A Matter of Wife and Love
Chapter 49

Chapter 49

The person had a lovely figure and a refined makeover, making her look stunning.

"Leo," Elyse called him softly, and her eyes were filled with adoration.

Looking at her, Leo hummed in response.

"Are you leaving?' As Elyse spoke, she stretched her neck and looked inside. "Why don't you stay a little longer? It's a rare moment that everyone is here."

"No thanks. You guys have fun," replied Leo with a lack of interest.

Leo's words prompted a wave of disappointment within her. The poor lady could only curl her fingers up silently while her sadness consumed her.

Behind her, Ashton told Leo off in dissatisfaction. "Hey! Quit playing around, Leo. Princess Elyse rarely had some time to spare for us. Don't ruin her mood." In Ashton's heart, Elyse was like a princess. Hence, he gave her such a nickname.

Hearing his words, Elyse caught up to it and commented pitifully, "That's right. I'm exhausted from running on several notices." As she spoke, she massaged her shoulder, looking as if she was worn out.

If it were before, Leo would have cared for her and put her as his first priority, no matter how important the matter he was dealing with was. However, at this moment, he was just looking at her with a faint expression and didn't react to her words.

Seeing his reaction, Elyse was confused. After all, Leo had announced to everyone before that he would protect her for a lifetime. For the past few days, she thought he would contact her like he used to and care for her like he was her protector. However, there was no sight of him, and he didn't even take the initiative to call her! Just as Elyse was relieved that he and Amelie had divorced and felt that her good days were here, Leo's reaction made her panic.

While she was in thought, Leo didn't respond to her words nor walk back. Instead, he swiftly walked past her from the side.

When Elyse saw that he was leaving, her heart sank, and she almost burst into tears. She quickly chased after him in the corridor and hugged him tightly from behind while pressing her head against his back. "I miss you, Leo!" she cried out.

Hearing her words, Leo stopped walking, and his back was stiff. However, he still didn't turn around.

Noticing this, Elyse hugged him even tighter. "For the past four years that I had left you, there isn't a moment that I have not missed you dearly, Leo. C-Can we start over again?"

It was Ashton who sent her a text and told her that Leo was at Prix Bar.

Some things won't have an ending if it isn't said aloud.

Elyse was a person who thought highly of herself, especially when she was spoiled by Leo when she was in her teen years and had Ashton, who would do anything for her. This made her feel superior to the point that she would look down on anyone. Hence, she didn't want to be the one to reveal it, even if Ashton had reminded her However, she was frightened by Leo's cold attitude toward her. Although Leo had divorced, she realized she would still lose him if she didn't take the initiative.

Thinking about it, Elyse started weeping out of nowhere. "Even if you're mad, I have already had my punishment of losing you for four years."

When Elyse was faced with strangers, she was beautiful and looked divine. However, now that she was facing Leo, she looked miserable and was crying. Her cries were soft, and one would protect her at all costs if they heard them.

However, Leo struggled out of her grip and looked at her. Just as Elyse's eyes lit up, and she thought he would

embrace her, he gently put his hand on her shoulder.

"If you have some spare time, why don't you accompany me to a place tomorrow?" He looked toward the sobbing lady.

Looking at him, Elyse felt her heart shattered into pieces. He didn't accept my proposal immediately! She had ignored her dignity and suppressed her arrogance just to ask for his forgiveness, yet he didn't accept it.

Since Elyse remembered that Leo used to cherish her, she thought that he would be excited and accept her proposal if she did it.

The huge difference between her imagination and reality had dumbstruck her to the point that tears had stopped falling as she looked at him in shock.

On the other hand, Leo didn't push her for an answer and was about to leave.

At that moment, Elyse panicked and grabbed him by the arm hastily, declaring, "I have the time! I'll go wherever you go!"

At least he didn't reject me, right? That means that I still have hope.

Many things happened to Elyse when she was abroad. Then, she realized that no one in the world would be as outstanding as Leo and loved her to the bone.

On a lovely day, Amelie brought Bria to the lake to do a live stream.

The lake was by the northeast side of Lumin Village. Since the lake owner had been out working, it was being left unused. Thus, the owner was afraid that the lake would go to waste and asked Steven to take care of him. With that, Steven had grown lotus and started a small fish farm in the lake.

At this moment, it was lotus season. Although the lotus flowers Steven grew could not be compared with the variety of lotuses from the specialized garden since he had only grown white lotus, the lotuses were gigantic and supported by their thick stem. If one were to look at the lake, one would only see a massive pile of whiteness and feel the purity of the lotuses. Before Amelie started her online stream, the three generations of the Dillons wore a fox mask as usual.

Steven was in charge of rowing, Bria was in charge of livening the mood, and Amelie wore a long dress and stood by the head of the boat. When the boat surfed over the water, the wind blew and caused the hem of her dress to dance along with it. Then, she casually flickered the lotus flower beside her, and her hair was floating mid-air. She looked just like a goddess.

When the audience in her live stream saw her outfit, they were in awe and sent multiple praise words in the chat. Some praised her for looking so divine, some were in awe of Bria's cuteness, and some even liked Steven's calm vibe.

As they were on the lake, Amelie remembered a local folk rhyme that Steven had used to sing for her. With that, she sang it aloud. Since her voice was melodious like a nightingale and she had used some local accent, the chat was exciting and in a frenzy!

'Oh my God, not even the movie will be able to show us this beautiful scenery and a divine goddess with such a melodious voice.

'I'm going to faint from this astonishing scene."

'Just bury me in her sweet voice."

'Can I die in Foxy's embrace?"

'Don't say such a thing! Baby Fox is still here!'

Steven was shy on the live stream, but when he heard Amelie singing the folk rhyme he used to sing, he couldn't help but join her. When Bria heard that they were singing, she danced on the boat, making cute gestures since she didn't know how to sing the song.

'Oh dear, I'm going to melt from their cuteness."

'I never knew Daddy Fox would be so good at singing."

'Be careful, Baby Fox. Don't fall into the water!'

The chat was heartwarming, with everyone's appraisal and reminder. Soon, there were almost eight hundred million people in the live stream, and the numbers were still rising!

At this moment, on the other end of the computer, a face with soft features was pursing his lips as he looked at the screen.

Toby had his eyes on the screen. When he saw the divine goddess on his screen, he couldn't help but reach out his hand and caress her cheek.

Amelie is finally reborn.

After they had stopped singing and dancing, the trio logged out of their broadcast. Then, Steven stopped the boat by the shore and carried Bria off the boat. In Bria's arms was a huge fishing net, and it was filled with the fish that Steven had caught. Although the fish was slithering around in the net and ruined Bria's clothes, she didn't mind and hugged it tightly as she smiled brightly. "Stop moving around. If you behave, Grandpa won't make you guys into food," she said to the fish.

Amelie told Bria and Steven to go home without her while she went to the town's post office to send some fresh lotus roots and some additional products that Steven had grown to Julia. Only then did she slowly walk

back home.

Just as she was on the village path, a motorcycle came out of nowhere and went straight for her! The rider's face was twisted with anger as he looked Amelie dead in the eyes!
