Michael looked at his daughter when he heard her ask the question, her voice tiny and confused.
Her big innocent eyes made her look exceptionally adorable.
He reached out and caressed her head tenderly. With a small smile, he tried his best to keep his emotions under control as he answered, "Mummy is throwing a tantrum.
Don't worry, I will take care of her."
Michael did not want the two children to be affected by this new development.
Jake had probably already guessed that something was wrong, but Leah would be scared if she found out the woman she thought was her mother was an imposter.
She would be out of her mind with worry for her real mother.
After some thought, Michael told Zess, "Zess, please send the children to bed."
Lowering his head and speaking to Leah, he said, "Daddy has some matters to attend to. I need to go out for a bit, so you and Jake hurry off to bed, okay?"
