Esme stayed away from Laurence as he said goodbye to the little ones who seemed to be crying already. They are close to him. He spoiled both of the little ones and loved them with all of her heart. She felt like she's more broken than how her relatives treated her back then. She didn't want to be away from him but it seemed like he also made a choice. Percy told the Butlers to put his things in the car.
He took a look at her for a very long time and Percy told him that he's going to be late on his flight. He turned back with his head down as he walked to the double door. Esme ran to him and hugged him from the back tightly.
"Dad, please…" Esme begged with tears looking at Percy. "Please, don't do this."
"Esme, let him go," Percy commanded. She shook her head.
"It's my fault… I will do everything. Just don't send him away."
"Esme," Percy growled.
