A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146

“Let’s break up.”

An explosion erupted in Elyse’s head, and she looked at him with unblinking, confused eyes as though she didn’t understand what he meant. “W-What did you say?

“We’re not suited for each other. Let’s break up,” Leo repeated.

“Leo…” Her mouth opened and closed several times until she finally uttered his name. As she stood there, paralyzed on the spot, her brain slowly regained its functions, but the more she thought about it, the more her body trembled. “W-Why do you have this thought all of a sudden? Aren’t we doing well the whole time? Are you breaking up with me because of this?”

“It’s not because of this matter that I’m breaking up with you,” he answered in a clear voice. “It’s the decision I made after careful consideration.”

“Careful… consideration?” The words hit her like a sledgehammer, and tears rolled down her face freely again.

So, the whole time when I thought he was mine again, he was thinking about… breaking up?

Proud and arrogant, Elyse thought that if she humbled herself and pleased Leo, he would present his heart to her on a silver platter. In the end, he ignored all of her efforts!

She bit her lip hard and couldn’t say a word. All she could feel was Leo silently trampling on her face, ravaging it over and over again!

Meanwhile, after Leo finished all he had to say, he gave her a slight nod before walking outward.

It was then that Elyse finally snapped back to her senses and lunged at him to stop him. “Leo, you can’t do this! I don’t want to break up with you!” Tears flowed down her cheeks as she held him from behind. “I know you’re still mad over what happened four years ago. I was the one who was too stubborn back then and put you in such an awkward position because I didn’t make things clear immediately. Back then, I was… too young. Furthermore, your mother disliked me so much, so I only wanted you to lower yourself and spoil me in public

to teach her a lesson. It was really.. just a moment of folly.”

While she was speaking, her face was filled with unease.

When it was exposed that she cheated, she chose not to explain herself because she wanted Leo to set his dignity aside and protect her in public. If word of this got out, many would call her shameless and ignorant, but at that time, she thought all of this was right.

“I’m sorry. You spoiled me so much back then that I became arrogant and didn’t know when to stop,” she quickly apologized.

I en lowered his head and glanced at the hands that were classed together tightly around him Then the odoos

“Elyse,” he called her name softly, but his tone had never been so gentle before. “I know exactly what happened four years ago.”

His gentle voice failed to instill a sense of security in Elyse. Instead, she turned even more nervous, and right after, she felt more embarrassed than ever!

“You indeed wanted to teach my mother a lesson, but it’s also true that you slept with that man,” he said

indifferently.

Suddenly, she turned into stone, and even her blood flow stopped. “Leo…. Then, why didn’t you—’

“Do you want to ask me why I didn’t expose you back then when you told me that you didn’t sleep with that man? At that time, I had already married Amelie, and it was pointless to expose your lie. Moreover, I’ve already slept with her when you cheated on me, so I was in no position to expose you.”

Speechless, Elyse finally knew that the glee she felt when she thought that she had fooled him was all but an

illusion.

Humiliation and embarrassment washed over her like a big bucket of water.
