Leoâs snide remarks hung invisible tension in the room, making us look at him. The kids were happy with Bright, but suddenly, Leo had spoiled their fun with his bitter words.
He didnât stop at it and continued with his previous statement.
âI think parents should stop hiring jokers and come up with a permanent solution to tackle their kids.
It isnât safe to trust strangers.â
Oh, really?
The only thickâskinned jerk in the room was Leo himself, it would be better to send him to an institution to teach him how to talk in a disciplined way.
With such manners, he expected to be the role model of my daughter. I would never let him destroy my daughterâs future. I had done my best to make her a polite and courteous little girl.
Distraught by his interference, I was about to give him a piece of mind when Henry entered the room, he raised his brows.
âWhy is everyone silent?â
His query was directed towards Bright, who remained silent instead of defending himself and spoke.
âWell, civilized people know how and where to behave politely and stay silent.
But I donât mind sharing my views because of Leoâs impressive example.â
Leo was visibly disturbed to see Henry as if a party pooper had ruined his fun. Perhaps, he came with the expectations of bullying Bright and easily got away with it as he wasnât a contemptuous person.
But Henry was out of syllabus for his exam. My brother didnât regard Leoâs delicate ego.
thrashed it at once.
and Chapter 111 âI think jokers are better than snakes around u Leo. At least, they love kids, whether they are their own or not.
But unfortunately, snakes donât feel any love for their blood.â
Henryâs eyes were red with concealed fury as he let out his years of resentment, pointing his finger at Leo.
his âI have heard that a snakeâlike person asked his wife to k child when she told him about her pregnancy.
Isnât it bad, Mr. Leo? Shouldnât we keep our kids away from such a man?
After all, a person who is hostile towards his own child canât be trusted whatsoever!â
All the blood was drained from Leoâs face at once, becoming pale like the hospital room, his lips parted in a silent surprise.
My brother took advantage of this perfect moment and showed him the mirror of reality. After abandoning his child five years ago, Leo had no right to call him my daughterâs father. He didnât want a child from me, even when I was married to him.
Then how come he became a loving father now? What changed?
Henry meticulously saved us from Leoâs razorâsharp tongue and revealed his intentions, killing two birds with one stone. He was flustered to hear about his extraordinary conduct.
Given the circumstances, it was enough to shame Leo and shut his nonsense permanently; however, Henry had some more cards to outclass him. It was like he made up his mind to settle all the scores today.
âAs you mentioned parents, Leo. Letâs talk about Zoeâs mother. Where is she?
Donât you think Melody should be here to look after her family?â
Henry deliberately brought up the topic of Melody, Leoâs lover, who had been with him for the previous five years. It was weird that he still didnât bail her out of the prison, they were equal partners in crimes. More precisely, if he didnât allow her, Melody could never have attacked me in the past.
My brother wanted to give Leo a reminder that e had a family as well, and I would never consider going back to him. He was asking mor questions about Melody, but the darkness of grief overshadowing Zoeâs innocence ended this squabble for me. I spoke up.
Zoe, your dad is here. What about 1 pack some snacks for you so that you can enjoy them later?â
Bright bought two bags full of juice boxes and snacks for Jane, so a goodie bag for Zoe wouldnât make a dent in the stockpile.
Just like a kid, Zoe was distracted by candies and chocolates, he sincerely thanked Bright.
you, uncle. I love candy.â
âThank you, Bright gently patted Zoeâs head and smiled in response.
âAny time, Zoe. But donât eat all the candies in one sitting. You can take one piece a day.â
Bright then taught him that candies could cause cavities, asking him to be patient. That was when Leo raised his voice after a long silence.
âExcuse me, Laura. Can I have a word with you in private?â
In a short time, he composed himself, returning to his cold, aloof look. I didnât mind listening to him and went to the adjacent empty room.
âTake a look at it, Laura!â
He took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to me.
âThis is my lawyerâs suggestion for the next course of action after the DNA test.
As it has been proven that Jane is my daughter, want to be a part of her life. I have already missed it so much. So, H He left his sentence incomplete, letting me read that notice. A chill ran down my spine to read the options.
âCustody battle in court, weekly visits, or shared custody.â
