Chapter 270
Amelie was stunned yet again as emotions flowed from within her gaze. Turning around, she coughed
lightly. "Blakey, it doesn't matter if I go back or not. What matters is that I hope this segment can inspire
you. You're not young anymore. It's time to go out and find your significant other. An ideal man like you
should be able to find a pure person like you and close to your age fairly quickly."
She had stated everything as clearly as she could.
That disappointed Blake greatly, making him feel like he had liis soul sucked out.
Taking a step toward him, she placed her hands on liis shoulders. "I'm an only child, so I view you as
my little brother. Blakey, you're an irreplaceable existence to me. You're family for life, just like my
father and Bria. We'll always be family."
He silently looked up at her. At that moment, her serious expression, pursed lips, and straight gaze told
him that she was being sincere. Although he wanted to be with her, she treated him as her brother...
Makes sense. She's an exceptional woman. Even if I pour my heart and soul, I think I'll only amount to
being a figure-skating champion.
Countless disappointments and pensiveness welled up within Blake, yet he could only keep them in. for
he did not want to lose her even if it meant that he would stay by her side as her 'brother'.
"Alright." He nodded. "I understand, Amelie."
This time, he felt pain when calling her name, but he did it with a smile, which had a sense of sadness
from Amelie's point of view. This boy...
"If so. then how about we 'siblings' go back to the shoot? This is my first time joining a variety show, so
I don't know much about anything. If you don't go with me, I'll get nervous," he stated sincerely with a
pitiful look, making it unable to refuse him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn top of that, Amelie was worried that something might happen to him during the shoot. Since he still
had a few upcoming competitions to take part in, nothing was allowed to go wrong. It'll be better for me
to take care of him if I tag along.
With that thought in mind, she nodded. "Sure."
They went through the ceremony with Blake receiving liis award before celebrating over a meal. Then,
night fell, and liis manager came to pick them up. Finally, the two bid then* farewells.
While walking to her car. Amelie was sorting through the pictures on her phone when she found that
they were all images of him during competitions.
After Bria knew that she would be seeing Blake compete, she strongly requested for her mother to take
pictures. Understanding that her daughter was a die-hard fan, Amelie captured more than a hundred
photos. Blake sure is handsome. Any picture I select of him is as captivating as the last one.
After deleting some of the pictures, she saved the rest, planning to let Bria see them when she returned
home. Yet, just as she put her phone into her bag, she could feel it vibrating from inside.
Due to the number of affairs lately, she had been inundated with work, meaning that even though tliis
was after hours, she did not dare to miss any calls. Hence, she answered the phone.
"Hello, tliis is Serenity Bar. Your friend is drunk. Could you come and pick them up?" the caller asked.
"My friend?" Amelie was stunned.
She had two phone numbers: looking at the caller, she found that the person called her 'Foxy' number.
Not a lot of people knew about tliis number, excluding the staff from 'Show Your Love', so the only
person who knew was Julia. Could she be drunk?
Every time Julia got drunk, it was because of Samuel, so she would not call him to pick her up. Fearing
that something might happen, Amelie did not ask much as she told the person to look after her friend
for a bit. Then, she hung up and ran to her car.
Throwing the phone into her bag, she quickly started her ignition and drove at breakneck speed to the
bar. Serenity Bar, just like its name, was located a distance away. She kept driving until the name of the
bar popped up in a secluded area.
Although the place was especially remote, it looked fairly swanky as she got out and walked into the
bar. There were merely a few people in it with some employees in black uniforms and a janitor, who
was wearing a black cap. After Amelie asked one of the staff, she was brought to a private room.
"The customer is inside." The waiter who led her was quite young.
Nodding. Amelie opened the door and found no signs of Julia but a man, who had his face covered,
showing only liis dark hair. The dim lights reflected a platinum accessoiy on his arm. With liis sleeves
half rolled up. she noticed the watch on liis wrist. Where have I seen that watch...
The next moment, the man's hand slid down from liis face, revealing his sharp features. Even when he
was drunk, he still looked as stem as ever.
It's... Leo?! So, the person that got drunk wasn't Julia?
"Wait!" Amelie called out to the female waiter. "Pardon, but are there any women who got drunk here?"
The waiter shot a weird gaze at her. "The only person who got drunk tonight was tliis mister."
It isn't Julia! Amelie swept her hair back, speechless. I think the waiter must have misunderstood
everything. After all, shouldn't Elyse be the person Leo wants to call?
"I'm sony, but I don't know him that well." Not wanting anything to do with Leo. she attempted to leave.
However, the waiter panicked and stopped her upon seeing that. "But he insisted that I call tliis
number."
Amelie glanced at Leo, who was in a drunken stupor. I think he drank too much and just gave out a
random number.
"Our bar is different from others. We close at 11.00PM. and it's already 10.40PM. If you don't cany him
away, then nobody will be taking care of him tonight." The waiter kept looking at her watch. "I have
something urgent, so I can't stay behind and take care ofliim."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter stating that, the waiter ran out in a hurry, looking as if she feared Amelie might continue pestering
her.
The speechless Amelie swept back her hair again as defeat took over her face. She's still Bria's father,
so I can't just leave him be.
After some thought, she fished out her phone and dialed Elyse's number.
" What?" Elyse answered stiffly as if she was reluctant to pick up the call.
"It's Amelie," she stated who she was. "Leo's drunk. I'm at—"
Before she could say the name of the bar. her phone was suddenly swept away. Perplexed, she was
suddenly embraced by someone from behind.
"No phone calls!" The man's erratic breath came from beside her ear.
A strong smell of alcohol immediately attacked her nose, followed by a sound against the floor.
Thud!
It turned out that Leo threw her phone onto the caipet. which greatly stunned Amelie.
"Why did you give me up to another woman?"
She did not even have the chance to speak when he uttered that. Once again, he wrapped her into liis
arms.
What does he mean by giving him up to another woman? Isn't Elyse the one he likes?
Not having the leisure to talk, Amelie kept attempting to piy his arms apart. Yet, he was behaving like a
stubborn child and held on tightly while liis lips lightly pressed against her ears as if they were looking
for something.
That persisted with liis alcoholic scent enveloping her nose, making Amelie feel strange. As someone
who had never been so close to any man before, she felt utterly uncomfortable, yet she could not
overcome liis strength. Despite struggling for a while, her effort was futile. Instead, she got herself all
sweaty after the attempt.
It was then he suddenly fell backward, causing her to plop onto the couch along with him. Stunned by
the impact, she felt her brain going blank, but it was also that moment when he turned around and
pinned her down...
