The love that grew in his heart for Aleeya made him an acute egoist!
Hansen left, at Steven's request. He's no longer trying to beg because it will be in vain to get. For some reason, the steps seem to get heavier, as more steps he takes. Maybe because there are words that need to be heard but not conveyed.
Until he reached the doorway, Hansen stopped.
"Uncle, before I go home, can I have one request?"
Without looking at Hansen, Steven still answered coldly, "As long as it's not about Aleeya being snatched from my life, you are free to say anything!"
Thump!
The answer made Hansen cover his mouth with both hands. The warning was very clear.
"Say what you want to say," Steven replied.
He realized that he had scared the 6-year-old.
How bad was he? However, was it true? Was he the worst at this? While Steven was just trying to defend what he thinks was his.
