When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 258

She knew martial arts and could easily defeat the typical bad guys and small animals. So, having him around wouldn’t do her much good if a ferocious and dangerous animal came.A cold and sarcastic “Hmph!” sounded beside her as soon as she finished speaking.“You’re so concerned about him.”I assumed Blake has feelings for her, but it appears she is providing him with more care. Suddenly, a sour feeling rose in Leo’s stomach, and he clenched his fists silently at his side.These words made Amelie very uncomfortable, so she turned to look at him. His face, already solemn, was now dark and icy, and he lifted the corner of his lips in a mocking arc. The mockery was extremely obvious, as if she had done something shameful.“Is there a problem?” She didn’t like his insinuating tone and decided not to explain.

His clean, youthful face was tinged with a hint of disappointment. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”“Whether it’s one person or two, it’s still the same patrol. Since nothing happened outside, I went alone.” She knew he had self-esteem, so she didn’t mention his condition and spoke indifferently. After all, the reason he intended to give up ice skating was because of the injuries he had.“It’s not the same,” he muttered. I should be the one patrolling alone, not you.“You can’t go alone next time,” Blake said softly. He was always gentle with Amelie, even though he felt unhappy. Then, his bangs fell over his eyes, making him look like a handsome young nobleman, but there was a sense of loneliness and distress in his eyes. I can’t figure out how to get her to
