A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 65

Chris dug his ear nonchalantly and tilted his head. “Dash might show up. I’ve asked Julia to call her. It’d be awesome if she could make it.”

Boreas and Dash were famous names known only to the fans of racing. They were the top racers around. Chris was Boreas, while Dash’s real identity was still a mystery.

Elyse didn’t care about Dash that much. With or without her, Elyse knew she could still take second place at least. She did practice her skills all these years. Of course, Chris would take first place since he had the advantage Guys were generally better than girls in this area. I bet Leo will think better of me if he sees me getting second place. She wanted to show herself off to him. “Leo, can we go? Pretty please.” She swung his arm again.

Leo pursed his lips and looked at her. “Are you sure your eyes can take it?”

“Oh…” Shoot. I just got my eyes checked, and the doctor practically told him I was blind in one eye. She felt rivulets of sweat drenching her back, and her legs almost buckled for a moment. However, fortunately, her mental fortitude held firm, and she recomposed herself. “It’s alright. I’m used to it.”

“Very well, then.” He nodded. He was reluctant to join, but Elyse had done so much for him, so he figured it was only right of him to spoil her for a bit.

Elyse was filled with delight when he relented to her nearly unreasonable request. He showered her with love right in front of Chris, and that stroked her ego. She stood on tiptoe and tried to kiss his cheek. “Thank you, Leo.”

Almost instinctively, Leo stepped aside, though it wasn’t an obvious dodge. There was barely an inch between them. Most people would have missed that gap and thought they had kissed.

However, Elyse was well aware of whether her kiss had landed on his cheek or not. She froze up awkwardly, though she quickly hid her disappointment and put on a coy smile.

Standing by the side, Chris had also seen what had truly transpired. He pursed his lips as he pressed his thumb against the corner of his lips thoughtfully before saying, “Miss Clayton, if one has to request to get the one whom they love to participate in an event, doesn’t that speak something about their significance to the other person? And if the other person were to refuse, then all the more embarrassing it would be for them, don’t you think?”
