Leon smiled as he sipped his coffee once more. Then, instead of answering, he posed a question.
"Charlotte, do you know why I wasn't around for any of your births or after you turned three years old this time, only to show up not long ago?" Leon inquired as he set his coffee cup back on the table.
At this question, Charlotte immediately furrowed her brow, her small, round face displaying a puzzled expression.
If there was one question she desperately wanted an answer to, it was the one her father had just posed.
Why had he never been present when she and her two sisters were born, or even in the three years following?
What was the reason for his prolonged absence?
These questions left her yearning for answers, yet she hesitated to ask her mother at that moment.
