Michael had no idea what Todd had talked to Wendy about when they were alone.
The question grew stronger in his heart.
Wendy heard footsteps coming and she asked, "Is Michael coming in?"
Then, Wendy heard another set of footsteps. She knew that everyone had come back into the room.
Michael responded with a short "mm". He then lowered his chin and took a closer look at Leah.
Leah, noticing his stare, lifted her head and smiled as she looked back at Michael. She sweetly called out, "Uncle Michael..."
"Good girl, Leah," Michael greeted. He looked at the obedient Leah, growing even fonder of her.
Yet he grew more suspicious too, looking at her. She was such an adorable kid. Why wouldn't Todd, as her father, bring her along with him?
Michael looked at Leah and took another look at Jake. The two children seemed to be at the same age.
A sudden idea popped into his head, terrifying him.
