When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Leo Was Being Scolded Again

“Do you think I want to be here?” asked Ashton as he took out his phone impatiently. There was judgment in his eyes, seemingly as if this place was a dump.

“Listen for yourself!” he said to Amelie.

Amelie knew what he meant and walked toward him.

He wanted them to listen to a voice message, in which the speaker’s voice was in haste. “Do you know where Leo went, Ashton? I’m worried about him since I can’t find him anywhere. Can you help me look for him?”

When Amelie heard the speaker’s melodic voice, she knew immediately who it was—it was Elyse!

Don’t tell me that Ashton came here in the middle of the night to help Elyse look for Leo, Amelie thought while clicking her tongue. At that moment, realization struck her as to why he had come to her. After all, Ashton had always looked down upon her and would avoid her when she was at the Alston Residence. Plus, he was the type who would never force himself to do something he disliked.

However, he was willing to come to her doorstep because of Elyse. Speaking of which, she felt that Elyse had a great life. The reason for it was that she had Leo, a man who was madly in love with her and didn’t mind that she had betrayed him once, and Ashton, a man who would do anything for her.

Just as Amelie was about to tell Ashton that Leo wasn’t at her place, another voice message from Elyse popped up. “It’s fine now, Ashton. I already know where he is. He is at the Grandsive Hotel… Jamie is there too.”

When the voice message came to an end, Julia’s phone rang right away. When she answered her phone and heard what the person on the other line had said, her expression changed drastically. “Leo,

that d*mn b*stard!” she cursed.

…

After some time, Amelie and Julia rushed to Grandsive Hotel as fast as they could.

When they arrived at Room 1032, the door was ajar, and Jamie was sitting on the bed with his chest showing since his shirt was unbuttoned. Both of his hands were propped against his sides, and his usual smiley face was filled with anger.

In front of him was a man who sat on the chair like a god looking down upon his creation. His long and slender legs were casually stretched out while his hands were propped against the armrest. One of his hands was holding a lighter and flicking it mindlessly, filling the room with clicking sounds. The man had an expressionless face and was quiet the whole time, and he was none other than Leo.

When Amelie entered the room and saw Jamie’s situation, she inhaled sharply and gasped. As for Julia, she grabbed her hair in frustration as soon as she saw the scene.

“D*mn it!” Seeing the duo, Jamie bellowed and glared at Leo with fury in his eyes. “You are a d*ckhead for framing me, Alston.”

Hearing his words, Leo stopped playing with the lighter and leaned forward. However, his cold eyes didn’t land on Jamie but next to him. “Was I the one who forced you to have sex with her?”

At this moment, a disheveled woman was sitting beside Jamie. She could barely cover herself with the blanket, and the scene was enough for anyone to guess what had just happened.

“Jamie!” Julia shouted in frustration while gripping her hair.

When Jamie heard Julia shouting at him, hurt filled his handsome face, and he defended himself, saying, “I wasn’t the one who brought her here. Besides, nothing happened between us!”

As his words fell, the woman said in a low voice, “I… I’m his fan and have admired him for a long time.”

Amelie knew what type of person Jamie was. Although he was cheeky and sometimes flirtatious, he had his boundaries and would never have an intimate relationship with a fan. Everything would be easily solved if only Jamie and his fan were in the room. However, Leo was here too, and he was not an idle person. There was definitely a reason why he was here, and with his tactics, he could ruin Jamie’s future with this matter!

Thinking about it, Amelie walked toward Leo and asked, “What are you trying to do, Leo?”

However, Leo was his usual cold self and didn’t say anything to her. After looking at his watch, he stood up and left.

Seeing his actions, Amelie took a few deep breaths and trailed behind him. Then, she stood in front of him, blocking his path. “I was the one who angered you, and if you have any grudges, come right at me. Jamie has nothing to do with this, so leave him alone.” As she spoke, her tone softened.

This was all her fault since she had underestimated Leo. Initially, she thought the most he could do was to make Starlight Media go bankrupt. Never did she expect that he would hurt the people around her.

When Leo heard her words, he finally spoke up. “I’m not looking for you. Instead, I want to find the man you had an affair with!” As he said that, he gritted his teeth, and Amelie could tell he was furious.

He wanted to deal with the man whom Amelie had an affair with. Although he didn’t love Amelie, he forbade her to be pregnant with someone’s child while still being Mrs. Alston!

“Tell him to show himself!” Leo ordered.

Hearing his words, Amelie could only tell him the truth. “I’m the boss of Starlight Media,” she said.

Yet, Leo only sneered at her words and said, “So this is the man you’ve chosen to spend your life with, Amelie? An irresponsible man who doesn’t care for his child and makes you take the blame when things happen again?”

When Amelie heard his accusation, she was speechless. Knowing that he would not believe her, she didn’t dwell on the topic for long. “I didn’t lie or use you. At that time, it… it was my first time with you. You saw it with your own eyes too—”

Before she could finish her words, he cut her off and said, “Are you saying that you cheated on me after our marriage because you felt lonely?” He looked at her coldly and continued, “It was you who wanted to be Mrs. Alston. So, you must bear with the loneliness no matter what! Who gives you the right to complain about this? Also, don’t you feel ashamed for having an affair with another man and having his child?”

At that moment, Amelie was hurt by his harsh words. No matter how unwilling or upset she felt, she never wanted to become Mrs. Alston. At that time, she unintentionally became the third wheel between Leo and Elyse by having sex with him. It was such an embarrassing moment for her that she decided to run away from it. Moreover, she had even planned to leave this city for good. However, he was the reason that she stayed and became Mrs. Alston.

As she thought about it, she felt overwhelmed by her emotions, and she had to suppress the urge to cry. Then, she looked at Leo while her lips curled into a mocking smile. “That’s right. I’m just so shameful that I’m willing to bear the child of another man. However, did you cherish me when I had yours? Did you forget about the time when we found out I was pregnant after the next day of our marriage? At that time, it was your family doctor who examined me, and he even did a prenatal test just to prove that the baby was an Alston!

“Yet, what did you do to your own child? While we were on the way to visit your father’s grave, you kicked me out of the car just because you got a call from Elyse. Without any arrangements, you left me alone on the side of the road on a snowy day!”

Her past had been too cruel. If Leo hadn’t said those hurtful words and made her mad, she wouldn’t have mustered up the courage and said it out loud! Until this very day, she could still remember that it was snowing heavily, and the road was covered with more than a foot of snow. There was no way anyone would pass by that road because of the weather and how remote it was! Moreover, her phone and bag were in his car! For a split second, she thought she would freeze to death on the spot. If it weren’t for Toby, she might have died there.

As Amelie recalled such horrible memories, she shut her eyes tightly.

Even when Toby saved her, she was rushed to the hospital from hypothermia shock. The shock had affected her unborn baby, and she almost lost her since her progesterone was shockingly low. It was her will that saved her unborn baby, and for that, she had suffered miserably. This was also why Bria’s immune system was extremely low, and she even had a bloodstream infection when she was born.

When Amelie spoke again, she had regained her composure, and her tone was icy cold. “Since you don’t want your own child, I can only have someone else’s child!” She didn’t feel that it was overboard to humiliate Leo like this since he was the cause of Bria’s suffering!

“Although you hate me for setting up a marriage between us, you still have had your fair share of it, haven’t you, Leo? In what position do you think you are in to act as the victim after getting benefits from it? You are such an impudent and childish person!” Ever since their divorce, Amelie had said many straightforward words to Leo, but never in such a mean and harsh way!

On the other hand, Leo was startled by her scolding and didn’t react for quite some time.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Amelie didn’t want to see him any longer and entered the room. When she turned around, she smirked disdainfully when she saw a figure passing by the corridor. Then, she shut the door loudly.

Just as she entered the room, she heard a scream and looked in the direction where the sound had come from. When she saw the swaying figure by the window, her face turned pale instantly!
