When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 205

Amelie couldn’t help but stop and stare for a moment. She froze when she saw the person who was grabbing her wrist.

“Are you okay, Mommy?” Bria, who was in Leo’s arms, tugged on Amelie’s sleeve while questioning Amelie in a worried tone. Amelie snapped back into reality before she gazed awkwardly at Leo’s hand that was wrapped around her wrist. His fingers were slender, and he had a large palm, so his grip felt especially firm and solid.

“I’m fine.” In a panic, Amelie shook her head before she pulled her hand away. “Thanks.” She pretended to fix her hair as she tried to conceal the embarrassment that she felt. She rarely had any physical encounters with males in the past.

Leo lowered his gaze to look at the lost and bashful woman before his eyes. She seemed especially petite and dainty as she hung her head low and looked around frantically. She looked extremely nervous. Leo knitted his brows together as he curled his hand into a fist. The sensation of the woman’s skin against his lingered for a while after that. She has such a slim wrist. Doesn’t she eat at all? Why is her wrist so small? I felt like I was grabbing bones when I held her earlier.

“What’s this, Mommy?” Bria’s sharp eyes landed on the bag that was in Amelie’s hands. Amelie emptied the bag to reveal three hats of the same color. Earlier, the teacher informed Amelie to go over and collect the hats. That was why she took a long time to head to the washroom.

“Is this for us?” Bria’s eyes widened with excitement. There were three caps—one for each of them! Bria was amazed as this was the first time that she owned a cap that had the exact same pattern as both her parents. “Hurry up and put it on for me, Mommy!” Bria urged.

Amelie beamed when she saw how excited Bria was. Amelie’s soft and silky hair fell loosely on her shoulders, and a few strands of her hair covered her face. Her skin seemed especially fair when placed in contrast with her dark hair. The smile on her face seemed to blossom like a flower in spring, and Leo was attracted by how fresh and gorgeous she looked. He couldn’t help but stare at her as she smiled and placed the yellow cap on Bria’s head.

Bria grinned, revealing her pearly whites. “Daddy needs one too!” The young girl was overjoyed. Amelie handed a cap to Leo, but Leo didn’t respond as he was still mesmerized by the sight of the woman. Bria quickly held her hand up. “I have an idea! Mommy can put the cap on for Daddy, and Daddy can put it on for Mommy!”

Only then did Leo return to his senses. He stared at Amelie for a while, but he didn’t take the cap from her. Instead, he seemed to be going along with Bria’s words and wanted Amelie to put the cap on for him. He even lowered his head a little before leaning closer to Amelie. Amelie was speechless for a moment. In the end, she had no choice but to put it on for him.

Even though Leo had already lowered his head, she was still much shorter in comparison to the six-foot-one man as she was only five-foot-five in height. Amelie had to get on her tiptoes and stretch just to put the cap on him. Right then, she lost her balance and fell forward. She ended up falling into his arms.

Leo was holding Bria in one arm, and he was worried that Amelie would bump into Bria, so he reached his hand out to steady her. As he did so, his hand brushed past her chest area, and he could feel her soft breasts against his fingers. He ended up holding onto her arm, which felt nearly as slim as her wrist.

Leo’s gaze darkened when he next looked at the woman. On the other hand, Amelie was furious at herself for her clumsiness. She bit her lower lip as she cursed at herself. What’s wrong with me? I’m usually calm and grounded.
