When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 153

Leo’s expression turned solemn as he silently clenched his fist. At the same time, he thought, Could it be that the donor Zachary is about to meet is really Amelie? He narrowed his eyes and locked his eyes on the car.

In the meantime, the car stopped across the road, and someone opened the door. It was indeed Amelie. Her long hair shone in the morning light, and she moved with light and graceful steps.

Leo watched her walking toward him as if she was in slow motion. His chest tightened even more as she moved closer and closer to him. Somehow, he could even feel that his breath was getting heavier.

Toby could sense something was wrong with Leo, and he expressed his worries because he had never seen Leo acting in such a way before. “Leony…”

However, Leo could not hear Toby calling him as he quickened his pace and walked downstairs in fast and hasty steps. Toby followed him even though he did not know what got into Leo’s head, and it was not until he saw Amelie walking toward the sidewalk from the opposite side that he realized what was actually going on.

“Why is Miss Dillon here?”

Leo did not answer. Instead, he stopped five meters away from Zachary, His eyes were still locked on Amelic, and at that point, he was almost sure that she had come for Zachary!

Toby looked at her and took a deep breath. “So, she lied to me last time.” Leo finally reacted to his words and glanced at him. However, he did not say anything further before turning and staring at Amelie again.

Just when she was about to reach where Zachary was standing, she abruptly stopped in her tracks. Someone probably called her because she could be seen lowering her head, taking out her phone, and answering it. Seconds later, she turned and ran back to the car. In the blink of an eye, the car had already driven away.

Zachary had his back facing Amelie, so naturally, he did not see her coming and leaving. He continued to wait for her even after she left. Toby looked at the car, and only then did he realize that he felt somewhat constricted; he could not breathe normally until she had left the place. At some point, his face was beaded with sweat. Then, he turned to look at Leo and found that he was still standing there like a statue, fixing his sight in the direction where Amelie had departed.
