Chapter 142

“I’m sorry. Do you think I’m useless? I wanted to make you and Mom proud, but why do they have to hurt me? They betray and slander me. Why? Am I not good enough? What did I do wrong?”

Unable to hold back any longer, Aurelia burst into tears and buried her face in Leslie’s shoulder.

She went from silent sobs to loud cries within three seconds.

She wasn’t the capable and intelligent employee of Young Advertising anymore. At this moment, she was just her father’s little girl.

She was free to cry and make a scene if she wanted. Although crying felt liberating, Aurelia still sensed something missing.

Holding Leslie tightly, she clung to him as if he were her father. She feared that if she let go, he would turn back into a photograph.

After a moment, a hand gently landed on her head.

Yes, this was what was missing.

The warmth of the hand stroked her hair and back soothed her troubled heart. Eventually, she cried until her eyes and throat hurt. Her head was spinning, and she fell asleep in Leslie’s arms.

Leslie glanced at her, then picked her up to carry her into the bedroom. After placing her on the bed, he turned to leave.
