When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 4

What is the meaning of this? Is Amelie accusing me of giving her the cold shoulder? How dare she complain about it when she did this to herself? Leo thought. Even though Amelie had a surprised expression, Leo still assumed that she had set this all up. Then, he turned and left. Suppose she doesn’t want her own reputation and insists on pulling a stunt like this. She can return after she has embarrassed herself enough! Just as Leo expected, the butler came out and saw Amelie that was behind him. “Mrs. Alston,” the butler called out. Then, Leo slowed down and stopped, thinking that he should remind her that she would be digging her grave if she kept on with this act. Then, he said coldly, “Listen, he—” “Thank you.” Before Leo could finish his words, Amelie cut him off and said to the maid when she walked past him and took a small pouch from the maid. Then, she looked at the butler, finding the need to correct the way he addressed her. “Please call me Miss Dillion. Also, I don’t want my belongings that are left in this house anymore. Please throw them away.” After finishing her words, she turned around and left. Seeing her actions, Leo was speechless. Did she ignore me and just talk to the butler and the maid? As the event occurred, the butler and the maid widened their eyes as they looked at Amelie strangely. After all, they knew that Amelie would be careful with her words and pleased Leo whenever he was around. However, they were confused by her actions today. When Amelie left the building, she said to the man still standing there, “Let’s go.” “Yes, Miss Dillion.” The man quickly opened the car door. When the two got inside the car, Amelie’s expression became stern, and she scolded the man, “Why are you acting crazy like Julia?” When she saw the scene, she could tell that it was Julia’s idea without a doubt. Hearing her words, the man scratched his head in embarrassment. “Isn’t this a surprise from Miss White?” I would rather call this a shocker than a surprise. Amelie knew that the man didn’t do it on purpose, so she didn’t say anything more and called Julia. When Julia answered her call, Amelie could hear the enthusiasm in her voice. “How was it? Was that b*stard surprised? Don’t worry. This isn’t over yet. Next, I will find more and more outstanding men for you. At that moment, he will know how popular you are!” Hearing her words, Amelie was speechless. Meanwhile, at the Alston Residence. After Amelie had left, Leo still hadn’t budged. “Why

did Mrs. Alston follow that man?” the maid asked in confusion. “Is she trying to betray…” Although she didn’t dare to finish her words, everyone knew what she meant. Leo had a grim expression and walked into the house without uttering a word. When Amelie returned to her place, she got a call from the maid. “Mrs. Alston, please come back to Alston Residence immediately. Mr. Alston is furious. Please come back, apologize and explain to him. You must not go overboard with this.” Hearing her concerned words, Amelie was as calm as the ocean. “Thank you for your concern, but didn’t he inform you guys? We are divorced.” “D-Divorce?” Hearing her words, the maid looked at Leo, who had a dark expression, shockingly. I thought it was just a joke when I saw the banner and those signs, but is it true? Then, the maid quickly recalled Amelie’s reaction. When she thought about it, her jaw almost dropped. Mrs. Alston… Is she the one who dumped Mr. Alston? When Leo saw that the maid did not tell him the exact time of Amelie’s return, he was impatient and snatched the phone. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Amelie’s voice saying, “Tell him not to worry. Since we are already divorced, I will not bother him anymore. Also, I have sent him a bank card. Well, I guess he could see it as my blessing for his next marriage.” After she had finished her words, the butler led a courier into the room. Then, the courier gave Leo the card. When he looked at it, he was furious. It was the card that he had given her on their wedding anniversary! Initially, the courier wanted to ask Leo to sign the paperwork. However, he didn’t say anything and left hurriedly when he saw the murderous look on Leo’s face. At that same time, in Julia’s apartment, Julia was giggling when she heard Amelie’s words. “That’s a good one, Amelie. That b*stard would be furious with the gift you sent him! That’s just wonderful!” Then, she snapped her fingers and jumped off the sofa. “Let’s prepare for the next step! That man who proposed to you before is a rookie, and he isn’t that clever. We have got to ask our male lead for this! Let’s make the hay while the sun shines and try to piss off that a*shole!” Hearing her words, Amelie tugged on her sleeves gently. “Stop causing trouble now. I sent the card back to him because I wanted to cut ties with him. If you keep causing trouble, he will think that I still have feelings for him. All I want now is to get the divorce certificate after a month and leave him for good!” When Julia heard her words, she didn’t try to force any funky ideas on her. “I’ll let him off the hook then!” Then, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “Is cutie-pie going to be back soon?” When Amelie heard the words ‘cutie-pie’, it

was like a magic password because her expressionless face softened, and she smiled warmly. “Yes.” She nodded as her eyes brightened. The next day, at 4.00PM, Amelie and Julia stood outside Star Kindergarten. After some time, they saw a girl in tutu walking out of the school; as she hunched her shoulder, her big doe eyes were looking around cautiously.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
