Malachi and Leo were a little taken aback by Anna's directness.
Malachi wanted to release a loud sigh but kept it in.
He didn't know why Anna had to suddenly approach with the question like that, but he noticed that her welcoming demeanour had changed a little when Leo confirmed that the little girl on his back was his daughter.
Malachi didn't know what was going through Anna's head at the moment, but from what he knew about his wife with the years they've spent with each other, he could tell she was currently a little upset.
And as for what she was upset about, Malachi figured it had to do with her question.
Malachi figured Anna might probably not be very okay with the fact that the little girl's proclaimed father would put her through such danger.
Hearing Anna's words, Leo suddenly reached out to the back of his head with his hand and scratched it. A shameful expression appeared on his face as he spoke.
