Chapter 100 Another Awkward Atmosphere Seeing Leon, Ralph was caught off guard. He didn't expect Leon to be at Tiffany's place right now.
Leon looked pretty ticked off, his eyes locked on the stuff Ralph was holding. Besides stoys for the kids, there was even a bouquet of flowers.
The living room was dead silent for a bit until Tiffany cleared her throat to break the ice. "Ralph, have a seat. I'll make stea." "Sure," Ralph said, smiling at Tiffany as he put the stuff down and settled on the couch.
Leon then plopped down next to Ralph and took a sip from the teacup on the table. The silent stare-down between the two guys was so intense that even the kids could feel it.
Tiffany soon cback with another cup of tea and handed it to Ralph. She felt super uneasy with both Ralph and Leon staring at her.
"I'll go mop the floor. You guys enjoy the tea," Tiffany said, trying to escape. But to her surprise, both Leon and Ralph stood up at the stime, each grabbing one of her hands and saying together, "I'll help." Tiffany felt a chill run down her spine and sighed.
Ralph found it funny and shot Leon a sarcastic look. "Mr. Cooper, you probably don't do this kind of stuff at home, right? Don't waste Tiffany's time. I'll help instead!" Leon, not backing down, shot back with a cold glare. "That's none of your business. An outsider like you should stay out of this." Leon was basically telling Ralph to butt out of their family matters. After all, besides Ralph, they were a family of five.
The kids exchanged surprised looks, impressed by Leon's comeback.

"Actually, there are sweeds in the backyard..." Before Tiffany could finish, Ralph quickly headed to the spot she pointed out.
Leon watched Ralph with a dark expression, his eyes full of resentment.
Tiffany quickly pulled her hand away from Leon's grip and went to the bathroom to get the mop.
However, the next second, Leon cover, grabbed the mop from Tiffany's hand, and gently pushed her aside. "You go hang out with the kids. I'll mop the living room." Tiffany was stunned. She thought Leon's offer to help mop the floor was just to argue with Ralph.
When Leon bent down to mop the floor, she couldn't believe it; he had never done something like this before.
The kids took the chance to pull Tiffany away, with Sam even praising Leon. "Mommy, look how serious Daddy is. From now on, you can leave the housework to Daddy and just relax." Tiffany smiled but didn't say anything. She thought Leon's actions were just to win her over and seek reconciliation. But Tiffany couldn't be sure that if she forgave Leon and remarried him, he would keep acting this way.
Tiffany decided to let it go and just focus on playing with the kids.
The morning flew by. Leon and Ralph kept busy, trying to outdo each other with even the smallest tasks.

Feeling awkward under their watchful eyes and running out of chores, Tiffany finally spoke up. "Don't you guys have anything to do? Why are you wasting there?" She smiled wryly, hoping to get rid of them.
Just then, Ralph rubbed his stomach and said, "Tiffany, after all this housework, I'm a bit hungry. It's almost lunchtime. How about I take you and the kids out to eat?" Not to be outdone, Leon immediately made a phone call. "Get the VIP room ready at the winery. I'll be bringing speople over for lunch." Tiffany was stunned that they were even competing over lunch. Feeling overwhelmed, she decided they'd eat at hinstead.
"I'll wash the veggies," Leon said, heading straight to the kitchen and tossing the vegetables into the sink.
"I'll handle the main course," Ralph added, following him into the kitchen.
Tiffany was on the verge of tears. These two were impossible to get rid of.
Sam tugged at Tiffany's hand, his eyes on Leon and Ralph in the kitchen. "Mommy, it looks like that guy is really serious about you. Are you going to be with him?" Tiffany was momentarily stumped. Although she had agreed to let Ralph pursue her, she never intended to accept his feelings.
"No, I don't like him," she said, ruffling Sam's hair.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam sighed in relief. "Good.
Otherwise, all of Daddy's efforts would be for nothing."Flora hugged Tiffany's leg and swayed gently.
"Mommy, what about Daddy? Is he different now? Will you like him again?" Flora's question was what all three kids were wondering.
This time, Tiffany really didn't know what to say. She cupped Flora's face and gently pinched Kerface "Flora, Mommy needs to think about it. I haven't completely gotten over what happened with Daddy before." "I understand, Mommy. As long as you're happy, I'll always be with you." Flora snuggled up to Tiffany, and Sam and Barry joined in, making for a sweet family moment.
Meanwhile, the two men in the kitchen had finished the prep work but were clueless about cooking.
Tiffany released the kids, walked into the kitchen, and put on an apron.
"I'll help," Leon and Ralph said in unison, trying to follow her in.
Not wanting to be disturbed, Tiffany blocked them at the door. "It's okay, I can cook by myself. No need to help me." With that, she shut the kitchen door, leaving the two men outside.
They accidentally made eye contact, glared at each other, and walked away with cold expressions.
