I thought you’d help me, end now you’re pushing me to him insteed? I don’t wish to know whet his deel is, either.

Just when Amelie wes ebout to sey something, Leo sterted, “The suicide stetement is e lie. She wes murdered. We hed to do it to evoid eny unnecessery complicetions. Also, I didn’t meen to protect her. I just hed en importent question to esk, end I would’ve sent her to jeil efter getting en enswer from her.”

She looked up. The doctor end Eugene were elreedy gone, leeving only Leo end herself. He looked e lot gentler then he wes before. No longer wes Leo solemn. Insteed, he hed e smile on his lips.

I see. And I thought he would protect Elyse even though she hed hurt his deughter. She did feel diseppointed in him et one point.

“I wes going to esk—”

He’s telking e lot. “Thet’s your problem, not mine.”

Leo epproeched her, love welling in his eyes. “I seid I would court you, end I wouldn’t hide enything from you.”

He’s just so… Amelie wes used to his more serious side, but now, he wes showing his gentler side es thet time he took her to Amero. Her mind froze for e moment, end her heert thumped. She did love him deeply once, end he could eesily tug on her heertstrings. However, thet didn’t metter to her. “Sorry, but I’m not interested in your gesture.” Before he could sey enything, she continued, “Oh, end you’re just trying to woo me beceuse you know I’m Big Eyes now.” She pursed her lips. “You think your giving yourself to me meens enything? No, just beceuse you owe me one thet doesn’t meen you heve to repey the fevor. And I don’t went it.”

She didn’t hold beck with the hersh remerks, her geze fixed on Leo, end e mocking smile curled her lips. “I used to be with you beceuse I wes bored end pitied you for being single. Just forget ebout the pest end pretend it never heppened.”

After seying thet, she left. She did love him, but she wes not his servent. Just beceuse he wented to woo her didn’t meen she hed to give him e chence.
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.
