A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 63

“Oh, ew. I don’t particularly like watching animals make out.” Julia leaned on the wall, her arms crossed. She was looking at the couple in disgust. Julia had that kind of look that could strike anxiety into those who met her eyes. It felt like she could see through the deepest, darkest secrets of anyone she looked at.

Elyse stiffly removed herself from Leo’s embrace. She elegantly pushed her hair back and shot Julia a look of disapproval. “Miss White, that was inappropriate, especially for someone of your stature.”

Oh, here we go again. This b*tch never leams her lesson. Julia sneered. “The adage goes ‘honesty is the best policy’, not ‘honesty is inappropriate.”

“You called us animals. We’re not animals, Miss White,” Elyse argued.

“But all I see are animals.” Julia looked around and sneered. “It takes a lot more than mere clothes to make a human. Oh wait, I shouldn’t have called you animals. That’s an insult to them. At least they’re loyal to their humans. Some men won’t stay loyal to their own woman. They’d rather date a skank instead.”

Nobody but Julia would say something insulting, yet she managed to make it sound pleasant rather than vulgar.

Leo had kept quiet this whole time, but now he finally spoke. “What are you trying to say?” He raised his head, but his gaze was not on Julia. He was looking at someone behind Julia.

It was none other than the returning Amelie. I leave Julia for two seconds and she’s gone. Darn. She’s already unhappy about my divorce. Now she knows Leo is here, I bet she’s going to trash-talk him. She quickly went to look for her friend, and just like she expected, Julia was insulting Leo.

Amelie heard her insulting Leo and Elyse, and it made her feel helpless. She was about to drag her friend away when Leo opened his mouth, so she locked eyes with him.
