When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Today was the day to sign the contract. Although Jimmy Goldstein was the representative of the

collaboration company, he arrived late at 10.00AM. Not only was he late, but he was also wearing a

suspender that held his newborn daughter. “Sorry, I was feeding my daughter, so I came a few minutes

late.” Jimmy apologized to those present. Even though he had an apologetic look, there was also pride

on his face. After he finished speaking, he put an arm around the baby and picked up the contract with

the other hand. Feeling uncomfortable, the child twisted her little body and whimpered. Jimmy

immediately put down the contract and patted the little baby’s back to coax her. Leo, who was sitting

across from him, looked at him with obvious disgust on his face. “The Goldstein Family is huge. Can’t

you afford a nanny?” When Jimmy heard Leo’s words, he was not only not ashamed, but he also

looked reproachful. “You have a child too. Can’t you understand my feelings of becoming a father?” His

words startled Leo, who did not respond for a long time. Although he became a father, he did not pay

much attention to Bria. At the beginning, he was too busy with work and had no time. Later, when the

child was older, she would hide every time she saw him. Leo never owed anyone in his life, but he did

owe the child. “Well, you and Amelie should not have divorced for the sake of the child.” After signing

the contract, Toby could not help but persuade Leo. “The child is yours. She no longer has a family, so

who else will be kind to her? Aren’t you afraid that she will become pitiful in the future?” “We’re already

divorced; what’s the use of talking about it now?” Leo said sullenly. “Can’t you get back together?” “It’s

because she knows they can remarry that Amelie dared to divorce.” Ashton spoke up on the other side.

He slammed his phone against the edge of the chair. “Did you not see what that Dillon woman posted

on social media? She took the initiative to clarify the relationship with Blake, saying that they are just

ordinary friends and that she has been treating him like a younger brother!” Hearing what he said, Toby

immediately checked social media. Sure enough, he saw the clarification posted by Amelie through

Blake’s social media. “I can assure you that that Dillon woman will find a way to attend the

Entrepreneur Dinner tomorrow night. There, she will apologize to Leo and take advantage of the

opportunity to propose remarriage.” From Ashton’s point of view, even the scandals with Jamie and

Blake were planned by Amelie in order to agitate Leo and finally remarry Leo. “If she really does this,

it’s a good chance.” Toby looked at Leo meaningfully and squeezed his shoulder tightly. “Although she

is a bit scheming, she has always been a good woman during the marriage.” … Perhaps because of

Ashton’s words, Leo’s best friends came to the Entrepreneur Dinner the next day. In addition to Toby,

Jimmy and Ashton, there were two others who deliberately came back from abroad. Sure enough,

Amelie really appeared at the venue. Today, she looked pure and lovely. Her white dress came down

just enough to cover her knees, and her high heels of the same color complemented her slender and

straight legs. As she was slender, she looked willowy and weak like she would be blown away by the

wind. The fine makeup on her gorgeous little face was very light, which made her look delicate and

fragile as if she needed someone to protect her. Ashton raised his chin disdainfully and said, “I guessed

it right! Within 30 seconds, she will definitely look for Leo.” When he said this, the corners of his lips

were raised in mockery. As for Leo, he kept drinking with his head down. Although he did not say

anything, when he saw Amelie walking toward him, he still gripped the wine glass. Observant people

would notice that Elyse was not with him as usual. When those around him saw Amelie approaching

him, realization dawned on their faces and they waited to watch the show. Leo raised his chin

habitually. He wanted to see what method Amelie would use to repent of her past mistakes! “I’ve been

waiting for you for a long time.” Perhaps because of the attire she wore today, Amelie sounded a bit

grievous and pitiful when she spoke. Leo snorted coldly. “If you don’t sincerely admit your mistake, you

should…” Before he could say the words “go away”, he saw Amelie walk straight past him and went

toward another man! She did not come here for me? “Sorry, I was stuck in traffic.” The man facing

Amelie looked mature and responsible, but he had an easy-going smile on his face. Everyone was

speechless. The man who met Amelie was Samuel Gage. It was none other than Julia’s fiancé. Of

course, he was also a good friend of Amelie. The long friendship between the three of them had long

surpassed what was ordinary, and they were as close as family. Hence, when the two talked, there was

some intimacy between them. Amelie was all looking forward to seeing Samuel, so she did not notice

Leo when she came over. The neglected Leo was dumbfounded. “It’s a little noisy here; let’s go

elsewhere for a chat,” Samuel said, and the two left together. Although they did not hold hands, the

intimacy between the two was enough to make people wonder about their relationship. Emotion

overcame Leo as he clenched his fists tightly, not even knowing that he had broken the wine glass.

Only when the glass piece pierced his skin and the pain came did he look down. “Hey, you’re injured!”

A pair of hands reached out and held Leo’s hand. “Why are you so careless?”
