The Twin Seeds of the Millionaire

Prepare for Wedding

"So, you've asked her about anniversary planning?" Afonso asked about what he ordered in the morning. Magnus answered and nodded. "Yes, right. Mrs Chamber said she would hand it over as soon as possible, and indeed she did not know the company had this tradition, fortunately I had already reminded her of this. But he's been too stressed lately. So I guess he won't have much time to prepare."

"What's stressing him out?"

“It looks like he's looking for his daughter kindergarten.” Magnus has a good memory and he immediately tells the name of the kindergarten that Winnie will aspire to. “Mrs Chamber looks so young, I did not expect her son was old enough to enter kindergarten.”

Afonso's eyebrows initially loosened, for some reason, his eyebrows furrowed again when he heard Magnus' words and his gaze turned grim. As Magnus was talking, Neo suddenly ran from behind and he threw a drawing board at the table in front of Afonso: I want to go to kindergarten.

“Don't be silly, Neo.” Afonso frowned. “The kindergarten environment is too complicated for you, there will be a teacher teaching you at home.”

Hearing his words, Neo exploded and he pushed the stack of documents aside downwards. The documents were strewn across the floor and Magnus was so shocked that he immediately crouched down to retrieve them. Neo then writes something on the drawing board at high speed and again lifts it in front of Afonso: I want to go to the same kindergarten as Zoe.

Afonso frowned more and more and he replied,

"NO." Neo can't talk. The kids at school are still immature and he will definitely be bullied. Sending him to a completely strange environment and letting another accident happen to him while his autism was not yet healed was something he would not do.

However Neo starts shouting furiously and drops all the documents Magnus has just retrieved and piles well onto the floor. Feeling annoyed, he then wrote a few more words on the drawing board: If you don't let me go, I will tell my great-grandfather that you are a bad person, and I want to live with my great-grandfather.

Afonso felt speechless. He placed his hand on his forehead with a feeling of helplessness, while Magnus tried to resist his urge to laugh while crouching on the floor. The ST Group president feels powerless to face his son every day. How can one believe it if they do not witness it themselves? Afonso spoke reluctantly after struggling for quite a while, “Let me consider it for two days first, and don't mess around, okay?”

Neo did not seem satisfied with the answer, but the sound of the door opening spread his objection. “Afonso.” Viola's slim figure was visible and he entered from the outside. He smiled as he stood at the entrance. “Do I bother you? I brought you and little Neo lunch.” Neo shuddered when he heard that sweet voice and he suddenly ran to the next room break while hugging his drawing board. Afonso has just accepted his advice and is not paying much attention to his behaviour.

“Nothing, you can enter.” He glanced at Viola.

“If nothing else, I will leave now, Mr Villares.” After examining the situation, Magnus prepared to leave but was held back by Afonso. "Magnus, please stop everything you're doing that isn't important right now and prepare the wedding planning."

"Wedding?" Magnus confused. "For whom?"

"I." Afonso looked indifferent as if saying something extraordinarily normal, even Viola who was behind Magnus was shocked. "Why Afonso..."

“Do you think I look like someone who would tell a joke like that? But I won't force you, you can tell me if you're reluctant.”

"No, of course not." Viola was very happy. “Just the surprise came too suddenly.”

Afonso seemed displeased, he was still calm with an expressionless expression. “You're right, Neo needs a mother. Other than the housemaid, you are the woman he knows best and no one is better suited to the role than you.”

As he finished his words, a clashing sound rang out. Neo was standing at the entrance of the next break room and the drawing board in his hand fell to the floor. He looked at Afonso in disbelief and with a face suddenly flushed red, then jumped anxiously and angrily on the spot.

"Ney?" Afonso did not understand his sudden behavior and he immediately walked up to him to check on him. "What's wrong? Are your legs hurt?" Neo was worried. He grabbed Afonso's sleeves and shook his head as much. "What's wrong? Are you all right?" Afonso wanted to touch his forehead but he pushed his hand and Afonso lost his balance, falling to the floor. "Neo...."

Neo could not express the anger he wanted to express. He explodes when Afonso says he wants to marry Viola. Feeling that Afonso had deceived him, he was in an angry fashion no matter how Afonso persuaded him. As if he had turned into an angry lion cub, he rushed back to the dugout and destroyed everything he could touch. The break room soon became a mess.

Such a situation has happened many times. Afonso stood at the entrance. Although he was used to it, his heart still hurt. He knew the reason Neo vented his anger was because he was unable to convey what he wanted to convey. He needed to vent his feelings as well, but using such a way to achieve that was not only to hurt others easily, but also himself.

There was no more commotion inside the break room for a long time. Afonso patted the door and said, “Come out, Neo.” Neo used to lock the door from the inside and he refused to open it no matter how Afonso called him. Although the door of the dugout did not have a key from the inside, worried that he would further annoy Neo if he opened the door and entered just like that, Afonso hesitated. "Neo..."

"Let me check it out, Afonso." Viola stood beside him and his eyes were filled with attention. “Neo get along well with me, let me give it a try.” Afonso frowned. Looking at the tightly shut door, he still nodded. Viola then opened the door with a calm expression and said, "It's me, Aunt Viola, little Neo. I'm in." Neo was curled up in the corner of the room. She looked like she had been injected with medicine when she heard the commotion as Viola walked in. He was so frightened that he did not dare to move a single muscle and his eyes bulged in fear.

Viola closed the door and approached her while stepping on the dolls scattered on the floor. His high shadow appeared before him. Neo hugged her while crouching and she shivered. "Little Neo." Viola lowered his voice. “Do not be afraid, this is Aunt Viola.” The room was dark and there were only collapsed lights that gave a dim light to the floor. A sinister soft light was seen in Viola's eyes that threatened the view. "Don't I tell you to be a good boy? How could you just throw things?"

Neo clung his back tightly to the wall with a horrified and helpless look. An episode of unorganized events flashed through his mind and it was all about the evil woman before him. And her father actually wanted a bad woman like her to be his mother. “Neo, still remember my words, right?”
