Chapter 206

“How many sets of tools will you need?” the staff member asked.

Amelie hesitated for a while. “You can give me two sets,” she finally said.

as she worked on her task. Meanwhile, Amelie stole a few glances at Leo while they worked. She was genuinely curious—she had never seen Leo clean up after himself in her whole life, and she was nearly convinced that Leo didn’t even know how to hold

Amelie saw the rocks flying in Bria’s direction, and she instinctively threw herself over Bria. Amelie could hear the rocks knocking against one another as they flew
