When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 189

“What took you so long?” On the other end of the phone, Melissa’s voice was in haste and impatient.

Hearing her words, Elyse rolled her eyes in disdain, unhappy with Melissa’s attitude. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Melissa’s words. “Leo just came back and refuses to hold the engagement. I have done everything I can to help you. Now, it’s up to you if the engagement will go through.”

When Elyse heard her words, she was stunned. “What do you mean? Did you not inform him about the engagement?”

She knew that Melissa couldn’t have gotten Leo to agree to this matter. Hence, she asked Melissa if she had tried persuading him all this while.

However, Melissa didn’t reply to her. The only sound coming from the phone was the beeping tone—Melissa had hung up on her.

At that moment, Elyse was furious. She gripped her phone tightly and almost threw it away. However, she stopped herself since there were still many people outside the room. If they were to know about this matter, she would be doomed.

Thinking about this, Elyse clutched the phone tightly and leaned against the wall while breathing heavily. Her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. After all, there was no way she would give up when things had come to this point.

She gritted her teeth tightly, almost drawing blood.

At this moment, Donia’s voice rang by the door. “Did something happen, Elyse?”

Hearing her voice, Elyse turned around and was met with her questioning gaze. Donia’s gaze was like a light shining on her, making her nauseous. However, she suppressed the feeling and said, “I’m fine. I’m just nervous and tired, that’s all.”

When Donia heard her words, her expression softened. Then, she nodded and looked at her watch. “There is still some time before the ceremony. I’ll take the girls out of the room while you get some rest.”
