When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 19

Amelie looked at the sky, feeling ludicrous. “No need.” She refused immediately. Leo’s face turned ghastlier for a while. “It’s not easy to get a cab here. How can the child suffer the cold wind with you?” Since Amelie drove her car here, they did not have to suffer any cold wind. However, it would be unsafe to put the asleep Bria on the car seat. Thinking of this, she finally stopped and followed Leo to his car. She noticed the injury on Leo’s hand and stopped him when he was about to open the door of the car. “Why don’t I drive? You can hold Bria for me at the back.” “You can drive?” There was an obvious surprise on Leo’s face. She did not just “know” how to drive. After Amelie lived for four years in the Alston Family, Leo did not know that she could drive. That was enough to prove how much he ignored her. Amelie did not say much. She just hummed and took the key from him. Leo said nothing and got into the car. When Amelie handed the child to him, he was completely at a loss. “Just hold her head.” Amelie raised his arms a little higher and leaned the child’s small head on his chest. Leo dared not move. Looking down, he saw the child’s pink cheek leaning against his chest. Her fine hair was fluffy, and at that moment there was a hint of softness in his heart. Amelie did not say anything. She got in the car and started the car at once. Not wanting Leo to know where she lived, she drove the car to a convenient place to call a cab and stopped. “We’re here; thank you, Mr. Alston.” After she finished speaking, she took Bria from his arms and walked forward. “Amelie!” Leo stopped her. “I will make up for what I owe Bria, but my children will never need someone else as a father. This is my bottom line!” “I’m curious. How will you make up for Bria, Mr. Alston?” Amelie stopped and looked at him with a half- smile. “I will have someone revoke our divorce tomorrow. You will move back to the Alston Residence, and I will try my best to spend time with Bria.” “Revocation of the divorce?” Amelie was quite surprised to hear Leo say this. “Mr. Alston, does Miss Clayton agree with this decision?” “Why do you want her to agree?” Whenever Leo faced Amelie, his tone would become quite impatient. “You two are already engaged. This is the minimum level of respect for your new fiancée.” “Engaged?” Leo was obviously taken aback for a moment, but he did not bother to explain much. “Just do as I say, and don’t worry about anything else!” Amelie had long been used to Leo’s attitude. She was not angry but just tilted her

head and asked, “Let me ask you a question that I am more concerned about. Mr. Alston, are you revoking our divorce because you love me?” “All I want is to give my child a complete family!” Leo threw out a warning without even thinking about it. I knew it! Amelie laughed at him. “Mr. Alston, do you actually think that having both parents is the best way to make up to a child? You haven’t tasted what it’s like growing up in a single-parent family, so how do you know that kind of family is not good? I haven’t had a mother since I was a child. My father raised me alone, but I have never felt unhappy. He gave me all his love, and he only asked me for one thing—to be happy. However, our marriage lasted for four years. Bria is three years old this year. Ask her, was she happy during the three years? She had been afraid that you, your mother and your sister might be unhappy, and that if you guys were unhappy, you would give me trouble and I would be unhappy. In order not to make you guys unhappy, she tried her best to be well-behaved and sensible. She did not even care to dance anymore! Are you trying to drive her crazy by wanting her to live in such a depressing environment?” Speaking of this, Amelie could not help choking. “These can all be changed.” Leo did not think it was a big deal. “So what if they could be changed? It’s an indisputable fact that you don’t love me. What will Bria think when she grows up? She will feel that it is because of her existence that we have to be bound together. She will feel like a sinner!” Leo was speechless. Before Amelie said this, he thought this was the best way to make up for Bria. “Don’t worry, Mr. Alston, I will take good care of Bria.” Nodding at him, she left with her sore arms that were holding Bria. … Leo did not go home but went to Elyse’s residence. When Elyse saw him, her eyes sparkled, and she was excited. “Leo, you’re here! Come in.” Leo did not move and just handed the phone to her. “Delete these social media photos as soon as possible.” Elyse lowered her head and saw the social media post she had posted, suggesting she was about to get engaged. “I’m sorry, Leo! I just really miss the old days, and after finding the photos, I posted them as soon as possible because I got excited.” She quickly explained, not forgetting to glance at Leo’s expression. “Speaking of that, it’s all Amelie’s fault. If it weren’t for her being so wily that I was humiliated, we would not have separated—” “Don’t involve Amelie in the matter between you and me,” Leo reminded coldly. He did not want to hear that name again tonight. “Also, we ended our relationship four years ago and are just friends now.” After speaking, he turned and walked out.

gripped her fingers tightly, her pretty face twisted. All this time after she came back, she did not say a word about the relationship between the two of them but only quietly suggested things, purposefully waiting until everything came to fruition. Originally, she thought he had the same plan as her, but now, he clearly wanted to draw a clear line between the two of them. Is it because of Amelie? While she was in her thoughts, the phone rang suddenly. Elyse was upset but picked it up anyway. A slow voice came from the other end. “Do you know what interesting thing I heard just now? The high-ranking Young Master Leo has proposed to revoke the divorce with his ex-wife. Considering our past relationship, let me remind you not to lose your man again this time, yeah?”
