When I Was A Wallflower

“Is it because you have another man in your heart?” he whispered into her ear in his low, sultry tone.

What did he say?

She was stunned because of his words, so she turned to look at him. His eyes were closed, his lips were practically attached to her ears, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Is he frowning? For me? How’s that possible? Back then, he would even dream that I would leave his life.

Suddenly, her anxiety went away; what replaced it was infinite irony instead. Although she knew he was drunk, she still smirked and shoved him aside.

Sitting up, she quickly adjusted her clothes and shot him a cold gaze. “Leo, I’ve already given you what was obligated of me. So, don’t interfere in my life anymore.”

Even if she did not have another man in her life, Amelie would never again permit Leo to stick his nose in her business. Since we’re already divorced, let’s just go our separate ways.

Ignoring him completely, she walked straight out of the private room. After the door closed, the seemingly drunk man suddenly opened his eyes. As his somber gaze landed on the door, his stern countenance expressed no emotions whatsoever.

He sat up, and there was no hint of drunkenness to be seen from his eyes while he turned the bezel of his watch, his black shirt showing off his alluring figure. Smiling subtly, he thought, Given me what was obligated of her? What does that mean?

His gaze further darkened. Is her so-called obligation our four-year wedding? That was a setup, so why would she say that?

With his hands on his knees, he propped himself up before he placed his fingers on the door handle and pulled it. He walked quickly, wanting to chase after Amelie, and asked her what she meant.

“Leony!” Just as he stepped out of the room, a sweet voice called out to him.
