When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 9

she was able to perform some spins around the rink under Blake’s lead in no time. Soon, Amelie chased after them with graceful glides and took Bria’s other hand. Just like that, the three skated together in the rink. A trio containing two adults and a little girl made their appearance on the skating rink. The adults looked like a match made in heaven, and the little girl was adorable, so they immediately garnered a lot of attention and praise from the audience. At some point, melodious music sounded over the rink. Amelie spun as she instinctively pushed Bria, whereas Blake firmly caught her. She found the routine fun and giggled happily as she demanded more. Then, Amelie lifted her up. Blake, on the other hand, skated behind her. He firmly grabbed her waist, balancing her as he led her to do another spin. Since Blake’s figure skating skills were superb, Amelie was not at all worried that she and Bria would fall.

Like Elyse, he, too, thought the scene was beautiful. Just then, the music ended. Amelie took off her helmet and flicked her long hair coolly. “That was awesome! Leo’s face showed obvious signs of surprise the moment he recognized Amelie. I never knew that Amelie could skate—not to mention being able to skate so gracefully. But, in my impression, apart from having a dishonest nature, she’s a dull and boring person. In the meantime, Bria took off her helmet too. “Mommy! It’s so fun!” As she was totally captivated by Blake’s charm and oblivious to Leo’s arrival. She took Blake’s hand and refused to let go. “Mr. Celeste, can I not address you as Mr. Blake? How about you be my father instead?” Bria heard from Julia that after Amelie and Leo divorced, Amelie would find a better man to be her father. Since she really liked Blake so much, she thought it would certainly be great if Blake could be her father. Alas,
