A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Amelie was stunned yet again as emotions flowed from within her gaze. Turning around, she coughed lightly. “Blakey, it doesn’t matter if I go back or not. What matters is that I hope this segment can inspire you. You’re not young anymore. It’s time to go out and find your significant other. An ideal man like you should be able to find a pure person like you and close to your age fairly quickly.”

She had stated everything as clearly as she could.

That disappointed Blake greatly, making him feel like he had his soul sucked out.

Taking a step toward him, she placed her hands on his shoulders. “I’m an only child, so I view you as my little brother. Blakey, you’re an irreplaceable existence to me. You’re family for life, just like my father and Bria. We’ll always be family.”

He silently looked up at her. At that moment, her serious expression, pursed lips, and straight gaze told him that she was being sincere. Although he wanted to be with her, she treated him as her brother… Makes sense. She’s an exceptional woman. Even if I pour my heart and soul, I think I’ll only amount to being a figure-skating champion.

Countless disappointments and pensiveness welled up within Blake, yet he could only keep them in, for he did not want to lose her even if it meant that he would stay by her side as her ‘brother’.

“Alright.” He nodded. “I understand, Amelie.”

This time, he felt pain when calling her name, but he did it with a smile, which had a sense of sadness from Amelie’s point of view. This boy…

“If so, then how about we ‘siblings’ go back to the shoot? This is my first time joining a variety show, so I don’t know much about anything. If you don’t go with me, I’ll get nervous,” he stated sincerely with a pitiful look, making it unable to refuse him.

On top of that, Amelie was worried that something might happen to him during the shoot. Since he still had a few upcoming competitions to take part in, nothing was allowed to go wrong. It’ll be better for me to take care of him if I tag along.

With that thought in mind, she nodded. “Sure.”

They went through the ceremony with Blake receiving his award before celebrating over a meal. Then, night fell, and his manager came to pick them up. Finally, the two bid their farewells.

While walking to her car, Amelie was sorting through the pictures on her phone when she found that they were all images of him during competitions.
