As Leo’s interrogation bore down on him, Garrett struggled to find the words to defend himself.

Leo’s rage intensified upon seeing Garrett’s crestfallen expression. “You’re nearly thirty, for heaven’s sake! Show some maturity! How can you ever hope to be a decent father and protector for your family?”

Garrett found himself at a loss for words for the first time in his life, rendered speechless by Leo’s scathing rebuke.

Seeing Garrett’s genuine remorse, Leo’s anger finally began to dissipate. “I’m glad you understand the gravity of the situation. You may return to work tomorrow. Lola will tend to Laney.”
