Nobody Messes With Elyse
As the man looked up and showed his face, Amelie was stunned in that instant. “L-Leo?” What brings
him here? He never set foot anywhere near my house in the past four years, but here he is after we
divorced. This is strange.
Meanwhile, Leo pursed his lips and waited until Amelie met his gaze before he started approaching
her. At the same time, Amelie couldn’t help but size the man up silently, noticing the glacial expression
on his face as she asked, “To what do I owe you the pleasure?”
Then, Leo looked over Amelie’s shoulder and saw a lodge, which was in fact Steven’s place of
residence, behind her. Since Amelie happened to be standing in front of the entrance at that moment,
she could be easily mistaken for a random guest who was staying there. Following Leo’s line of sight
and turning around, she turned around and set her eyes on the plaque above the entrance. The next
second, she tried to explain herself and said, “Actually, I’m now staying—”
Before Amelie could finish her words, she was interrupted by Leo abruptly. “I don’t care what you’re
here for, but be warned that I’ll take action against whoever tries to step on Elyse!”
Amelie was stunned upon hearing those words, her face darkening glacially. She then stared at the
man in disbelief, finding it hard to convince herself that this was the extent Leo would go to protect
Elyse.
I was the one who discovered their affair, yet now I’ve become Elyse’s so-called bully?! How is this
fair?! Come on, Leo. Where are your standards?! Despite knowing how much Leo cared about Elyse,
Amelie still couldn’t help but feel mad and speechlessly disappointed about the man’s heartless
response.
This is how far he’d go to protect Elyse, yet he can’t be bothered to talk to me nicely. I was his
soulmate who went through countless ups and downs with him. In fact, I even… She placed her hand
over her impaired left eye, feeling both heartbroken and disappointed.
Soon, Leo’s voice was heard again. “I hope you can avoid us wherever Elyse and I go, or I’ll be forced
to do my worst against you!” Those words felt like a sharp blade plunging into Amelie’s chest. Despite
the fact that they were already divorced, she still couldn’t help feeling a stab of overwhelming pain.
As soon as Leo finished his words, he turned around and walked away. When he brushed shoulders
with Bria, he paused in his tracks, extending his fingertip toward the little girl who stared at him.
However, the child quickly dodged the man’s reach, gawking at him with a more hateful gaze this time.
Although she didn’t know much about the adult world, she could sense Leo’s indifferent tone and the
disgust in his eyes when he was talking to her mother. I should not talk to anyone who doesn’t treat
Mommy nicely.
The next moment, he put down his hand, questioning himself what he was doing. What’s wrong with
me? Am I feeling sympathetic for this b*stard? After dismissing that thought, he stepped forward and
left the place.
“Leo!” Amelie called out to Leo from behind him, but to no avail as the man didn’t bother to stop and
respond. Staring at her ex-husband’s silhouette, she felt a strong urge to catch up with him and ask
what his heart was made of.
Why does he insist on protecting Elyse?! That lady hurt him and left him heartbroken, but I… I
sacrificed so much, only to be deserted by him. Why?! What gives him the right to tell me where I can
and can’t go? Who does he think he is to keep giving me a hard time?
In the end, Amelie responded with a glacial chuckle, pressing her tongue against the top of her mouth.
“You’d better not regret this, Mr. Alston!”
Like Amelie expected, Leo couldn’t be bothered to respond to her as he disappeared from her sight
shortly after. In the meantime, Amelie stood in place, allowing the overwhelming inside of her to take
over her mind and break her heart.
Feeling as though she had been stabbed by a blade through the chest, she couldn’t help but beat
herself up for how foolish she used to be back then. I’m suffering from the foolish decision I made a
long time ago. What have I done?
Suddenly, Amelie felt a pair of arms wrapped around her legs.
“Don’t be sad, Mommy.” Bria sympathetically rested her face on her mother’s leg, trying to console her.
“It doesn’t matter if Leo doesn’t like you since you still have me. I’m going to grow up soon and protect
you. By then, no one can take advantage of you!”
Despite Bria’s little arms, she hugged Amelie’s legs tightly like a snake that was guarding its eggs. In
that instant, Amelie’s heart was melted by Bria’s innocent and childish voice as she crouched down and
cupped the child’s face, planting a kiss on her nose. After that, she proceeded to place her forehead
against her daughter’s, trying to cherish a mother-daughter intimate moment between the two of them.
Despite her unsuccessful four-year marriage, Amelie found some consolation in the fact that she still
had Bria with her. That’s right. I should move on and pretend as if nothing happened. From now on, I
will not dwell on my past, nor will I miss that man ever again. I’m going to treat all those foolish
sacrifices that I made for Leo as payment for having Bria.
Later that night, Amelie went on to review her company’s data after putting Bria to sleep when she
suddenly heard her phone ringing. Realizing it was a call from Julia, she immediately answered it.
“Have you received the agricultural product? I hope it’s still intact. If you like it, I’ll send more of those
again.”
“What product? Come out right now!” Julia’s voice was filled with anger on the other side of the phone.
“W-What? Where?” Amelie asked with a pair of furrowed brows on her face.
“I said come out of your house!” Julia raised her voice so loud that Amelie almost went deaf. “I’m going
to give you five minutes, or I’m going to barge in myself!”
“What? Which house?” Amelie instantly sat bolt upright and unveiled the curtains, only to see nothing
except darkness. That’s what I thought. There is no way that Julia would come so far just to visit me so
late at night.
“I’m now in your yard! Hurry up!” Julia’s aggression was clearly evident in her agitated tone.
“Amy, we’re just by the gate of your old house. Are you guys asleep? The lights are out.” Not long after
that, a man’s gentle voice, which turned out to be Samuel’s, was heard from the other side.
It was then that Amelie realized they still thought she was living at the old house. However, that didn’t
stop her from wondering why Julia and Samuel would visit her at an ungodly hour. “If you’re asleep, I’ll
take Julia to the hotel. We can talk tomorrow…”
Before the man could finish her words, Julia cut her fiancé short and demanded, “What are you talking
about?! Amelie, I want to see you now! Get out of your house and talk!”
Since Julia had rarely thrown a tantrum at her, Amelie was surprised to find out how agitated she was.
Thus, she quickly explained herself and put on her casual wear before making her way to her old
house.
At her arrival, she was greeted by the sight of Samuel’s magnificent Bentley. While the headlights were
shining brightly, their surroundings could be clearly seen, including Julia’s unhappy expression.
In the meantime, Samuel patted Julia’s shoulder when he saw Amelie approaching them. “Promise me
you’re going to talk to her nicely, okay?” After that, he nodded at Amelie and backed away, leaving the
ladies to it.
“What’s wrong?” Amelie came running, almost out of her breath as she looked at Julia.
Julia pinned a piece of paper on Amelie’s chest and demanded an answer from her. “Amelie, you’d
better start explaining what this is all about!”
The next second, Amelie took the paper from her friend and took a quick skim at it with her car’s
headlights. After reading it, her face changed as her fingers stiffened. Then, she began to clench her
fists with the paper in her palms, crumpling it up. Seemingly guilty, she didn’t dare to look Julia in the
eye. “W-Where did you get this?”
“Don’t ask me that question. All you have to do is tell me what I want to know. Is this true?!” Julia
repeatedly poked the paper with her fingertip so hard that she nearly left a hole on it. Thanks to her
edgy nature, she couldn’t wait to hear what Amelie had to say.
