When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 335 Till Death Do Us Part

"You came just for him?" Leo's voice was as cold as ice. Amelie had grown accustomed to the coldness after four years of facing it almost every day in Alston Residence, so she simply lifted her chin nonchalantly and said, "Yes."

What? She agreed so readily! Leo felt as though a knife had been plunged into him, slicing away the joy and excitement he had just felt. All that remained was an overwhelming sense of suffocation, like a chest full of hard, cold stones that made it difficult for him to breathe.

Amelie naturally did not miss his subtle change. After years of being around him, she could still tell when Leo was angry. In the past, she would have been nervous and at a loss, racking her brain to find a way to calm him down. But now, she had no such intentions. She silently sipped her coffee, waiting for Leo to explode.

"Since you're here, let's eat together." She waited for what felt like forever, but all she got was this statement. Leo pushed back his chair, walked over to the coat rack, and took off his coat, draping it over his arm.

Amelie was speechless.

She looked at Leo in surprise. He didn't get angry, but instead wants to eat with me? She had thought he would leave silently like he used to. Leo lowered his eyes and looked at Amelie. There was a hint of helplessness in his gaze. "If there's anything you need to say, let's do it over a meal."

Outside the door, Eugene, too, was speechless.

He had come over because the secretary had conveyed Leo's earlier message, and only then did he realize how significant Amelie was to him. He felt guilty for having a random female secretary bring in the coffee. When he arrived at the door, he saw the two of them at odds. Eugene was not unfamiliar with this situation, but he couldn't just walk in. He stood there, frozen. Yet what he witnessed was the usually cold Mr. Alston becoming extremely gentle toward Amelie. He is putting his lover's needs above his own, even when provoked by a love rival! Is this the same boss I know?

Eugene was still in shock when Amelie spoke. "I've eaten."

Then, Leo walked over, lowered his head, and pressed his nose against her clothes, sniffing lightly. Amelie didn't understand what he was doing and flinched away in fear.
