"Wait, Charlotte. Stay here. There's something I want to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Charlotte was slightly startled and cast a puzzled glance at Leon.
However, rather than probing further, she simply retreated to her original position, maintaining a calm and curious expression as she continued to observe Leon.
Leon didn't initiate the conversation immediately; instead, he calmly sipped his tea, his eyes closed.
After a moment, he set his cup down on the saucer and opened his eyes.
"Charlotte, are you upset with me?" He inquired softly, turning his gaze directly toward her.
Caught off guard by the sudden question, Charlotte was immediately taken aback and shook her head briskly in response.
"No, Daddy. I couldn't possibly be upset with you," Charlotte replied firmly, dismissing his inquiry.
"Are you certain?" Leon asked once more.
