When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 224

would act in ways that were out of their norm. This is the second time he’s getting married. Why is he still so nervous?“But I’ve already prepared food at home.” Regardless of what Leo’s issue was, she had no interest in sharing another meal with him. She had to take up a lot more chores since 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. The little girl was worried that her mother would reject her suggestion again, so she tugged Amelie’s sleeve. “Please say yes, Mommy. Daddy traveled all the way here, and he must be hungry. 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.

He simply walked over to Bria’s other side before reaching for the girl’s unoccupied hand. “Let’s go.” Amelie blushed as she watched the both of them. Leo was holding onto Bria’s left hand while she was holding onto Bria’s right. They looked like a perfect little family. Isn’t Leo worried that this might look bad for him? she thought.“Let’s go, Mommy.” Bria swung her arm to urge her mother to hurry. Both Bria and Leo were already walking ahead of Amelie. However, when Amelie looked at the back of Leo’s head, she realized he didn’t seem to see any issue with the way they were holding Bria’s hands. He seemed comfortable with the arrangement. Ultimately, she gave in to Bria’s urges and hurried after her daughter and the man.She made sure to walk slightly behind the father-daughter pair, and she kept a larger distance between herself and Bria so that she
