Mia Brown looked at Leo Hall and was struck by a sudden realization: her son's past obedience and reliance on her as his mother—his filial piety—had all been an act, a facade crafted to deceive.
Mia was startled by the thought, almost frightened.
She quickly shook her head, trying to drive away such a ridiculous notion.
Leo observed Mia's somewhat pale face, his brows furrowing slightly as he murmured, "What's wrong?"
Leo had originally accompanied Mia to the mountains. Mia had initially planned to teach children piano lessons, but her son said something that caused her to change her mind.
However, since they were already there, leaving without doing anything was not an option.
She decided to follow Elly Campbell's lead and teach the children herself.
Mia had been born into noble families and was highly educated. The only thing people criticized her for was her involvement as a mistress.
So, for Mia to teach children in the mountain villages, she was more than qualified.
