Chapter 232 Who Won in the End?
"You want to eat, huh? Let me stuff you to death," Dave thought mischievously as he relentlessly shoveled food into Leo’s mouth, not waiting for him to properly chew and swallow what was already there. Dave’s playful competitiveness emerged once more, and even Zhane, known for his stern demeanor, couldn’t suppress a soft chuckle while watching Dave and Leo. Dave seemed to be playing the role of a jealous spouse at that moment.
Leo glared menacingly at Dave, fully aware of Dave’s intentions, but refrained from retaliating because Hera was present. Since Dave had chosen to provoke him, Leo decided to play along, confident he wouldn’t be seen as the antagonist.
Shortly after, Leo coughed harshly, struggling to keep from spitting out the food Dave had stuffed into his mouth.
Cough-
Cough-
Cough-
Hera hurriedly poured water for Leo, her concern evident as she glanced worriedly at him. If Dave hadn’t been in the way, she would have leapt out of bed to comfort Leo as he struggled with his coughing fit. Leo’s eyes, teary and glazed, made him look pitifully handsome, tugging at Hera’s heartstrings. Feeling sorry for him, she gently reached out to his hand resting on the table within her reach.
"Are you okay?" Her voice softened as if trying to comfort and reassure him with every gentle word.
Dave, who had been enjoying tormenting Leo, suddenly froze with his mouth open and eyes wide as he watched the scene unfold. It was evident to everyone present that Dave’s actions were openly bullying Leo, causing him to cough and struggle after being forcefully fed by Dave.
Dave’s mouth opened and closed repeatedly, struggling to find words to explain himself. He resembled a child caught red-handed in the act. After Hera finished checking on Leo, she turned her stern gaze towards Dave, clearly ready to reprimand him. Leo glanced at Dave with a teasing smirk, which only fueled Dave’s anger. It infuriated him to see Leo taunting him like this, tempting Dave to continue stuffing Leo’s face out of sheer annoyance.
Meanwhile, Zhane quietly observed the silent confrontation between Leo and Dave. His gaze shifted to Leo’s face, which had shown clear distress while looking at Hera just moments ago, but now sported a taunting expression aimed at Dave from behind Hera’s protective presence. Zhane could sense Dave’s rising anger, nearly palpable in the room. He had always considered Dave the most cunning and mischievous among their friends, but it seemed Leo had surprised them all with his adeptness at turning the tables.
