Chapter 1087 Dislike (2)

Leah looked at his smile, and her eyes softened.

Just as their tension was starting to ease up a bit, Elliot happened to come into the garden looking for Shawn, only to find him perched on a tree.

He frowned slightly and walked over quickly, pulling Shawn down from the tree.

After he put the little boy down in his arms, he looked at Leah with a cold expression in his eyes.

When he saw the hairband in Leah's hand, he subconsciously thought that she had instructed Shawn to climb the tree and get it for her.

Shawn had always been fragile since childhood. They never let him do anything dangerous. But Leah asked him to climb the tree. Who would take responsibility if something went wrong?

As Elliot thought of this, his temperature dropped again.

"He's not well. How could you let him climb trees? Can you bear the consequences if something happens?"

The little girl was slightly stunned and looked up at her father again with a look of grievance in her big eyes.

"He did it himself. I didn't need him to help me!"

After Leah finished speaking these words plaintively, tears that had been lingering in her eyes finally spilled over uncontrollably.

She clenched her small fists tightly and turned around towards Shawn standing before her, shouting loudly.

"You bad boy! I hate you!"

After yelling this sentence out loud, she threw away the hairband forcefully onto the ground before running away from them both.

Standing next to Elliot now was Shawn watching as Leah ran off into distance; his lips pursed tightly while an expression of shock mixed with heartache filled his eyes.

After a while, he mustered up some courage turning back towards Elliot and explaining himself, "Dad... it wasn't Leah who asked me to climb trees... I just wanted help bring down that hairband for her because she couldn't reach."

Elliot listened intently as Sean explained everything; His eyes darkened as they rested upon Sean's head which he gently touched.

"I understood... you should go rest first."

Elliot stood there alone, picking up Leah's discarded hairband while a sad expression appeared on his face.

At that moment, he remembered the tears that had just fallen from the little girl's eyes and felt a pang of heartache. He even began to blame himself for scolding her without asking why.

On the other side, Leah went straight back to her room after leaving the garden.

Leah was more convinced than ever that Shawn was intentionally acting like a victim and trying to win favor with their father by making him misunderstand her.

She shouldn't have trusted him in the first place!

Just as she was regretting silently, Rose pushed open the door and walked in. She immediately noticed her daughter's red eyes and tears streaming down her face. Her expression darkened as she hurried over and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, Leah? Are you feeling sick?"

Leah shook her head slightly and didn't say anything while hanging her head down.
