Leo knew that his mother and I were as different as oil and water, so it surprised me when he believed what I told him.
His blues eyes widened in disbelief, "Really? Mommy apologized to me?"
I blinked in surprise and then nodded assuredly, "Yes, she said she had no choice but to make you do what she did. She usually avoids discussing it with you, but since she doesn't get along well with me, she was pretty candid about it. So, you don't have to hide anything from me."
The kid felt like he was starved of affection.
It didn't make sense. Even if he was deprived of love, it would be from his father. Catherine, his mother, had been raising him alone. She couldn't have been that bad, could she?
The moment he heard Catherine had apologized to him, he dropped his video game. He looked at me with hopeful eyes, "What else did Mommy say?"
