It’s Not Good To Hold It In, Leo
Leo didn’t respond and merely flicked off the inexistent lint on his pants.
Chandler, who was ignored, looked at him pitifully with teary eyes. “I know you think I’m back to get a
share of the inheritance. But I know my position. I was never an Alston. So, I never dared to imagine
such a thing.”
He raised his hand. “I swear on my life that if I coveted even a penny of the Alston Family, I’d suffer in
hell.”
Only then did Leo turn his head to look at Chandler. However, he still stayed silent, but the fierce glint in
his eyes was unmistakable.
Chandler’s heartbeat furiously as he saw the knowing look in Leo’s eyes. It was as if Leo knew
everything.
How could that be? Chandler had been cautious to hide his true thoughts. And it was true that none of
them were about inheritance.
“L-Leo, why are you looking at me like that?” he stuttered as though the cat got his tongue.
Finally, after what seemed like a decade, Leo averted his gaze away, but he still didn’t deign to give
him a response.
He leaned forward and carried the baby, who was sitting by his leg, before standing up and walking
away from Chandler. “Let’s cut the cake.”
The cake-cutting ceremony went by without problems with Leila’s help.
“This is for you, Mr. Alston.” Leila passed him a slice of cake.
Leo accepted the plate and took a spoonful but didn’t eat it. Instead, he put the spoon into the baby’s
mouth.
The little guy had his mouth wide open, and the spoon went in. But, he impatiently chomped down, so
the spoon was stuck in his mouth. Leo wasn’t afraid of the mess and gently nudged the spoon out
before continuing to feed him.
Leila watched as Leo fed the child with his long slender fingers holding the spoon. Although he was
doing something so down to earth, he still looked as noble as ever.
“Miss Potts, a new baby will be delivered in a couple of months. Please prepare the necessary items
for the newborn,” Leo ordered as he fed the child.
Leila replied with a heavy heart, “Why don’t we bring the baby’s mother over as well? They need to live
too.” She couldn’t bear to see Leo continue to take only the child and not their mother.
“The children need a mother too. It’s not enough to have just us nannies. We can never compare to
their mothers,” Leila spoke up.
Usually, she was afraid of speaking up to Leo. However, she pitied the children and didn’t want Leo to
continue his philanderer ways.
“Children need both their father and mother,” she dropped the last bomb, and her whole body tensed
up, afraid of what was to come.
She knew she had crossed the line. However, it was human nature to think of the positive sides of
things, especially since she watched Leo growing up.
Nonetheless, Leo didn’t reply and took a tissue to wipe the baby’s mouth. “Don’t give them so many
sweets.”
She knew her advice fell on deaf ears seeing his response and could only shake her head in
disappointment and sigh inwardly.
Then, she acknowledged his order and told the other nannies to stop feeding the other children cake.
Unfortunately, the greedy babies clearly wanted more, and all cried ceaselessly, wanting to get their
hands on the cake.
Immediately, a teddy bear was stuffed into the baby’s arms. It was so huge that he almost couldn’t hug
it.
The baby felt the softness of the teddy bear as he snuggled his face into it and smiled with satisfaction.
Chandler smiled heartily when he caught a glimpse of the joy on the child’s face. So, he rushed to pass
out the plush toys to the rest of the children.
Leo, who was wiping the cake that the baby had smothered on his shirt and fingers, was stunned when
he looked up to see the plush toys in the children’s arms.
Suddenly, his eyes darkened.
Chandler didn’t miss the look in his eyes but acted nonchalantly as he patted the children’s heads.
“This is a gift from an Auntie. A very, very nice Auntie.”
Just as he finished his sentence, Leo stood up. “That’s it for tonight. Bring the kids to rest.” Then, he
strode out of the room.
Leila was caught off guard at his sudden departure and looked at him with a confused look. Still, she
didn’t dare disobey him and urged the nannies to carry the children back to their rooms.
“Leo!”
Leo exited the courtyard and was about to step onto the stairs leading to the outside of the house when
Chandler came running after him. “I know you don’t like me, and I respect that. But it’s obvious you
care about Miss Dillon. So, why don’t you do something about it?”
Leo didn’t stop in his tracks, and Chandler also had no intention of stopping.
“Those presents were gifted by Miss Dillon. She knows that these children aren’t yours. She also
knows that you’re not sleeping around like in the rumors!”
Leo suddenly froze when he heard that. The air around him became frigid as his body tensed.
Chandler shuddered when he felt the change of aura.
Yet, he still plucked up the courage to get closer to Leo. “Miss Dillon came by today. I merely
mentioned that the children are celebrating their birthdays. Then, she said that she wanted to send
them gifts. Leo, she still has feelings for you. Since you both have feelings for each other, why not try a
little harder? There’s nothing in your way.”
Chandler put on his best show like he truly was the older brother who was worried for his little brother.
However, Leo merely stayed rooted on the spot for a few seconds and left without saying a word.
An evil smile gradually crept up on Chandler’s good-natured face as he watched the car drive away
and disappear before his eyes. “It’s not good to hold it in, Leo.”
“What happened to Leo? He’s gone to his room for a long time. Did he fall asleep?” Melissa asked as
she held a cup of floral tea, sitting on the sofa with her fair legs crossed.
Jodie, who was sitting on a single sofa, was busy scrolling on her phone and answered lazily, “Who
knows?”
“Mr. Leo seems to be showering,” the butler answered and walked over with a concerned look on his
face. “I heard the water running in his room. It hasn’t stopped at all since just now.”
Leo’s room door wasn’t shut properly, and the sounds of the running water were loud. That was why he
overheard it.
“Does it take so long for a shower?” Melissa frowned impatiently.
The butler glanced at her. Usually, she never asked about Leo and only asked for him when she
needed something.
Even though the butler wasn’t family, even he was worried that Leo had fainted inside the shower after
so long.
Then, he moved his gaze toward Jodie and saw that she was also indifferent about this.
This family…
In the end, he was but a butler and was in no place to comment on his masters. So, he could only keep
those words to himself.
“Should I go take a look?” Chandler just so happened to return and placed a soft pillow behind
Melissa’s back before adjusting the light beside Jodie to make it brighter.
Melissa was very pleased with his considerate action and smiled. “Yea. Go take a look and ask him to
come down.”
She didn’t dare go up. However, Chandler, the errand boy, came back just in time.
“Sure.” Then, he went upstairs.
At the moment, Leo was scrubbing his body furiously in the bathroom with a rough loofah. Every time
the loofah passed by, it would leave horrid red marks all over his skin.
