When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 122

She held her fury down and coldly hissed, “Just find her, and don’t ask questions.”

Oh, she’s mad. Ashton quickly explained, “I don’t mean to pry. I’m just worried if Leo finds out that this isn’t the one who—”

“She is the donor as long as you say she is!” Elyse growled like a tigress.

And Ashton was shocked.

A moment later, Elyse realized she had just lost her composure. Well, this is awkward. I know I see him as less than a bug, but at least he helped me. I shouldn’t have yelled at him. That was a bit unreasonable. And I have to calm him down, so he’ll keep supporting me. Softly, she apologized, “Sorry. Tension has been running high, so I lost control of my temper. I didn’t mean it.” She once again put on a sad look and gave him a puppy pout,

And Ashton fell for her act again. “I can’t believe Leo wouldn’t pay more attention to you. It’s like he doesn’t even care about your feelings. Unbelievable. He chose you. He should be treasuring you like you’re the most precious thing in life.” Elyse was the most perfect woman in the world, at least for Ashton. He thought she deserved nothing but the best.

Elyse sneered in silence. Yeah, right. Like you care about love. You’re a cheating jerk. I’ve seen you change girlfriends at least four times a month. As if you know how to treasure a woman. But she kept that to herself.

She still needed him, after all. So instead of mocking him, she held his hand. “I can’t count on my family for anything. Leo is all I have left. I have to go through a lot just to get back with him, and I don’t want anything to get between us. I don’t mind him searching for the donor, but I’m worried she might have ideas about him. If she wanted me to leave him, it’d be a disaster for me. And Leo might find her request hard to fulfill. You have to keep it a secret, for both him and me. Insist that Elaine was the donor.”

She went back not long after she left the night before, worried that Toby might put in a bad word with Leo. But by chance, she found out Leo was still searching for the donor. He didn’t think much about Toby’s elaboration, but she, on the other hand, felt a chill tun down her spine. And the only thought that went through her mind was, I can’t let Leo keep searching for that woman no matter what. She needed someone to impersonate the donor. Someone dead. And so, she asked Ashton to help her.

That sounds serious. Ashton quickly said, “I won’t say a word. Don’t worry.”
