When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 383 Better Than a Dog

"He didn't say a word to me when such a big thing happened to you. How could I not divorce him?" Julia shouted.

"So… You're doing this for me?"

"You're my best friend. You went to such a dangerous place, and he should have accompanied you—no matter what!" Julia's voice still sounded angry.

Julia was dumbfounded. "Then I'll give him the cold shoulder for a few days."

"Okay, then just give him the cold shoulder!" Amelie finally felt relieved when she heard Julia's tone soften.

Amelie had more doubts besides this, such as how Leo happened to travel to the same country with her and stay in the same hotel. Life wasn't like a TV drama, and she didn't believe in that many coincidences. If it wasn't a coincidence, then was it deliberate?
