When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 58

“What? Who?” Bafflement laced Elyse’s voice, causing Leo to ponder. However, he didn’t answer her in the end. “Nothing. Rest early.”

He decided to keep it from her and personally verify it first.

“But Leo-Elyse wanted to use the chance to ask Leo to keep her company, but the man had hung up on her before she could say a thing!

Elyse bit her lips in exasperation as she listened to the busy tone coming from her phone.

Though Leo had agreed to date her, she couldn’t find the sensation she used to feel when they dated in the past anymore.

Back then, he always waited for her to hang up before he did, and he could even give her his life just by calling him ‘Leo’.

More importantly, the question he asked just now wasn’t just a random thought. What was he trying to ask?

She mulled over it but couldn’t come to a conclusion even if she racked her brains.

She found it harder and harder to understand the man now, and Elyse couldn’t help rubbing her temples.

Suddenly, she felt a weight on her back, and she was shackled.

The next second, the grip on her waist tightened, and she fell into a burning embrace.

“How boring it is to drink alone. I’ll join you,” said an amorously ambiguous voice by her ear.

The dim lighting highlighted the man’s profile, but because his back was to the light, his face was indistinguishable. That said, his voice was exceptionally alluring on this cloudy night.

He pinched super tactfully on the side of her waist, causing her to jolt involuntarily while he swooped in for a kiss. However, Elyse shoved him away at once and put a great distance between them.

“What are you doing here?” Her voice and countenance frosted over. However, the man remained in the shadows with his arms crossed.

“Don’t you feel lonely without company on such a romantic night?” he drawled, and his tone was even laced with insouciance.
