When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266

"What is it?" Julia was mumbling. Perhaps, she was brushing her teeth or eating something.

Amelie blinked. "Help me tell tire director of'Show Your Love' that I wish to quit the show."

"Quit the show?" It took a while for Julia to respond.

Nearly a minute later, she asked. "Didn't filming go well? Why do you suddenly want to quit? Is it because of Jodie? If it's because of her, I'll convince the director to kick her out."

"It has nothing to do with her." Jodie was so insignificant that she was not worth thinking about.

"I just don't want any misunderstandings to occur."

"You mean with Blakey?" Julia immediately understood what she meant.

"Yes."

"Isn't it good to date him? I think it's a good idea." Julia had always liked Blake, so she could not resist defending him. "He's hardworking and very sincere when it comes to his loved ones. He's an orphan, so he knows to cherish the people around him. Trust me, Elie. You will have a good life with him."

Amelie's greatest headache was Julia's tendency to constantly convince her Blake was a good man.

"He is a perfect man, but that is exactly why I don't want to ruin him."

She certainly thought the sight of her- name next to his was a stain on his reputation.

"I don't want him to misunderstand anything."

Julia heaved a sigh. "The truth is, you just don't want to date him."

All this talk about misunderstandings and stains was still not as strong of an argument as "she did not like him".

"I do like him, but only as a little brother." That was what she felt since the very first moment they met.

Julia sighed again. "What a pity. It is unrequited love. You think of him as a little brother, but he likely thinks of you as the woman he loves. I didn't think so before, but ever since I watched the episode with tire two of you, I do not doubt it at all. Elie, are you trying to carve out his heart? He will be upset."

"I don't want to carve out Iris heart. I merely want him to turn his love to tire right person."

She did not want to hurt him any further, so quitting the show was the best hint she could give.

It would not hurt his ego, and it was a clear declaration of her stance.

Julia knew she was the kind of person who could never be convinced otherwise after she had settled on a decision. "All right," she said with a sigh. "I'll do my best to help you convey the message."

Peace returned in tire following days.

During the day, Amelie focused on the reading course while she streamed at night.

Her reading course was getting more and more popular by the day because the books she chose and the curriculum she designed were the best while the course was so affordable that anyone coxrld afford it. More and more people started visiting her site and her user retention rate was also rather high.

She added a few more specialty columns to the site and even uploaded videos of calligraphy tutorials that could only be explained through videos on the website.

On the weekends, she would spend her time with Bria and Steven.

Sometimes, the three of them went for a picnic and enjoyed the scenery; sometimes, they stayed at home and enjoyed a family dinner.

Their days were so peace&l.

One day, Julia suddenly called her. "Elie, do you know who is asking about you?"

"Who?" Amelie casually asked back. Her gaze was focused on the report in front of her.

"Melissa Richards!" Julia coldly chuckled. "I don't know what's wrong with that woman, but she's asking everyone about where Foxy lives. She wants to know where she could find you."

"What does she want with me?" Amelie was startled. Her gaze may still be trained on the report, but her mind was elsewhere.

From what she knew, Melissa wasn't aware that she used to be her ex-daughter-in-law.

"Who knows?" Julia was puzzled as well. "Did Jodie badmouth you after- heading home? Perhaps she's after you to get revenge."

That might be possible.

Amelie knew that Melissa did not really love Jodie that much, but any torment Jodie suffered would be a slap to tire face. Melissa would surely scheme and seek revenge.

"That means I have to hide from her," she said, but there was no sign of fear on her face.
