Chapter 347

Chapter 347 Are Demons Scarier Than Humans?

Leo's wounds were no joke. His arm was bruised and battered, with purple and green bruises and broken skin. It was evident that he had other injuries in other places as well.

Then, Bria let Amelie tend to her wounds while she blew on her father's wounds to soothe him. At that moment, Leo "accidentally" lifted his trouser to reveal the bruises on his leg. "Dada is so pitiful," she said as she feigned, wiping tears from her eyes.

"All done," Amelie said after applying the medicine to her daughter.

Suddenly, he extended his arm in front of her. Bria thought her father was better at being shameless than anyone else.

Amelie looked down at his bruised arm in front of her. She nodded and said, "It's pretty serious." It was hard to ignore his injuries when they were right in front of her face. "Here's the medicine." Following that, she handed him the ointment.

Leo was dumbfounded, and his heart was filled with disappointment, but he could only silently accept the medicine from her. He didn't avoid her gaze as he applied it to his wounds. After tending to his hands and feet, he unbuttoned his collar to reveal his striking clavicle and well-maintained skin. As he was applying the medication, he purposefully rubbed and slid his hands over himself in a way that looked very arresting to the eye. Soon, it caused everyone in the vicinity to look over at him and be transfixed by his random gestures. He intentionally turned his back on Bria and only let Amelie watch. On the other hand, Amelie was cornered by him and had no other option but to focus on him.

"Elie." While Leo was basking in the glory, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Amelie, who had been blocked by him the entire time, looked up. Suddenly, her expressionless face bloomed like a flower before him, quickly revealing a brilliant smile. "Mr. Walsh, what brings you here?"

"I'm about to leave the country, so I wanted to see you before I go and say goodbye." Toby leaned on the railing, his smile just right for his features. The wind ruffled his half-tied hair, and his bangs partially covered his face, making him look even more handsome and charming.

"Mr. Walsh," Bria called out as well.

"Little Bria." He nodded at her before his gaze briefly landed on Leo.

"Leo, hello." Toby's tone was noticeably more relaxed.

"Hey." Leo's handsome face darkened as a storm began brewing in his eyes. "Aren't you leaving soon? Shouldn't you be going now?" he asked, clearly displeased with Toby's presence.

Nevertheless, Toby could naturally hear the displeasure in his voice. So, he smiled, revealing two rows of teeth, and appeared even more graceful and charming. " There's no way around it; I have someone I care about here," he said.

Leo knew in his heart that Toby had come to cause trouble for him. Then, he snorted and said, "You act so ostentatiously. Aren't you afraid of encountering demons?" It was a clear insinuation.

Leo knew in his heart that Toby had come to cause trouble for him. Then, he snorted and said, "You act so ostentatiously. Aren't you afraid of encountering demons?" It was a clear insinuation.

Still, Toby smiled faintly, pretending not to understand. "Are demons scarier than humans in this world? If I'm not afraid of humans, why would I fear demons?" His smile was warm and bright. In addition, his words seemed to have no hidden meaning, but he had said everything.

"Elie, what do you think?" Toby intentionally broke Leo's heart by involving Amelie.

Hearing that, Amelie nodded in agreement. "Mr. Walsh, you're right."

Her response rendered Leo speechless. It doesn't matter what he says; she'll agree with him. Nonetheless, she will not listen to me no matter what I say. I am envious! I'm very jealous!

Seeing that, Toby chuckled lightly. His smile wasn't just because Amelie was on his side but also because Leo was losing. Since he was a child, except when Leo's eyes were giving him trouble, Leo had always been the "golden child" every parent longed to have. He and Ashton, along with the other children, were never good enough compared to Leo.

"In that case, why don't we have a meal together?" Toby invited Amelie.

"Mommy!" Bria called out as soon as he spoke.

Once they went to eat with Toby, her father would be left alone. It was too pitiful.

After Toby heard that, he bent down and gently stroked her little head. "I'm going to a very faraway place. Won't you have a meal with me? You won't see me much in the future."

She was conflicted by his response. On the one hand, she wouldn't be able to see Toby for a long time, but on the other hand, she had to be loyal to her father. Oh well, I've decided to listen to Mommy. However, she didn't say anything else.

"Since you're treating us to a meal, naturally, we'll have to agree," Amelie politely said. After speaking, she reached out and pulled Bria over. "Well then, Mr. Alston, goodbye."

Leo was dumbfounded and grumbled to himself. Is a meal really that important to this heartless woman?

"Are you planning to give Leo a chance?" Amelie and Toby walked outside, and he asked her while taking advantage of Bria rushing off to see someone else's pet.

"No," she denied. "I only want to focus on my career for the time being. I have no plans to pursue any relationships."

"Is that so?" His smile fell a little. Amelie not only didn't want to give Leo a chance, but she also blocked his advances.

The three of them quickly arrived at the restaurant. It was still early and not even noon, so there weren't many people dining. The restaurant was empty, with only a few tables occupied. Toby led them to a window seat. As soon as they sat down, a shadow flashed past the table across from them, and someone sat there.

Meanwhile, Amelie was oblivious to the man at the table beside her until she felt his eyes on her. When she saw the man's face, her temple couldn't help but twitch. It was Leo, and he had followed them.

Soon, Toby took out his phone and scanned the QR code on the table to order while Leo remained motionless across from them. His eyes were fixed on her. Although the two tables were not far apart, it was hard not to notice his gaze.

Seeing that, she rubbed her temples. Doesn't Leo always present himself as aloof and unapproachable? What's with this puppy-like look now? Has he given up his cold image?

Not wanting to indulge him, Amelie turned her face away, not wanting to satisfy him, pretending not to see him.

However, Toby was utterly focused on ordering and didn't notice Leo's presence. He occasionally asked Bria's opinion since he knew Amelie wouldn't tell him her preferences, so he simply asked Bria. After Bria finished ordering, she saw Leo, and her big eyes lit up. At that moment, a waiter pushed a food cart to their table. Soon, their table was full of delicious food, and the aroma filled the air.

In contrast, Leo had nothing but a glass of water. His table was empty, so he looked pitiful.

Adults could ignore the situation, but how could a child like Bria overlook that her father had nothing to eat? Then, she couldn't help but nudge Toby. "Mr. Walsh, look. My daddy is so pitiful. Let him come over

and eat with us."

Only then did Toby turn his head and see Leo. He couldn't help but smirk. "What's wrong with you, Leo? Coming to a restaurant but only drinking water? Are you trying to lose weight?"

"I'm not trying to lose weight. I didn't bring any money with me," Leo replied nonchalantly, without any hint of embarrassment on his face.

Toby laughed and pointed to the phone Leo had put on the table. "It's simple. Simply use your phone to pay. That's what everyone does now."

"I don't use mobile payments. It's not safe," Leo said.

Toby was speechless by that remark.

"Do you want to come over to eat, Dada?" Bria couldn't resist and directly extended an invitation as she looked at the delicious food on the table.
