“Yes, I sent you away back then,” Melissa blustered without waiting for Leo’s answer. However, she had to take a breath as she spoke too quickly. “I know what I did was wrong, but you were blind back then. I just wanted you to recuperate in a quiet area.”
However, Leo didn’t even give her a response this time, only smirking disdainfully with his head slightly raised.
He said nothing at all, yet it Hurt Melissa even more than when he said anything; she felt absolutely shameful standing in front of him.
“Yes, I sent you away and… I get that you’re upset, but can’t you understand where I was coming from? I had no other choice back then. If there was even the slightest possibility, I wouldn’t have…” she defended herself in a mutter and a hint of pity.
Though Leo behaved apathetically toward her over the years, he had never mistreated her either. However, she could never experience the superiority of a mother over him.
Melissa didn’t like this, and she always took the opportunity to defend herself, but she was never brave enough to bring it up.
Now that she did, she wanted to justify her actions for good so that Leo would finally understand her.
Thus, the next second, she raised her voice and spoke justifiably, “You can’t possibly blame me for what I did back then, either. Your father just passed away, and you became blind with zero chances of recovery according to the doctors. Plus, you had a terrible temper and would lash out and throw things around for no reason… I couldn’t communicate with you at all. Your grandfather’s business couldn’t possibly land in the hands of others, so I could only… Adopting was a last-ditch move. At the end of the day, I did it all for you. If you were really blind for the rest of your life, at least he’d be there to take care of the family business, and you wouldn’t be down and out for the rest of your life, no?”
Leo had never been a man of many words, and as displeased as he got with Melissa, he never complained anything to her. However, her words were so shameless this time that he couldn’t help but smirk. “How do you expect me to feel when you yourself feel guilty about what you’re saying?”
Whoosh!
