That was one of Brightâs distinctive characteristics that he never lost his calms Hobing every ste with maturity. I admired him for his ability to navigate through challenges Instead of keeping it to him, he came to to question me directly, however, his fie query raced my heart.
âWhy didnât you tell me about Leoâs daily meetings with Jane, Laura?
It came to my notice that you are aware of his performance in a manâs cost me outside her school!â
Shoot!
Zoeâs complicated issue slipped this important information from my mind, I donât inform Bright or Henry. But now, it became a dilemma as Bright fired off multiple questions in quick succession.
âWhen did you find out about Leoâs visits?
As a drug addict in rehab, he was skipping group discussions to sneak out and ear a mascot in public.
Did yet inform the authorities, Laura? What did you do to protect Jane from him?â
Brightâs intense glare was the same as an officer in an investigation rooms, piercing into my soul to unveil my deepest secrets.
My brain swiftly closed hs services and jumped out of the window right in front of my eyes, leaving me aghast, I was helplessly stuck in this awkward situation âHow do you know about Leo?â
I blurted out, instantly regretting my reply, the horizontal lines of fury deepened on Brightâs forehead as he dug his nails on the sofa painfully.
âAmong all my queries, you only noticed that I know about this incident.
Oh my gosh!
Laura, please be serious Despite his vexation, he got up and offered me a glass of water, behaving like true gentleman. Thanks to his help. I was better after a moment to catch up with him.
I see Leo outside Janeâs school, but it wasnât offensive at all. He was there to see his daughter.â
Tirstly, I did s The scenes of Leoâs cheerful dance and then the sense of security on Janeâs fac Dashed across my mind. I was indeed indebted to Leu now.
âAlthough I was picking up and dropping Jane for her safety, Leo chased off her bullies in person, protecting his child.
I didnât find it wrong that he wishes to perform his fatherly duties.
He also promised to take his medicines and follow doctors words only for Jangs sake.
Topenly advocated for Leo as my little girlâs father, Bright kept frowning, clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly. He waited until I was done with my speech and sprinted his eyes.
âWell, thanks for clarification, Laura. It appears that you are good at defendi a drug abuser.â
But t you are missing a point here?
He pointed out the hazards of leaving such patients unattended. According to tum, they could be fatal for the safety of others, especially kids.
But I brushed him off casually, The Black Swanâs Final Revenge Pirouette. The 99th Game Was Mine All Along Chapter 155 âNo, Bright!
Leo isnât like this. He wonât harm his child.â
âOh, reallyâ
Bright raised his brow and snapped at me.
âArenât you too touchy Em: Leo and his son lately, Lauta?
Firstly, you completely ignored Jane for Zoe, and now, you are dismissing my well grounded opinion about Leo, Whatâs the matter, Laura? Is there something I am inissing?
My heart felt like it had been caught in a sudden freeze, each beat was a sharp thud against my chest as Brightâs allegations froze me to my spot. His voice raised an octave as he spat out.
âDonât tell me that you still have feelings for Leo, Laura, You canât be in love with a psycho like him!â
Although Bright wasnât a habitual disputer, he argued with me at length on Lebâs matter, openly expressing his deep unease for our interactions earlier.
I couldnât help but find his concerns gemine and promised to be cautious in the future. His clearâcut queries made me realize that shouldnât soften my resolve for Leo until he was healed as Bright said, âI know you are up for co parenting, allowing your kids to enjoy the bounty of both parents.
But Leo can only make good decisions when he is out of rehab. Then no one w point a finger at you for your clear intentions.â
Just like adults, we resolved our issue through a simple conversation, sharing par contradictions was fruitful to reach a solution that worked for both of us.
We moved on after this discussion, but I couldnât forget it completely. The subtle hints from Brightâs behavior were like daily reminders for me.
Like, he didnât interfere in my schedule, but he asked Jane to tell him about her day daily, specifically questioning about the stranger outside the school. His cold attitude towards Zoe was also a headache.
My adorable baby boy yearned for his dadâs love, and Bright showering Janeth his affection was a visual representation of his dreams. He always tagged along to get a speck of attention from him.
Even Zoe missed my fance when he went out on his business trip and called hi âAre you doing well, Uncle? When will you come back?â
