When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 241
Chapter 241
Ashton could barely walk straight after being roughed up. Seeing this, Chris had no choice but to
support him.Even though he wanted to send Ashton home, he couldn’t help turning around to look at
the other two men before his eyes darted in Amelie’s direction.They’re acting weird tonight… What if
something happens to Amelie after I leave?“You should take him away,” Amelie told him calmly.Chris
couldn’t possibly say anything else when Amelie herself told him to go with Ashton.With a screech, he
drove off into the night after he carried Ashton into his car.“Are you okay?” Toby returned to looking
gentle as he reached out to hold on to Amelie.He had the fright of his life because of what happened
earlier.Noticing that he was about to grab her, she ducked to the side, only for her hand to fall into
another big palm.The hand smoothly caught her hand and held it tight.She was taken aback at first but
when she turned her head, she was greeted by the sight of an expressionless Leo.She would have
thought that it was someone else if she hadn’t seen him reaching out to her.Her not letting Toby hold
her didn’t mean that she was permitting Leo to do so.She didn’t even hesitate and was about to pull her
arm away.“Bria’s looking for you,” he suddenly brought up.Bria was Amelie’s lifeline. As expected,
Amelie stopped struggling at the mention of the child’s name. “When did you go see her?”Leo didn’t
answer her and only pulled her away from the racetracks.A small head suddenly perked up from Leo’s
car before a hand appeared and waved. “Mommy!”Speak of the devil.“Bria? What are you doing here?”
Amelie pulled away from Leo’s grip and ran to the girl.Leo didn’t stop her this time.Bria immediately
reached out and threw herself into Amelie’s arms, rubbing against her like a kitten. “I woke up and
didn’t see you, Mommy. I was so scared. Daddy said he could bring me to see you!”She then quietly
blinked at Amelie. She didn’t tell Amelie why Leo went to their home or how she was taken away
through Steven.“I’m sorry.” Amelie didn’t have time to tell Bria about her ns because the child had
gone to bed early.“Mommy, you were amazing! I want to go vroom-vroom too when I grow up!” Bria
articted each word with precision.She thought Amelie was impressive when she saw her car flying in
the air earlier.Amelie patted the child’s head. “I’m professionally trained. You can’t do what I did like it’s
a game, okay, Bria? It’s very dangerous.”With the child’s limited ability toprehend things, AmelieThis content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
was afraid that Bria would imitate her actions.Bria gave a hum in reply while she rubbed her eyes.She
was very, very sleepy. In order to wait for her Daddy to bring her to Mommy, she had been struggling to
put off sleep.When Amelie noticed her drowsiness, she caressed Bria’s soft and fluffy hair before
turning to look at Toby, “Mr. Walsh, my daughter is sleepy. We’ll be leaving now.”She then picked up
Bria and carried the girl to her car.“She can’t lie down in your car. It’s too narrow for her to feel
comfortable.” Leo stopped her out loud.After saying that, he opened the backdoor of his car.“I want to
ride in Daddy’s car.” Bria nuzzled her face in Amelie’s embrace. “Daddy’s car has a little princess
bed.”Amelie wouldn’t have cared under normal circumstances but when it came to Bria, she had to
think more about it.Seeing how stubborn Bria was about it, Amelie said nothing while she turned
around and entered the car with her head lowered.Leo pressed his broad palm on Amelie’s back,
giving her proper support.Toby silently watched every move. Leo’s support might look like he was
helping Amelie into the car but in fact, he was staking his im.Leony, have you really fallen for her?
Amelie only noticed the additional child safety seat in Leo’s car after hopping into the car.It was a pink
chair that had turned into a sleeping basket. There were nkets and pillows inside.There was even a
small canopy hanging over it.It looked like a mini bed for a princess.Bria crawled into the basket and
comfortably smacked her lips together, two of her fingers pointing at her belly. Amelie quickly buckled
Bria in when she understood what the child wanted.Only then did Bria feel at ease and close her
eyes.“Mommy, I’d like a bedtime story, please,” she mumbled.Amelie thought for a while. She then took
out her phone and pressed into a story app before slowly reading the story on it.Leo, who was in the
passenger seat, signaled the driver to turn off the music from the radio.The car was filled with Amelie’s
soft yetpelling voice at that instant.An hourter, the car drove into a residential area and stopped
at the building where Amelie lived.“Thanks,” she politely uttered and lowered her torso to carry
Bria.However, the driver was even quicker than her as he took Bria first and strode to the
building.Amelie didn’t say anything and followed after him. She opened the door for the driver and
started to go upstairs with him when the door suddenly closed in her face.She didn’t even notice that a
big hand was pressing the door shut from above her head.“Why did Toby hit Ashton?” Leo pressed the
door with one hand and left his other arm hanging by the side of his body.Their distance was suddenly
closed when he lowered his torso and leaned in toward her.She could even feel his erratic breath
fanning her face.“How am I supposed to know the answer to that?” she asked in return, her expression
innocent.It was true that she didn’t know.She was at a loss as well when Toby started beating up
Ashton.“They probably have some kind of personal grudge between them.” This was the only
possibility she could think of.Despite hearing her answer, Leo didn’t step backward. He continued to
gaze at her with dark eyes, looking as though he wanted to see through her.There was something
different about his eyes. It was like a stone pressing on her chest, or more like an invisible steel
surrounding her.Even breathing became difficult for her.Leo insisted again, “Toby has never enjoyed
making enemies.”“Do you want me to admit that he fought because of me, Mr. Alston?” She was
cornered by him at this point. “If that is what you want, I’ll agree with whatever you think.”She didn’t
want to waste her time on him.“Also,” she added, “will you please let me know before you take Bria
away in the future?”Her heart couldn’t take it. He had brought the child away without saying anything
more than once now.“Bria likes me.” Leo gave an irrelevant answer.Seeing how she was rendered
speechless, he asked again, “Do you have feelings for Toby?”Tonight, he has more questions than
usual. During our four years of marriage, he has never asked me questions more than he is doing
tonight.“It is none of your business, is it, Mr. Alston?” Even if Amelie didn’t have feelings for Toby, she
didn’t want Leo sticking his nose into her life either.However, her answer made his calm gaze
narrow.“Bria is my daughter. I have the right to know the kind of family she will have in the future!”Ah,
it’s because of Bria! Amelie quietlyughed at herself. And here I was, overthinking about how he
would want to be a part of my life. Thank goodness I didn’t say anything.Amelie was ufortable
being trapped against the wall by Leo, and she couldn’t help fiddling with some wisps of hair next to her
ear. “Don’t worry, Mr. Alston. I have no ns to get married yet.”But that didn’t mean she didn’t like
Toby.“You can find out about Toby’s family if you look into it. The Walsh Family can’t ept someone
who was married, especially if the partner is an ex-wife from a family they are close with!”How dare he?
Amelie fumed.This was not the first time Leo had reminded her how she wasn’t worthy of Toby.Is he
still thinking that I want to marry someone wealthy for their money even at this point?Her expression
quickly turned cold. “Mr. Alston, you don’t have to worry that I’ll hold on to Mr. Walsh. Also, the Walsh
Family may be unweing of a divorcee from a family they are close with but I, too, don’t like getting
involved with the people my ex-husband knows.”Pleased with her words, Leo finally stepped
back.Amelie started deriding herself when she saw the satisfied smirk on his face.She thought Leo was
afraid that his ex-wife would stick around him.
