Chapter 143

Splash!

Water splashed as she sat down inside the bucket instead of falling outside.

The moment she fell, it increased the contact surface she had with the eels!

Leo instinctively ran over and was about to pick her up, but Amelie smiled and avoided him. “Leo, I can
do this. How can I have the right to maintain Bria’s custody if I can’t even stand such a small test?”

She sounded like she was panting, and her voice was obviously shaking.

At first, she talked to him, but then it became a mutter.

She was comparing her absolute fear with her care for Bria.

After she compared both, it was obvious that Bria was much more important.

At that moment, Amelie suddenly felt that eels weren’t as terrifying as she thought and closed her eyes.

When one hour was us, she opened her eyes to find that Leo had disappeared.

Amelie acted like nothing had happened and smiled.

She could understand why Leo refused to accompany her in such a crazy act, but after that one hour,
she realized that her fear of cold-blooded animals could be cured.

When losing something was more serious than her phobia, her phobia of cold-blooded animals seemed
like nothing.

Leo was aimlessly driving on the road.



Though he left because he didn’t want to accompany Amelie in acting berserk on the side of the road,
he had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart while driving. It felt like someone had stacked stones in his
heart.

He felt especially uncomfortable when he thought about how Amelie disregarded her fear of …

eels and the feeling of being watched by others in public to sit inside a bucket like a fool!

While thinking of that, he gripped so tightly around the steering wheel that his knuckles turned pale!

He then stopped the car by the road and sat inside quietly for a long time.

It was until he noticed that the time Amelie said was almost up that he returned. Then, he saw the wet
Amelie coming out of the bucket with a victorious smile on her pale face.

She was obviously stumbling when she came out and almost fell a few times.

In the end, he couldn’t bear it anymore and got out of the car.

However, before he could take a step forward, a figure flashed across and went over to support Amelie.

When Leo caught sight of that person, his face immediately turned as black as ashes!

“What’s going on? Why were you inside that tub?” Meanwhile, Toby didn’t notice Leo as all his attention
was on Amelie. His eyes were also filled with concern for her.

Smiling, Amelie blinked her eyes at him. “Because I wanted to do it.”

She had a victorious smile on her face and was happy like a child.

Though her face was ashen, she still smiled very beautifully.



Toby was stunned when he saw her bright smile and was smitten.

It took him quite a while to remember that she was soaked, and he quickly took off his coat to wrap
around her body before leaving together.

Leo was silently clenching his fists. As he was using so much strength, two veins had protruded from
his forehead at some point.

On the other hand, Amelie changed her clothes straight after returning to her office. When she came
out, she saw Toby sitting on the couch, lost in thought. “Mr. Walsh, why did you return? Is there
something wrong?”

Raising his head, Toby looked at her with something indefinable in his eyes.

“Was that because of… Leo?”

Amelie smiled. “It’s not for him. It’s for Bria’s custody.”

Though she spoke nonchalantly, it was like a kick in the gut for Toby. The pain was almost unbearable.

She was the owner of Starlight Media, yet she had to place herself in such an awkward position
because she wanted to maintain her daughter’s custody…

“I’m sorry.” He apologized again. “If I hadn’t done what I did and made Elliot Poole up, this wouldn’t
have—”

“It’s really not your fault.” Amelie shook her head. “Even if this hadn’t happened, the Alstons would
think of another way if they wanted Bria back.”

Toby quietly pursed his lips as his expression became more serious.



A while later, he spoke up. “I’ve already deleted that information, and I’m currently hunting down that
man who pretended to be Elliot. I believe we will be receiving news about this soon.”

Amelie hummed lightly in response and sat on her chair.

Perhaps she had been in the water for too long, and it made her look frail.

embrace and keep her safe from all this mess.

In the end, he could only force himself to look away.

“I will explain to Leo the truth,” he said.

“There’s no need for that.” Amelie drank a sip of water and sighed.

The problem between her and Leo was never misunderstandings but trust.

If Toby went and spoke up for her, it would make Leo doubt her even more, which wouldn’t help with
anything.

When Leo parked his car, he realized he had arrived at the kindergarten.

The kindergarten was located at Halport, a one-hour drive from Amelie’s company.

When he approached the kindergarten, he looked through the steel fence covered with /cartoon
characters and saw a bunch of children playing inside, including Bria.

She was wearing the white shirt and pleated dress distributed by the kindergarten. Her hair was tied up
into pigtails, and she was currently exercising according to the teacher’s instruction.

Her tiny legs were parted while her small hands drew circles in the air.



Since she was a tiny kid with tiny arms, she looked adorable when drawing circles with her hands.

Leo watched the scene in a daze.

“Excuse me, which child’s parent are you?” Seeing that he kept standing there, the teacher thought he
was here to send over something and came to ask.

When the teacher saw the extremely handsome man before her, she couldn’t help but blush.

Leo nodded politely before pointing at Bria. “I’m her father.”

“Father?” The teacher was shocked because she had never seen Bria’s father. Also, she heard that
Bria lived with her mom.

Without asking any further questions, the teacher nodded and called for Bria.

“Yes, Ms. Lowe,” Bria called out with red cheeks and a face full of smiles.

However, her smile disappeared when she saw Leo, and her eyes were instantly filled with alertness.

The smile from before disappeared without a trace.

The teacher was shocked to see Bria’s sudden change. “Bria, is he your dad?”

“Vor

Drin onlind coftly coomingly not too avrited shout this

The teacher instantly felt awkward.

“Ms. Lowe, I would like to have a private chat with her. Is that okay?” Leo asked.



The teacher didn’t say anything and opened the gate to let Leo in.

When Leo came inside, he grabbed Bria’s hand and asked, “Bria, would you like something to eat?”

Bria blinked her big, watery eyes, and her gaze landed on the huge freezer at the shop opposite the
kindergarten.

As Amelie strictly controlled the number of confections Bria was allowed to eat, Bria wasn’t allowed to
have ice cream that often.

The young child couldn’t stand the temptation of having ice cream. She subconsciously licked her lips
but didn’t say anything.

Leo saw her reaction and asked, “Would you like some ice cream? I’ll buy it for you.”

After saying that, he squatted down to pick her up before heading outside.

This was the first time Bria was held by her father.

When he picked her up, she was dumbfounded and looked at his broad chest. Daddy is bigger than
Mommy.It feels like his arms are stronger than Mommy’s too. Mom always looks out of breath carrying
me, but Dad does it effortlessly.

She looked around curiously as she discovered that her reign of sight was higher and broader when in
her father’s arms.

After paying for the most expensive ice cream in the shop, Leo carefully took off the wrapping and
handed it to her.

She hesitated for a while before lowering her head to lick the ice cream.

The ice cream tasted divinely sweet and cold.



Bria narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Leo suddenly felt his heart melt when he saw her cute actions.

This was the first time he discovered that children were such cute beings.

When Bria finished her ice cream, she no longer resisted or was wary of him. Also, she was willing to
talk to him.

Leo then asked her a few questions about her life with Amelie and how she was doing at school.

Lastly, he asked, “Bria, would you be willing to come home with me?”
