A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 54

Chapter 53 Chatting in Bed, Naked? Could You Believe That?
Since Lily referred to Amelie as ‘Elie’, it sounded similar to ‘Ely’, so Leo didn’t notice anything wrong about what she said.
“Speaking of that girl, she really coddled you by coaxing and pampering you. One time when the nurse accidentally knocked on your head, she was so upset about it that she cried. That silly girl had come looking for me multiple times, asking me whether I can treat your eye. She even told me that she would give you her cornea if we couldn’t get a suitable one for you.”
“I told her that it’s a risky procedure to extract the cornea from a living human as it might lead to blindness or even death. She wasn’t bothered by it, and when she knew that she couldn’t do a test in our hospital, she asked me where she could do it. How silly is that child? After that, I found out that she did those just so you could get your eyesight back and go home, as she was worried that your family had abandoned you because you were blind.”
After speaking of the past, Lily stopped talking and walked away when she noticed that there wasn’t a reaction from Leo. She could tell that something might be off. Leo, however, was quiet as he remained on his spot.
After Amelie left the hospital, she decided to go to her house to do some cleaning since she didn’t have any other plans. Regardless of whether she was going to stay in the house or not in the future, she thought that she should cherish it as her parents were the ones who built it. Apparently, Abby didn’t take good care of the house because some of the spots were covered in mold, and the walls were chipped.
Seeing that made Amelie’s heart break, and she thought of engaging a team of renovators after two days to refurbish it. It took her an hour to clean up the interior of the house. As she got out of the house with the garbage bag, a slim figure caught her attention. It was a woman’s figure which looked slender and graceful. Amelie could tell that she was a beautiful woman just by looking at it. She couldn’t help but look up and see a stunning yet familiar face. She frowned upon seeing her. What a horrible fate! Why would I bump into someone whom I least wanted to three times in the same day?

Elyse was looking at Amelie from not too far away. Amelie, who had done a round of cleaning, naturally looked sloppy, with her messy hair and sweat-covered forehead. However, her eyes shone bright like stars. Elyse looked away displeasedly, and the natural sense of superiority that she possessed made her lift her head high like a swan, and it made her look taller than Amelie. Amelie didn’t want to see her at all, so she left without greeting her.
“Miss Dillon, why not hand over Bria’s custody rights?” Elyse turned her body slightly and demanded without even greeting her.
“Miss Clayton, are you confused or something? Why would I hand over Bria’s custody rights?” Amelie paused her footsteps and looked at Elyse.
Not only did Elyse not get mad after hearing what Amelie said, but she also covered her mouth with her hand as she smiled. “Leo and I will be getting married soon, so her daughter will naturally be my daughter. Moreover, it might be challenging for you to raise a child since you seem to have broken up with the owner of Starlight Media. As a mother, I’m sure you’d want the best for your child. Leaving her in the care of the Alston Family is the best for her, isn’t it?”
“If you send Bria to the Alston Family, you’ll have a chance at finding your happiness too. I see that the man before this was pretty decent. He must be quite financially stable too. Instead of keeping your child with you and keeping constant contact with your ex-husband, you should be married off to a good man and get a taste of what happiness is like.”
As Amelie listened to her sarcastic remarks, she finally understood something. “Are you suspecting that the reason I took Bria with me was just so that I could keep in touch with Leo?”
“Isn’t it so?” Elyse smiled. She was grinning, but her eyes were filled with anger.
“Miss Clayton, a few years back, you had intervened in our relationship and ruined it. It had caused Leo and I to be separated from each other for the last four years. I didn’t care about these, but I am willing to give you a chance to be happy. I believe that I’m already being very generous.”
Elyse’s shamelessness had triggered Amelie, and Amelie had decided to speak her mind since there was no reason to hide them anymore!
“Miss Clayton, the way you speak might give other people who aren’t aware of it the impression that you are the victim. Are you sure that I was the one who came between both of you?!”
“Was I wrong?” Elyse seemed unfazed by Amelie and refuted, “To be honest, there was nothing between me and that man, and our relationship could be easily explained. It was because of your involvement that things started getting awkward, and I could only let you have Leo while I endured the pain of losing him.”
