chapter 1127


    Leon eyed Charmine with confusion as he waited for her to continue.


    Charmine said, "You must be ming Ms. Lennon for not understanding your difficulty and hard work,


    but have you thought of how Ms. Lennon grew up without a mother and how shecked maternal love


    from a young age? What she needs isn''t your mansion or luxury cars; she needs a father or a family


    member to apany her. You don''t understand the hardship of a young girl like her growing up


    without thepany of her parents, while you even tried to educate her through a strict system. If you


    were willing tomunicate with her more and spend some time with her, she wouldn''t have turned


    out like how she''s today." i


    Charmine spoke clearly and logically.


    Leon felt as if he was woken up with the criticisms.


    Indeed, he did not spend a lot of time with Chloe. It was already impressive if he coulde home


    once a week.


    However, Chloe would not be doing her work and, instead, hung out with her friends whenever he


    came home. That infuriated him.


    If he spoke to her gently, perhaps things would not havee to this...


    Charmine looked at Leon and continued, "Mr. Lennon, remember that you were once a child, too. The


    adults strive for wealth and status, while the children only care about feelings and love."


    Leon’s usually sharp eyes glistened with guilt.


    He had lived for so long yet did not have the wisdom of thisdy in her twenties before him.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    He was too strict on Chloe all these years. He had mistreated her... 1 "Thank you, Ms. Jordan. I know


    what to do now."


    Suddenly, he stood up and walked toward the garden.


    Chloe had gone to a corner in the garden after her father and Charmine went into the living room.


    Mood soured and ruined, she kicked and destroyed many flower pots when, out of the blue, Leon


    walked over.


    She thought he wanted to scold her again, but Leon merely looked at her with guilt and restraint.


    "Chloe, I wasn''t a good father to you, merely wanting to provide you with materialistic love in the


    process yet neglected your other needs. I promise I’lle home earlier from now on, and we''ll talk it


    out if there''s anything. I won’t scold you or stop you from hanging out with your friends." 1


    Chloe remained transfixed on the spot. Did her ears y tricks on her?


    Her usually strict father, who was always so serious and stern, said such things?


    What did Charmine say to him? How did he change so much?


    Charmine walked toward them and said to Chloe, "Ms. Lennon, you should talk it out with your father.


    Yes, your father owes you a lot, but he''s been through way more hardships than you think. He has to


    sleep with sleeping pills every night and takes more than ten medications every day..." 1


    Charmine handed a pill bottle to Chloe as she spoke.


    Leon dropped it on the sofa unknowingly, i


    The transparent bottle had more than ten pills of different colors.


    Chloe''s gaze changed.


    In her memory, Leon had always been rigid like a mountain with a healthy physique, yet he had to take


    so many medications...


    Looking closely, half of Leon''s hair had turned white.


    "You two should talk it out," Charmine concluded, "as I have other things to attend to. I’ll be taking my


    leave now."


    She was about to walk out when Leon suddenly thought of how they were closing down the Jordan


    Group.


    "Ms. Jordan," he quickly stopped her, "hold on!"
