Chapter 119

• "I have always known how much he loves you; you goose ball. Leon has done so many things to protect and shelter you. It's the main reason you never had any pressure or heavy responsibility when Leon and I took the helm. It was always supposed to be the three of us, but Leon wanted you to have your childhood, to be carefree when he knew he couldn't. It's why he waited until you hit your twenties before giving you a minor position at POLO. It was always about letting you make choices and have freedoms we never had."
• Sophia can't believe Johnny has never analyzed it that way before. To her, she always saw the care and effort Leon took to make sure Johnny was left alone to mature in his own way and not give up his youth like they had to. He's always over bubble-wrapped him, and it's probably why Johnny sucks at dealing with anything by himself. Leon was his father figure, but he never had a good example of how to be it.
• "I see that now. We had a good talk about everything.... About you too. About how much he loves you and realized when he lost you that half his soul was missing. He said he will spend his life making it up to you and becoming worthy of your love."
