Chapter 133

The signature put-together short hair and classic-looking face came into sight-it was none other than Toby Walsh.

Leo stiffened, and his eyes turned profound while the surrounding temperature dropped when he saw Toby, who also saw the pair before approaching them with a plain smile. “What? Have you guys been enchanted by the mother and daughter’s performance too?”

“No, we were just passing by.” Elyse fixed her image with breakneck speed and returned to her typical fair maiden look, smiling ambiguously at Toby while hinting, “I guess you weren’t lying about what you said, Mr. Walsh. You do have feelings for Miss Dillon.”

Toby smiled in response, and the smile pierced Leo’s heart, suffocating him as he reminded icily, “Have you forgotten that she’s now the first lady of Starlight Media?”

Nevertheless, Toby remained silent and only shifted his gaze to Leo as his smile deepened.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go,” Elyse interjected and hooked her arm around Leo’s.

To that, Leo said nothing but only turned to his vehicle.

“Do you not regret it, Leo?” Toby’s voice came from behind, causing him to stop in his tracks.

He stood with his head drooped and hands balled into fists on his sides. It was only a loose grip, but it made him look inexplicably lonely.

Elyse’s heart skipped a beat, and she bit the corner of her lip when she saw him like this. Just as she was about to say something, he began walking ahead.

After dropping Elyse off, Leo returned to the Alston Residence.

However, he stopped at the gates, leaving the vehicle stalling for a long time.

The dim, cold lighting cast on his obscure countenance made him look aloof and lonely.
