When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133

The signature put-together short hair and classic-looking face came into sight-it was none other than Toby Walsh.

Leo stiffened, and his eyes turned profound while the surrounding temperature dropped when he saw Toby, who also saw the pair before approaching them with a plain smile. “What? Have you guys been enchanted by the mother and daughter’s performance too?”

“No, we were just passing by.” Elyse fixed her image with breakneck speed and returned to her typical fair maiden look, smiling ambiguously at Toby while hinting, “I guess you weren’t lying about what you said, Mr. Walsh. You do have feelings for Miss Dillon.”

Toby smiled in response, and the smile pierced Leo’s heart, suffocating him as he reminded icily, “Have you forgotten that she’s now the first lady of Starlight Media?”

Nevertheless, Toby remained silent and only shifted his gaze to Leo as his smile deepened.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go,” Elyse interjected and hooked her arm around Leo’s.

To that, Leo said nothing but only turned to his vehicle.

“Do you not regret it, Leo?” Toby’s voice came from behind, causing him to stop in his tracks.

He stood with his head drooped and hands balled into fists on his sides. It was only a loose grip, but it made him look inexplicably lonely.

Elyse’s heart skipped a beat, and she bit the corner of her lip when she saw him like this. Just as she was about to say something, he began walking ahead.

After dropping Elyse off, Leo returned to the Alston Residence.

However, he stopped at the gates, leaving the vehicle stalling for a long time.

The dim, cold lighting cast on his obscure countenance made him look aloof and lonely.

It wasn’t after a long while that he finally pulled his phone out and made a call. “How much do you know about Amelie?”

“Not much, just that she only began living like a normal, vivid human being after leaving your house,” Toby said plainly.

His words were practically a slap on Leo’s face.

If it were any other time, Leo would’ve just snorted disdainfully and sniffed about how the life Amelie lived in

Toby remained quiet about the fact that Amelie was Foxy and only said, “Leo, has it ever occurred to you that the Amelie we’re seeing now is her original self?”

“Are you accusing me of breaking her wings and turning her from a glamorous woman into the Alston Family’s anonymous and invisible Mrs. Alston?” Leo caught the underlying message right away.

“I’m just letting you know that she used to love you deeply. Since you never reciprocated her feelings back then, there’s no reason for you to appear in her world now,” Toby reasoned.

Leo had wanted to retort that he didn’t care about entering her world at all. However, his chest suddenly felt inexplicably stuffy, and he had trouble uttering even a single word.

In the end, be just hung up in low spirits.

After Amelie and Julia exited the car, the latter took Bria from Amelie without a word and quirked her chin. “This one’s mine. Go and park the car.”

Amelie was rendered speechless. Did you just steal my daughter?

At that, she shook her head resignedly and watched the two leave before getting into the car to park it in the garage.

However, she had just pulled the door open when another hand pushed it, slamming the door shut.
