Chapter 679: Lea Loses Control

Having realized he had answered too quickly, Burke cleared his throat and lowered his head. He dared not look Gu Mengmeng in the eye. With blushing red ears, he hastily added, "I am worried that you cannot bear to watch them…"

Gu Mengmeng chuckled. "Children have to grow up, eventually. I am willing to do anything for them, but cannot take their place in growing up."

Gu Mengmeng tilted her head with a smile. Burke only caught a glimpse of it but already felt as if his heart was blooming with countless flowers. It was as if the entire world was an illusion and that smiling face was all he saw.

Burke was finally led away by the three youngsters as he stumbled after them like a lost soul.

Feeling sour, Lea held Gu Mengmeng in his embrace and propped his chin on top of her head. He gazed toward the departing Burke, and said unhappily, "How long has it been since you spoke to me so gently? Huh? This Burke… tsk, it's better to kill him."
