Anne Sutton looked at Leo and said, "Go on, eat! It's okay, I'm here."
Leo nodded at Anne Sutton's words.
Ian sat to the side, looked at Anne Sutton, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with Leo?"
"It's nothing," Anne Sutton said. "He just ran into a little trouble."
They continued eating.
Before long, Mia Shaw arrived.
The butler led her in. Her gaze landed on Leo. After giving the boy a glance, she turned to Anne Sutton and said, "I can't believe you actually brought Leo here."
Given how poorly Anne Sutton and Charles Prescott got along, Mia Shaw was quite surprised she would involve herself in this.
Anne Sutton said, "No one was looking after him, so I had to step in!"
"What do you mean by that?" Mia Shaw retorted indignantly. "What do you mean, 'no one was looking after him'? Wasn't I? You're the one in the wrong for bringing the child here without permission!"
