Supreme Mars

Emilia's crying ripped Lydia's heart apart. Her body was also shivering uncontrollably.

Leo also stood there like a chump, not daring to move his legs at all.

He could clearly feel the little girl's convulsive sobs, which deeply touched his heart.

He took a deep breath, turned around, and picked up Emilia carefully, then assured her, "Don't cry, Emilia. I'm not leaving."

"I heard you guys. Mom asked you to leave." Emilia was still crying sadly. "Bad Mom. You're a bad mother..."

Leo and Lydia gasped as soon as they heard this accusation.

Leo hugged Emilia at once and explained hurriedly, "It's not your mom's fault. She isn't a bad mother. I'm the bad guy. I'm the one who put you and your mother through a lot..."

The anger on Lydia’s face vanished instantly as well, being replaced by a mixed feeling of anxiety.

Both Leo and Lydia could not stand to see their daughter cry.

Lydia walked over immediately, coaxing Emilia in a soft voice, "I won't drive Dad away anymore. I'm just... mad... at him for leaving without saying goodbye and leaving us behind."

Thinking back to the painful days when she was pregnant with Emilia and the tears she shed every night, the rims of her eyes reddened again as tears rolled down her cheeks.

If people in the International Commerce Center saw her now, their jaws would drop for sure. They would be surprised by the fact that the normally strong-minded, unapproachable Lydia Henderson would get emotional and show her true feelings.

Leo remained silent for a moment and finally said, "I'm sorry."

Other than that, he really did not know what else to say.

Lydia did not reply. She took Emilia from Leo and continued to coax her patiently.
