A Matter of Wife and Love

Amelie thought he would do something, but instead, he went past her and left. Huh. For some reason, he’s been acting weird since last night?

“Can we leave now?”

Amelie looked at the girl in a white dress, and she realized why he was in a hurry to leave. Oh, he’s trying not to make that girl suspect anything. The girl met Amelie’s gaze, and then she smiled. Then she left with Leo by her side.

Vaguely, Amelie heard her say, “Your mother is quite the welcoming host. I do hope we get to see each other more.”

So that’s the new girl Melissa got for him? I can see she’s from a good family, what with her wearing expensive clothes. Guess Melissa got what she wanted. But what about Leo? Why did he dump Elyse all of a sudden? I thought he listened to her. Thought he was nice to her. Nice enough to be the Leo I didn’t know.

Amelie entered the garage and met Leo again. He was leaning on his black Cayenne, looking like someone from a beautiful poster of a movie. In case he got angry again, Amelie nodded at him politely and moved to her car.

But just before she could enter the car, Leo asked coolly, “You just told everyone we’re a couple. If we go our own ways now, someone might notice it and take a picture. You’d have a lot to explain about then.”

Oh, right. Blake’s fans are crazy. They might be hiding somewhere. Gotta be careful. She heaved a sigh and turned to Leo’s car instead. “Guess I’ll need your help then, Mr. Alston.”

Alston entered his car and slammed the door shut, saying nothing.

Amelie would rather not talk to someone who would only give her the cold shoulder, but she had no choice. In the end, she got into the backseat, but the girl from earlier was nowhere to be found. Off to buy something, perhaps? Amelie thought. Since Leo wasn’t driving, she thought she had a correct guess.

her again. Oh, there’s a bag here. Hm, that’s the bag that girl was holding. Curious, she sneaked a peek at the content and saw a few beautiful bottles in it. On a closer look, she realized those bottles were salves for wounds and scars. Oh, so she was trying to appease him? How nice. I guess they’ve been
