When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 204

a few times before!” Bria said unhappily, her tiny face filled with stubbornness.Chloe sounded a heavy huff. “Who knows who that man is! Anyway, he isn’t your daddy!”With that, she looked at the other children. “Whoever becomes friends with her will be a liar, just like her!” The children didn’t want to be liars, so they quickly put the snacks back.Bria looked at the returned snacks, a wronged expression surfacing on her clean little face as her eyes turned red.“I’m not a liar,” she repeated.However, Chloe had spoken so firmly and even mentioned the teachers, so who would doubt her?“Turns out that Bria is a liar all along.”“She lied to us.”“We don’t want to be liars.”“Let’s not play with her anymore.”“…”“What’s the matter?”While the children were talking, a deep man’s voice sounded.Everyone turned around to see a handsome man standing not far away.The man was very tall, and his clothes were very neat. He had long fingers and long legs.They had never met this man before, and they all stared at him with huge, curious eyes.Leo weaved through the crowd and made his way to Bria. “Bria, sorry to keep you waiting.”He kneeled in front of Bria, his voice gentle as he spoke.When Bria saw Leo, her face brightened up joyfully as she shouted, “Daddy!”She reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around Leo’s neck. “Daddy, why are you late?”Leo pursed his lips, a little regretful as he said, “I got delayed on my way.”The other children fell silent.They gathered behind the two, their large eyes gazing at Bria and Leo.“Bria does have a daddy,” someone mumbled.It was only then that Bria let go of Leo, introducing him proudly, “This is my daddy.”Chloe was at a loss for words, and she widened her eyes in disbelief.She never thought that Bria would have a father and such a handsome one at that.He was as handsome as the celebrities on TV.In fact, he was even more handsome than her father!“What happened just now? Did they bully you, Bria?” Even though Leo had just gotten out of the car, he still noticed Bria’s pitiful expression.He looked at Bria, his voice cold as he spoke.The other children all turned to look at Chloe, and the girl took a step back timidly.“Mr. Alston, what a surprise it is to see you here.”A man and a woman walked into the crowd, smiling as they greeted Leo.Even though they were in Halport, the Alstons’ business was expansive, so the two recognized him.The woman bent over and took Chloe into her arms. “Children always make a ruckus, and they don’t always watch their words. I hope you and Bria can forgive her.”Leo’s expression remained cold.Even though he wasn’t looking at the two, a chilly aura exuded from him as if he were a moving fridge.“I can understand children being careless with their words, but it is the adults’ responsibility to teach and correct them,” he said calmly.“Well…” The couple exchanged glances, their faces turning red.They had been standing nearby when Chloe bullied Bria, but they pretended not to have seen it.They behaved like this since they didn’t know Bria was Leo’s child.Furthermore, they were also upset that the teacher had given Bria all the flowers, so they wanted Chloe to teach Bria a little lesson. Most of all, they just wanted to pamper their daughter and let her be.They were originally thinking of getting on good terms with Leo so that they could get some business.Now that things had turned out like this, they no longer stood a chance—perhaps they would never have a chance in the future.The man and woman were feeling unspeakably defeated and greatly regretted their selfish behavior just now.Leo didn’t say anything else to them as he picked Bria up. “Where’s Mommy? Let’s look for her together.”It wasn’t until the two had walked away that the children came to their senses.They were all intimidated by Leo’s aura just now, and none of them dared to make a sound or even move.“Turns out that Chloe is the real liar!” A child pointed at Chloe and shouted.The other children started scolding her as well.Chloe’s parents were dejected and could do nothing but slip away.Meanwhile, Amelie had just emerged from the washroom.She was worried about Bria’s inconvenience, so she couldn’t help but walk a
