Amelie was trying to guess whether it was a bear or a person when suddenly, the rustling sound behind her grew louder. In a flash, a powerful force struck her neck from behind! She quickly ducked out of the way and grabbed the hand, reaching for her. Twisting her body, she slipped under the other person’s arm and tried to throw them over her shoulder in one move.
“It’s me!” a low voice suddenly said, and a hand pressed down on her shoulder, halting her movement.
She was momentarily stunned, but then she heard the name she recognized well.
“I’m Leo.”
“Leo?” She turned around and shone the phone’s light on him. Then, she saw the sharp line of his jaw and, above that, his pursed lips, nose, and those clear, stern, and always indifferent eyes. He was staring at her, his eyes wide with surprise.
“You know martial arts?” She would have thrown him off if he hadn’t called out in time.
“I learned a little before,” Amelie replied casually, not wanting to say much. She turned her body and met Leo’s gaze, standing straight and composed. His height gave him a clear advantage, and he looked down at her as if he wanted to see right through her.
“How much do you know?” he asked, feeling he didn’t know his former wife. She’s a social media star, a racecar driver, and now she knows martial arts?
“Not much,” she replied, thinking they no longer needed to be honest with one another. After their divorce, it was no longer necessary for him to boastfully list her qualities. On the other hand, these were merely hobbies for her, and she never felt conceited about learning them.
“I’m gonna go patrol,” she said and walked away.
