    Amelie was trying to guess whether it was a bear or a person when suddenly, the rustling sound behind


    her grew louder. In a sh, a powerful force struck her neck from behind! She quickly ducked out of the


    way and grabbed the hand, reaching for her. Twisting her body, she slipped under the other person’s


    arm and tried to throw them over her shoulder in one move. “It’s me!” a low voice suddenly said, and a


    hand pressed down on her shoulder, halting her movement.She was momentarily stunned, but then


    she heard the name she recognized well.“I’m Leo.”“Leo?” She turned around and shone the phone’s


    light on him. Then, she saw the sharp line of his jaw and, above that, his pursed lips, nose, and those


    clear, stern, and always indifferent eyes. He was staring at her, his eyes wide with surprise.“You know


    martial arts?” She would have thrown him off if he hadn’t called out in time.“I learned a little before,”


    Amelie replied casually, not wanting to say much. She turned her body and met Leo’s gaze, standing


    straight andposed. His height gave him a clear advantage, and he looked down at her as if he


    wanted to see right through her.“How much do you know?” he asked, feeling he didn’t know his former


    wife. She’s a social media star, a racecar driver, and now she knows martial arts?“Not much,” she


    replied, thinking they no longer needed to be honest with one another. After their divorce, it was no


    longer necessary for him to boastfully list her qualities. On the other hand, these were merely hobbies


    for her, and she never felt conceited about learning them.“I’m gonna go patrol,” she said and walked


    away.Nheless, Leo did not leave but instead followed Amelie. “Are you alone?”After Fabian left, he


    entrusted the patrol work to Chester. There was an initial request for a man and a woman to patrol


    together, but no specific details were provided.“key’s not feeling well, so I didn’t wake him up,” she


    responded truthfully. She knew martial arts and could easily defeat the typical bad guys and small


    animals. So, having him around wouldn’t do her much good if a ferocious and dangerous animal


    came.A cold and sarcastic “Hmph!” sounded beside her as soon as she finished speaking.“You’re so


    concerned about him.”I assumed ke has feelings for her, but it appears she is providing him with


    more care. Suddenly, a sour feeling rose in Leo’s stomach, and he clenched his fists silently at his


    side.These words made Amelie very ufortable, so she turned to look at him. His face, already


    solemn, was now dark and icy, and he lifted the corner of his lips in a mocking arc. The mockery was


    extremely obvious, as if she had done something shameful.“Is there a problem?” She didn’t like his


    insinuating tone and decided not to exin. Then, she looked straight into his eyes with apletely


    open and honest expression. “Whom I care about is none of your business, Mr. Alston.”As her words


    pushed him into a corner, his chest tightened, and he struggled to catch his breath. “Did you forget


    what I said?”Amelie rubbed her ear, pausing to remember. “You mean the thing about me not being


    qualified to find a stepfather for Bria? Whichw states that Mr. Alston? Or is it your ego talking? Do


    you think that anyone who’s been your ex-wife must simply rot away?”Nevertheless, Leo was indeed


    letting his ego get in the way, but he never thought about letting her rot away.“You have people you


    want to care for, and I have mine. Even though we are Bria’s parents, we are divorced now, and I hope


    you won’t cross my boundaries next time!” She spoke clearly and confidently, with no hesitation in her


    words.Hearing that, his face instantly went ck, and he walked away from her without saying a word.


    Is he angry? She shrugged in resignation. Everything she said was true, and if he could do it, why


    couldn’t she say it?…When Amelie returned from her patrol, ke was already awake. His clean,


    youthful face was tinged with a hint of disappointment. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”“Whether it’s one


    person or two, it’s still the same patrol. Since nothing happened outside, I went alone.” She knew he


    had self-esteem, so she didn’t mention his condition and spoke indifferently. After all, the reason he


    intended to give up ice skating was because of the injuries he had.“It’s not the same,” he muttered. I


    should be the one patrolling alone, not you.“You can’t go alone next time,” ke said softly. He was


    always gentle with Amelie, even though he felt unhappy. Then, his bangs fell over his eyes, making him


    look like a handsome young nobleman, but there was a sense of loneliness and distress in his eyes. I


    can’t figure out how to get her to depend on me.“How about youe patrol with me, key?” Jodie


    ran over, intentionally making her voice sound coy. She was pretty annoyed when Chester scheduled


    her to patrol. However, when she saw ke had woken up, she immediately suggested he go with


    her.“Okay.” He nodded.Seeing him agree, she was overjoyed. “Really?” She thought he would


    refuse.On the other hand, he didn’t say anything and got up from his sleeping bag. Then, he walked


    outside, and she followed him out. When they were outside the building, she couldn’t help but hook her


    arm around his and press her body against him.Then, ke stopped and looked at the arm that was


    hooked around his arm with his clear, innocent eyes. Jodie saw that he was looking at her arm and


    quickly said in a coy voice, “I’m terrified. It’s so dark around here, and it’s terrifying.”“If you’re scared,


    Miss Alston, you should return first.” Following that, he pushed her hand away. “Besides, I’m not


    interested in you, so you don’t need to waste your time with me.”“key—”After hearing his first


    sentence, she was thrilled because she believed he cared about her. Then, his final words were a p


    to the face in the form of an emotional blow to her. Instantaneously, her smile froze into a weird,


    grotesque expression as he wasted no more words and walked away. “Damn it! Damn it!” She kicked


    and screamed for a while before regaining her senses.Meanwhile, Elyse was upstairs, silently


    observing the scenes below before gazing at the man across from her.When Leo returned, she was


    awake and could tell he was in a bad mood. She had also seen him talking with Amelie downstairs.


    Although Elyse didn’t know what they had said, it was clear from his expression that Amelie had made


    him angry. Despite his anger, he tucked Amelie into her sleeping bag and even removed his jacket to


    drape over her as if she was not warm enough.Soon, Amelie was fast asleep and unaware of his caring


    act, but Elyse could see everything clearly. Although his face was cold and harsh, the look in his eyes


    was tender. He seemed to want to envelop the woman in front of him in his warm embrace. Although


    his movements were tense and his fingers clenched hard, his touch was incredibly light. He wasn’t


    covering her with a nket but hiding a precious gem.Nheless, Elyse was not unfamiliar with Leo’s


    tenderness because he used to treat her that way too. However, all these privileges were gone, and


    she gripped the nket tightly with tears in her eyes. She wanted to scream and reim her ce in


    his heart. That woman, Amelie, has taken everything away from me! Ever since she appeared, I


    haven’t been happy for even one day!Hatred filled her heart, and she suddenly had a wicked idea. Her


    gaze turned cold and locked onto Jodie downstairs. Although I can’t make a direct move on Amelie,


    there is someone who can.
