After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 170

"You look like you've got a response." Leo said.

"Of course, this is an opportunity for me." I replied confidently, "A chance to prove myself to the world."

Leo paused, studying me for a moment before nodding thoughtfully.

"You've changed," he said softly. "I didn't expect you to handle it like this. I thought you'd be more... vulnerable."

I smirked. "I've always been strong. You just didn't notice it before. My most vulnerable time was when I was with you. But even that's in the past now."

expression faltered, a flicker of regret in his eyes. "I'll tell the PR team to back off," he said quietly.

"Good," I replied, turning away to give him space to make the call.

Once he hung up, he made no move to leave.

I turned to him, raising an eyebrow. "It's late. Why are you still here?" my look clearly said.

Leo stood in front of me, his expression firm. "You had a big incident today. I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone. I have to stay with you."

I couldn't help but let out a small laugh, mixed with frustration. "I'm not in any trouble at all. Really, you can go back."

But he was insistent, his voice calm yet unwavering. "No, I'm staying."

There was little I could do against his persistence, so I finally gave in, waving my hand in a gesture of surrender. "Fine. Stay, if you must."

That night, I retired to the master bedroom while Leo took the guest room.
