"I will be responsible for you."
Leon promised her word by word, "I won't fail you and our child."
It sounded familiar. Five years ago, he said the same words to Daryl.
Leon remembered that he was the one who cheated Daryl into having a baby, so she was very happy, thinking that they would have a family of three.
Because of that, she gave up her acting career.
Hearing Leon's promise, Candida felt much relieved. But what she didn't know was that at this moment, Leon's mind had already floated to one hundred and eight thousand miles away.
The next day.
When Daryl woke up in the morning, she saw a little ball by the side of her bed.
"Good morning, baby."
Daryl didn't lock the door when she went to bed, so Benjamin came in easily this morning.
"Good morning, Mommy!"
Benjamin got close to her and kissed her on the cheek. Then he held her hand and said, "Mommy, I'll get you a hot towel." Daryl was surprised to hear that. 'Why is he so considerate this morning?' she thought.
"Thank you, baby."
Benjamin gave her a warm towel.
Daryl wiped her face and got up to change her clothes.
After changing her clothes, she went downstairs with Benjamin.
"Good morning, Daddy!"
Seeing his father sitting at the table, Benjamin greeted him politely.
Zack raised his head and looked at the mother and son. He looked at them for more than ten seconds, but the woman didn't greet him. His face darkened and he forgot to respond to his son.
Seeing this, Daryl couldn't help complaining in her heart, 'This guy is really cold. He doesn't good morning to his own son, and his face is still so bad.'
"Baby, sit down and eat."
Daryl pulled down the chair for Benjamin and helped him to have breakfast.
Benjamin was happy that his mother was so considerate to take care of him, but his father didn't look good.
Alas, he still wanted to be obedient. He didn't want his daddy to send him to the base on weekend. Did he feel that his daddy was getting more and more unhappy?
Benjamin looked back and forth between his mommy and daddy, and his little mind was spinning.
Early in the morning, he came out of his room and didn't see the interaction between the two people. If there was a conflict, it was last night.
It took Benjamin about ten seconds to figure out that there might be a conflict between his parents because they watched TV last night.
Well, he must find a way to deal with it.
After breakfast, Zack stood up coldly and said, "I have something else to do. I'm leaving now. I'll ask Dillon to be your driver."
After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.
"Mommy, let's get in the car."
Benjamin took a look at his mother and found that there was nothing wrong with her face.
Daryl nodded.
After Benjamin got off the car at the school, there were only two people left in the car, Daryl and Dillon.
"Dillon, what's wrong with you?"
