The bag slipped from Zoe's hands and hit the floor with a heavy thud.
She stood frozen, eyes wide, as Aldric kissed Amelia right there in front of everyone.
Aldric didn't hold back, his kiss was deep, intense, possessive.
His hand slid upward, cupping her breast before Amelia grabbed his wrist, breathless.
"Aldric…" she whispered, calling him back to himself.
Only then did he blink, as if remembering they weren't alone.
Leo felt his world crack.
His childhood love, being kissed like that in front of him.
His fists curled tight, jaw ticking with anger and disbelief.
Beside him, Irelia blinked up at her father.
"Dad… how did you even get here so fast?" she mumbled, more confused than anything.
Leo's voice suddenly cut through the silence.
"Who are you?!" he snapped, stepping forward. "Why the hell would you just walk up and kiss her? Do you go around kissing strangers?"
Aldric's lips curved in a slow, mocking smile.
"Strangers? She's my girlfriend. And I'm her boyfriend."
