A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 291 The Official Announcement

Fiona chuckled and said, “You should’ve figured it out a long time ago. Fabian and I have known each other for a long time. When we were much younger back then, we suffered together. I was willing to step back and give him all the resources I fought so hard for.”

As she spoke, her gaze became distant.

“I thought you would’ve guessed it with your intelligence. To be honest, Giada and I used to be best friends, but during Fabian’s celebration dinner, they kissed.”

Uncovering the past was like a knife stabbing into her heart.

Amelie could understand her pain as she had experienced heartbreak too.

Now, she laughed as if it was not a big deal, but back then, the pain was unbearable.

“Why would you tell me when you could have said nothing.” Amelie couldn’t help but ask.

Although it was a momentary impulse, she hated exposing people’s scars.

“I believe you,” Fiona said calmly as she smiled.

“Some people still feel distant even after knowing them for a few decades. You still can’t figure out their true colors. But for some people, you only need a few days or even a few hours, and you can already figure out their personality. You are the second kind of person.”

Amelie chuckled softly and said, “Are you indirectly calling me shallow?”

“No, of course not. You’re not shallow. You’re genuine.”

Fiona’s compliment was fair enough.

Amelie nodded in agreement and said, “I like it when you compliment me.”

Fiona smiled. “I know your personality. You won’t hurt others, and you won’t let others harm you too. But remember, no matter what, don’t take revenge now.”

“I know.” A trustworthy friend like her was hard to find.

“Don’t worry, I won’t take target the crew even if I had a grudge.”

The image of the pitiful director flashed through Amelie’s mind. She didn’t want him to be fully bald.

However, I still need to find an opportunity to find Giada’s dirt. Once the show ends, it will be the beginning of her nightmare!

Amelie was still thinking when her vision suddenly went dark.

All of a sudden, her slender body was blocked by a tall figure.

That person was so tall that it made him look unapproachable.

Amelie was stunned for a moment before looking up. Her neck was sore from the movement. Finally, she saw his face.

It was Leo again.

This man just won’t give up, will he?

“Miss Shaw, can you give us a second? I want to talk to Foxy.” Even though Leo was speaking to Fiona, his eyes were on Amelie.

Fiona was frightened by his cold and harsh demeanor. She shuddered before nodding. “Okay.”

After she finished speaking, she walked into the hall elegantly.

Amelie stood there, then she smirked. “Why? Are you going to take revenge for your lover?”

Her lips curled into a smile, but her eyes were as cold as ice.

Leo noticed it. “Do you hate me that much?”

“Huh?” His irrelevant response left Amelie stunned as she stared at him like he was an alien.

Was it important whether she liked him or not?

“Mr. Alston, you seem to be asking the wrong question,” she reminded him kindly.

Leo frowned.

He had always hated her calling him Mr. Alston politely. It was too formal.

“I did threaten your lover.” Leo tried to beat around the bush, but she didn’t have time to play along, so she threw the question back at him. “What are you going to do about it, Mr. Alston?”

She tilted her head to the side as she spoke and looked at him provocatively.

Her lips formed a stubborn line.

Even though Amelie’s expression was filled with provocation, Leo found it adorable for some reason.

His lips couldn’t help but slowly curve upward.

He smiled. He smiled?

Amelie looked at Leo as if she had seen a ghost.

Did he just smile at me? Is my vision playing tricks on me?

“I want to pursue you,” he said.

Clang!

Amelie felt like her head was hit by something and it suddenly went blank.

She looked at Leo in confusion, feeling that she was either hallucinating or that Leo was playing tricks on her.

This man always felt like talking to her was a waste of time, but now, he was willing to play tricks on her just for Ellen’s sake?

“Mr. Alston, you must be kidding,” She finally forced out a fake smile after a long while.

This was the slowest reaction she had ever had.

“I’m not joking, and I’m not here to discuss or ask for your opinion. I’m here to inform you,” he said directly.

Huh? Amelie’s brain crashed again.

She looked up and saw Leo’s focused and serious expression. He was saying the most romantic words in the world with a serious tone.

An outsider would have thought he was having a meeting.

For some reason… it was funny.

“Are you planning to take revenge for Ellen this way?” Amelie asked a very silly question.

Leo smiled. “Do you think I’m that bored?”

For some reason, he found Amelie’s silly question cute.

Even though he couldn’t see her face, he still liked her a lot.

It was only recently that he realized he had feelings for her.

He had fallen for her a long time ago.

“Yes, I think you are quite bored,” Amelie said.

This conversation was going nowhere. Amelie ran past him and into the hall to get away from him.

Leo turned to watch her. His smile deepened at the sight of her running away.

Compared to his good mood, Amelie felt like her world had been turned upside down. For the rest of the day, she was in a daze. She couldn’t even think properly.

Leo had been very clear with her about their relationship, but he suddenly changed his attitude and confessed his feelings to her.

Even the strongest heart would have a hard time bearing this.

Amelie didn’t even know how she managed to make it back to the place.

The sun was already setting when she made it to the entrance of the main hall.

A group of people had gathered there. Their sudden arrival had startled the guest.

Although everyone was restraining themselves, they refused to leave and formed a crowd.

Amelie felt a headache coming on as she looked at all the eyes fixed on her. She felt like she was a monkey in a zoo being watched.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, applause and cheers erupted from a small group.

Amelie turned around and saw Chester holding Giada’s waist. They stood together, looking extremely happy.

Compared to Chester, Giada looked stunned, as if she had just swallowed a fly.

It wasn’t just a fly. It was as if she had swallowed sh*t.

Amelie even saw Giada’s eyes which were red and swollen. She was on the verge of tears.

“What’s happening?” Amelie looked around in confusion. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“I didn’t expect them to announce their relationship.” Fiona approached Amelie and patted her on her shoulder as she cleared Amelie’s doubt.

Fiona was also surprised when she found out they were together.

The amusement came after the surprise.

“Giada is usually intelligent. She even broke up with someone as powerful as Fabian easily, so why would she jump into the arms of Chester, this playboy?”
