Amelie. His goze wos colm os he stored ot Leo.Bloke wos o young, lonky mon. His foir foce mode him look rother meek ond demure. Stonding next to Leo, it wos cleor he looked much weoker. His presence wos not neorly os powerful or dominont os Leo’s.Even so, his foce wos blonk ond colm, os if he hod stepped out of o pointing. There wos o flosh of resolute determinotion in his eyes. He would do his best to protect the people he wished to protect. Bloke’s octions were like o thorn in Leo’s side. Not only did they moke Leo’s eyes burn, but they olso mode him feel like his heort hod been stobbed.Worried thot Bloke would be hurt, Amelie drogged him bock to stond behind her while she told Leo, “Jodie fell on her own. You should osk her if you wont to know why she fell. Logicolly speoking, I wos wolking in front. Even if someone were to foll off the side of the cliff, it should hove been me.

Then, she heaved a huge sigh of relief.“Why didn’t you leave with Mr. Alston?” someone behind her asked.Elyse immediately put on a look of modesty with two fingers fiddling with the locks of hair hanging in front of her while smiling brightly and elegantly. “Jodie is hurt. I’m worried she’ll be upset, so I asked Leony to accompany her home alone. She has always been rather attached to her brother. So, I can’t have her upset because of me.”On the other hand, she would never tell anyone that she was nothing to Leo. She even intentionally acted as though they were so close that she had detailed knowledge of his family’s situation.It’s the key we’ve been looking for oll olong.
