No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 10

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.

Children shed tears easily and recovered soon as well. A moment later, Emilia fell asleep in Lydia’s arms.

Only then did Lydia carry Emilia to the bed and cover her with a blanket.

However, she did not come out of the room right away. Instead, she stared at Emilia with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Hey..." Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind.

Leo stood outside the door, looking nervous, and asked cautiously, "May I stay here?"

Only those Leo loved could make him so discreet as if he was treading on eggshells.

Lydia rose to her feet and closed the door behind. Her expression turned icy again as she said to Leo, "Fine, you can stay. I'll even let you move into my house."

Before Leo could rejoice, Lydia opened her mouth again, her eyes sparkling irefully, "But I still don't believe you. You have three months' probation. During this time, if I find out that you approached us with ulterior motives, or that you're actually a scam artist, I'll not only drive you off but also use all the legal methods at my disposal against you!"

Despite her harsh tone, Leo was still elated because she had agreed to let him stay by their side at the very least.

He promised, "I'll be good to you and make amends for the past five years."

Lydia's face did not change. She took out a pile of contracts and handed them to Leo. "Take a look at the clauses."

But Leo pushed them away and said, "No need."

Lydia’s expression changed slightly and she asked, "Aren’t you afraid that there are hidden land mines? And that I'm framing you on purpose?"

"No," Leo shook his head and said calmly, "I've told you, I owe you for the last five years. I'm willing to do anything for you and Emilia. If anyone tries to hurt you, they'll have to step over my dead body first."
