A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 164

Ashton had no idea what was in Elyse’s mind at that moment as he hugged her tenderly in his arms.

After leaning onto him softly, she started sobbing while hugging him. At the same time, he gently patted her back to comfort her.

With something on her mind, she didn’t dare to cry for too long. So, she stopped crying after about 10 minutes.

“Have some water.” Although he had never served anyone before, he still clumsily poured some water for her.

Without stopping her snivel, she lowered her head and took the glass. From time to time, she would rub her eyes, making them red and swollen.

When he saw her red and swollen eyes, he felt sorry for her. “Why did you tell Leo about this? He’ll just be suspicious at best. So, as long as you firmly deny it, he can’t do anything to you.” Elyse had told him this herself, so he couldn’t understand how she could make this mistake.

As she took a deep breath, a contemptuous feeling for Ashton arose. He’s really stupid, indeed! How can he not understand such simple logic? Yet, she still spoke politely. “Although I pretended to be Big Eyes because I cared too much about Leo, it’s still unethical. I simply couldn’t get over my conscience. So, I feel better after telling him. Moreover, even if I didn’t tell him, he could investigate it himself, too. Do you want me to wait until he finds out everything and then expose me? I don’t want that!”

When he heard that, Ashton gritted his teeth. Although he wasn’t smart, he understood what she meant. Being exposed after Leo found out himself would be 100 times more embarrassing than admitting it herself. Yet, he still felt bad, so he kicked the leg of a chair. “It’s all Leo’s fault. He’s the one who made you feel wronged and humiliated. He should take responsibility! How dare he even mention breaking up?! He should be marrying

you!”

At this moment, Elyse secretly scoffed in her mind. This man only knows what etiquette, integrity, justice, and fairness mean when talking about others. He has also done so many things and played so many women. He’s

far worse than Leo.

Not only was he incapable, but he was also frivolous and liked to stand on moral high ground to criticize others, thinking that he was always right. This was also the main reason why she wasn’t willing to bother him when he clearly cared more about her than Leo.

Suddenly, she feigned a sigh and said, “Clearly, I’m not worthy of him, so I don’t blame him for not marrying me. What I’m worried about now is that, with his personality, he’ll definitely try to find out who Big Eyes is. Given our relationship, we’ll have to meet every day. If he brings Big Eyes back, isn’t that going to humiliate me to death?” As she spoke, tears rolled down her face again.
