Chapter 155: Losing Himself
Leander let out a deep breath. Although Lionel was drunk, he was right. He’s just focusing on himself when it was obvious that Lionel is in a much worrisome state.
"Did you fight with your dad again?" he asked.
He didn’t think that was the reason. But he felt weird to ask him what made him sad enough to get this drunk and act nasty in front of his house when the paps were onto him.
It must be something serious.
Lionel opened his eyes and Leander’s eyes widened seeing how red it was.
"I’m going to visit Brie tomorrow and will find a way to relieve her from the contract," Leander said. He wondered if Lionel is sad about that after visiting Brie.
Within some seconds like a stream, tears rolled down Lionel’s cheek. Leander rolled his eyes.
Seriously! He’s crying? Why in front of me? Does he think that I am his mother? What am I supposed to do?
Rubbing his face, he trotted and sat beside Lionel. He patted Lionel’s shoulder not knowing what else to do. "What is it?" he asked in the gentlest tone possible, hiding his annoyance.
"She..." Lionel leaned on Leander’s shoulder. "She asked me- She- does not like me to visit her anymore..."
"Who? Brie?" Leander was surprised.
He wanted to say that this is for the best and to let her go, but he didn’t think that Lionel would appreciate such honesty right then. Not knowing what else to do, he waited for him to calm down.
