When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 213

Amelie thought. Since Leo wasn’t driving, she thought she had a correct guess.But then Leo coolly said, “I don’t like the feeling of being a driver.”Amelie looked around. Wait. He wants me in the passenger seat? But what about his new girl? Will she be mad? “That’s… not the best idea,” said Amelie.“You can get out of the car otherwise,” said Leo.Never knew he could be this tart. She couldn’t leave alone, lest Blake’s fans came after her. Left with no choice, she took the passenger seat. Not like the girl can get angry at me. The moment she sat down, Leo drove away like a stampeding stallion. “Um…”Leo didn’t ask where she was going. He was driving in Halport’s direction.Amelie looked around in silence for a while, then she said, “You don’t have to take me all the way home. Just let me alight somewhere quiet.”“I want to see Bria,” said Alston coolly. Amelie thought the air around him felt colder than usual.She kept her mouth shut, or he might lash out at her again. Oh, there’s a bag here. Hm, that’s the bag that girl was holding. Curious, she sneaked a peek at the content and saw a few beautiful bottles in it. On a closer look, she realized those bottles were salves for wounds and scars. Oh, so she was trying to appease him? How nice. I guess they’ve been dating for a while, then. She looked at Leo and was reminded of the scars she saw on his face. She didn’t look at him earlier just in case anyone saw them and tried to make a scandal out of it. But now she noticed that his face was still hurt, though the wounds were not as scary as the night before. Even with scars on his face, Leo still looked handsome. Not only did the scars fail to mar his looks, but they also made him look rugged and handsome. This is so unfair.She moved her gaze away, sleepiness grasping her. She hadn’t slept well the night before, and the fans scaring her earlier took a toll on her mind. Even though Amelie tried her best to resist it, eventually she succumbed to sleep.Finally, Leo looked at her in silence, his eyes glinting.When she woke up, the car had already come to a stop, and standing outside was Brianna’s kindergarten. Amelie sat up and noticed a piece of clothing sliding away. She stared down and, to her surprise, found that it was a men’s suit. This has been covering me? There are only the two of us here, so…She looked at Leo. As expected, his suit was gone, revealing the shirt underneath. It clung to his skin tightly, showing off his beautiful lines. Quickly, Amelie snapped out of it and handed the suit back. “Thanks.”But Leo didn’t take it. He looked at her with an even darker gaze than before.Um…Just when she thought he would stay silent, he blurted, “Who is Blake to you?”Amelie froze. She wondered why he asked that. “He’s like a brother to me. Is anything the matter?” she answered honestly, looking at him.Leo met her gaze as well.“Brother?” he repeated.He said nothing more, but Amelie knew he didn’t agree with her statement. He’s mocking me? Annoyed by his attitude, Amelie sneered. “The relationship I share with him has nothing to do with you, Mr. Alston.”Leo kept quiet.Refusing to talk to him anymore, Amelie left the car.Leo was alone. No matter how many deep breaths he took, he couldn’t hold back the sense of frustration welling within him. She risked herself to protect Toby and Blake, but she wouldn’t even give me a moment of her time?Amelie and Brianna eventually came out, chatting happily. Noticing Leo’s car, Brianna pointed at it. “Is that Daddy’s car, Mommy?”Amelie looked in the direction she was pointing, but all she saw was Leo’s car driving into the distance. I thought he was here to see Bria. Why did he leave? Amelie was confused, but she quickly shook her head. “No, that’s not his car.”
