A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 176

Amelie also noticed the couple. I can’t believe how had my luck has been today. Why are the odds of running into Leo and Elyse so high? After a few days in detention, she appears to have shed some pounds. Her once-glowing face now shows signs of haggardness, and she gives off an air of pathetic desperation. Leo, who claimed a few days ago to be seeking justice, is now walking alongside her. They appear very when she wraps her arm around his and leans on him affectionately.

On the other hand, Leo noticed Amelie and Julia. When they exchanged glances, he could not help but look at Amelie, but her expression of indifference caused him to frown.

“Hey, aren’t you the famous Mr. Alston?” Julia, on the contrary, did not choose to turn a blind eye as Amelie did, and she stopped him.

Then, she shot a sharp gaze at him before looking down at their linked arms. “Ilah! Are you two getting married soon?” she snickered.

Nonetheless, Leo said nothing as Elyse leaned on his arm again and later rested her head on his shoulder as if declaring her possession.

Following that, she gave Leo a gentle squeeze on the arm, looked at him with a pitiful expression, and at the same time, tears began to form in her eyes.

The sight of her behavior made Julia feel sick to her stomach. Since she had always had a sharp tongue, there was no way she would let go of that opportunity. Folding her arms in front of her chest, she used her fingers to prop her chin up. In a playful tone, she mocked, “I realize you have quite a kink, Mr. Alston. You seem to like women who treat you as a fool and treat your daughter like a toy. Does that prove that all men are cheap?”

slowly crossed the line with her remarks, causing tears to pool in Elyse’s eyes. While her eyes welled up with tears, not a single drop trickled down her cheek. She appeared pitiful and victimized, with her head bowed, and shoulders stooped. Her act
