A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 197

Elyse did not seem to hear Amelie as she swiped her fingers furiously across the phone screen.

Elyse’s rude actions upset Amelie greatly, and she involuntarily raised her voice at Elyse. “If you don’t return my phone to me right now, then don’t blame me for being rough with you!”

Elyse abruptly pushed the phone screen into Amelie’s face and pointed fixedly at a phone number displayed on the screen. “I knew it! You were on the phone with Leony earlier! How shameless can you be, Amelie! We are engaged! Why are you still trying to seduce him?”

Amelie was utterly speechless. She never imagined that discussing where to have lunch with Leo would be considered an act of seduction.

“You have misunderstood the situation. I am simply thanking him by treating him to a meal,” she patiently explained. Regardless of the circumstances, Elyse was Leo’s fiancée. She did not wish to be misunderstood and wrongly accused of being a homewrecker.

Elyse snorted with disdain. “Sure. You’re just thanking him by asking him out for a meal today. What about tomorrow? Are you going to thank him by inviting him into your bed tomorrow?”

Those words were extremely harsh.

“Miss Clayton, please watch what you say!” Amelie coldly reprimanded the other party.

Elyse snorted again. “Am I wrong? If I had not checked your phone myself, you could have used the excuse that Leony was the one who initiated contact with you! The evidence is right before us! It’s clear that you are the one who is harassing Leony! How dare you harass him yet prevent me from speaking my mind?”

As she spoke, her chest heaved intensely.

She had been trying to contact Leo over the past few days, but he had stoutly refused to answer her calls. Finally, with no other choice, she decided to visit the hospital to try her luck. She did not expect to overhear Amelie’s conversation over the phone.

At this moment, she was furious. It wasn’t just that Amelie was suspected of seducing Leo. She was even more upset over the fact that Leo would rather answer the calls of his ex-wife, who was kicked out of the house than talk to her! His fiancée!
