A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

The moment Leo called her Big Eyes, Amelie’s mind went blank.

After their divorce, she kept that identity hidden. She never imagined that she would hear him call her by that name again.

“Did you remember me?

Before she could finish her sentence, Amelie felt her body being squeezed.

He hugged her.

Following that, a heavy scent of alcohol wafted into her nostrils.

“Did you drink?” She was still in shock after falling into his embrace.

Without speaking, Leo pressed his head into her nape.

His breath was a little urgent as he felt an inexplicable surge of depression.

Amelie dared not move an inch as she silently felt the rhythm of his breath.

Somehow, she started feeling uncomfortable.

Gradually, her anger toward him for forgetting her was beginning to fade.

Leo hugged her tight.

“I’m sorry. I should’ve come and looked for you sooner. It’s all my fault.” His voice was subdued but also sounded heartbroken.

Amelie shuddered and froze at the spot.

What is he saying?

“Why didn’t you come and look for me?” She almost blurted the question as she was eager to know the answer.

Her lashes shuddered uncontrollably after she asked the question. It was a sign of grievance.

“It’s my fault,” Leo muttered.

“Your fault? What did you do wrong?” Amelie asked softly.

They were knitted so tightly they could turn into a knot that couldn’t be untied.

“I always thought it was you.” He blurted out of nowhere after falling silent for some time.

She almost gave up seeking an answer from him, but that sentence once again aroused her

curiosity.

“You thought it was me?”

Leo snuggled deeper into her nape and muttered, “El…”

“Mr. Alston.”

Amelie pricked up her ears in an attempt to hear him clearly, but the weight on her body suddenly turned light. Leo had been pried away from her.

Laura’s worried face entered Amelie’s line of sight, which caused the latter to sober up. she recalled that she was no longer in a relationship with Leo, she quickly backed away.

When

Noticing Amelie, Laura looked surprised but didn’t badger her. “Mr. Alston is drunk. Sorry that he bothered you.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Amelie replied indifferently.

Laura quickly called the guards over to help Leo stand.

Standing still in the middle of the road, Amelie allowed the wind to blow the hem of her dress.

What was Leo doing?He has forgotten about Big Eyes but suddenly said things like it’s my fault.”

Shaking her head fervently, she forced herself to forget about him.

Since they were divorced now, she intended to leave everything behind and stop dwelling on the past.

Despite her trying to comfort herself, Leo’s words still left a strong impression, like a ripple that formed in her usually calm heart.

After the incident, she returned to her normal life.

Amelie started going up and down between the two cities.

It was tiring sometimes, but she was happy.
