When I Was A Wallflower

The phone call was from Leo. Why is he calling me at this time? Without thinking, Amelie hung up the phone, but he seemed to be persistent as he called her once again. So, she turned her phone to silent mode and held it in her palm without looking at it again.

After a while, she heard the sound of someone giggling beside her, followed by something tugging at her clothes.

As she turned around, she saw a chubby, soft, tiny hand on her clothes. The little hand was pulling her clothes back and forth, refusing to let go.

Following the little hand, she saw a little guy who was as soft and chubby as his hand.

The little guy was probably only a few months old. With one hand, he was pushing against the person who was holding him with all his might and was tugging at Amelie's clothes with the other. He was panting and grunting, looking as though he wanted to struggle out of the person's arms.

His little eyes were like black grapes, and he was darting around constantly while his little mouth kept spitting bubbles with saliva. He was so adorable and lively.

When he noticed that Amelie was looking at him, he grinned and giggled at her.

"This little guy. You already know how to flirt with girls when you're this young." The person holding the little guy was a young man. He sighed helplessly as he looked at his baby with an affectionate gaze. It was evident that he loved his son to the bone.

After nagging his son, he turned to look at Amelie and said politely, "Sorry about that. My son is quite outgoing."

Immediately, Amelie recognized that he was Jimmy, the brother-in-law of Toby. Jimmy and Leo were close business partners, and he used to occasionally visit the Alston Residence. When he married Toby's sister, Yasmine, Amelie was not allowed to participate in the wedding ceremony, but she had known the relationship between the two families through Jodie and Melissa.

"It's okay." When she heard his apology, she smiled and shook her head. Then, she touched the hand of the little guy who was tugging at her clothes. "He's quite cute."

"He he." The little guy seemed to understand her words as he smiled at her with his toothless mouth, drooling profusely.

He was dressed in a pumpkin-shaped outfit, like a cute little pumpkin. Jimmy, on the other hand, wore the costume of a certain anime character, which had a bit of a dark and cool vibe to it.
