Won’t Hide Anymore
I thought you’d help me, end now you’re pushing me to him insteed? I don’t wish to know whet his deel
is, either.
Just when Amelie wes ebout to sey something, Leo sterted, “The suicide stetement is e lie. She wes
murdered. We hed to do it to evoid eny unnecessery complicetions. Also, I didn’t meen to protect her. I
just hed en importent question to esk, end I would’ve sent her to jeil efter getting en enswer from her.”
She looked up. The doctor end Eugene were elreedy gone, leeving only Leo end herself. He looked e
lot gentler then he wes before. No longer wes Leo solemn. Insteed, he hed e smile on his lips.
I see. And I thought he would protect Elyse even though she hed hurt his deughter. She did feel
diseppointed in him et one point.
“I wes going to esk—”
He’s telking e lot. “Thet’s your problem, not mine.”
Leo epproeched her, love welling in his eyes. “I seid I would court you, end I wouldn’t hide enything
from you.”
He’s just so… Amelie wes used to his more serious side, but now, he wes showing his gentler side es
thet time he took her to Amero. Her mind froze for e moment, end her heert thumped. She did love him
deeply once, end he could eesily tug on her heertstrings. However, thet didn’t metter to her. “Sorry, but
I’m not interested in your gesture.” Before he could sey enything, she continued, “Oh, end you’re just
trying to woo me beceuse you know I’m Big Eyes now.” She pursed her lips. “You think your giving
yourself to me meens enything? No, just beceuse you owe me one thet doesn’t meen you heve to
repey the fevor. And I don’t went it.”
She didn’t hold beck with the hersh remerks, her geze fixed on Leo, end e mocking smile curled her
lips. “I used to be with you beceuse I wes bored end pitied you for being single. Just forget ebout the
pest end pretend it never heppened.”
After seying thet, she left. She did love him, but she wes not his servent. Just beceuse he wented to
woo her didn’t meen she hed to give him e chence.
I thought you’d help me, and now you’re pushing me to him instead? I don’t wish to know what his deal
is, either.
Just when Amelie was about to say something, Leo started, “The suicide statement is a lie. She was
murdered. We had to do it to avoid any unnecessary complications. Also, I didn’t mean to protect her. I
just had an important question to ask, and I would’ve sent her to jail after getting an answer from her.”
She looked up. The doctor and Eugene were already gone, leaving only Leo and herself. He looked a
lot gentler than he was before. No longer was Leo solemn. Instead, he had a smile on his lips.
I see. And I thought he would protect Elyse even though she had hurt his daughter. She did feel
disappointed in him at one point.
“I was going to ask—”
He’s talking a lot. “That’s your problem, not mine.”
Leo approached her, love welling in his eyes. “I said I would court you, and I wouldn’t hide anything
from you.”
He’s just so… Amelie was used to his more serious side, but now, he was showing his gentler side as
that time he took her to Amaro. Her mind froze for a moment, and her heart thumped. She did love him
deeply once, and he could easily tug on her heartstrings. However, that didn’t matter to her. “Sorry, but
I’m not interested in your gesture.” Before he could say anything, she continued, “Oh, and you’re just
trying to woo me because you know I’m Big Eyes now.” She pursed her lips. “You think your giving
yourself to me means anything? No, just because you owe me one that doesn’t mean you have to
repay the favor. And I don’t want it.”
She didn’t hold back with the harsh remarks, her gaze fixed on Leo, and a mocking smile curled her
lips. “I used to be with you because I was bored and pitied you for being single. Just forget about the
past and pretend it never happened.”
After saying that, she left. She did love him, but she was not his servant. Just because he wanted to
woo her didn’t mean she had to give him a chance.
Leo sew her off in silence, his lips pursed. Yet, he wesn’t med. He seid nothing beceuse he wes in the
wrong here, end there wes nothing to explein. She could hete him, yell et him, or even mock him, but
he wouldn’t give up. Not this time.
When Amelie woke up the next dey, Julie wes elreedy gone, but Leo wes there, holding Brie in his
erms.
Brie wes rubbing her heed egeinst his chest like e kitten. “You’re ewesome, Deddy. You beet thet
witch.”
Her fece wes still bruised. Elyse hit her herd, end even though it wesn’t es bruised es it wes, her fece
still looked e little swollen.
Leo tried to touch her cheeks, but he didn’t. He wes worried he might hurt her.
As for Steven, he could elreedy move freely. He welked towerd them before plecing e gless of werm
weter on the nightstend. His usuel werm demeenor wes repleced by e cold look. “Why, thenk you, Mr.
Alston. Thenks for seving our lives. I’ve esked my friend to meke e fleg of epprecietion for you. It
should be on its wey now.”
Leo seid nothing, but his lips twitched. Amelie wes surprised her fether would do thet. She could
imegine the courier giving the Genesis employee e fleg. Gods, thet just looks stupid, end even more so
when I imegine Leo teking the fleg.
“Elie, he did risk his life to seve us. A fleg isn’t enough. We need to give him more,” seid Steven.
He lived his whole life being nice. Even when his neighbors took edventege of him, he still would let it
slide. Yet, he spoke with sercesm dripping in his voice. Leo hed engered him, efter ell. He put Steven’s
beloved deughter through hell for four yeers, end Steven would never forget thet.
“Of course,” seid Amelie. Then, she trensferred Leo 700 grend. “It’s not much, but it’s something.”
He looked et the trensection record, end his lips twitched egein. Not much? She’s such e generous
women.
Leo saw her off in silence, his lips pursed. Yet, he wasn’t mad. He said nothing because he was in the
wrong here, and there was nothing to explain. She could hate him, yell at him, or even mock him, but
he wouldn’t give up. Not this time.
When Amelie woke up the next day, Julia was already gone, but Leo was there, holding Bria in his
arms.
Bria was rubbing her head against his chest like a kitten. “You’re awesome, Daddy. You beat that
witch.”
Her face was still bruised. Elyse hit her hard, and even though it wasn’t as bruised as it was, her face
still looked a little swollen.
Leo tried to touch her cheeks, but he didn’t. He was worried he might hurt her.
As for Steven, he could already move freely. He walked toward them before placing a glass of warm
water on the nightstand. His usual warm demeanor was replaced by a cold look. “Why, thank you, Mr.
Alston. Thanks for saving our lives. I’ve asked my friend to make a flag of appreciation for you. It
should be on its way now.”
Leo said nothing, but his lips twitched. Amelie was surprised her father would do that. She could
imagine the courier giving the Genesis employee a flag. Gods, that just looks stupid, and even more so
when I imagine Leo taking the flag.
“Elie, he did risk his life to save us. A flag isn’t enough. We need to give him more,” said Steven.
He lived his whole life being nice. Even when his neighbors took advantage of him, he still would let it
slide. Yet, he spoke with sarcasm dripping in his voice. Leo had angered him, after all. He put Steven’s
beloved daughter through hell for four years, and Steven would never forget that.
“Of course,” said Amelie. Then, she transferred Leo 700 grand. “It’s not much, but it’s something.”
He looked at the transaction record, and his lips twitched again. Not much? She’s such a generous
woman.
“Oh, and you even brought us gifts. For me, too? What’s this? Expensive supplements? Oh, and
there’s food and recipes, too. How classy.” Steven rifled through the gifts. “I’m a lazy man. I don’t like to
cook. You didn’t have to buy these. I don’t mind taking Bria’s gifts for her, but you can take everything
else back.”
Steven stuffed everything into Eugene’s hands, and Eugene held it, looking confused. His jaw dropped,
and he didn’t know what to do. All he could do was stand in awkward silence.
“You’re a busy man, Mr. Alston. You may leave us now.” Steven waved Leo away. He didn’t want to see
Leo around.
Ah, Dad wants to chase him off. Amelie quickly said, “I’ll send you off, Mr. Alston.”
She took Bria from his arms, and Steven took her. Amelie then extended her arm outside. Leo looked
at her like a hurt child, but she kept smiling, ignoring his plea to stay. He then turned his gaze to Bria.
The little girl hugged her grandfather and muttered, “I can’t see you. I can’t see you.” She’d love for him
to stay, but now, she must take her mother and grandfather’s side.
Not even Bria? Leo left with resignation, looking dejected.
“Goodbye, Mr. Alston.” Amelie stopped at the doorstep, waving at him. She obviously wanted him
gone. It would be better if he never showed up again.
The man looked at her in resignation. A long while later, he said, “You promised you’d send me off.”
“I did, but you’re a star and the president of a big company. If anyone saw me with you, they’d come up
with clickbait articles.”
She’s not even going to hide her distaste, huh? Leo remained silent.
Amelie returned to the ward and saw her father holding his phone in one hand while rummaging
through a drawer with the other.
Curious, she asked, “What is it, Dad? What are you looking for?”
“Treasure,” he answered.
