Bab 72: Watching A god Cry

Marissa had been downcast ever since the day she left Leon's Villa. Leon's harsh words had broken her heart into a million pieces and she blamed Ella for all this.

She had never seen her precious son exhibit such a level of rage in her entire existence. It was as though she had become an impediment he badly wanted to shed off. Even at some point, when he had moved closer to her and kissed her forehead before uttering those hateful words, she feared that Leon wanted to badly slap her.

As if Leon's animosity towards her wasn't enough, Rex reprimanded her severely when she returned to Carlpole. He didn't go soft on her as he warned her that her meddling could cost her Leon's loyalty and love.

For days, Marissa cried silently until Rex couldn't take her sadness anymore. He consoled her and begged her to let Leon make his decision like the mature man he was. This time, she listened to Rex after reaching out to Nana Esther.
