Chapter 155 Leo Senses Something Wrong

Leo's dark eyes narrowed slightly.

He wasn't a fool, and it didn't make much sense for Adeline to be at Curtis's place now.

However, when his gaze fell on his younger brother's smiling face, his gaze softened a bit, and there was a touch of indulgence.

Olivia's voice came from inside.

"Dad, why are you here?"

In the next moment, Olivia bounced over to Leo and gave him a big hug. "Dad, I've missed you so much!"

Leo smiled contentedly and patted Olivia's back. "You're all grown up and still acting like a baby."

Olivia pouted. "No matter how old I am, I'm still your baby."

Leo chuckled. "Alright, you're the best at buttering me up."

Adeline watched the interaction between Olivia and her father with envy.

Leo gently released Olivia and raised his chin slightly. "Let's go inside."

With that, he wheeled Curtis inside.

Adeline nervously stood in the living room and saw a middle-aged man in an apricot-colored windbreaker walk in.

He was slightly slender, and the windbreaker didn't give his frame the same robustness as Curtis, but he exuded a different charm.

Leo was in his early fifties, but he had taken good care of himself, appearing like a man in his early forties, mature and refined.

Adeline was somewhat nervous when she saw Leo and forgot to greet him.

Leo nodded slightly and smiled warmly when he saw her.

Once seated, Leo's concerned gaze fell on Curtis's legs. "How have you been lately? Any improvement?"

"About the same," Curtis replied vaguely.

Leo's eyes darkened slightly, and he patted Curtis's shoulder. "It will get better."

Then, Leo invited Adeline to sit. "Adeline, come, sit down. I came to see you this time."

Adeline walked over and took a seat across from Curtis. Olivia also sat down next to her.

Adeline walked over and chose to sit opposite Curtis. Olivia also sat beside her.

When Adeline sat down, Leo asked with a half-smile, "What brings you both to Curtis's place today?"

Leo wanted to know why Adeline was there.

Curtis wasn't known for being particularly welcoming or hospitable.

Without giving Adeline a chance to answer, Olivia chimed in.

"Dad, you might not know this yet, but my brother is unreliable. A director has been bothering Adeline; my brother left her behind and went on a business trip. If it weren't for Uncle Curtis helping Adeline and letting her stay here, she would have been in big trouble!"

"Oh?" Leo's lips stiffened slightly, and his gaze toward his brother deepened. "Curtis, you rarely meddle in other people's business."

With this remark, Adeline's heart skipped a beat.

Leo didn't seem like a wimp described in rumors.

On the contrary, he seemed pretty slick.

Curtis was about to speak, but Olivia chimed in again.

"But Adeline is our family. Uncle Curtis has to protect her, of course."

Leo chuckled and looked sincerely at Adeline. "Let's get back to that later. Adeline, I came today to apologize to you. I've already been to the police station to understand the situation. What Logan's mother did was wrong, and I apologize on her behalf."

Adeline calmly replied, "No, you are not the one who's supposed to apologize."

Leo waved his hand with a tinge of regret in his eyes. "No, I am responsible for it too. I spend all my time in the laboratory and often neglect what's happening with my family. Adeline, I have to say sorry to you."

After a brief pause, Leo had his assistant bring over some gifts. "These are some gifts I've prepared. I'll have the police provide a detailed explanation and request it to be posted at your school to restore your reputation.

And I'll ask Victoria to apologize to you in person. It was indeed our fault. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Adeline, could you do me a favor and withdraw the case?"
