When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Separate Amelie From Her Child

Leo pried open Elyse’s fingers one by one and pushed her hand away.

“You are not Big Eyes!” he growled.

Elyse stared at him with disbelief. “Leo…”

Did he find out that I replaced Amelie? Is this the end of me?

Elyse plopped to the ground and shuddered, unable to support herself anymore.

The warmth in Leo’s eyes had completely dissipated, leaving only a gloomy shade covering his eyes.

Looking at her pitiful face, he suppressed the distaste he had for her and spat, “Big Eyes wasn’t as evil as you are. You are no longer worthy of this name! You are no longer whom you used to be!”

With that, he strode away.

“Elyse!”

Before long, Ashton came running into the ward.

Seeing Elyse throwing herself on the ground, he was extremely shocked as he hurried over to help her up.

“Did Leo push you? Since when he became so ruthless?!” Ashton was currently fuming with anger, and his chest was burning as he declared, “I’ll go find him!”

“Don’t—”

Elyse tugged at the hem of his shirt and muttered while shaking her head weakly.

However, she managed to heave a sigh of relief, and a hint of color quickly returned to her cheeks.

Leo still wasn’t aware of the secret, so she was safe.

She still had a place in his heart.

The more she knew why Leo pampered and indulged her before, the more confident she was in the importance of the identity ‘Big Eyes.’

It was definitely a privilege token!

She didn’t bother hating the identity that she impersonated. Instead, she was glad that she discovered it a long time ago and had been using it to avoid getting into trouble again and again.

“Help me get up,” she ordered.

Ashton quickly helped her up and put her on the bed.

Elyse leaned against the back of the bed and closed her eyes.

When Ashton’s gaze fell on her delicate little face, he felt distressed. “Why did Leo treat you like that?”

Elyse didn’t want to talk about what happened as it would be better if fewer people knew about the secret about ‘Big Eyes.’

“It’s nothing. Just a misunderstanding between us.” She deliberately played it off.

Ashton didn’t give up on badgering her, “What kind of misunderstanding made him treat you this way? He wasn’t like this before!”

Previously, Leo had always treated Elyse like a precious baby.

“Amelie must have done something! She wants to get Leo back! In that case, we must ensure that that child’s identity will not be exposed. It is best to keep Leo in the dark for the rest of his life! Yes, I shall do that right away.”

After saying that, he strode out of the ward.

“Wait!” Elyse called out to him.

Her eyes sparkled, and a sharp light flickered in her eyes.

“No. Don’t hide it,” she uttered.

Under her eyelashes, her dark orbs turned cold as she spoke. “We don’t have to hide it. In fact, we will tell Leo that the child is his!”

Ashton looked at Elyse in disbelief and worry quickly spread across his face. “Elyse, I know you must be overwhelmed, but even so, you have to think for yourself. Once Leo knows about it—”

“Once he knows, he will want that child back!” Elyse answered him very quickly without any trace of concern on her face.

Ashton was the only one who was restless.

“That child cannot return to the Alston Family!”

“She has to!” Elyse insisted stubbornly.

There was no longer a hint of sadness in her eyes. All that was present was resentment. She clutched the hem of her shirt and grunted, “I want Amelie Dillon to pay the price!”

Since the recording in Leo’s phone was a private conversation between her and Amelie, she assumed that it was Amelie who recorded it and sent it to him.
