I Transmigrated as the Antagonists' Mother!

159 A Sense of Crisis

Leon walked up to Vivian and held her hand tightly, hoping to give her some strength.

When he heard the conversation just now, he felt that Vivian had suffered a lot. She did not even have basic freedom, and now she was in danger of being captured and brought back to Sage City.

Vivian smiled at Leon and patted his head. “Don’t worry too much. I’m trying my best to develop the company so that I can compete with that man. As long as we get stronger, it won’t be easy for him to touch me.”

When Leon heard that Vivian had the plan to deal with it, he felt a lot more at ease. He looked at Vivian seriously and said, “Mom, I’ll try my best to protect you too.”

“Okay, baby,” Vivian encouraged with a smile. “Let’s work hard together!”

After the two sides had reached an agreement, Leon and Reginald no longer concealed their dissatisfaction with each other. However, they were just small conflicts, and Frank was there to ease the tension.

Vivian demonstrated to Frank how to roast the vegetables. “The main thing is to constantly brush the vegetables with water, then apply a little oil after they soften, and then brush the sauce I’ve prepared on them.”

Vivian put the first batch of roasted meat on a plate for everyone to taste. Frank blew on it while eating, and gave her a thumbs up. “Delicious!”

Vivian had been roasting the vegetables for more than half an hour. During this time, Leon had been busy massaging her shoulders and waist.

Seeing that Vivian was done, Leon quickly said, ” Mom, hurry and sit at the table under the tree. We all know how to cook now, so we can cook by ourselves.”

Frank and Simon saw the thin layer of sweat on Vivian’s head and quickly echoed, “Aunt Vivian, please sit down and watch us cook.”

“That’s fine,” Vivian said with a smile. “Just look for me if you have any problems.”

Leon sent Vivian to sit under the tree, sending food and drinks once in a while.

Reginald watched as Leon ran back and forth, looking down on him for clinging to his mother like a child who had yet to be weaned. He then mocked, “You won’t even know how to live after you’re separated from your Mom, aren’t you?”

Leon stopped roasting the meat and walked over to Reginald. Frank and Simon quickly stopped him, not allowing them to get any closer.

Although he was blocked, he could still talk. Leon didn’t dare to show weakness and replied, “It’s better than you not having a mother!”

Reginald was also enraged. “Say that again!”

“If you want to hear it, I’ll say it a few more times! It’s better than you…”

Frank knew how important his late aunt was to Reginald, and he was afraid that the situation would get out of hand if Leon said it out loud. He quickly shouted, “All right! Don’t say anymore, are you done!! We’re here on vacation, not to quarrel!”

Frank felt a splitting headache. He frowned and said to Reginald, who had started the fight, “Cousin, what are you doing? You’re being too disrespectful by saying that. Leon and Aunt Vivian are mother and son, and they rely on each other for survival. Naturally, their relationship is better.”

Reginald knew that he had gone too far, but the thought of having to compromise with Vivian made him angry, so he deliberately picked a fight.

Vivian, who was leisurely swinging her rocking chair under the tree, also heard the argument. She quickly got up and walked over to the barbecue grill. “What’s wrong?”

Simon was about to explain, but Leon did not want Vivian to worry, so he cut him off. “It’s nothing. It’s just that everyone likes to eat steak with different ripeness, so we quarreled a little. Hurry and sit under the tree. It’ll be done soon.”

Seeing that no one said anything, Vivian did not interfere. Sometimes, children should solve their own problems. It was not necessarily a good thing for adults to interfere too much. However, she could not just watch her son be bullied and not say anything. So, she replied in a subtle tone, “Then you guys should discuss it properly. Some things are settled once you’ve agreed on them. Have a little more spirit of a coalition. Don’t look for trouble when you feel irritated.”

Vivian gave Reginald a meaningful look, then turned to leave.

Reginald knew that Vivian was trying to remind him to cooperate, so he lowered his eyes and waved Frank’s hand away, continuing to roast his meat.

Seeing that Reginald wasn’t looking for trouble, Leon ignored him.

The rest of the trip to the villa was smooth, and there were no major disputes until Sunday afternoon when they returned home.

After the trip to the hot spring villa, everyone’s life returned to its original track.

Vivian had a deeper sense of crisis after meeting Reginald, and she hoped to speed up the expansion of the group.
