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 replace 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.

Her tears had stopped before but when she heard her mommy's inquiry, she couldn't help but cry again.

Rose hugged her beloved daughter tenderly while patting on her back gently. She comforted Leah by saying, "Our Leah is so cute and well-behaved. Did someone bully our Leah?"

The little one nodded slightly, then spoke up about what happened earlier in a pitiful tone, "My hairband got blown onto a tree branch just now. Shawn helped me get it back but Daddy scolded me instead saying I made that boy climb up on purpose."

"Mommy, I didn't!" cried out Leah pitifully while big drops of tears kept falling down from her eyes.

Rose rubbed Leah's head gently while comforting, "Our lovely Leah would never force anyone to do something they don't want to do."

Elliot! If you dislike my daughter so much, then why don't you let us leave?

Rose gritted teeth with anger yet still insisted on soothing Leah until she felt better before leaving the room herself.

Her hand clenched into fists at its

side as Rose walked towards Elliot's study furiously where coincidentally saw Elliot who was looking for an opportunity to apologize to Leah in hallway.

Rose narrowed her pupils angrily before shouting out loud, "Elliot! Who gave you permission to treat my daughter like this!"

The man paused briefly, then his gaze deepened involuntarily. He frowned lightly, opening his lips. "Shawn has special condition. I can't let him get hurt..."

Before he could finish speaking, Rose interrupted him furiously mid-sentence.

"Elliot, if you love your son so much, don't force my daughter and me to stay here!"

"We get a divorce. Let us go and we can all be happy."

When Elliot heard this, his pupils contracted as he looked at Rose with suppressed anger.

"That's impossible! Rose, you won't get a divorce from me!"

He tightly clenched the hand by his side as the air around him suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Rose pursed her lips and tried to control her anger. She said indifferently, "Do we still need to be entangled with each other?"

"The person you care about isn't me. Why can't you let me go?"

Elliot felt pain in his chest and glared at the woman in front of him. He said word by word, "I will never get a divorce from you! You'll never leave me for the rest of your life. You and your lover and child will never be together!"

As she listened to these words, Rose felt like someone had grabbed her heart with great force. She stared angrily at Elliot and said, "You're not human!"

After saying that, she slapped Elliot directly across the face because she couldn't believe how unreasonable he was being.

It was clear that he was making trouble out of nothing, but still wanted to insult both her and her own daughter!

She didn't expect Elliot would turn out to be such a scumbag. Even though he already had a son with Madeleine, he still wanted them both under his control without letting them leave. Furthermore, he repeatedly insulted them again and again!

When Rose returned back into her room, feeling both angry and heavy on her chest, just like someone had been beating on her heart relentlessly.
