Chapter 336
“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 nk. “Toby…” Even if Toby didn’t say anything, she could imagine how
ridiculous she looked—like aplete clown.
“I-I’m actually doing this for your own good. You’vee 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
exin. “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 likeparing 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 rtionship. As long as
we’re patient, it’s still possible.”
“I’m not regretting our rtionship. 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 oue 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 rify our rtionship.” 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 ept me?
“Remember, we’re impossible to be together!” Toby interrupted her. His eyes were clear butcking 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 rify their
rtionship 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 sess. He wanted to be 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
ying 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 seeded,
even if he didn’t deliberatelypete for the position of the heir, Alfred would certainly take notice. In
that way, Toby would be the heir to the Walsh Family, and no one else could take his ce.
“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 andfortable 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 ss, 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
ss. 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 werepletely 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 asionally 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 in water.”
She pushed the lemon honey water toward Leo and found a new ss to pour a ss of in 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 originallye 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 eximed 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!”
