Axel finished the milk in one gulp and handed the empty glass to Alexander.
"I've finished it. You must keep your promise!"
Alexander took the glass from him with a smile. "Of course! I will never break my promise to you."
He then stood up and was about to leave the room. However, just when he was about to walk out of the door, Axel stopped him.
"Mr. Carter, can you tell me why my father abandoned me and Alexa?"
Shocked by his words, Alexander turned around reflexively.
Axel's clear eyes were just like Sophia's as he stared into Alexander's eyes. There was a hint of redness in Axel's eyes, and his stubborn look hurt Alexander.
"Axel… Why do you think your father abandoned you?" Alexander asked with difficulty.
"Isn't that the truth?" Axel snorted and continued, "I'm fine. I'm unlovable. But what about Alexa? She is an angel! How could our father abandon her?"
