Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 432

Wren knelt down. "I'm sorry, Mom is late."

Leo shook his head.

He looked at her, his eyes a little red, but he wasn't crying.

"They said you were fighting with Dad on TV."

Wren felt a painful ache in her chest.

"Mom wasn't fighting with Dad. Mom was correcting something that was said wrong."

Leo looked down. "They also said a little kid's name got put on the internet."

Wren didn't hide the truth from him.

"Yes. And that was wrong."

The boy gripped his backpack tighter.

"Will that little kid be scared?"

"Yes."

Leo was quiet for a moment, then pulled a piece of paper from a compartment in his backpack.

He had drawn another pause button on it.

This time, there were no words. He had only drawn a ring of tiny houses around the outside of the button.

"Give this to him," Leo said. "If he can't go outside, he can hide in here for a while."

Wren took the paper, her eyes instantly welling with heat.

She pulled her son tightly into her arms.

"Okay. Mom will hold onto it for you."

Leo leaned against her shoulder and asked softly, "Is Stellaris paused too?"

Wren gently patted his back.

"Part of it has to pause."

"Is that a bad thing?"

She thought about it.

"It's going to be very hard."
