When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 201

Their gazes met, and Leo’s expression was in its weirdest state as it froze on his face.

Likewise, Amelie was stunned for a moment.

She never expected Leo to come upstairs, much less think that he would be smiling at her.

But then, she quickly remembered a news article she saw a while back.

In the article, Elyse mentioned that their wedding date was near; he was probably happy because Elyse finally agreed to marry him.

In the end, everyone loved the story where Elyse only agreed to an engagement despite a marriage proposal on the top floor.

When Amelie thought about that, the surprise in her eyes faded as she asked politely, “Is something the matter, Mr. Alston?”

Amelie had been smiling happily when she faced the screen and all those strangers. But now that she was facing him, she had a cold expression.

The stark contrast made Leo feel extremely uneasy, but he couldn’t say anything about it. He simply told Amelie about Bria’s request.

Amelie grunted in response, took the huge doll, and passed it to him. She couldn’t help but think that Leo must love Elyse very much, for he could get lost in thought while thinking about his marriage during short moments like fetching stuff.

She still bore a grudge since Elyse had been targeting her and almost killed Bria because of Leo. Now that they were getting married, Amelie felt that it was all the more reason for her to avoid him.

As such, she said, “Mr. Alston, if you don’t have any other business in the future, you’d better not come here anymore.”

Leo was already brooding, so when he heard her sudden words, his facial features became even more twisted as he looked at her. “What do you mean?”

Amelie couldn’t understand his anger, so she explained kindly, “You’re going to marry Miss Clayton soon, so it won’t be appropriate for you to keep coming. If you want to see Bria, you can always give me a call, and I’ll arrange for you to meet her outside.”

“Marry?” Leo was bewildered for a moment.

It hadn’t even crossed his mind that he would be marrying Elyse.

“Just because of that?” At that thought, he noticed that his mood was unspeakably brightening up.

Amelie nodded matter-of-factly. “Of course.”

Since Elyse could do something so vicious simply because she hated Amelie, Elyse might go berserk if Amelie continued getting involved with Leo.

Even though Amelie cared about Bria’s feelings, she didn’t want to court death if she could help it.

After saying everything she was supposed to, Amelie ended the conversation and noticed his silence, assuming that he had acknowledged her intentions.

…

At night, Leo went to Prix Bar.

“Long time no see. I thought you’d never come back.” When Toby saw him, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Toby noticed a slight curve in Leo’s lips, and he was a little stunned as he said, “Are you in a good mood?”

His phone was propped up in front of him, and a video was playing.

Leo didn’t respond as he lowered himself into a seat.

His gaze fell upon Toby’s phone screen, and he immediately spotted the people on the screen.

It was Amelie in her fox mask, and next to her was Bria; she was wearing her fox mask as well.

In the comments, the fans were all encouraging Bria because they heard that Bria was recently injured.

Bria’s exposed eyes were glittering like stars in the sky. Her tiny mouth opened to reveal a set of pretty teeth as she cutely thanked everyone.

Her sweet, crisp voice and positive attitude made the fans adore her even more, and they wished they could just take her home to raise as their own.

Leo watched Bria for a moment, but he couldn’t help focusing his attention on the woman next to her.

Amelie had just streamed earlier in the day, but now, she remained spirited as she thanked everyone for their concern. She also gave them an update on Bria’s recovery.

Similarly, her eyes were shining as if there were stars in them.

Leo had the urge to reach out and put the stars in his pocket—he didn’t know why, though.

In the past, even just a glance at Amelie would fill him with annoyance and disgust.

But now, even though he had just met her earlier in the day, he still found it refreshing to see her through the screen.

He wanted to see her more often.

Even Leo himself wasn’t quite sure when this change started.

Toby quietly observed Leo’s expressions, his gaze darkening as he said, “I heard you’re getting married. Congratulations.”

Because of those words, the gentle light in Leo’s eyes slowly turned cold before it disappeared without a trace. “You’ve been mistaken,” he said calmly. He didn’t have to explain too much, for everything was apparent.

“If Elyse hears that, she’ll be so sad.”

Leo didn’t respond.
