A crisp sound of clap then sounded in the yard.
Lydia’s eyes immediately contracted when she saw who was standing in front of her and started shaking.
Emilia just burst into tears and hugged Lydia’s legs and begged, “Mommy, please don’t hit daddy.”
Aurora paused on the spot and Leo was standing between them.
His face was burning, but at the very next second, he brought Lydia to his chest.
Lydia cannot hold it anymore and just burst out crying.
“Why would you do that? Why would you take that slap? It’s not your business.”
Lydia’s tears soaked Leo’s clothes.
“Don’t cry, Emilia. Daddy is okay.”
Leo stroked Emilia’s back lightly and soothed her and then forced a smile till she stopped crying and shook his head towards Lydia.
“You can’t do that. You can’t hit her even if she is wrong. She is your mother.”
Lydia bit her lips and tried hard to not to cry, but tears just streamed down from her face.
“It was her fault when she left you. It was also her bad for not meeting you for twenty years, but she didn’t mean to do that. You can blame her but you cannot negate her.”
“You cannot be rude to her. If you are mad, you can vent your anger towards me. I will take it for her.”
Leo stared at Lydia and got serious, “You’ve also left me for five years. You and Emilia had suffered too much because of me.”
Lydia sunk into silence and though she was still crying, she was less emotional than before.
Leo also glanced at Aurora.
Aurora’s eyes also got red and looked at Leo and Lydia with remorse.
Chanting the sutra can stop her from having any secular emotions, but cannot stop her missing her daughter.
As Aurora had said before, she cannot shave her hair for she still had obsessions on something.
“Lydia, you got a great husband.”
Aurora gazed at Lydia in a while and said earnestly.
Lydia remained silent for being abandoned hurt her very much.
But Leo noticed something from Aurora’s eyes.
It was jealousy.
Lydia was just like her when she was young.
She had a terrible marriage before, but Lydia got someone who was in love with her deeply.
A person’s poor situation can always attribute to his own wrong doing.
She abandoned Lydia for twenty years, so she was a total loser when it came to love.
It started raining in a while.
Leo then suggested, “It’s raining. Let’s go inside.”
He then escorted Aurora inside and examined Lydia’s reaction.
Lydia got poker-faced and went upstairs alone.
Leo was relieved and turned to Aurora, “It all happened too fast, so Lydia wasn’t mentally prepared. She then got emotional.”
Aurora turned to Leo and said, “I’m sorry for troubling you. Are your face hurting?”
Leo grinned, “It was nothing.”
He then entered the kitchen.
Lydia was angry upstairs and Leo got to cook tonight.
He told Emilia to entertain Aurora before he went in the kitchen.
Emilia was sweet and then went to Aurora and grabbed an album.
It was all Leo and Lydia’s photos inside and Leo took them the most.
Emilia then pointed at the photo and said, “This is mommy and this daddy…”
Aurora checked the photos seriously and her eyes just started welling up.
Leo was hugely relived when he witnessed the scene and started cooking seriously.
