A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 91

Chapter 90 She’s the One I Want to Protect
Amelie turned around and looked at Leo, puzzled.
“Can I help you with something, Mr. Alston?” She had to ask after a long silence.
Hearing that, he let go of her, his gaze blurry.
“What were you trying to do by asking Jodie to expose Elyse?”
Ah, so Jodie went ahead with it? Amelie mused.
She wasn’t surprised that Jodie would go pick a fight with Elyse, but what she was surprised about was that Leo would come to her.
“I was the one who ignored you from the start. I’ve said it again and again. Come at me if you’re displeased about something. Don’t involve anyone unrelated. Why won’t you listen to me?”
His tone as he continued speaking was filled with rage, impatience, as well as his disgust toward her.
Amelie felt like she had suddenly understood a lot of things when she heard this.
Even if Jodie had exposed the truth about Elyse’s faking an eye problem, Leo would still choose Elyse.
Will he still think she’s the best when she kills someone one day?
“Aren’t you shameless to think that I would waste time to be displeased with you? And even if I’m upset about something, we’re already divorced! There’s nothing between us anymore. I’m not that petty to still let it affect me!” she sneered.
Her eyes were chilling as if she had no regard for him.
His dark eyes were fixed on her.
He had heard her say such words one too many times after the divorce, but there was no way he would believe her when she always did the opposite as she promised.
Amelie knew Leo too well to easily know what he was thinking from the slight change of expression.
Sadness immediately washed over her when she saw the look on his face.
People who didn’t mean what he said would always think that others were as untrustworthy as them; that was the kind of person Leo was.
“Yes, I am trying to pick a bone with her, but it’s all because of my grudge between me and her. Mr. Alston, please don’t think too highly of yourself or look too deeply into it. It’s between me and her. It has nothing to do with you!”

Amelie exposing Elyse couldn’t even count as revenge.
She only did what she did because she refused to have Elyse take credit for her effort.
Amelie’s expression was cold, and her eyes were even colder.
Her eyes which used to be filled with stars when she looked at him now had no place for him.
Leo didn’t know why, but his chest tightened painfully when he saw her indifferent and alienated gaze.
He was suddenly curious. “What grudge do you and Elyse have?”
She scoffed, “What grudge, you ask?”
There are too many to mention…
She began to recall certain things that happened in the past.
The corners of her mouth curled upward, and she opened her mouth to finally reveal the truth. “She and I—”
Leo’s phone went off right then.
He took the call, and after he listened for a bit, his frown deepened. “I’m on my way!”
He then hung up his phone.
Amelie only peered at him.
Even though she wasn’t sure what the caller said or who the caller was, she knew for sure that Elyse was the one person Leo would get so worried about.
He would even come all the way here to interrogate Amelie because of Elyse.
It was also because of Elyse that he was now rushing back.
She must have been born under a lucky star.
“I don’t care about what’s the issue between you and Elyse. She is my woman now, and I will protect her!” Obviously not in the mood to listen to her, he threw that out indifferently before he jumped in his car and drove off.
Amelie sneered under her breath as she watched the car drive into the distance.
Somehow, her laughter soon turned into big beads of tears that rolled down her cheeks.
She said before that she wouldn’t shed another tear for Leo.
Still, it hurt to hear him wanting to protect Elyse without a bottom line.
His words had thoroughly trampled all over her. It was as though everything she did for him was nothing but a joke!
She had no qualms about going blind to help him, but she ended up becoming his enemy.
What else could this be, if this weren’t a joke?
…
Elyse was no happier when Amelie was heartbroken.
She was currently lying on the bed with her eyes closed, sadness written all over her beautiful face.
Seeing this, Laura sat beside her helplessly and caressed her forehead again and again. “Didn’t it all work out well? Why are you still sad? Look, Mr. Alston is rushing over here as soon as I called him. He is acting just like he was before by prioritizing you. It’s good news!”
“You don’t understand,” Elyse whispered.
No one truly understood her.
The more Leo worried about her, the more she felt like she was a thief who stole and enjoyed the fruit of someone else’s labor.
A woman as dignified as herself had ended up becoming a thief.
There was no way someone of her pride and ego could accept this!
