Mrs. Hayes had just finished speaking when Holly couldn’t help but nod eagerly, looking at Leo with bright anticipation.
"Sure, I’ll take you out to play later."
Leo gently ruffled Holly’s hair, his voice exceptionally tender.
Holly’s face imdiately blossod into a smile, joyful as a child who had received candy.
"Children are easily satisfied. How old is the little girl this year?"
Noah Raines looked at Holly and asked. The little girl seed very young.
"I think I’m twenty years old."
Holly counted on her fingers and then slowly lifted her eyes to look at Noah, her voice a bit unsure.
Noah: "..."
Indeed, asking soone with amnesia might not yield useful answers.
Wanting to go out and play, Leo naturally accompanied her, watching as the little girl blossod with happiness like a cheerful bird, making him feel quite good.
"Brother, I want ice cream, can you go buy it for ?"
Holly pointed to the ice cream shop across the street, stood on tiptoe, and looked at Leo with eager anticipation.
"Alright, wait for here obediently."
Leo couldn’t refuse. He gently ruffled Holly’s hair and then headed across the street to buy her ice cream.
"Co out."
As soon as Leo left, Holly’s expression changed, her previously smiling face now cold as ice.
"Boss."
Two n in suits walked up to Holly, respectfully greeting her with their heads slightly lowered.
"Why are you following ?"
Holly, with her hands in her pockets, coldly looked at the two n in front of her, her deanor indifferent.
"To protect you."
The two n spoke, their tone respectful.
"Do you think I need it?"
Holly raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She didn’t need anyone’s protection; she could protect herself. The best way for a person to protect themselves was to excel at disguises, which was exactly what Holly Sawyer did.
However, her approach to Leo was solely to protect him, with no malicious intent.
"Boss, you indeed don’t need it, but... do you truly want to stay and protect Leo?"
The two n exchanged a glance, and one of them hesitantly asked.
In their eyes, Holly was like a deity. They never imagined Holly would willingly disguise herself as an innocent girl to stay by Leo’s side and ensure his safety.
"Do you dare to question my decisions?"
Holly raised an eyebrow, her voice icy, as if her gaze contained shards of ice.
"We wouldn’t dare."
The two n imdiately bowed their heads, lapsing into silence.
They indeed wouldn’t dare, nor did they have any authority.
"The Pantheon’s current mission is to protect Leo. Report back that the Grant Family in Arkenfall plans to target him."
Holly’s expression grew cold as she slowly spoke.
Holly Sawyer was always one to repay kindness. Since Leo had shown her kindness, she was determined to protect him.
The Pantheon was a mysterious organization that instilled fear, and no one would imagine its leader was Holly, who appeared to be harmless.
"Understood."
The two n imdiately departed as Leo was about to return with ice cream.
Holly’s words were obeyed by them without question; they didn’t dare voice any opinions.
Leo had just purchased the ice cream and turned around to see two n standing next to Holly, but in a blink, they were gone.
Leo began doubting his eyesight; rubbing his eyes, all he saw was the little girl standing alone, waiting for him.
"Holly, were you standing here alone the whole ti?"
Leo handed the ice cream to Holly, suspiciously questioning her.
"Yep."
The little girl unhesitatingly nodded, looking completely serious, her deanor innocent and childlike.
Many people choose to believe a child’s words, firmly convinced that children wouldn’t lie.
Thus, Leo naturally chose to believe Holly, who played up the innocent childlike nature.
"Brother, this ice cream is delicious. Want a bite?"
The little girl took a bite of her ice cream, her face breaking into a bright smile, offering the bitten ice cream to Leo with a soft voice.
She seed like a little girl who didn’t mind details, pure and harmless.
"Brother doesn’t eat; Holly can have it."
Leo, amused, gently ruffled Holly’s hair, speaking softly.
"Holly needs to understand the difference between boys and girls, got it?"
Leo bent down slightly, staring into Holly’s eyes as he spoke.
"Brother, what does ’the difference between boys and girls’ an?"
Holly’s dark, grape-like eyes stared at Leo, tilting her head in confusion, questioning him.
She seed completely unaware, pure to the point of being naive.
"It ans you shouldn’t be close to boys, shouldn’t share food with them, eat by yourself, understand?"
Leo imdiately paused, looking at Holly, he gently sighed.
Is it that the little girl didn’t know these things, or did she forget them after losing her mory?
Leo suddenly started doubting Holly’s character, wondering if this was her personality before amnesia or after losing her mory.
"Oh, Holly understands, but..."
Holly feigned realization, but after a while, she looked down with a sad expression.
"What’s wrong?"
The little girl’s sudden sadness caught Leo off guard.
"But, but, can’t I give it to brother? Brother isn’t an outsider; brother is Holly’s closest person."
The little girl blinked innocently as she spoke, gesturing with her hands, appearing clumsy and incredibly cute.
"Hmm, everyone except brother."
Leo smiled helplessly, lightly ruffling Holly’s hair, speaking softly.
The little girl really was adorable.
Holly held her ice cream in one hand and Leo’s hand in the other, wandering among the food stalls.
Unlike other girls who shopped for clothes, makeup, and skincare products, she wandered through the food street.
"Holly, don’t you want to buy clothes?"
Leo looked at the bags of various foods in his hands, slowly asking.
"No."
Holly shook her head, biting on her milk tea straw, her cheeks puffed adorably.
The little girl indeed lived up to the reputation of being food-obsessed, focused solely on eating, seemingly gullible.
The two suited n hadn’t gone far; they kept observing Holly and Leo’s movents nearby, unsure how to react to Holly’s behavior.
She truly amazed them.
