Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 102

Leo's father card irked me, he tended to use it everywhere only to justify his actions. Firstly, I asked him to calm down and then questioned Bright seriously.

"The wristwatch is the only thing that Jane remembers about that kidnapper, Bright. Are you aware of it?"

Leo rolled his eyes at me.

"Why are you asking obvious questions, Laura? He is always present at the scene, never missing any development."

Ignoring his commentary, I glanced at Bright, he spoke remorsefully.

"Yes, Laura!

About half a month ago, she gave her statement in front of me at the hospital. They drew a sketch of that watch according to her explanation."

Without any further delay, he gave the reason for his mistake.

"Actually, I was too tired after the match last night. And there were back-to-back meetings in the morning.

So, when I got ready for the office, it didn't cross my mind that my wristwatch is somewhat similar to the kidnapper's one.

Otherwise, I would have never worn it."

As Leo was dropped out of the tournament due to his surgery, Bright was playing for my company. His workload was definitely insane because of Jane's abduction.

He was juggling between an official and ice hockey career, so I gave him the benefit of doubt and let it slide.

"I can feel your exhaustion, Bright. There are no words to express my heartfelt gratitude for whatever you have done for me and my company.

It's fine. I trust you!

You will never do anything to hurt my Jane on purpose."

"That's indeed a relief!"

Bright let out the breath he didn't know he was holding until now and smiled in appreciation.

"I am honored to be trusted by you. Thanks for believing me.

I will never disappoint you, Laura."

Leo coughed and mimicked vomiting, his Oscar winning acting fumed me,

"Yeah, you are Mother Teresa, who is too good to be trusted blindly."

He moved forward and stood right before Bright, narrowing his eyes.

"You can fool everyone, but not me, Bright. Soon, I will catch you in the act, and that day, you won't have any other choice except speaking the truth."

Bright scratched his ear, and chuckled softly.

"Then I will wait for your show, Leo. Let's see, what can you do to prove your lies!"

As they both started to threaten each other, I feared their fight, the hot-headed players like them were used to being aggressive on the rink.

Leo was undoubtedly a mad man, but Bright had his game rage buried deep in him. Now, his competitor brought out that ice hockey player from hiding to fight on the front foot. There were only moments left in a bloody battle.

So, before they could use their fists to assert their dominance, I handed them stuffed animals and commanded authoritatively.

"Stop it, guys. Take these toys and watch a movie with Jane. She loves Bright, and I don't wanna hate her new dad.

Please cooperate with me!"

"On it!"

You are discharged from the hospital. And the tournament hasn't ended yet. Will you play a match this season?"

Shoot!

The doctors had strictly prohibited Leo to have three months rest, his heart's condition wasn't favorable to hit the rink again. My little girl was unknowingly stabbing a sharp dagger at Leo's pinching point, testing his patience. I couldn't help but laugh at this situation.

Leo had spoiled my every moment in Lakon City and now, his blood was making him taste his own medicine. I felt proud of my daughter as she was taking revenge on my behalf.

Being powerless before a kid, Leo changed the topic, his impatient tone satisfied me to the core.

"Would you like to go on a picnic with me this weekend, my little angel? We can also go to Disneyland and visit Elsa's Castle."

His attempt to change the topic worked well, tuning Jane into a new frequency. She appreciated the idea of experiencing the princess's adventure and said,

"I would love to go to Disneyland, but let me ask daddy. He usually plans surprises for us on weekends."

ROFL!

Jane took this harmless invitation and made it all about Bright again, mentioning all the pleasurable moments that we had as a family.

"Before I got sick, daddy took us boating, swimming, and shopping. We went to the Safari Park and Zoo as well.

Zoe also came with us. We played all day together."

Jane's nonstop news bulletin started with our picnics and ended by covering the topic of our indoor activities, burning Leo in a hell of jealousy. I thoroughly enjoyed this scene from my room until she raised the moment of the intimate proposal, welling up a wave of an acid from my belly.

My heart rate hitched, cutting off oxygen supply, Leo must be about to explode in fury as Jane announced proudly.

"Me, Zoe, and daddy are a team. We prepared a surprise proposal for mommy.

She is going to marry daddy soon!"
