When I Was A Wallflower

Work ended a little late, and it was already 8.00PM by the time Amelie returned to Halport. Steven said that he had something urgent to attend to, so he was going back to Quinn Town. The old lady next door was taking care of Bria for the time being, so Amelie had to go home in time to fetch Bria.

After that, Steven reminded her about getting groceries because he didn't want Amelie and Bria to starve.

As Amelie listened to her father's loving voice, she allowed a faint smile on her lips. She was both exasperated and touched. Most parents loved and cared for their children even though they were grown-ups.

Amelie obediently said yes to all of Steven's nagging. Steven talked for a while, then finally hung up.

Amelie touched her ear, which was heated by the phone. As she ended the call, she felt around for her keys. She had just touched the keys when she froze in front of the entrance.

A man was standing under the warm yellow glow of the streetlights in front of the entrance of her apartment. He had a tall build and long legs, and his body proportions followed the perfect standard for models.

Even in the dim light, the stern aura emanating from his body was unmistakable.

Leo kept facing the door, but it seemed like he had eyes on the back of his head, for he turned around as soon as Amelie stopped walking.

He pursed his lips as he simply stared at her with his deep gaze. His eyes were alluringly deep, like an endless ocean.

Amelie was stunned for a moment before asking, "Mr. Alston? Why are you here?"

Leo didn't reply as he shifted his position. He then began striding toward her.

He constantly kept his eyes on her, and with every approaching step, the alluring sensation thickened.

Amelie subconsciously took a step back. A wary and nervous look appeared in her pretty eyes.

He took note of her minuscule shifts in expression, his gaze gradually darkening as he stopped a few inches before her. "Miss Foxy doubted my capabilities in public. I feel that it is necessary for me to come in person so that you can verify it yourself."

Amelie was speechless.

So, he watches the live stream too?

This was something she had never expected before. In her memories, Leo was a workaholic, and his mind was filled with nothing but work.
