A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 356 To Hurt His Feelings

Amelie looked in that direction to see Michelle and Leo walking in her direction side by side.

Already discussing family plans? Amelie couldn’t help looking at Michelle’s tummy, but it was flat. They had just confirmed their relationship, so they wouldn’t have children this early even if they were together. Obviously, they were at the hospital for a pre-marital checkup.

Leo’s arms hung by his sides, his gaze cold and lips pursed tightly as if he didn’t want to talk to Michelle. When his gaze shifted and landed on Amelie, it lingered briefly as he answered, “Both are okay to me.”

Michelle froze, surprised that he had responded to her. However, she also caught sight of Amelie, and a meaningful expression appeared on her face. Purposefully linking her arm with Leo’s, Michelle raised her carefully made-up face higher. “You and I have the same opinion, Leo. I am not picky either.”

“Oh, Miss Dillon. What a coincidence to see you here,” she called out after that as if she had just spotted Amelie.

“Miss Walsh, Mr. Alston,” Amelie greeted them politely.

Michelle smiled brightly while Leo nodded politely as they passed her, behaving like strangers. Amelie merely assumed he wanted to avoid controversy and did not think too much about it as she continued walking.

Behind them, Michelle voluntarily removed her arm from Leo’s and retreated to a safe distance, her eyes focused curiously on Leo’s face. Since his gaze was still directed toward Amelie, he wasn’t looking at her. Even if it wasn’t obvious, she still caught it as her smile became wider.

“Mr. Alston, you still cannot forget Miss Dillon, can you?” Her voice became polite and distant, compared to the intimate one from before. Amelie was truly admirable since she had caught Leo’s weakness. Now, he thought he didn’t deserve her. Although he still fancied her a lot, he still distanced herself from her.

After being refused by Leo, she was focused on revenge. The more he was hurting, the happier she felt. If she wasn’t so wary of him, she would have brought him before Amelie every day so that she could torture him repeatedly.

“If you can’t let go of her, just pursue her. We’re merely putting up a facade to avoid everyone’s attempts at forcing marriage on us. You don’t have to be concerned about me.” She sounded sincere, yet her eyes were cold.
