Someone held her just in time, though barely—it was the driver. Before Amelie could do anything, she was held by the waist and pulled away from the driver just then. Then, she saw the silhouette of a man standing beside her. It belonged to someone she could recognize anywhere.
Leo was silent. His lips were pursed, and he shot a sharp look at the woman who mindlessly opened her door without checking her surroundings. Scared, the woman fell back into the car, and the door slid shut automatically, slamming into her foot.
The driver—most likely the woman’s boyfriend—tried to help, but he was too late.
The woman howled in pain.
“Next time you’re so careless, you’re not getting off with just a bruised foot,” said Leo coolly.
When the driver raised his head to meet Leo’s eyes, he froze as if stricken by fear. In most cases, the man should’ve fought with Leo to protect his girlfriend, but the murderous gleam within Leo’s gaze had made him chicken out.
Amelie thought the way Leo punished the woman was a bit too much, though what the woman did earlier was indeed careless. If Amelie hadn’t moved back fast enough, the door would have slammed into Bria and her. In the end, she merely thanked the man and didn’t say anything else after that.
Leo pulled his hand back and took Bria into his arms. Then, he went ahead without saying another word.
