When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Amelie tilted her head just in time to get away from the slap, but she couldn’t evade the nails. It clawed across her cheeks, leaving a burning wound. Amelie stood still and finally saw who was standing before her. Jodie. “Are you mad, Jodie?” she roared.

Jodie’s eyes were flaring with fury. “I’m mad? Do you know what you just did, you whore? I thought you promised you would never see my brother again! But you just talked to him, didn’t you?”

Wait, what? Oh, oh, this is a misunderstanding. She calmed down and said, “It’s just a chance meeting.”

Jodie sneered. “As if.”

Welp, she doesn’t believe me. No point talking to her then. Amelie stared at the ground. “Fine. Ask your brother then. See what he has to say.”

“You could’ve stalked him for all he knew. And this chance encounter is probably something you’ve tried to pull off for some time now. He doesn’t know that, but I do. There’s no proof that you’re telling the truth.”

How on earth did she even come up with that? Oh, wait. Projection? No need to keep talking, then. She’s just going to twist everything I say to fit her narrative.

Oh, she’s not saying anything. I knew it. Jodie’s face contorted with rage. “So, you’ve chosen the hard way. Fine, one painful lesson coming your way.” She shot Amelie a nasty glare and stormed off into the distance.

Amelie shook her head. She didn’t care about this little episode, but that threat concerned her a little. I have a feeling she’s up to something. But nothing happened for a while, and Amelie put the whole thing behind her.

Finally, Bria healed up, and she said she wanted to go to school.

“You should stay Leo promised he wouldn’t try to take Bria away from you,” Julia said. “Your whole career is built on this land. And living near all the places you need is convenient. Besides, it’s a big city. You can’t run into him unless you want to.”

Amelie looked at Bria and shook her head. Leo’s existence alone was a painful reminder of what Bria could never get. Even if they wouldn’t meet, she didn’t want to take the chance. In the end, Amelie got a big house in. Halport, a city near Clouson City. And then she and Bria moved to Halport.

Steven had finished his work. He too moved together, even though he didn’t like city life that much. But his granddaughter wanted to live with him, so he agreed to move.

Halport was an hour away from Clouson City by car.

It wasn’t far, but it barely had any connection to Clouson City. Thanks to that, Bria would have a lower chance of running into Leo and Elyse’s child in the future.

Amelie wanted nothing but the best for her daughter, and she had made a lot of plans for Bria. Now that she had Steven helping her with Bria, she didn’t have to keep an eye on her at all times. She still had time to run Starlight and her live stream business.

One day after they moved to Halport, Amelie enrolled her daughter in a kindergarten. Bria loved the place, and she ran around looking delighted. Good, she’s smiling. Amelie heaved a sigh of relief.

After Bria went to school the next day, Amelie got to work as well. Hours went by, and then it was noon. Feeling a little tired, Amelie stretched her arms. Most of her work was done online. Even if she had to call a conference, there was software for that.

But to make things easier for her both in life and work, she got herself a duplex. The first floor was for her personal life, while the second floor was made into her office. With her work done, she came downstairs and was greeted by the aroma of good food. Her father emerged from the kitchen, wearing an apron. And he was serving the dishes he cooked. “Smells nice.” Amelie trotted to the table and took a piece of meat with her hand.

“Wash your ha-” Before Steven could finish his sentence, Amelie had already gulped the meat down. So, he shook his head. “Amelie_*

Amelie smiled cheekily

Steven had spoiled her. He would never even raise her voice at Amelie. She was the most precious thing he had in his life, and the only remembrance he had of his wife.

For once in her life, Amelie was acting like a child around her father.
