Chapter 336 You Better Not Mess Around

"Don't do it!" Serenity panicked as she saw Toby dialing Theodore's number without blinking. She knocked his phone off his hand, then picked it up and quickly hung up the call. When she looked up, all she saw was the lucidity and sarcasm in Toby's eyes.

Serenity's mind went blank. "Toby..." Even if Toby didn't say anything, she could imagine how ridiculous she looked—like a complete clown.

"I-I'm actually doing this for your own good. You've come this far and achieved so much; you can't give up now. Toby, you're so talented! You can't ruin yourself because of me!" Serenity hurriedly tried to explain. "You know that I don't mind suffering. But I can't let you suffer."

"Heh!" Toby snatched his phone back from her fingers, his sarcasm even more pronounced. If Amelie said those words, he would never doubt her. But Serenity... Toby even felt like comparing Serenity to Amelie was an insult to Amelie.

"I actually divorced him already, really!" Serenity desperately tried to get his trust back, moving closer to him.

Toby still only smiled. "What a pity."

"What do you mean?" Serenity looked at him.

Toby stretched his eyebrows, but his eyes were not showing any anger. He looked straight ahead, thinking about something. In any case, it had nothing to do with her. As a woman, she could feel that he was thinking about another woman.

"Toby..." She called out to him again, unwilling to give up. Toby finally looked at her, his gaze as warm as before. This gave Serenity a glimmer of hope. "I know you're regretting our relationship. As long as we'reProperty © of NôvelDrama.Org.

patient, it's still possible."

"I'm not regretting our relationship. I regret that when I was willing to give up everything, there wasn't a foolish girl willing to be with me unconditionally." He was thinking of Amelie. If he had met her earlier, the outcome might have been different.

Serenity's face turned pale. "I have my reasons; I'm doing this for you—"

"You don't need to tell anyone about your divorce or clarify our relationship." Toby didn't want to listen to this boring topic anymore and interrupted her.

Although so, Serenity's eyes lit up. "So—" Is he willing to accept me?

"Remember, we're impossible to be together!" Toby interrupted her. His eyes were clear but lacking in tenderness.

"You..." Serenity was stunned and couldn't understand why he made such a contradictory decision. Toby raised his chin slightly in goodbye and walked away. The evening breeze was cold as it blew his hair into a mess. He was smiling and his eyes were clear. He only allowed Serenity not to clarify their relationship because of Amelie. Amelie always kept her guard up because of his status as a single man, making it impossible for him to approach her. He raised his fist to the sky, using all his strength. It was time to strive for success. He wanted to become stronger and match her.

Toby took out his phone, dialed a number, and put it to his ear. "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to start a business in Quima? I'm willing to give it a try."

"You want to go?" Theodore was stunned when he received his son's call, thinking his ears were playing tricks on him. "Weren't you reluctant to do it before?"

Toby didn't respond. Theodore had to remind him, "You have to think it through. Doing business in Quima is difficult and risky."

"No matter how difficult it is, I have to give it a try," Toby said.

Theodore couldn't understand why his son suddenly became so enthusiastic. He was willing to try and take risks, which was very much in line with his father's expectations. Once this son of his succeeded, even if he didn't deliberately compete for the position of the heir, Alfred would certainly take notice. In that way, Toby would become the heir to the Walsh Family, and no one else could take his place.

"Good!" Theodore nodded in satisfaction. He felt excitement rise in him. My son has finally grown up.

Leo brought Amelie into a restaurant, which had a quiet atmosphere and comfortable sofa seats. Amelie sat near the edge of the sofa, indicating that she didn't want to sit with Leo. He didn't force her and sat across from her. After his deep gaze roamed around her for a moment, he picked up his phone to order. "What do you want to eat?"

"I'm not hungry. Just water is fine," Amelie said lightly.

Like she just said, she had just eaten. The smell of food made her nauseous. When the server heard that she wanted water, they immediately brought over a jug of water and wanted to pour water into Amelie's glass, but Leo stopped them midway.

"Do you have lemon and honey?"

"Yes." The server quickly brought a lemon and a small bottle of honey to the table. Leo took out a small knife and sliced the lemon into pieces, then used a pair of tweezers to put the lemon slices into the glass. He then poured a small amount of honey and a little water, then stirred it. All of it was done with precision, and his movements were pleasing to the eye. The surrounding servers couldn't help but look over.

Leo stirred for a while, until the water and honey were completely blended, before adding more water to the cup and filling it halfway. "Drink it," he said as he handed the cup to Amelie.

"Wow, how thoughtful of him!" When the servers saw how much effort he put into making the lemon honey water for Amelie, they couldn't help but admire him.

"And so handsome too."

"If there were a man like him chasing after me, I would wake up smiling every day."

Everyone whispered to each other as they inevitably looked at Amelie. Amelie was beautiful and charming, and every move and smile of hers was exquisite.

"Ah, what a match made in heaven."

"That's why beautiful women and handsome men belong together. We should just live our lives as ordinary people."

"Hmph, why can't I be that beautiful?"

Their whispers were quiet, but occasionally a few words drifted into Amelie's ears. She looked at the lemon honey water that Leo had carefully prepared and sighed silently. "I prefer to drink plain water."

She pushed the lemon honey water toward Leo and found a new glass to pour a glass of plain water for herself. Then, she lowered her head and took a sip. The taste was light and refreshing, just like her current mood. Leo silently watched her drink water, his deep and dark gaze falling on her lips which were moist from the water. She was polite and smiling to everyone else, but cold and indifferent to him. Although he knew it was the bitter fruit he had sown, he still felt frustrated.

"I'm going to the restroom." After speaking, Leo stood up and walked quickly toward the opposite corridor.

"Hey, isn't that Leo? He's with Amelie?"

Jodie and Melissa walked up together. They had originally come to have lunch, but as soon as they entered, they saw Leo striding toward the direction of the restroom. Behind him was Amelie sitting there. Jodie exclaimed in surprise. Melissa also saw the two of them, and her well-maintained face suddenly froze. Even her usual air of superiority lost its color as she followed Leo. Jodie, on the other hand, walked toward Amelie in her high heels. "Dillon, do you have no shame?"

Jodie couldn't suppress her anger and shouted at Amelie. "You're already married, yet you still mess around with my brother! What do you want? I've never seen anyone with such thick skin as you!"

If it weren't for Amelie's methods which Jodie was wary of, Jodie would have probably attacked her already. This woman just looks so repulsive! Jodie's feelings toward Amelie were more about jealousy than anything else. A divorced woman like her was actually able to marry the boss of Starlight Media! The more jealous Jodie felt, the harsher her words became. "Don't even think about two-timing with my brother! He is not someone whom you can associate with! I advise you to be smart and leave now!"

Amelie rubbed her temples in pain. Leo was enough to annoy her, and now there was Jodie! Is this ever going to end?

Although she was annoyed, she didn't show it and just stood up.

Seeing Amelie stand up, Jodie reflexively shielded her face with her hand with obvious caution in her eyes. "Y-You better not touch me!"
