A Matter of Wife and Love

She quickly took out her phone and tapped her fingers on the screen to text Ashton.

At the same time, Chris approached Amelie’s car and asked cautiously, “Amelie, would you like to join the next Speedway Race?”

Dash hadn’t competed in major competitions in a long time and as a result, all racing competitions were becoming increasingly lifeless.

As such, Chris genuinely wanted the other racers to be able to witness and relive Dash’s capabilities, just like what he did today.

The Speedway Race was the country’s greatest and largest racing competition which would be held not long after.

Faced with Chris’ invitation, she tossed her long hair behind her shoulders. With her head cradled in her palms, she murmured with uncertainty, “Let’s see.”

Racing was just a hobby for her. It was something she did for fun in her spare time.

He was captivated by her adorable demeanor and he secretly exclaimed in his heart how charming she was once more.

However, he knew Amelie must have had her reasons. Hence, he did not push any further and merely made a salute gesture to her before walking away.

Amelie then got ready to start her car.

“Wait!”

Just as her car was about to speed away, Ashton appeared.

Amelie’s car would have hit him if she hadn’t stepped on the brakes quickly enough.

After the car stopped, she did not say anything and simply stared at Ashton.

“Let’s race for another round!” he suggested as he ruffled his hair.

When Chris heard that, he assumed Ashton was simply refusing to admit defeat. “Mr. Lowe, you don’t have to be too upset over losing to Dash. I lost to her as well,” he said.

With Ashton’s skills, he would never win against Amelie no matter how many rounds they competed.

Hence, Chris did not want Ashton to be embarrassed again. “Amelie has to go back earlier.”

Truth was, Ashton did not want to race against Amelie again as he knew he would lose, but that was what Elyse wanted.

He had no idea why she had requested this. All he knew was that his goddess had asked him to do so, and he had to abide by her wishes so that he wouldn’t be less respected again.

But he was too embarrassed to even raise his head. With his head bowed, he kicked the gravel on the ground and muttered, “This time, it’ll be just the two of us and a more difficult route!”

“I’ll race on her behalf!” Chris said at this point since his skills were enough to defeat Ashton.

Furthermore, Chris was the one who invited Amelie today. Of course, he wouldn’t allow Ashton to do what he pleased at her expense.
