A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 2

Within ten minutes, a red mini-sports car stopped in front of Amelie.

Then, a woman came out of the car hastily.

The woman’s name was Julia White, and she was Amelie’s best friend.

When she saw Amelie, she asked, “Did you really get a divorce, Amelie?” “Yes.” Amelie nodded and sat in the passenger seat.

Hearing her words, Julia jumped into the driver’s seat and said exaggeratedly, “That’s wonderful! You used to be a woman with pride, but you lost it and became a slave for the Alston Family because of him.

However, they were never grateful and even felt that you were taking advantage of them.

I’ve long despised them for picking on you!” When Amelie heard her words, she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

Julia could tell that she was feeling terrible at the moment, so she hugged Amelie tightly and said, “It’s okay.

Let it all out.” With that being said, Amelie stayed in Julia’s embrace for a while before she rubbed her tears away and smiled, saying, “Today’s a great day.

Let’s go to the amusement park and celebrate.” Thirty minutes later, at an amusement park in Clouson City, Amelie was screaming as she sat on a ride called the Drop Tower, feeling herself falling from the sky.

Then, she played several exciting rides like the Condor, Flying Cars, Freefall, Racing Car, and so on. As she screamed her lungs out on the rides, she was crying freely too.

Bits of memories about her and Leo flashed across her mind.

Thrilling rides were the best for healing.

After she played for some time, she felt relaxed and wiped away the last drop of her tears.

At the same time, she had also removed Leo from her heart.

Then, she went to the clothing store and changed her clothes while Julia accompanied her.

Afterward, she dyed her hair blonde and permed her long, straight hair curly. When Julia saw Amelie’s new look, she snapped her fingers in satisfaction and said, “Now, this is the real you.” Looking into the mirror, Amelie saw that she looked beautiful, elegant, and confident.

No one would be able to recognize her as the quiet and miserable Mrs. Alston she used to be.

“It’s been a long time, Amelie,” she mumbled.

By the time Amelie was done, it was 7.00PM.

The duo were starving and headed toward a restaurant.

“Sit still and wait for me while I ask the owner to prepare some delicious food!” said Julia as she patted Amelie’s shoulder.

Then, she turned around and left.

While Amelie was walking to the booth they had reserved, she encountered a man and a woman.

They were none other than Leo and his sweetheart, Elyse Clayton. In the past, I couldn’t even get a glimpse of him for weeks, but we’re already bumping into each other shortly after our divorce, Amelie thought and sighed.

Just as she was about to avoid them, Elyse saw her and took the initiative to greet the woman. She smiled and said, “Miss Dillion, are you here to see Leo?” Before Amelie could deny it, she continued, “I’m so sorry for what happened.

Leo was just helping me to retrieve something at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

I didn’t know that you guys would get a divorce because of this.” No wonder Leo arrived earlier today.

If not for Elyse’s words, I would have thought that Leo had some feelings for me within the last four years of our marriage.

Fortunately, I’ve already made up my mind to forget about him.

Otherwise, I would be heartbroken, Amelie thought sarcastically. “I’m glad that there is a cooling-off period.

Leo, talk it out with her, okay?” Elyse said softly.

Then, she pushed Leo forward and walked away.

Once they were left alone, Amelie tried explaining immediately since she didn’t want him to misunderstand.

“I’m not here for you.

This is all a coincidence.” However, Leo didn’t believe her and said, “Stop playing hard to get.

It’s useless!” Then, he lowered his head and stared at Amelie, noticing her new hairstyle and clothes.
