When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 346 Get Her Attention
Leo didn't actually make plans with Michelle. Melissa called him a few days ago, saying she was in town and wanted to grab a
meal with him. Even though he wasn't close to his mother, he agreed to this basic request and came over.
After arriving at the location but being unable to locate his mother, he called her. However, nobody answered the phone; instead,
someone grabbed his arm. He initially thought it was Melissa, but before he could confirm, many things had happened.
At that moment, Michelle's impulsive actions made his daughter sad, and Amelie's attitude toward him became colder. Due to
that, Leo was beyond furious. His usually serious face was tight and tense. Moreover, he didn't have time to argue with her and
went to chase after his daughter and Amelie.
Since Michelle had embarrassed herself in front of everyone, her perfect expression was about to slip. She soon caught up with
Leo and stood in front of him. "Leo, how can you say we're not familiar with each other? Mrs. Alston invited me to come and
have a blind date with you."
"My mom?" Her words finally made Leo understand. So, my mom's intention is not to have a meal with me, but she has duped
me into a blind date.
"Ha!" He was already disappointed with Melissa. With her actions now, he didn't know what else to say except to be sarcastic.
"Since my mom invited you for a blind date, date her then." He spat out these words coldly and walked away, passing by
Michelle.
On the other hand, she clenched her fists in frustration. How could Leo treat me like this? How could he embarrass me in front of
the staff and guests? My education and family background are even better than Amelie's. Is he blind? He only has eyes for her!
Unlike other women who would hate their love rivals when pursuing men, she hated him at that moment! She wished she could
tear down every bit of his arrogance and humiliate him by stepping on him under her feet!
"It's merely a small matter. No need to be angry." Someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and spoke.
Nevertheless, she instinctively thought it was a staff member, so she forcefully pushed the hand away, saying, "Aren't you
supposed to be working?"
Still, the hand didn't move. Consequently, Michelle stared with wide eyes, and one could tell she was pretty angry with her fiery
gaze.

When she turned to look, she realized that the person in front of her was not a waiter or a diner but rather a complete stranger.
The man had a tall and straight frame, and his facial features were considered top-notch. He looked at her with a half-smile.
Michelle was taken aback and said, "Hello—"
Michelle was taken aback and said, "Hello—"
"I know you're angry and want to give that man who ignored you a taste of his own medicine. I also know you can't do anything
about it, so you can only think about it in your head," the man said, maintaining his half-smile as if he could see through
everything. He had light blue eyes like two bottomless whirlpools, slowly sucking people in.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy, so she rubbed her temples. Nonetheless, she heard the man utter, "I can help you."
...
The following day, Amelie brought Bria to learn ice skating again. When they arrived, they saw a figure in the rink. The man was
tall and conspicuous, slowly gliding while holding onto the railing. Although he wasn't fast, he was steady.
"Is that man also here to learn?" Bria asked, pointing at the man.
Amelie was about to respond when the man turned around, revealing a familiar face. It's Leo! She thought he wouldn't show up
after embarrassing himself so much the other day. Not only did he show up, but he also made noticeable progress.
At that moment, she was stunned and couldn't help but look at Bria.
Nevertheless, Bria also recognized him but turned her face away coldly. She hadn't forgotten about her father hooking up with
Michelle the other day. In addition, she didn't want to associate with him anymore. "Mommy, let's skate over there." Then, she
pointed to the farthest place from him.
On the other hand, Amelie looked at Bria worriedly, wanting to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, Amelie
could only nod and say, "Okay."
Afterward, they arrived at their spot and changed their shoes.
Soon, Leo skated over. "Good morning," he greeted them quietly.
Bria pretended not to hear and pulled her mother into the rink. Then, Amelie politely nodded at him and followed Bria. She
wouldn't mind Leo being with Michelle if she didn't have to consider her daughter's feelings. That way, she wouldn't have to deal

with him.
Later, Amelie took Bria's hand and did warm-up exercises before teaching her simple skating moves. Leo followed them closely,
learning what she taught too. At first, he stayed some distance away from them.
Later, he slowly approached and stood in line with his daughter. When Bria practiced, he practiced too. Bria was slim and agile
and had talent in the sport, so she practiced perfectly. On the other hand, he was noticeably clumsier but tried his hardest.
"Bria, what you saw last night wasn't what you thought it was," he said as he practiced.
Michelle was taken aback and said, "Hello—"
"I know you're angry and want to give that man who ignored you a taste of his own medicine. I also know you can't do anything
about it, so you can only think about it in your head," the man said, maintaining his half-smile as if he could see through
everything. He had light blue eyes like two bottomless whirlpools, slowly sucking people in.
"I was set up on a blind date by your grandmother, but I had no idea about it." He explained the whole thing to her from
beginning to end. Although he only spoke to Bria, his voice was loud enough for Amelie to hear.
However, Bria didn't say anything, but she looked in her mother's direction. Although she might seem young, she was perceptive
and aware of everything around her. Even though she knew her father was talking to her mother, she felt much better inside.
While practicing, Bria intentionally became clumsier and fell to the ground. Nonetheless, Leo was doing worse than his daughter
before, but when she intentionally did poorly, he became comparatively better.
"Yay, Daddy is awesome!" She clapped her hands excitedly while Amelie remained silent.
Soon, he lifted Bria, who had fallen, and twirled her in his arms. It was a pretty cool move. Then, she cheered loudly, giving him a
round of applause.
With a hint of pride, he looked at Amelie like a puppy trying to please its owner. He purposely hid his skills, hoping to impress
and catch her attention.
"Daddy, did you practice for a long time again yesterday?" Bria asked, unintentionally lifting Leo's sleeve and revealing the many
bruises on his elbow.
Hearing that, he affectionately touched her forehead with his and replied, "Yeah."

"Daddy is really amazing!" She gave him another thumbs-up.
Meanwhile, Amelie ignored their interaction, leaving Bria's praise unanswered. However, he felt slightly disappointed as he met
his daughter's gaze.
Seeing that, Bria had no choice but to work harder to get her mother's attention. "Daddy, are you in pain with so many injuries?"
she asked.
"A little bit," Leo replied, pleased with his daughter's quick reaction.
"Then, you need medicine," she spoke loudly.
Amelie still didn't react to their conversation.
Afterward, Bria had to leave Leo's embrace and skate toward Amelie, showing her the knee she had bruised yesterday.
"Mommy, my leg still hurts, and I need medicine," she said.
Amelie naturally didn't refuse Bria's request, so she quickly took medicine from her bag to apply to her daughter's injury.
At that moment, he felt envious and looked at his daughter. His injuries were worse and more painful than Bria's, and he also
wanted medicine. So, he leaned over and revealed the bruises on his arm while checking Bria's injury.
