When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 410

CHAPTER 410 ANYONE WHO TRIES TO HINDER HER WILL NOT LIVE

The person had already raised his head and was looking at her.

It was Leo. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He was wearing casual clothes. Even though he had just recovered, his excellent figure still couldn’t be hidden.

The apron that Steven always wore was now on Leo.

He was tall, making the apron look small on him. It was a funny sight.

Leo was also holding a dish. When he saw Amelie, he just smiled and said, "Let’s eat."

Amelie was too stunned to speak.

"Leony, you sit down. I’ll take care of the rest," Steven said to Leo in an unusually polite tone.

Leo still followed Steven into the kitchen.

Only when all the dishes were ready did Steven ask Bria and Amelie to the table.

Amelie looked at Leo, who was untying the apron.

Steven walked over and helped him take off the apron. Their tacit understanding was perfect.

This…

In her memory, her father had always had a problem with Leo. The politest he could get was nodding at Leo.

At this moment, they looked like father and son, which was inexplicable.

"From today on, Leo will learn to cook from me." Steven seemed to notice his daughter’s confusion and explained.

Amelie didn’t know what to say.

"That’s great!" Bria clapped happily. "Next time, I can eat the food made by Grandpa and Dad when I come home. I'm so lucky."

Amelie was amused and pursed her lips. The mighty Mr. Alston of Genesis was learning how to cook? He’s being underutilized.

Although Leo rarely cooked, his skills were not too bad. Bria was more than willing to finish the dish he made.

Amelie wanted to talk to Leo, but of course, she couldn’t do it in front of Steven.

After dinner, she went to the study to deal with some business matters.

By the time she was done, it was already 10.00PM. Leo was still there.

He was sitting on the mat with Bria while helping her to assemble something. Both of them seemed to be in discussion.

Steven was reading the newspaper beside them. He was wearing his reading glasses, but it was very far down his nose. They seemed to be sitting on the tip of his nose and could fall off at any moment.

The three of them formed a strangely harmonious scene.

Amelie inexplicably felt like she was the intruder.

"It’s time for bed." She walked over to Bria, indirectly reminding Leo that he should leave.

Steven was the first to react. He put away his reading glasses and folded the newspaper.

Leo helped Bria tidy up the things on the floor.

After finishing those tasks, Bria obediently went to her room.

Leo then swaggered into Amelie’s bedroom.

Amelie was too stunned to speak.

She stared at the back of Leo before turning to look at Steven.

Steven seemed unaware of where Leo had gone. He just went into his own room and closed the door.

She was speechless

Amelie looked at her partially opened bedroom door and then at her father’s closed door. She slapped her forehead.

Is he my real father? she thought.

After a moment, she hurriedly went into her room.

"It’s not suitable for you to stay here. You should go back," she said.

After she had finished speaking, she looked up and saw Leo’s bare upper body.

He casually removed his clothes, and with a lazy smile on his lips, he said, "What’s considered suitable?"

Amelie was dumbfounded.

She wanted to say something, but he had already walked into her bathroom.

She couldn’t follow him in, so she just sat on the bed in silence.

After Leo had finished his shower, he walked out with only a loosely draped bath towel around his waist.

His perfect skin and physique were almost completely exposed, which caused Amelie’s face to burn with heat.

"Do you want to take a shower yourself or do you want me to help you?" the man asked in a low voice.

Amelie looked at him. She felt like this man had not only injured his heart but his brain as well.

After waking up from a coma, he completely changed his ways of doing things.

"If you think it’s safe to get married, we can go get married first," he repeated.

This extremely abrupt statement left Amelie stunned for a moment before she realized that he was referring to their earlier conversation.

"No need," she replied, then quickly walked into the bathroom. She washed up hastily because Leo was still in her room.

When Amelie came out of the bathroom, she was wrapped up tightly.

Leo was sitting on the bed and he lifted his head to look at her. "Which part of your body have I not seen? Even if you're all wrapped up, I still know your body."

Amelie didn’t know what to say.

"You’ll sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep in the guest room," she muttered. She didn't really feel like sharing a room with him.

"I’ll sleep on the couch." Leo pointed to the couch opposite her.

She looked over.

This couch was only used for temporary rest. It was not spacious enough for him to sleep on.

"Or we can sleep on the bed together." He spoke again.

Amelie threw her hands up with exasperation. "You’ll sleep on the couch."

Leo didn't say anything. He just walked to the couch and lay down on it.

His long body was nestled on the couch, which gave off a sense of pity.

Amelie couldn’t help sympathizing with him.

However, when she realized that he brought this upon himself, she didn’t say anything. She climbed onto the bed and got under the covers.

Perhaps the day’s exhaustion had depleted her energy because not long after, she fell asleep.

When Amelie woke up, it was already morning.

She opened her eyes and saw Leo sitting on the couch and looking at the bed with a pitiful expression.

"You’re awake?" she asked casually, ignoring his gaze.

"My neck hurts." Leo pointed at his neck.

"Go home and sleep," she said intentionally.

He shook his head and said, "No."

Amelie was speechless.

"Now that you’re awake, should we talk about it?" she asked.

She had been wanting to talk about this.

"I haven’t fully recovered," Leo said matter-of-factly.

Looking at him, Amelie said, "I can’t tell there’s something off with you at all."

"The problem is with my heart, which you can’t tell just by looking at me," he answered.

Amelie didn’t really believe him.

However, she didn't know much about heart problems, so she could only remain silent in the end.

"I’m tired," he muttered.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Amelie could no longer stay cold-hearted. She pointed at the bed and said, "Go sleep on the bed."

"Okay." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his arms and legs.

The woman who was being held by him growled, "Hey, I told you to sleep on the bed, not me!"

The man rubbed his lips against her earlobe and said, "It’s so lonely and cold at night. It’s no fun to sleep alone."

"It’s already morning..." Amelie said.

Indeed, it was already morning.

For the first time in her life, she was exhausted during the day because of something other than work.

From that day on, Leo occupied her bedroom as a matter of course.

During the day, Amelie worked tirelessly for his company. At night, she worked tirelessly for him.

Leo, on the other hand, became interested in cooking, gardening, and everything else that was simple and ordinary. All under the excuse of recovering from his heart injury.

Ever since he moved in, Steven was completely liberated as he could eat ready-made meals every day now.

Maybe Steven was too bored, but he soon hit it off with a middle-aged woman whom he met at the group exercise. The two of them moved in together happily.

Her father had finally found the one for him, but there was no news for Amelie.

She waited and waited.

Even the end of the year did not bring any news.

Steven brought his newlywed wife, Mrs. Dillon, to celebrate the New Year at Amelie's house.

The family of three had now become a family of five. The atmosphere was lively and bustling.

"Blargh!"

During the dinner on New Year’s Eve, Amelie suddenly felt nauseous and ran to the bathroom to vomit.

Mrs. Dillon looked at her and smiled. "You’re pregnant."

"Pregnant… What?" Amelie was puzzled.

Mrs. Dillon smirked and said, "What else? You’ve already given birth to one. Don’t you know?"

Amelie understood.

But Leo...

"Wifey…"

Leo followed her, his face filled with joy and some uneasiness.

Amelie suddenly realized what was going on and wanted to hit him so badly.

"Didn’t we take precautions?" she asked.

He came over and hugged her pitifully. "Wifey, please keep the baby. I’ll do anything as long as you’re willing to keep it."

She was speechless.

After becoming pregnant, Amelie didn’t let others take over the work in Genesis. Instead, she gained a tagalong by her side.

Every day, Leo would be by her side to accompany her and take care of her day and night. He wouldn’t let anyone tire her out.

Yet, when it came to the person taking over the company, he remained tight-lipped.

Slowly, rumors began to circulate within the company that Genesis was built by Mrs. Alston, and Mr. Alston was just a freeloader. Without her, Mr. Alston was nothing.

The rumors spread for a long time. Everyone outside knew that Leo was the least worthy man in Clouson City. Other than his good looks, he had nothing else to offer and was definitely not worth pursuing.

One day, in a dark room, someone that had been criticized stepped on a man’s chest and said, "My wife is in charge of the business. I’ll be the one ending the trouble. Whoever tries to hinder her will not live!"
