When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 303 Won’t Hide Anymore

I thought you'd help me, and now you're pushing me to him instead? I don't wish to know what his deal is, either.

Just when Amelie was about to say something, Leo started, "The suicide statement is a lie. She was murdered. We had to do it to avoid any unnecessary complications. Also, I didn't mean to protect her. I just had an important question to ask, and I would've sent her to jail after getting an answer from her."

She looked up. The doctor and Eugene were already gone, leaving only Leo and herself. He looked a lot gentler than he was before. No longer was Leo solemn. Instead, he had a smile on his lips.

I see. And I thought he would protect Elyse even though she had hurt his daughter. She did feel disappointed in him at one point.

"I was going to ask—"

He's talking a lot. "That's your problem, not mine."

Leo approached her, love welling in his eyes. "I said I would court you, and I wouldn't hide anything from you."

He's just so… Amelie was used to his more serious side, but now, he was showing his gentler side as that time he took her to Amaro. Her mind froze for a moment, and her heart thumped. She did love him deeply once, and he could easily tug on her heartstrings. However, that didn't matter to her. "Sorry, but I'm not interested in your gesture." Before he could say anything, she continued, "Oh, and you're just trying to woo me because you know I'm Big Eyes now." She pursed her lips. "You think your giving yourself to me means anything? No, just because you owe me one that doesn't mean you have to repay the favor. And I don't want it."

She didn't hold back with the harsh remarks, her gaze fixed on Leo, and a mocking smile curled her lips. "I used to be with you because I was bored and pitied you for being single. Just forget about the past and pretend it never happened."

After saying that, she left. She did love him, but she was not his servant. Just because he wanted to woo her didn't mean she had to give him a chance.
