A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 356

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.

He didn’t seem to have heard her and walked straight past her.

She was speechless, and the satisfaction she got from revenge was quickly replaced with the feeling of being ignored. She pinched her fingertips under her sleeve before she quickly chased after him.

Even if he didn’t say anything, she continued chattering on. “Miss Dillon is admirable for removing her cornea for you. This takes a lot of courage, and I would never have done it even with borrowed courage,” she said before sighing once again. “How much does she like you? I heard that she got an infection after donating her cornea and was unconscious for three months. She saved you by risking her life.”

Michelle knew that Leo had decided to let her go because of this, and she decided to rub salt in his wound. The more tormented he was, the better she felt!

“Ow!” Just as she was talking, Leo suddenly stopped. Not paying attention, she bumped into his back.

It was cold and stiff, which made her shiver from it. Even if he hadn’t turned around and she couldn’t see his expression, she could feel the murderous aura coming from him. Her satisfaction was quickly replaced by fear as she felt an invisible hand around her neck, which caused her breathing to become laborious.

He did not need to say anything to make her feel suffocated!

…

Soon, night fell. As the cold tide came, the weather became colder. The night was freezing cold, and the number of people outside declined while every home was illuminated.

Leo sat in the car, his windows half open. The warm light shining on his face formed a clear contrast to his pale skin. The air conditioning wasn’t cold, but the interior was as cold as the exterior.

He held a cigarette between his fingers and took a smoke occasionally. The blue smoke emanating from his mouth as well as his slightly thin white shirt somehow gave the feeling that it was colder inside the car.
