Chapter 47
“Enough, Leon. Stop making with a stern face.
The teacher, standing nearby, hesitated, dearly unsure of how to proceed. “Madam, this situation.”
Before the teacher could finish, Eliza interrupted and forced Leon to apologize.
Back at home, Leon saw Victor and couldn’t hold it in any longer. He burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably as if the world had just turned against him. His cres were heart wrenching, full of raw emotion,
Victor’s heartached upon seeing that He gathered Leon into his arms, gently patting his back as he spoke softly, “Leon, what happened? Daddy what went on at school today”
Lean clung to Victor’s shoulder, his voice shaky as

ry as he recounted what happened at school. His fists clenched tightly, his face filled with frustration and
“I–Ellie made me apologize, but I really didn’t do anything wrong. He insulted me first and took my notebook. I just pushed him, and he started crying. They’re all taking his side.”
Victor’s heart ached even more as he saw his son almost crying his eyes out. He pulled and held Leon closer
But suddenly, something caught Victor’s eyes. He saw a noticeable scratch on Lees’s arm, and it made his blood boil.
“How did you get a scratch? Who did this?” asked Victor.
Hearing that, Eliza rushed to explain, “Vic, stay calm. The teacher told me Leon had a conflict with another boy. Lean pushed the boy, and the boy’s mother came to the school demanding an apology, threatening to escalate the matter.”
“What about the scratch on his arm? victor’s voice was tight with anger.
Elza replied, “When the boy fell, he scratched Leon by accident

Elza noticed Victor expression and spoke up, “Well, it’s not entirely Leon’s fault. However, he shouldn’t have hit the boy,”
Hearing this, Leon cried even harder, his voice rising in protest.” didn’t do anything wrong. He insulted me first.
Victor’s patience snapped, and he scowled. “Enough. You fought with another kid last time, and now again

Victor’s voice turned stern as he addressed Leon directly, “Leon, you cannot fight with other kids whenever there’s a problem. You don’t solve things by fighting. Do you understand?”
“But he was rude to me.” Leon’s voice was small but insistent
“Fighting don’t solve anything. It only makes things worse,” Victor said firmly.
Seeing that Victor misunderstood Leon’s intentions, Eliza gently stroked Leon’s hair, seemingly trying to comfort him, yet a satisfied smirk was hidden

Leon nodded and he choked out, “Gol

Eliza continued comforting Leon,

She turned to Oliver and said, “Oliver, can you come here?
“What’s up.

“Take Leon upstairs and play with him.”
“Okay, sure. Come on, Lean. Oliver nodded and gestured for Leon to follow.
Leon wiped his eyes, glancing at both Victor and Eliza before slowly following Oliver up the stairs.
