When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 224

Steven wasn’t around, and she was in charge of cooking. Phew. I’m glad I have this as an excuse, Amelie thought to herself.“Why don’t we invite him for dinner at home, then?” Bria suggested. Amelie was speechless after that. It seems like this young lady has forgotten whose side she’s on ever since Leo pampered her a little.

It’d be so sad if he didn’t get to have a meal with us.” She was a sneaky but smart little girl—she knew how to widen her eyes and purse her lips when she wanted something. She knew that others wouldn’t reject her when she looked both adorable and pitiful at the same time. Amelie parted her lips to speak, but she couldn’t bring herself to reject Bria. “I don’t mind skipping a meal if you don’t have enough food for three. I just want to spend time with Bria since she’s so fond of me.” Leo, who had been silent, finally spoke up for himself. Amelie was speechless—she had intended to use the lack of food as her next excuse, but his words left her stuck in a corner.“Fine.” She had no choice but to nod in agreement. “However, I’m not good at cooking, so I’m not sure if you’ll appreciate the food I make.” Her words were directed toward Leo. She was referring to how he had always rejected her food when she prepared meals
