A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 207

Amelie turned around to see Elyse sitting in a wheelchair with a smile on her face. Someone was pushing her up the hill. Elyse was dressed in a long, white dress that perfectly covered her leg that was in a cast. She had natural-looking makeup on her face that made her seem especially mesmerizing.

Amelie snapped back to reality—as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over her—when she saw Elyse. What’s wrong with me? Leo and Elyse are about to start a new family. Wouldn’t I cause more problems for Leo if I brought up the past? He might have caused me problems by forgetting about me, but what would I gain from causing him problems now?

“You guys should enjoy yourselves.” Amelie excused herself and headed down the hill without any hesitation. Amelie figured that Elyse’s presence would bring her a lot of unnecessary issues, so Amelie decided not to head back with the rest of the group. She hailed a cab for herself instead.

Amelie wheeled Bria over to the side of the road before she used an application on her phone to book a cab. The nursing home was in a rather secluded area, so it was hard for her to get a cab there. She requested one but didn’t get an offer for a long while. Right then, a seven-seater Cayenne pulled up in front of them.

The man inside the car lowered his window to reveal his icy face. “Get in,” the familiar-looking man said to Amelie. She let out a scoff when she saw who it was. “It’s fine.” She rejected him in a polite tone. Leo knitted his brows together upon hearing her words.

“There’s no need to be polite with us, Miss Dillon. Let’s head off together.” Another person stuck her head out of the car window in the back. It was Elyse, and she was wearing a huge and innocent-looking smile on her face. If Amelie hadn’t seen Elyse’s true colors, she might have thought that Elyse was genuinely a nice person.

her best to keep herself invisible throughout the car ride. Bria didn’t seem to be in a good mood either—she kept quiet throughout the whole ride, with her hands clinging onto her mother’s arms and her head buried in her mother’s chest. Bria pouted

between herself and Amelie. This was one of Bria’s signature moves—she often did this when she was feeling down or insecure.
