A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 95 Leo Shows Concern for Amelie
That person was none other than Leo.
After noticing Leo, Amelie was alarmed and strode over. “Mr. Alston, what are you doing here?”
She stood before Leo and blocked his way. “I’m the one Miss Clayton hates, so just come at me!”
Leo moved his gaze away from Bria and onto Amelie.
Though his gaze lightly grazed Amelie, his expression looked serious.
“The words you said just now. What do they mean?” he asked.
Confused by his sudden question, Amelie stared at him.
“Why did you say the blood was deliberately contaminated? What actually happened when you gave birth to Bria?”
Amelie was speechless and couldn’t help but look at the sky.
Did the sun rise from the west? Or did a pig just fly? Why is Leo suddenly concerned about this?
The mention of this matter was like stuffing chilies down Amelie’s throat. She felt suffocated, in pain, and aggrieved.
Three years had passed, but it still pained her whenever she remembered it.
“Julia was speaking nonsense. It’s nothing,” she replied calmly.
He didn’t care when she wanted him to, so now she was reluctant to evoke his sympathy through this matter.
On the other hand, Leo was shocked because he thought she would blurt everything out and start complaining when he asked her about it.
Not expecting to receive such an answer, he turned around and observed her.
She looked calm and spoke faintly as if it was just a joke, but he could see that she was obviously hiding something deep inside.
He might have doubted her if she had made a long complaint, but her reluctance to talk about it made him even more curious.
Moreover, he felt an inexplicable tug on his heart when he saw the dark circles under her eyes.

“Mr. Alston.” Amelie looked straight at Leo. Those eyes that were previously filled with affection were now clear and without emotion. “The grudge between Elyse and me ends here. Tell her that as long as she stops bothering me, the past will remain in the past.”
She still hated Elyse, but she agreed to divorce mainly to ensure the happiness and freedom of herself and those around her.
Too many grudges might implicate the people beside her, and she didn’t want that.
After saying that, she didn’t feel like talking with Leo anymore and left to find Bria.
Right after she took a step, she heard Leo’s voice from behind her. “Aren’t you going to explain your relationship with the owner of Starlight Media?”
Amelie stopped walking and stood in place.
It took her quite a while to turn her head around. She asked, “What’s there to explain? I don’t see a need to report to you about our private life.”
“Jodie said you have never interacted with him,” he reminded her.
Tilting her head to the side, she said, “So?”
“Bria is my child, am I right?”
When he said that, Amelie froze.
Shock flashed across her eyes as she wasn’t expecting him to mention Bria or make such a guess.
“Have you forgotten about the DNA test you did before?” She quickly calmed down and replied casually.
Leo’s gaze suddenly turned gloomy.
This time, he spoke with the sharpest tone he had ever used.
“Amelie, I dare you to let me do another DNA test with Bria.”
Amelie found it hard to meet his eyes because his gaze was so shrewd that it could pierce through any protection.
Then, she saw him slightly tilting his head, indicating his confidence.
Her mind instantly went blank for a moment.
It took her quite some time to regain her composure. “Why humiliate yourself by probing into a proven matter?”
Leo didn’t answer and seemed to be figuring out how truthful she was.
“Even if it means humiliating myself, I still need a definite answer.” After he said that, he walked toward Bria.
Amelie’s instinct kicked in as she pulled him back. “Leo, Bria is not your child! Jodie’s words are only speculations without any evidence!”
While looking at her, Leo argued, “Let’s say Jodie is speculating, what about you and that man? During these past few years, that man did so much for you two and showed how much he cared for you, but he has never shown his face in public. Don’t you think people will find that strange? Also, we’re already divorced, so why hasn’t he married you? Why doesn’t he accompany you whenever you bring Bria out? You can treat everyone as fools, but you should know that you can’t hide the truth forever!”
Amelie was rendered speechless. She never thought of Leo as a fool, but she was hoping that he would focus all his attention on Elyse and not pay any attention to her and Bria.
In the end, she was wrong.
After Leo finished, he walked past her and went over to Bria, wanting to pick her up.
Pushing his hand away, Amelie hid Bria behind her and taunted, “You want to know who the owner of Starlight Media is? Here, I’ll show you!”
Amelie then found a photo and showed it to Leo.
Inside the photo was a gentle-looking man with thin-rimmed glasses, looking elegant and clean.
More importantly, that man looked very similar to Bria.
“Also, here’s a photo of us together.” Amelie showed him another photo. “We keep a low profile because we don’t want any attention. It doesn’t mean I’m faking our relationship.”
Leo’s dark eyes were fixed on those photos.
That man had taken several pictures with Amelie and Bria.
