Chapter 138: Chapter 138

Chapter 138 “What?”

Bright and I looked at each other and gaped, this sudden shock was too much to process for us. My brain completely refused to accept this scenario, taking it as a figment of my imagination. Leo, the biggest troublemaker, couldn’t act all grown–up and sensible suddenly. His statement nearly gave me a heart attack.

“Laura is a free woman. She has the right to choose whatever she thinks is good for her life.

As her ex–husband, I respect her choices and wish her all the best for her future ...”

This one eighty–degree turn in Leo’s personality kept me awake all night long, I was unable to decipher the true meaning of his seemingly simple declaration. He had moved on, wishing me good luck, it was the best–case scenario I always prayed for.

But now, when it finally happened, my gut feeling hinted that something was definitely amiss. There was a dark secret concealing the actual message of this announcement.

So, until the next sunrise, I reached the conclusion.

“I will meet Leo in person to clarify everything. If he has truly decided to be a noble man, I will discuss Zoe’s custody with him.

A one–on–one meeting will surely reveal his true intentions.”

In the morning. I notified Echo to free my schedule in lunch break for a personal errand; however, my doorbell rang to shake my world with a mind–blowing shock.

As I was busy getting ready for the office, the butler opened the door and received an unanticipated guest.

“Zoe!

How did you come here alone?”

“Zoe?”

Dressed in his night pajamas, Zoe was standing with his school bag on his shoulder, the butler was holding his suitcase. He shifted his weight from one foot to another, uncomfortable with the perplexing situation.

“Dad has sent me here with the driver. He said that from now on, I will live with you.”

Oh, my goodness!

This was really too much!

My entire world spun on its axis, sparking my brain cells to cause a short circuit. I barely composed myself and welcomed Zoe with an open heart.

“Come on in, Zoe!

Jane is getting ready for hool. Would you like to have some breakfast with her?”

And immediately dialed Henry’s number.

“Brother, you won’t believe what happened just now!”

I thought that Henry must be in bed, as his office timings were different from mine, but he sounded fresh.

“I have heard about Leo’s video message, Laura!”

“But I have the latest breaking news, brother. Can you believe it? Leo sent Zoe to my Villa willingly.”

He was also amazed by this unexpected development and spoke hurriedly.

“I am in the hospital to check on Melody, Laura Give me ten minutes, I will contact Leo’s assistant for more details.”

Although Henry assured me of a quick report, I couldn’t sit still. I hardly waited for five minutes and called Leo directly.

This recorded message from a cellular company elevated my panic, there was a voice in the back of my head that there was certainly something fishy.

So, I contacted Leo’s assistant next, James spoke withou waiting for my greetings.

“Do you know anything about Mr. Leo, Miss Laura? He is nowhere to be found.
