Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Leighton hesitated to share these thoughts with Nicole.

It was mainly because during their previous "relationship" publicity stunt, Nicole unintentionally bumped into his family while they were together.

Except for his cousins, no one else in his family knew that their relationship was a charade.

They were ecstatic to see Nicole and insisted on treating her to meals.

Despite Nicole's tough demeanor around him, she knew exactly how to act around elders.

She addressed them as grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt, melting everyone's hearts.

Even his father, who typically disapproved of entertainment industry stars, seemed to approve of her, silently expressing, "You've done well, kid, finding such a beautiful and remarkable partner." Nicole's behavior made Leighton question if his previous perceptions of her were biased or exaggerated.

But after they finished eating, she surprised him in the car, saying, "Didn't realize you're such a mommy's boy, needing your mom to clean your fish for you." "Mommy's boy" were the two words Leighton despised the most.
