When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 3

Leo. I’m sure you have forgotten what she looks like. If that’s the case, why not dump her? It’s not worth wasting your time on garbage like her.” “I’m sure that only those hideous and poor men would want her after she had divorced you. After all, she is a perfect match for them!” Soon, the room was filled with laughter and snickers. Outside the room, Julia was furious. Initially, they were just passing by when they heard Leo’s friends’ conversation. When Julia heard it, she clenched her fists and was going to burst into the room when Amelie dragged her out. When they were outside, Julia roared angrily, “Why did you stop me?! I can’t overlook this when those arrogant b*stards treated you like this!” As the person in the eye of the storm, Amelie was calm. She patted Julia on the shoulder and explained, “Let them say whatever they want. I’m already divorced.” Before she was divorced, she had always tried to explain herself. She wanted to change Leo and his friends’ perspectives about her but to no avail. At that moment, she did it because she wished to have a harmonious family. Since she didn’t need such a thing anymore, she didn’t care what others had to say about her. However, Julia was still mad. “I can’t believe it. You have been with him for so many years, and not only was he doubtful of you, he didn’t even want to remember your face! Moreover, he even feels that you would be a great match to some hideous poor man. Trust me. I will show them how outstanding you are and who will be your perfect match!” When Amelie heard her words, she thought Julia was just venting and didn’t keep it in mind. After comforting her, Amelie left. The next day, she remembered that she had left something important at the Alston Residence and went to retrieve it.

When she hung up the call, a car drove in and stopped in front of her, after which Leo appeared, still wearing his signature disinterested expression. When he saw her, he looked at her in annoyance. As expected. After seeing that I ignored her when she had thrown a tantrum for the whole night, she returned. Thinking about it, Leo ordered her rudely. “If you’re done messing around, get back inside!” Hearing his words, Amelie was startled, but then she realized that he must have assumed she was still in love with him. With that, she smiled faintly and reminded him, saying, “I’m afraid you must have lost your memory, Mr. Alston. We got a divorce yesterday.” When Leo heard her words, he frowned, snapping, “Enough is enough. I was just being nice, and if you keep insisting, you will humiliate yourself!” Being nice? Does he think that by talking rudely, he is nice to me? Amelie thought. Just as she was about to speak up, she heard popping sounds and looked over where the sound was. Then, she saw a giant banner with the words ‘ Congratulations on escaping your misery, Amelie! You have gotten divorce successfully’ on it. Other than the huge banner, there were also some small signs with ‘Happy divorce, Amelie!’ written on them. When Amelie saw it, she was speechless. Her mouth was agape since she was dumbfounded by the sudden outcome. Before she could react, a bouquet of roses appeared in front of her, and a voice sounded, saying, “Will you
