When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Amelie looked at Toby in surprise. Even if she lived here, it wouldn’t be evidence enough to prove that

she was Foxy

How on earth did he come to that conclusion?

Toby seemed to have read her thoughts as he explained, “Your voice is the exact same as Foxy’s, and

both of you also have a child.”

Amelie gave a soft ‘oh’.

Even though Toby was Leo’s friend, he wasn’t full of enmity toward her like Ashton was. She always had

a decent impression of him.

“Yes, I am Foxy herself.” She had never concealed it on purpose before, as she admitted to it right away.

*Just as expected.” Toby smiled with an unknown meaning.

Early on, he had already felt that Foxy looked like Amelie, but no one believed him.

“If that’s so, Leo just lost a precious piece of treasure, didn’t he?”

Amelie didn’t want to mention Leo too much. “What brings you here, Mr. Walsh?” she asked, intending to

avoid the topic of Leo.

Toby waved his phone. “I’m the person who sent you a private message yesterday”

“It was you?” Amelie was surprised once again. “Didn’t you say that you’ll come tomorrow?”

“If I came tomorrow, I probably wouldn’t learn the secret that you’re Foxy herself, he jokingly commented.

Amelie slightly lowered her head, pushing her hair behind her ear as she stayed silent, for she truly had

no plans of appearing as Foxy.

Most live streamers didn’t want to expose too much of their real lives; it would be too risky and prone to

trouble

“So, you’re thinking of learning my father’s shoe-making craft? Is that right, Mr. Walsh?” She didn’t quite

believe it was his true intention.

Toby smiled as he stayed silent. To be honest, even if he once had familiar guesses, he was still shaken

after confirming that Amelie was Foxy.

“You’re so talented. Even if you didn’t marry Leo, you could definitely live a decent life. Why did you

choose him?” His gaze was straightforward.

Amelie smiled slightly. Actually, she knew that even Toby thought that she got together with Leo just for

the money

“Why?” Her tone was nonchalant.

When she was 15, she accidentally learned that her mother had passed away while giving birth to her.

Like any human being would, she was heartbroken after learning about the fact.

She didn’t want to go home and cry out her feelings to her father, so she secretly went to the hospital in

town because that was where her late mother passed away.

Despite all the years under her belt, she didn’t even know where her mother’s grave was, so she would

go to the hospital every time she missed her mother.

She was sullenly sobbing as she sat in the hospital gardens, feeling like she was a sinner and had no

right to go home and see her father.

Just then, she suddenly heard a boy roaring.

Despair, helplessness, fury, and even self-abandonment were apparent in his voice.

Startled, she thought she had met a madman. As she was about to escape, she realized it was a boy

about her age. The boy was lean and pale, but it didn’t affect his good looks.

It wasn’t a scene that could be put into words easily. A clean and prince-like boy was roaring in despair,

perhaps? His pain spilled forth from his throat, so suppressive that even Amelie was affected.

In all her years living in the small town, it was her first time seeing such a charming human. It was also

her first time feeling the boy’s despair and helplessness.

Like a madman, he ran into everything and tore out anything that would give way, as if he was bent on

destroying the world!

In the end, he ran toward her, frightening her greatly.

She thought he was going to harm her, but he ran into a sharp-cornered door-in front of her, his arm

bleeding from the impact.

He fell to the ground and grabbed a rock on the ground. He gripped it so tightly, as if he were trying to

grasp his own fate!

She was so startled that she dared not move for a long while. After some time, she realized that he

couldn’t

see.

Seeing him like that, she forgot her own sorrow as she tentatively touched him, then helped him up.

The boy refused her touch and told her to get lost!

She had never been treated like that before, so she actually ran away.

However, when she ran to the door, she doubled back, realizing she didn’t have the heart to leave him all

alone. After going back to him, she held her breath, not daring to exhale too loudly.

She stayed like that until the nurse who took care of him led him away. From that day onward, the boy’s

sorrowful and despairing form was etched into her brain, and she began to visit the hospital every day.

After that, she found a chance to strike up a conversation with him, and they chatted. She knew of his

tragic fate, and she also told him about her sinner-like life.

Two half-grown adults had silently developed deep feelings for each other in the midst of their common

tragedies.

And then…

Amelie stopped recalling at that point, nor did she answer Toby’s question. “Now that I think about it, I

should thank you. If it weren’t for you, Bria and I would be in great danger,” she announced out of

nowhere.

He had saved their lives twice, so they were greatly indebted to him.

Toby lowered his head, a half-smile on his face.

His long finger pressed lightly on the tip of his nose. “What if I ask you to do something in return for

saving your life?
