Being Leo Robin
Chapter 80 Being Leo Robin
LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT
Darby was having a good laugh like a maniac despite being retained behind bars. Abigail had gone berserk refusing to be in the same space as her sister. The face was severely battered and it made Darby feel really good. That was payback for all the pain and trouble Abigail caused her over the years, she is the reason herself and Leo aren’t together at the moment. Aside all of that, she was never going to forgive anyone who makes mockery of her son. Abigail winced as ice pack is being placed on her face, she cursed bitterly at Darby and insisted that she gets to charged to court. Her anger was on the rise at Darby’s unrepentant look.
The door opened letting in Leo as he made his way to the counter hurriedly. Zac walked in at the same time.
“I am here for Darby Miller.” The both of them blurted at the same time only then did they notice each other.
“Leo? What are you doing here?” Darby asked from where she was locked.
“Which one of you is here for her?” The police on duty asked.
“I am.” They chorused again.
The police rolled his eyes at them turning his attention to Abigail. “Is there anyone to take you home? And would you still press charges?”
“Yes.” Abigail yelled wincing at the sharp pain she felt in her swollen eye.
“No, she won’t. I will reach an agreement with her.” Leo said, pulling out his business card. “I’m Leo Robin. The both of them are sisters, just some kind of bad blood between them. They probably lost control.”
Zac rolled his eyes, mumbling under his breath. “Showoff.”
Leo looked towards him. “Did you say something?”
“No, I didn’t.” He replied pocketing his hands.
“It’s nice to make your acquaintance sir. I would get the documents ready.” The officer said.
“I am not going to negotiate with you!” Abigail stomped her feet.
Making his way towards her, Leo bent down in front of her and pulled out his phone. “Really, Abigail? Not even for ten grand?”
She gasped loudly, Abigail wasn’t expecting him to approach her like that. She had been too engrossed in her lamentation that she didn’t notice it was Leo. “Do you mean that?”
“Leo, don’t you dare try to negotiate with that bitch. She called our son a bastard!” Darby yelled from behind bars.
Leo raised a stern brow at Abigail. “Really? You did that? I could have you locked up for defamation of character. My son isn’t someone you or anyone should disrespect. I am going to let this slide because you were at the receiving end of violence. If this happens again, you will have me to contend with. Give me your account details, I will send the money to you.”
“You can sign here, sir.” The officer called out to Leo. “That lady needs to get to the hospital.”
“Sure, I have a car on its way here to pick her.” Leo replied.
Zac watched the action unfold as Leo controlled everything. For second time in a day, he looked helpless and unable to do anything. For some unknown reason he feels angry towards Leo. He wondered if Darby had been the one to call him over, but she had genuinely looked surprised to see him. There is no way he has some kind of psychic ability.
“How did you know I was here?” Darby asked Leo when they released her.
“Isabella called me.” He replied, mouthing a thank you to the officer. “How are you feeling?”
She nodded. “Fine, thank you. Zac?” Darby called out to him reaching for his hand. “I’m so sorry that I didn’t listen to you. I just couldn’t take her bullshit anymore.” She said glaring at Abigail.
“It’s fine, Darby. I’m just glad you are okay.” Zac replied. “I guess I will take my leave now. It’s obvious you already have a ride. I will have your car driven home for you.”
“Thank you.” She said to him genuinely, watching him leave. Leo had excused himself to let the hospital ambulance in for Abigail. Darby stood on the curb watching the ambulance drive off. “And that was too much ceremony for someone who acted so irresponsible.”
Leo chuckled. “You did quite a number on her.”
“Shit!” She exclaimed.
“What’s wrong?”
“My baby. I can’t believe I acted so irresponsible!” She gasped breathing heavily.
He held her by the arm. “Calm down, Darby. He is fine, Isabella has him.”
Placing a palm on her forehead, she let out a shaky breath of relief while holding back the tears that formed in her eyes. “I feel like an awful mother. Please take me home.”
“Sure, let’s go.”
Leo held her hand all through the ride back to Darby’s place, she was practically hollering over how she doesn’t deserve to be called a good mother. Even though he wasn’t suppose to be funny, Leo found her cute. Her genuine worry for Sinclair made him realize just how much she has to put on herself to care for their son. Darby practically flew out of the elevator to reach her penthouse, he followed closely behind her.
“Mommy.” Sinclair called out teary eyed as he ran towards her.
Darby scooped him off the ground and hugged him tightly, “I’m so sorry my baby. Don’t mind this undeserving mother of yours.” She sobbed holding him to herself.
He wiggled out of her hold to reach out to his father. Leo mouthed a sorry to her as he took the boy in his arms. “Hey, champ.” Leo mused kissing his forehead.
Isabella had a glass of milk in her hand that she handed to Darby while ushering her to the couch. “I was super shocked when Zac called that you had been arrested. What happened? Are you okay?”
Darby finished the glass milk in one go, feeling better. “Thank you so much, Bella. I don’t know what I would do without you.” She said stretching out her hand to caress Sinclair’s hair. Despite her yearn for him, he had chosen to stay put to his father’s side. “Abigail was at it again and I had to teach her a lesson.”
“I hope you plummeted her well?” Isabella asked taking the glass from her.
“You should have seen her face. It’s all shades of color.”
“That’s my girl.”
Leo laughed. “You are the one edging her on.”
“That sister of hers is nothing to write home about, Leo.” Isabella mused.
“I can’t deny that.” He said. “However, you have an image to protect Darby. Next time you ignore someone like her. Calling Sinclair a bastard doesn’t make him one.”
Isabella gasped. “She said that?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You see why I had to make her pay?” Darby defended.
“I know, baby. You were trying to protect our son. But it’s still necessary that you don’t get your name dragged.” Leo insisted.
Darby blushed profusely at Leo’s reference to her as baby. It has been like forever since she heard anyone call her that. Tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, she stood up. “I think I would need to wash up quickly. I have to many dirts on me. You are staying for dinner?”
Leo looked down at Sinclair who had held onto him tightly. “I don’t think I have a choice as it stands.” He chuckled.
“Alright then, I will be right back.” She said, jogging towards her room shyly.
