When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 5

an indifferent Leo ordered with tightly furrowed brows. He wanted Amelie to return home on her own accord. He wanted her to know that she should live an honest life instead of resorting to dirty tactics! Time flew by. Thirty days passed in the blink of an eye. Tomorrow would be the day that she would have the divorce certificate, certifying that she was legally divorced from Leo. Amelie seemed calm, but it was probably because she had long accepted the fact that she was divorced. After coaxing Bria to sleep, she and Julia sat in the living room to have a chat and some wine. During this period of time, she had spent most of her time accompanying Bria in an attempt to make up for what was owed to Bria over the years. When she noticed the smile on Bria’s face growing wider day by day, she felt relieved and that it was a wise move to leave Leo. “Everyone is wondering why I’m back. The reason is actually simple.

On the contrary, he didn’t love Amelie, so he couldn’t be bothered to listen to her explanation for getting into his bed, which wasn’t to get married to him. “Even though you guys are divorced, we can’t let that b*stard couple lead a happy life!” Julia had a straightforward personality and was someone who would air her grievances clearly. Right now, she had her hands on her hips, looking intimidating. Amelie, on the other hand, was indifferent. “Whether they live happy lives has nothing to do with me. All that matters is whether I have a good life with Bria.” Yet, when she remembered that
