When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 356 To Hurt His Feelings
Amelie looked in that direction to see Michelle and Leo walking in her direction side by side.
Already discussing family plans? Amelie couldn’t help looking at Michelle’s tummy, but it was flat.
They had just confirmed their relationship, so they wouldn’t have children this early even if they were
together.
Obviously, they were at the hospital for a pre-marital checkup.
Leo’s arms hung by his sides, his gaze cold and lips pursed tightly as if he didn’t want to talk to
Michelle.
When his gaze shifted and landed on Amelie, it lingered briefly as he answered, “Both are okay to me.”
Michelle froze, surprised that he had responded to her.
However, she also caught sight of Amelie, and a meaningful expression appeared on her face.
Purposefully linking her arm with Leo’s, Michelle raised her carefully made-up face higher.
“You and I have the same opinion, Leo.I am not picky either”
“Oh, Miss Dillon.What a coincidence to see you here,” she called out after that as if she had just
spotted Amelie.
“Miss Walsh, Mr.Alston,”
Amelie greeted them politely.
Michelle smiled brightly while Leo nodded volitely as they passed her, behaving like strangers.
Amelie merely assumed he wanted to avoid controversy and did not think too much about it as she
continued walking.
Behind them, Michelle voluntarily removed her arm from Leo’s and retreated to a safe distance, her
eyes focused curiously on Leo’s face.
Since his gaze was still directed toward Amelie, he wasn’t looking at her.
Even if it wasn’t obvious, she still caught it as her smile became wider.
“Mr.Alston, you still cannot forget Miss Dillon, can you?”
Her voice became polite and distant, compared to the intimate one from before.
Amelie was truly admirable since she had caught Leo’s weakness.
Now, he thought he didn’t deserve her.
Although he still fancied her a lot, he still distanced herself from her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter being refused by Leo, she was focused on revenge.
The more he was hurting, the happier she felt.
If she wasn’t so wary of him, she would have brought him before Amelie every day so that she could
torture him repeatedly.
“If you can’t let go of her, just pursue her.We’re merely putting up a facade to avoid everyone’s
attempts at forcing marriage on us.You don’t have to be concerned about me”
She sounded sincere, yet her eyes were cold.
He didn’t seem to have heard her and walked straight past her.She was speechless, and the
satisfaction she got from revenge was quickly replaced with the feeling of being ignored.She pinched
her fingertips under her sleeve before she quickly chased after him.
Even if he didn’t say anything, she continued chattering on.
“Miss Dillon is admirable for removing her cornea for you.This takes a lot of courage, and I would never
have done it even with borrowed courage” she said before sighing once again.
“How much does she like you? [ heard that she got an infection after donating her cornea and was
unconscious for three months.She saved you by risking her life”
Michelle knew that Leo had decided to let her go because of this, and she decided to rub salt in his
wound.
The more tormented he was, the better she felt!
“Ow!”
Just as she was talking, Leo suddenly stopped.
Not paying attention, she bumped into his back.It was cold and stiff, which made her shiver from it.
Even if he hadn’t turned around and she couldn’t see his expression, she could feel the murderous
aura coming from him.Her satisfaction was quickly replaced by fear as she felt an invisible hand around
her neck, which caused her breathing to become laborious.
He did not need to say anything to make her feel suffocated! Soon, night fell.
As the cold tide came, the weather became colder.
The night was freezing cold, and the number of people outside declined while every home was
illuminated.
Leo sat in the car, his windows half open.
The warm light shining on his face formed a clear contrast to his pale skin.
The air conditioning wasn’t cold, but the interior was as cold as the exterior.
He held a cigarette between his fingers and took a smoke occasionally.
The blue smoke emanating from his mouth as well as his slightly thin white shirt somehow gave the
feeling that it was colder inside the car.
His eyes were half-closed, and his eyebrows were locked in a frown.
While a slight smile could be seen from time to time previously, his expression was now frigid enough
to freeze water.
“You don’t deserve Amelie.” He recalled Toby’s words over and over, a bitter smile spreading across his
face.He had thought Toby said that on purpose because the other man wanted to fight him for Amelie,
but now, he could feel how much she had sacrificed for him.He did not deserve her and wasn’t even
worthy of bringing her shoes to her.
Leo rubbed his eyes, allowing the explosive pain to fill his chest.She was Big Eyes, and the cornea
donor had been her.
However, he had abandoned his savior in the Alston Residence for four years and let everyone bully
and tease her.
He should go to hell because of this! The coldness he had shown her in the daytime wasn’t because he
didn’t want to be involved with her but because he didn’t deserve it.He didn’t deserve to talk to her, see
her face, or even miss her! Time flew by, and a month soon passed.
“Mr.Alston.”
Eugene walked into the office early and turned to see Leo.His head was bowed as he worked on the
computer, his expression cold and serious.
Even though the heater was cranked up to the max, Eugene still chilled at the sight and shivered
involuntarily.
He retreated from the room and headed for the secretary’s 24-hour work counter.
“Give me today’s work arrangements.”
The secretary quickly took out a form that was filled with words.
Even Eugene, who had worked with Leo and gotten used to him, drew in a sharp breath at that.Did Leo
consider himself a robot?
“What happened to Mr.Alston? He does not take any breaks and keeps working, nor does he eat
much,” the secretary couldn’t help asking him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEugene might be the president’s special assistant, but he was a completely different person compared
to Leo.
He was open and friendly with a willingness to deal with the secretaries, which was why she dared to
ask him that question.
“What can I do?”
He laughed bitterly and shook his head.
At this rate, Mr.Alston would work himself to death.
“Eugene.Just as he was sighing, Melissa walked in from the side with a thermal cup in one hand. She
was dressed in a thick mink coat, but her expression was sour.
“Mrs.Alston.”
He didn’t exactly like her but still greeted her out of courtesy.Melissa looked into the office.
“Is he…still acting like this?”
He nodded silently, and she looked ready to cry.
“What’s wrong with Leo? Why has he become like this? He doesn’t even go home now and always
drives to somewhere I don’t know about.I’m so worried”
Eugene did not say anything but mentally pursed his lips.She was only worried that Leo was going
through something that wouldn’t allow her to continue her glamorous lifestyle.
“Eugene, you have been by his side for the longest time, so you should know him best.Please think of
a way to make him go back to normal so that he does not work this much.”
She didn’t care about appearances anymore and held his hand while pleading with him.
“Oh, it’s snowing!”
Bria shouted excitedly in the morning when she saw a sea of white as soon as she opened the window.
The temperature had dropped for so long, and she had waited long enough.
The snow was finally coming as she wished.
Bria quickly put on the down parka Steven had gotten her and dragged bean Amelie along with her.
“Mama, let’s go see the snow and skate!”
Amelie was led downstairs by Bria.
“Oooh Bria jumped into the snow, her hands throwing the snowflakes into the air.
However, Amelie’s eyes were fixed on the spot that the snow hadn’t covered.It looked dark and far too
obvious in contrast with the snow around it, and there was evidence of tires having stopped there.
There were also cigarette butts beside those tire tracks.
