When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 213

Amelie thought he would do something, but instead, he went past her and left. Huh. For some reason, he’s been acting weird since last night?

“Can we leave now?”

Amelie looked at the girl in a white dress, and she realized why he was in a hurry to leave. Oh, he’s trying not to make that girl suspect anything. The girl met Amelie’s gaze, and then she smiled. Then she left with Leo by her side.

Vaguely, Amelie heard her say, “Your mother is quite the welcoming host. I do hope we get to see each other more.”

So that’s the new girl Melissa got for him? I can see she’s from a good family, what with her wearing expensive clothes. Guess Melissa got what she wanted. But what about Leo? Why did he dump Elyse all of a sudden? I thought he listened to her. Thought he was nice to her. Nice enough to be the Leo I didn’t know.

Amelie entered the garage and met Leo again. He was leaning on his black Cayenne, looking like someone from a beautiful poster of a movie. In case he got angry again, Amelie nodded at him politely and moved to her car.

But just before she could enter the car, Leo asked coolly, “You just told everyone we’re a couple. If we go our own ways now, someone might notice it and take a picture. You’d have a lot to explain about then.”

Oh, right. Blake’s fans are crazy. They might be hiding somewhere. Gotta be careful. She heaved a sigh and turned to Leo’s car instead. “Guess I’ll need your help then, Mr. Alston.”

Alston entered his car and slammed the door shut, saying nothing.

Amelie would rather not talk to someone who would only give her the cold shoulder, but she had no choice. In the end, she got into the backseat, but the girl from earlier was nowhere to be found. Off to buy something, perhaps? Amelie thought. Since Leo wasn’t driving, she thought she had a correct guess.

But then Leo coolly said, “I don’t like the feeling of being a driver.”

Amelie looked around. Wait. He wants me in the passenger seat? But what about his new girl? Will she be mad? “That’s… not the best idea,” said Amelie.

“You can get out of the car otherwise,” said Leo.

Never knew he could be this tart. She couldn’t leave alone, lest Blake’s fans came after her. Left with no choice, she took the passenger seat. Not like the girl can get angry at me. The moment she sat down, Leo drove away like a stampeding stallion. “Um…”

Leo didn’t ask where she was going. He was driving in Halport’s direction.

Amelie looked around in silence for a while, then she said, “You don’t have to take me all the way home. Just let me alight somewhere quiet.”

“I want to see Bria,” said Alston coolly. Amelie thought the air around him felt colder than usual.

She kept her mouth shut, or he might lash out at her again. Oh, there’s a bag here. Hm, that’s the bag that girl was holding. Curious, she sneaked a peek at the content and saw a few beautiful bottles in it. On a closer look, she realized those bottles were salves for wounds and scars. Oh, so she was trying to appease him? How nice. I guess they’ve been dating for a while, then.

She looked at Leo and was reminded of the scars she saw on his face. She didn’t look at him earlier just in case anyone saw them and tried to make a scandal out of it. But now she noticed that his face was still hurt, though the wounds were not as scary as the night before. Even with scars on his face, Leo still looked handsome. Not only did the scars fail to mar his looks, but they also made him look rugged and handsome. This is so unfair.

She moved her gaze away, sleepiness grasping her. She hadn’t slept well the night before, and the fans scaring her earlier took a toll on her mind. Even though Amelie tried her best to resist it, eventually she succumbed to sleep.
