When I Was A Wallflower

Leo didn't respond and merely flicked off the inexistent lint on his pants.

Chandler, who was ignored, looked at him pitifully with teary eyes. "I know you think I'm back to get a share of the inheritance. But I know my position. I was never an Alston. So, I never dared to imagine such a thing."

He raised his hand. "I swear on my life that if I coveted even a penny of the Alston Family, I'd suffer in hell."

Only then did Leo turn his head to look at Chandler. However, he still stayed silent, but the fierce glint in his eyes was unmistakable.

Chandler's heartbeat furiously as he saw the knowing look in Leo's eyes. It was as if Leo knew everything.

How could that be? Chandler had been cautious to hide his true thoughts. And it was true that none of them were about inheritance.

"L-Leo, why are you looking at me like that?" he stuttered as though the cat got his tongue.

Finally, after what seemed like a decade, Leo averted his gaze away, but he still didn't deign to give him a response.

He leaned forward and carried the baby, who was sitting by his leg, before standing up and walking away from Chandler. "Let's cut the cake."

The cake-cutting ceremony went by without problems with Leila's help.

"This is for you, Mr. Alston." Leila passed him a slice of cake.

Leo accepted the plate and took a spoonful but didn't eat it. Instead, he put the spoon into the baby's mouth.

The little guy had his mouth wide open, and the spoon went in. But, he impatiently chomped down, so the spoon was stuck in his mouth. Leo wasn't afraid of the mess and gently nudged the spoon out before continuing to feed him.

Leila watched as Leo fed the child with his long slender fingers holding the spoon. Although he was doing something so down to earth, he still looked as noble as ever.

"Miss Potts, a new baby will be delivered in a couple of months. Please prepare the necessary items for the newborn," Leo ordered as he fed the child.
