When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129

Leo paused and looked up just as everyone else was attracted by the adorable voice they heard. Then, they began looking around and searching for the source of the voice, only to realize it came from a child Julia was carrying a few moments later.

With a fair face and a pair of big and beautiful eyes, the child appeared to be holding a microphone. At that moment, the first impression that came to everyone’s mind was how adorable the child was, but soon, they were immediately stunned by a thought that simultaneously flashed through their heads.

Did this little girl just say that? Is she going to challenge Jodie Alston? Where did a little girl like her get all the courage to challenge an adult? Have we been mistaken?

“I’ll sing!” The child in Julia’s arms repeated her words one more time just when everyone was guessing where the voice came from. While the girl opened her mouth and uttered her sentence word by word, the adults finally made sense of what was going on.

“Goodness, it was her who said that.”

“Whose kid is this? That’s some courage she has right there.”

“My kid is older than her, but he doesn’t dare to perform in front of a crowd.”

“Why aren’t my kids as talented as others…”

At the same time, Amelie finally noticed the child’s presence. Surprise was written all over her face as she asked, “Hello, Bria. What brings you here?” It turned out that the little girl Julia was carrying was none other than Amelie’s daughter, Bria.

With two ponytails hanging around her shoulders, Bria rested her head in Amelie’s arms when she heard her mother’s words. Despite her slight guilt, she went ahead and answered loudly. “Today is your big day, so I’ve come to show you my support, Mommy!” She raised her fists in the air adorably, melting Amelie’s heart.

In the end, she forgot about lecturing her daughter. At the same time, the mother and the daughter’s lovely interaction also gave the bystanders a hint about Bria’s identity. Thus, they were curious to learn more about

them.

Meanwhile, Jodie was caught off guard by Bria’s sudden presence, for she didn’t expect the little girl to challenge her in her mother’s place. What’s the meaning of this? Are they implying that I’m only fit to challenge a child?

The thought of that made her blood boil through every single vein in her body. She then glared at Amelie as a gesture to signal the latter to take Bria away. However, Amelie didn’t notice Jodie’s signal, but Julia noticed it instead. Thus, she curled her lips upward and carried Bria onto the stage. “You can do it, Bria!” Julia wanted to give the girl a high five.

In that instant, the cute girl’s response melted the hearts of everyone in the hall. “That girl. Doesn’t she belong to the Alston Family?”

“That lady on the stage is from the Alston Family. Her name is Jodie Alston.”

“Whoa, is this a family battle or something?”

“Mr. Alston divorced Amelie Dillon, so are they still a family?”

Soon, the place was filled with gossip and murmurs discussing the relationship between the Alston Family and Amelie. As they began to talk more and more about it, they grew more interested in Amelie’s story. After all, Amelie was challenged by her former sister-in-law just when her daughter showed up and accepted the challenge in her place. The show is getting better and better! Although all of the guests were from the upper class of society, they were no different from regular busybodies.

In the meantime, Jodie’s identity was revealed just as she found herself in a tight spot; much to her dismay. she had been challenged by a child. Standing on the stage in embarrassment, she didn’t even know what to do other than react with a pale face. “I’m sorry. I will not accept the child’s challenge,” she replied, gritting her teeth.

How dare you challenge me, you idiotic brat?! While cursing Bria on the inside. Jodie desperately swapped eye contact with the girl in hopes that she would get her message and leave.
