When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 233


    Chapter 233


    “W-Why do you want to apany her all of a sudden? Her mental state hasn’t been all that well


    recently, so even if you go, you’ll be scaring her.” Elyse tried to deter Leo from visiting Ellen. It was then


    that she realized how quiet it was in the room.There was a strange atmosphere affecting her.Unable to


    withstand this, Elyse turned around to look at Leo only to find that Leo was also looking at her.His icy


    gaze seemed like it was looking straight into her innermost thoughts, digging up all her


    secrets.Frightened by this, Elyse found herself unable to stand properly, as her knees gave out


    somewhat.Hasn’t Leo just been asking about her condition out of courtesy?Why does he suddenly


    want to see her?Don’t tell me he knows?Elyse thought about that, but then she shook her head.Unless


    he found Ellen, there’s no reason he would suspect me.But if he really found Ellen, he wouldn’t act like


    this.When Elyse was still around Leo, even though she would make a fuss over everything, she was,


    by no means, brainless, as she still more or less understood Leo as a person.After deducing this, she


    calmed herself down.On the other hand, Leo, who did not state whether he believed her words or not,


    walked outside.Upon seeing him walk out, Elyse held her chest, feeling like it was about to burst.That


    was scary.“If you don’t want to go, I’ll go by myself.” At the entrance, the man suddenly stopped and


    stated.“Eh?”Elyse’s heart rate immediately shot up to the maximum. She thought she was going to


    have a heart attack.Without waiting for her to say anything, Leo left.After half an hour, they found


    themselves standing in front of Michael’s house.Two blooming pomegranate trees were nted on


    both sides of the entrance, making it seem very red.Although Elyse looked calm on the surface, she


    kept fiddling her fingers, unable to hide the fear within.Looking at the entrance and then back at the


    statue-like man, she bit her lips before saying, “My dad’s not home. How about wee another


    day?”“He left your sister, who is in a bad shape, alone?” Leo asked.Speechless, Elyse realized that she


    spoke out of turn.“What I mean is that my father must have gone out with my sister since it’s not


    healthy to be cooped up in the house all day long. My father cares for her dearly, so he often takes her


    out,” she quickly added.Since Elyse’s ‘sister’ did not exist, she could say anything as long as Michael


    did not return.Elyse then secretly dialed her father’s number, for her aim was to let him be aware ofN?velDrama.Org owns this.


    their conversation.Although she thought that her father was not reliable, she admitted that he was, at


    the very least, sharp.Even without needing her reminder, he would know to hide away if he overheard


    their conversation.“Oh?” Leo looked at her.Not in the mood to seduce him, Elyse only wanted to make


    him leave of his own ord as fast as possible.As expected, Leo turned around, yet he added, “Aren’t


    you calling your father right now? Tell him toe back with your sister.”Caught off guard, Elyse did


    not think that Leo would notice such a small detail.This made her grip her phone tightly and look at him


    as if she was looking at a monster.When did Leo be so observant?Leo then kept his


    silence.Naturally, he would not tell her that he was always so observant.In the past, he did not question


    her out of love for her.Now, it was simply because he no longer needed to give her his love.Exposed by


    Leo, Elyse found no other option but to call Michael again.This time, Michael did not answer the call.“I


    think something might have happened to Ellen,” she stated dryly.Nodding, Leo got into his car, which


    was parked right beside the residence. The sight of him getting into the car relieved Elyse before she


    followed him into the car.Not daring to sit in the back seat, she chose to sit in the front passenger


    seat.When she turned around, she saw that Leo had his arms crossed and eyes shut.“Just reverse the


    car out,” she ordered the chauffeur.Since the alleyway was too narrow, there was no way to make a U-


    turn.Yet, the chauffeur remained motionless, looking only at Leo.Obviously, he only tookmand from


    Leo.In the past, this chauffeur used to drive her around. Now, he acted as if he had never seen her


    before.Elyse cursed him under her breath before saying to Leo, “Leo, this alley is a dead end. We can


    only reverse out.”“Just wait.”Expressionless, Leo only moved his lips.But it was these two words that


    scared the wits out of Elyse.What’s wrong with this man today?Why must he see my ‘sister?’“What if


    they aren’ting back today? They often stay at a ce for one or two days if my sister fancies it.”


    Elyse clutched the tinum bag on herp tightly so as to maintain her sanity.“It’s not like they’ll stay


    there for an eternity, will they?” Leo suddenly opened his eyes before lurching forward.He pressed his


    hands against the chair before extending his neck, exchanging his gaze with Elyse, who got shocked


    so much that she jumped a bit.At that moment, she was akin to frightened prey while Leo watched her


    every move in silence.The more silent he got, the more naked Elyse felt she was to him.Are my secrets


    already known to him?If I make such a man like Leo into my enemy, it will mean the end of my life.After


    a long while, she managed a squeak. “Not that they will.”Leo theny back and resumed


    resting.Lowering her head, Elyse carefully took her phone out, wanting to send Michael a message,


    telling him to note back.Yet, she only managed to type one word before her phone was snatched


    away.“Miss yton, I’ll be taking your phone for safekeeping temporarily.” The driver was the one who


    took it.Speechless, Elyse was livid.Unfortunately, without Leo to back her up, she was nothing in front


    of the chauffeur, as he ignored her and ced her phone in the storage bin.Elyse naturally knew that a


    chauffeur would not dare to offend her, meaning that this was nned by Leo.Feeling regretful, she


    thought that if she had not kicked up a fuss and had married him back then, she would not be stuck in


    this predicament now.The thing Elyse felt remorse about was getting affected by that person to do this


    sort of thing.Not only did the oue affect her rtionship with Leo, but it also allowed Amelie to


    come between their lives.As time went by, Leo seemed like he had really fallen asleep, for he stayed


    motionless for hours.Elyse, who could only watch the sky slowly darken, prayed that her father would


    note back.Night came. With no streetlights to illuminate the surroundings, Leo’s car was shrouded


    byplete darkness.By this point, the driver was already gone, leaving only Elyse and Leo alone in


    the car.Finally, Elyse found the opportunity and subtly reached out toward the storage bin.Inching


    closer and closer, she managed to reach her phone.With an ted expression, she yanked it out


    before turning on silent mode and started typing away.Yet, just as she finished typing the message, a


    light shone their way, illuminating them.Under the sudden illumination, Leo’s car seemed like a beast


    that popped up out of nowhere.The driver was driving at a breakneck speed. Caught off guard, by the


    time the driver had stopped, the other car was already in the alleyway.There were only a few inches left


    before it would crash into Leo’s car.Elyse was still guessing who drove to this ce when she looked


    into the rearview and saw a rotund person.Father! He came back.
