Chapter 581 I Don’t Trust You

When Leanna returned home, it was almost 12.00AM, and the little guy was already asleep.

"I didn't expect you to be home so late on the first day," said Maya as she yawned tiredly.

"I have something urgent today. It won't happen again," replied Leanna.

"I know. Richard called me and told me that you guys had to deal with something. I'm just saying.'' Then, she took her stuff. I'll be leaving then. See you tomorrow."

After Maya left, Leanna entered the room. As she looked at the child, who was sleeping peacefully, she could feel her bad mood lighten up.

At this moment, Zoe came out of her room. "You're back, Leanna."

Leanna nodded in response. "I thought you were asleep."

"I just got home and took a bath." As Zoe spoke, she sat on the couch. "You know, Maya sure has a way of dealing with children. After you had left this morning, he kept crying. Maya cooed at him for hours and wasn't even the slightest annoyed."

Leanna was startled. She subconsciously looked at the child. "He cried?"

In that split second, Zoe realized she had said the wrong words. Then, she chuckled dryly and said, "I don't think that counts as crying. Maybe he's just not used to you leaving. After a while, he stopped."

Leanna didn't say anything. After some time, she asked, "Is Daniel not back yet?"

"He called me half an hour ago and said he would return by tomorrow morning. It's better if he doesn't come, though. That way, I can be at peace," replied Zoe as she leaned against the couch.

"Are you sure?" Leanna chuckled.

"Of course. He has been watching me closely, and I feel under pressure. I feel like a prisoner when he is around."
