Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 103

"Jane, you must be tired. Let's go to bed and take a rest."

For the sake of long-term peace, I walked towards the living room and called Jane, ending that entertainment time. She had provoked Leo more than once in one sitting, it wasn't good for our mental health. That petty man would definitely come up with a sly strategy to make us pay.

As expected, Leo's face was epitome of rage, he was clenching and unclenching his fists, while glaring at laughing Bright.

Overjoyed by his princess's rendition, he was proudly smiling, more precisely, mocking Leo. To save my daughter's innocence from an upcoming riot, I took her to her room and tucked her in the bed. She was tired after these activities.

Jane was a deep sleeper, so she fell asleep quickly. I returned to the living room and heard Bright saying.

"You have observed that Jane has adjusted with me quite smoothly. We are a family, living together for almost two months.

Take my advice, leave your demand of co-parenting. Jane won't be comfortable at your place alone."

Bright's statement pointed out the crucial matter of sharing custody. I had promised Leo to discuss this issue with our lawyers, but it looked like Bright and Leo were already arguing over it.

As I entered the room, Leo leapt forward and stood before me.

"Listen, Laura. You have spent the entire time with Jane. That's why she is close to you.

But it doesn't mean that she can't bond with me. Staying at my Mansion on weekends will give us the opportunity to know more about each other."

He listed the advantages of such visits, speaking like a persuasive speaker and offered me.

"If you aren't comfortable with this notion of spending a weekend alone, you are more than welcome to stay with us, Laura. It would be my honor to be your host."

Bright didn't like this idea; he opposed it openly.

"Oh, you are suggesting that Laura and Jane should spend an entire weekend with you as family, fulfilling your fantasies.

Knock it off, Leo!

It won't happen!"

The firmness of his tone cut through the tense atmosphere as I felt the temperature of the room rising, it was rare to see Bright in fury.

"You did so much to trouble us, but I didn't retaliate, taking it as your and Laura's personal matter.

But now, I won't let my fiancé live with her trash ex."

So, weekends are fine!"

Leo's victorious grin challenged Bright's sanity, but my fiancé wasn't an impatient man. He didn't react until I completed my statement.

"I can send Jane to the White Mansion, but there's a slight inconvenience. Due to my long absence, my work schedule is a mess, and I can't accompany her to your house.

What about if Bright comes with Jane and stays at your house on the weekend? You have experienced baby sitting with him today. He is such a delightful person."

Although I generously added my occasional visits at lunch or dinner, Leo didn't even budge. He completely rejected my options.

Leo’s entire demeanor changed in an instant.

"No. Absolutely NOT."

His hands slammed onto the table, the loud crack echoing through the room.

"There is no chance in frozen hell that Bright will set foot in my house!"

His voice was sharp, almost frantic.
