she saw Leslie was so fragile.
Her son was so weak, not like the future head of a noble family at all. He’s so unpromising.
Driven by anger, Lacey scolded Leslie.
“You disappointed me, fool! Those kids flatter you and want to make friends with you because they know you are the young master of the Melendez family and want something from your family. You don’t even have to talk to them.”
“Mom, Clara and Alan are not that kind of kids…” Leslie explained aggrievedly.
Alan told Leslie clearly that he didn’t want to have any connections with the Melendez family.
Alan also said he didn’t make friends with Leslie for the Melendez family.
Leslie couldn’t understand why his mother didn’t listen to him and judged his friend like that.
“Leslie! Did you make friends with those lowly people? What a shame! You shouldn’t go to that kindergarten again. I must transfer you to a new kindergarten.” Lacey said coldly.
“No! Mom, please don’t! I finally made two friends. I like that kindergarten. Please don’t do that.” Leslie begged.
With a cold face, Lacey said, “You are the future successor of the Melendez family and the superior nobleman. You must focus on the family business, not anything else. Let me apply for an online Business Administration course for you. What
about that?”
Leslie kept silent and didn’t answer.
His mother always forced him to learn those boring courses which he didn’t like at all.
“Lady, Leslie is just a child. Please don’t be too strict with him.” Bob spoke for Leslie.
With a long face, Lacey cursed Bob, “Who the hell are you? How dare a servant teach me how to rule my son? Get away!”
Bob was in a dilemma. He didn’t want Leslie to get hurt, but meanwhile, he had to respect Lacey, for Lacey was almost the hostess of the family.
Just at this moment, a tall man came into the villa.
“Lacey, Leslie is just a child. You don’t have to frighten him in such a strict tone.” Joshua said unhappily.
“Uncle Joshua, you are finally back!” Leslie rushed into Joshua’s arms as soon as he saw his savior.
Joshua was cold and strict in the workplace, but he was always gentle and kind to his dead brother’s son.
Joshua lifted Leslie and said gently, “Don’t be scared, Leslie. Your mother doesn’t dare to force you because I’ll protect you. Come on Let’s play in my study.”
Leslie hid in Joshua’s arms.
Joshua was strong and muscular. His arms were so safe and warm to Leslie. The warmness from Joshua’s strong body made
Leslie feel comfortable.
Chapter 25
Leslie liked his uncle very much. How he wished he could stay with his uncle forever.
Bob breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Joshua came back in time, or Leslie would suffer a lot. Bob even doubted if Lacey was really Leslie’s mother. Lacey always abused Leslie, which even Bob, a servant, couldn’t stand it.
Walking upstairs with Leslie in his arms, Joshua turned around and said to Lacey coldly, “I’ll take care of Leslie. Don’t
worry.”
Joshua’s face was so perfect. He was like a prince charming from a fairy tale when he stood on the classic spiral staircase. Lacey was in a daze when she looked at Joshua.
This excellent man. Joshua, was charming at any time.
Lacey swallowed.
She was regretful. She shouldn’t have scolded Leslie just now, because it would damage her gentle image in Joshua’s impression.
Leslie was not talented. He was weak and unpromising, but Joshua liked him very much.
All these years, nobody else could be so close to Joshua as Leslie. Joshua even allowed Leslie to enter his study, which was the restricted area of the Melendez family.
Lacey gave a meaningful smile on her face.
In the study.
Joshua put Leslie down and said to him with a smile, “Leslie, remember this. Nobody is allowed to bully you. If your mother scolds you again, just let me know. I will protect you.”
“Thank you, Uncle Joshua, but my mother did it for my own good. Please don’t blame her. In fact, she admires you very much.” Afraid that Joshua would be angry with Lacey, Leslie spoke for his mother as much as he could.
“Oh, you are such a good boy, Leslie.” Joshua touched Leslie’s head.
Six years ago, Joshua’s little brother, Jacques Melendez, died from an accident and left his pregnant wife alone.
That damned woman, Lacey, smoked and drank when she was pregnant. That was why Leslie had been weak since he was
born.
The medical expense to save Leslie’s life was shockingly expensive.
But Leslie was Joshua’s brother’s only child. Joshua must protect Leslie.
Joshua used all the resources and connections of the Melendez family to save Leslie’s life.
Leslie was loved by everyone in the family, but the stupid woman, Lacey, forced Leslie to grow up with unreasonable methods, which annoyed Joshua.
However, Lacey was Jacques‘ wife and Leslie’s mother. Joshua couldn’t expel Lacey from the family.
Leslie didn’t know these complicated relationships in the family. He thought of Alan when he saw Joshua. He said to Joshua excitedly.
“Uncle, I made a new friend in kindergarten. He looks like you so much in terms of both appearance and character. I will introduce him to you when there’s a chance. He’s a good boy, too.”
