Chapter 74

A voice cut Amelie off before she could finish her sentence.

Elyse ran down from the car and took Leo by the hand in front of Amelie. “I don’t feel well. I want to go home.”

She pressed her lips into a peut and spoke softly.

There was a trace of dejection in her eyes as she stared at Leo with the look of someone trying her best to hide her emotions.

Her goddess persona was eye-catching enough, but the look of a goddess who was trying to maintain her composure was even more striking to the soul.

Furthermore, she had just lost to Amelie, and it didn’t help that it had been such a mortifying loss too.

With how she looked now, even someone with a heart of steel would feel bad for her.

Amelie could see Leo’s cold, icy expression softening almost immediately.

His eyes which were piercing and accusatory earlier also turned warm at the sight of her.

Not a single trace of his piercing gaze remained.

It had all been replaced by undisguised gentleness.

“Okay,” he said.

Amelie could hear how sweet and loving his voice was.

Once again, she realized the stark difference love made.

Thankfully, she had long since come to terms with reality and removed every trace of her love for him.

Otherwise, what she witnessed today would only break her heart again.

By now, she felt there was no point in saying the things she wanted to say earlier.

She smiled faintly and walked away.

Julia wasn’t back yet. So, Amelie decided to wait in the car.

As Leo went to get his car, Elyse ran over to Amelie.

She pressed her hands on the door. Her delicate face was visibly anxious as she blurted, “You’d better not spew any nonsense in front of Leo!”

“Or… What?” Amelie turned to her with an indifferent smile.

Her provocative tone and expression came across as silent mockery in Elyse’s eyes!

Amelie was clearly mocking her for having the gall to do what she did but not the courage to admit to her

schemes!

Elyse’s nails bit into her palms. It felt as if someone had stabbed a needle into her heart.

She felt utterly discomfited, but there was not a hint of guilt in her eyes!
