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.

Amelie felt both warm and amused, "He asked me to bring a bodyguard, but I refused. Also, I didn't want him to tell you."

"I don't believe it!" Julia still thought Amelie was helping Samuel.

"It's true," Amelie assured her again and again. "If you divorce him over this, won't I become the guilty one? You're my good friend. Don't do this to me."

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

At that moment, he was being lifted by two bodyguards. He shook his head weakly toward Melissa and said, "Mrs. Alston… D-Don't blame Leo. I-It's all a misunderstanding. I'm fine…" He was a mess with a bloody face and dirt all over him like he had just been pulled out of
