A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 362 Why Do You Have to Be Sympathetic Toward Your Ex-wife?

When she finished speaking, Amelie saw Leo open his eyes. He froze as their gazes met. Even though they were divorced and didn’t interfere in each other’s lives, she couldn’t help but recall what had happened during the day and felt discomfited. However, she still greeted him politely.

“It has been a while, Mr. Alston.”

He did not answer but reached out his hand to stop the woman from feeding him. His eyes lingered on Amelie as he bit his lips, his inner thoughts indiscernible.

“Mr. Alston, is she your ex-wife?” The woman beside him spoke in a delicate voice after she noticed him looking at Amelie while glancing several times at her involuntarily.

“Mr. Alston may have played around a little during these two years, but he truly fancies the serious type,” Ashton went on, his eyes looking at Amelie meaningfully in a clear attempt to anger the minor celebrity. “You should learn that well and be more dignified. Don’t take off your clothes in front of him too quickly, or people will get weary of you far too soon.”

He was clearly trying to elicit hatred toward Amelie, and Amelie knew that. She pretended not to understand him, ignoring the hateful look the woman beside Leo sent her as she marched toward the table and poured herself a glass of alcohol. She gave Ashton a toast, saying, “I didn’t offend you on purpose, Mr. Lowe. It’s my fault, and I apologize for that.”

She downed it when she finished speaking and poured another. Just as she was about to drink it, someone stopped her halfway.

“You two were married before. Why aren’t you sympathetic toward her? Here, I’ll give her a chance by allowing you to drink on her behalf.” Ashton pressed down on her hand as he spoke to Leo, seemingly oblivious that the atmosphere would worsen.

“Didn’t Mr. Lowe say that she’s your ex-wife? Why do you have to be sympathetic toward her?” Leo hadn’t even responded, yet the minor celebrity beside him was not having it. She pursed her lips as if protesting the unfairness of it. Anyone could see that she didn’t want any contact between Leo and Amelie.

Everyone else in the room either knew Amelie or didn’t, but they wouldn’t miss such a good show when it was happening right there. They melted into the background and watched with total concentration, not wanting to interrupt.
