"How did you come here?" George realized something was off as he said it, for he hadn't expected his voice to sound so choked up, revealing that he had been crying just now.
Seeing her dad sitting there so despondently had already been enough to make Ivy start crying. Now, hearing the sound of his voice, Ivy felt like her heart was shattering.
Dylan, on the other hand, also realized the gravity of the situation. But he had no idea what to say. Ivy was crying, George was far from being comfortable, while Dylan himself was left clueless.
"It's already late, you two should go back to bed!" George knew his voice was off at the moment, but he had no way around it. Because he knew better than to let the two kids keep standing there, so he urged them to leave.
However, Ivy remained standing still. How could she leave her father alone at a time like this?
