Chapter 1039 Catch Her (8)

Sean looked coldly at the man in front of him. "I told you, my dad died a long time ago. I never had a father growing up."

The man paused, remembering when the little girl first came to his house and said her father was dead.

Elliot remained silent for a moment before picking up a glass of milk and placing it in front of the little girl. "Don't be sad. I believe if your father were still alive, he would treat you well."

Sean sneered. "Who said I'm sad? I think it's better this way. I'd rather he stay dead forever."

Hearing this, Elliot felt a pain in his chest as he watched the little girl's expression.

He didn't know why, but seeing her like this made him feel sorry for her.

After remaining silent for another moment, Elliot reached out to touch the little girl and comfort her.

But as soon as his hand reached out, she moved away from him.

Elliot pursed his lips and grabbed onto her arm before gently stroking her hair. "You'll become stronger in the future."

Sean didn't avoid his neglectful father's touch but felt even more upset inside.

He had a dad right in front of him who only cared about another woman's son instead of him.

Eventually, after Elliot let go of Sean's arm, he went back to his room alone.

He lay quietly on his bed with closed eyes while memories from earlier that day replayed over and over again in his mind: His neglectful father scolding him for pushing down an innocent child followed by an image of that same child being held by his scumbag dad moments later; then there was also his scumbag dad apologizing to him just now...

An hour later, Rose opened Sean's bedroom door, only to find him curled up on top with tears still glistening at the corners of both eyes.

Rose felt uneasy seeing Sean like this, knowing how much he craved fatherly love and yet his own biological dad continued hurting instead.

But despite feeling heartbroken herself over what happened between them all today, Rose knew deep down that telling Elliot about everything might lead towards her losing custody rights...

She had to get the surveillance footage as soon as possible and leave with her children and brother. According to the plan she made with Sean, they would sneak into Elliot's office tomorrow to steal the footage. She hoped everything would go smoothly.

The next night, Sean returned to Valentin's villa. When he walked in, Valentin was sitting on the couch watching cartoons with Leah. Sean walked into the living room with a calm face and sat at the other end of the couch without expression.

After a few seconds of silence in the living room, Leah asked in surprise, "Sean, why are you back?" Sean looked up at Leah indifferently, his eyes betraying his disappointment that he couldn't hide.

Yesterday's incident at the crocodile pond still had a big impact on him. But right now Leah was completely focused on why he came back suddenly and didn't notice anything wrong with him.
