Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 150

The sweetness of his voice alarmed me, piquing my curiosity as I sensed a bit of trickery in it. Bright was definitely up to something fishy.

Like a true businessman, he must have kept his intentions concealed and struck a deal with Leo to be in my good books. His brotherly act was just a mask for his real motives.

After dating him for months, I could easily read his mind now. So, I patiently waited for Bright's master stroke as he continued to advocate for Leo.

"Leo has spent years without Jane, so he deserves a chance to bond with her as her dad.

Keeping him away from his kids was really a cruel act. We should be more compassionate to compensate him for his past grievances …"

However, I couldn't believe my ears when he raised the topic of co-parenting all of a sudden. My jaw dropped, giving away my shock as he requested,

"I know it's not my place to say, but I can't stop myself from speaking up for a sad father, Laura.

Leo is a responsible man, who has recovered fast for his kids and got this fitness certificate from the hospital. Please let him spend a night with his winning champions …"

He gave me a thousand reasons to send kids with Leo, like rewarding him for his patience, and kids would love to be with him after missing him the entire championship. But I wasn't convinced a bit, just like flabbergasted Leo. His mouth split open wide, as if Bright had conjured a rhinoceros from the ground.

It was Indeed questionable what had gotten into Bright's mind that he converted into a generous man?

Thankfully, he didn't keep us waiting for long, revealing his true motives. He gentlemanly held my hand and kissed the back of it.

"My beloved fiancé!

May I have the honor of asking you to spend a beautiful evening with me, just the two of us?"

An evening together?

My brow shot up, forming a high arch of astonishment as my feeble mind quickly processed the Bright's offer. A pleasant smile stretched my lips to realize his methods of forgiveness.

Instead of using hollow words, he patched-up with Leo and planned a date night for us. That was the reason he missed the celebration earlier.

His thoughtful approach to flatter me successfully conveyed his heartfelt emotions. It appeared that Bright was truly ashamed of his conduct. He couldn't stand my cold treatment in the match and immediately came up with a solution, he even used Leo as a babysitter to teach him a lesson.

Irrespective of my vexation, I felt proud to select a man like Bright. He was indeed thoughtful, wise, and a strategic partner. Bright didn't allow the bitterness of our relationship to take over it, stunning Leo in the process. He was devastated to realize that he was taken advantage of.

Leo raised his head as his expectant gaze was fixed on my brother for some sort of reaction. Only he was the one who could stop us from going on a date.

But Henry gawked at us, his thin line of brow jumped up in surprise, he was struck speechless. His no-response mode depressed Leo, whose widened eyes were like a popped eye toy from a claw machine.

He had to swallow his frustration to gain my brother's favor.

"Henry, was it your idea to come to Disneyland for a picnic?

Of course, it is. You know very well how much Laura adores Mickey Mouse."

Isn't that what you taught me when you and Melody were used to going out before?

Now, my mommy and daddy will enjoy some quality time together."

Oops!

Haunted by his grim past, Zoe rubbed Leo's negligence in his face, he was habitual of leaving his son alone at White Mansion. Melody was more important to him than his lone child.

Now, his mistake bit him in his ass, Zoe called him a babysitter openly like I thought.

After some back and forth, I made up my mind to give Bright a chance, his cautious attitude was sufficient to persuade me for some ineffable time.

Like, why not?

We were dating, and that was what we were supposed to do as a couple instead of quarreling. So, I exclaimed happily.

"Yes, Bright. I will go with you."

My simple response sent a wave of happiness in my family. Jane grasped Leo's hand and announced,

"And we are going to dad's mansion!"
