When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 319 Innocent Taste of Youth

Amelie was posing and highlighting her figure under Bria's guidance, but all of a sudden, something tightened around her waist as her body collided with someone's broad chest.

Her nose caught a whiff of the unique scent of a man, but before she could react, the man's voice sounded. "Please help us take a photo."

She turned to see Leo handing his phone to a man who was equipped with a digital camera. The man looked at the three in surprise, then immediately nodded. "Of course, of course."

Amelie was speechless.

"Can the mom please carry the girl? Then the dad can hold both the mom and the girl in his arms." The man was obviously a professional as he quickly gave them instructions.

Bria proactively settled into Amelie's embrace as Leo reached out and draped his arms around the two.

Warmth invaded Amelie's back as Leo leaned against her.

The man had long enough arms that he could easily embrace the two.

"Good. The dad has an especially pleasant expression. The mom should smile wider."

Leo was presenting his most honest self as he gazed gently at the people in his arms, his usually stern face colored with rare tenderness.

When the man saw Leo's expression, he couldn't praise the latter enough. Amelie forcefully raised the corners of her mouth.

"Can the mom smile a bit brighter?"

Even though Amelie was quite beautiful and her smile was already nice enough, the photographer still wanted a more astounding expression.

Bria hastily reached out her little fingers and pushed up the corners of Amelie's mouth. The photographer took a few shots. Leo's phone had exceptional specs, so its camera was on par with professional cameras. The photographer was amazed.

Amelie finally let out a sigh of relief. She was about to push Leo away when she heard the photographer say, "Let's take a few more shots. The mom and the dad will hold the girl in turn—"

Despite Amelie's strong reluctance, Bria was extremely excited about it, and Leo didn't look like he wanted to stop.
