Chapter 325 As His Girlfriend
Before Amelie could react, Leo removed her mask and pressed his lips onto hers, kissing her with all
his might.
She tried to struggle, but it was as though he had gone mad. He held her body tightly, pressing her
head down and not giving her any chance to escape. All she could do was whimper in protest, as she
was unable to form coherent words.
At this moment, he aggressively stirred inside her, blurring her world.
Suddenly, footsteps approached. Someone is coming!
Leo seemed to have lost his hearing as all he wanted to do was kiss her. His kiss turned fierce, as
though he was a wild beast, wanting to devour every inch of her.
Just then, the footsteps grew closer and closer. Judging from the sound, one could conclude that quite
a few of them were present.
It wasn't anyone else but Alfred and the others from the Walsh Family.
"There are many young people here tonight and young girls like desserts. Ask the kitchen to prepare
more, with a variety of options," Alfred said as he walked.
"Okay, Dad," his three daughters-in-law answered in unison, afraid of being slow in their responses.
Meanwhile, his three sons also followed closely, serving and attending to him. Behind them was the
younger generation of the Walsh Family.
As the group marched forward, Amelie and Leo would soon be seen just around a corner.
Since the banquet was about to start, Alfred was in a hurry to get to the hall, so his steps were faster
than usual.
At this moment, Amelie was completely stunned. All she felt was her head ringing, and she could
already imagine the kind of reaction the Walshes would have when they saw this scene. However, she
had no way to defend herself as Leo was acting like a total lunatic.
"Grandpa, the butler said he saw a snake around here this morning. It might not be safe to take this
route. Let's use another way." Toby suddenly interjected as Alfred was about to step into the corner.
"A snake?" Alfred wasn't too concerned, but the people around him became anxious. "It's your birthday
today. It will be such a jinx if we encounter a snake."
"That's right. If any of us gets bitten by a snake, it will ruin your birthday, and it will be a sin for us as
children."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"We'd rather take the long way than risk it."
Alfred didn't want a snake to ruin everyone's mood, so he nodded. "Alright. Let's take the long way
then."
After he said that, footsteps sounded once again.
Only when the group walked away did Amelie's heart, which had been pounding so quickly in her
chest, slowly calm down. After a long time, Leo finally let go of her.
Under the moonlight showed his handsome face, as if the lunatic just now was not him.
He held her face and put her mask back on. With his fingertips, he touched her face gently and softly.
Without thinking, Amelie raised her hand and slapped him hard. Slap! She used all her strength in this
slap, making the crisp sound echo through the night.
Leo's face was slightly tilted by the slap. Even though the streetlights were dim, the finger mark on his
fair face was still visible, displaying a disheveled beauty.
"You can slap me again if you still need to vent." He held her hand, gesturing for her to slap his face
again. He was crazy just now, but he didn't regret it.
Speechless, she shook off his hand and turned to leave.
Yet, he followed her. "They said there's a snake here. I'll walk with you." Big Eyes is most afraid of
snakes.
"No need." A warm male voice came through before Amelie could speak.
Following that, Toby's face appeared in the corner. Even in the dim light, he still had his usual gentle
look on, making people feel at ease.
The moment Amelie saw him, she was surprised that he hadn't left earlier. Then, an embarrassed look
overtook her face. If he didn't leave just now, he probably saw everything. Even though her face was
hidden behind the mask, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
However, Toby seemed oblivious to the situation and just smiled at her, his gaze falling on Leo. "I'll take
care of Foxy's safety." His gaze was calm, no different from usual.
Following his appearance, Leo's previously clear eyes darkened at once.
Amelie didn't want to stay there any longer and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she turned
around and walked away.
Bam! A muffled sound suddenly came from beside her, followed by a groan of pain. Then, someone fell
to the ground. It was Toby!
It turned out that Leo had walked up to him at some point and mercilessly punched him in the face.
Toby's face instantly swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Leo looked like a crazed beast, glaring at Toby with his fists clenched tightly. It was as
though he was killing Toby over and over again with his deadly gaze.
However, Toby was not afraid of his gaze. When he propped himself up, he even smiled at Leo and
didn't rush to stand up.
"Leo! What's wrong with you?" Amelie shouted, running over to help Toby up. "Are you okay?" She kept
checking his face.
"I'm fine," Toby replied with a smile. His eyes were still fixed on Leo, and his lips curled in a provocative
smile.
"Leo, Elie came here tonight as my girlfriend. You won't embarrass her again, will you?" He said 'again'.
It was obvious that he saw everything that had just happened. This was also the reason why he asked
Alfred and the others to change their route.
Without responding, Leo shifted his gaze to Amelie.
Under his gaze, she took out a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped the wound on Toby's face. Her
eyes were focused and serious, but it felt like a sharp knife piercing through Leo's heart that he couldn't
remove, no matter how hard he tried, causing him intense pain.
Unable to bear watching any longer, he turned and walked away.
"Sorry," Amelie said when she saw that Leo walked further from the corners of her eyes. At the same
time, she took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Toby.
At this moment, an unnoticeable, bitter smile played on Toby's lips. "You were just being nice to me
earlier to make Leo give up, weren't you?"
She felt a little awkward but didn't deny it. She did that because she didn't like Leo pestering her.
"Shouldn't we find a doctor to take a look at your injury?" she said, reaching for her phone.
However, he held her hand down. "It's just a minor injury. No need to make a big deal out of it."
Although it was a minor injury, his face was swollen, and blood was trickling from the corner of his
mouth. Amelie just felt sorry for him.
It was Alfred's birthday celebration, so he had to greet the guests. If he looked disheveled, it would
inevitably cause suspicion and could potentially affect Alfred's impression of him.
Toby seemed to read her mind as he held up a fox mask in his hand. "This will cover everything up. No
one will be able to tell." He had somehow acquired a fox mask that was the same as hers, but it wasn't
as white and had a bit of gray in it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter putting on the mask, he reached out his hand to her. "We're a couple, after all. If we act too
awkwardly, it will arouse suspicion among my family members."
When she overheard the words of Brenda and Eunice just now, she knew that every member of this
family had ulterior motives and was very observant. So, she could only nod and place her hand in his
palm.
He lowered his head to look at the small hand that had fallen into his palm. Her skin was as fair as
porcelain, and her fingers were exquisitely shaped, slender, and delicate, as beautiful as a work of art.
Without a word, he held it, not squeezing it too tightly, keeping a certain level of etiquette.
At the same time, she noticed that he held her hand with great tact. Although slightly uncomfortable,
she didn't say anything, and they walked together toward the hall.
In the hall, Leo stood silently among the crowd.
Perhaps it was due to the finger marks on his face that made his expression even more solemn and
cold. With his extraordinary handsomeness, he caused countless women to drool in admiration, but no
one dared to approach him.
On the stage, Alfred was giving a speech with his three sons by his side. Meanwhile, in the front row,
his grandchildren stood and listened attentively.
Michelle, the youngest daughter of Scott Walsh, Alfred's eldest son, had been turning her head multiple
times, looking beyond the crowd to cast admiring glances at Leo.
Just now, Brenda had a secret conversation with her, saying that Leo still didn't have a girlfriend. If she
could win him over, the inheritance of the Walsh Family would be secure in their hands.
Although she was not particularly interested in the inheritance of the Walsh Family, she was obsessed
with Leo.
Previously, he was either dating someone or married, so she could only secretly admire him. This time,
when he returned from studying abroad, he had not only divorced but also separated from Elyse, the
woman he initially liked. This made her see hope.
Before Alfred finished his speech on the stage, she took two glasses of wine from the servant's hand
and quietly walked over to Leo's side. "Long time no see, Leo."
When she said that, Leo turned around.
When she saw that he reacted, she was both happy and shy, so her face started flushing. However, he
didn't take the glass from her even after a long time.
Puzzled, she couldn't help but look at him. Only then did she realize that he was not looking at her but
in another direction through her shoulder. Over there, two figures, one male and one female, were
slowly appearing.
