When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 90

Chapter 90 She’s the One I Want to Protect

Amelie turned around and looked at Leo, puzzled.

“Can I help you with something, Mr. Alston?” She had to ask after a long silence.

Hearing that, he let go of her, his gaze blurry.

“What were you trying to do by asking Jodie to expose Elyse?”

Ah, so Jodie went ahead with it? Amelie mused.

She wasn’t surprised that Jodie would go pick a fight with Elyse, but what she was surprised about was that Leo would come to her.

“I was the one who ignored you from the start. I’ve said it again and again. Come at me if you’re displeased about something. Don’t involve anyone unrelated. Why won’t you listen to me?”

His tone as he continued speaking was filled with rage, impatience, as well as his disgust toward her.

Amelie felt like she had suddenly understood a lot of things when she heard this.

Even if Jodie had exposed the truth about Elyse’s faking an eye problem, Leo would still choose Elyse.

Will he still think she’s the best when she kills someone one day?

“Aren’t you shameless to think that I would waste time to be displeased with you? And even if I’m upset about something, we’re already divorced! There’s nothing between us anymore. I’m not that petty to still let it affect me!” she sneered.

Her eyes were chilling as if she had no regard for him.

His dark eyes were fixed on her.

He had heard her say such words one too many times after the divorce, but there was no way he would believe her when she always did the opposite as she promised.

Amelie knew Leo too well to easily know what he was thinking from the slight change of expression.

Sadness immediately washed over her when she saw the look on his face.

People who didn’t mean what he said would always think that others were as untrustworthy as them; that was the kind of person Leo was.

“Yes, I am trying to pick a bone with her, but it’s all because of my grudge between me and her. Mr. Alston, please don’t think too highly of yourself or look too deeply into it. It’s between me and her. It has nothing to do with you!”
