Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 193

After arriving, Amelia dragged her feet as she followed behind Simon and Elsie.

Every time he glanced back, Amelia would look at him with tear-filled eyes. This made him feel sorry for her.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little. How about I treat you to a meal?" she offered.

Amelia only had one request, and Simon couldn't bring himself to refuse.

They went to a restaurant she had found online. The prices made her wince, but she gritted her teeth and ordered anyway.

When Elsie returned from the restroom and was about to sit down, Amelia spoke up.

"Ms. Appleton, why don't you head back to the hotel? I'd like to talk to Simon alone. After all, you don't know what happened between us."

Was Elsie being dismissed?

Elsie turned to Simon, but he didn't look at her. Instead, he agreed and said, "You must be tired. Go back and rest."

Nothing was going on between him and Elsie. She had just been pushing herself into his life, but they weren't even a couple.

Elsie suppressed her anger. "Fine. Mrs. Fitzgerald and Sarah are arriving this evening. I'll go pick them up."

Once she left, Amelia immediately ordered a bottle of red wine.
