A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 80

Chapter 80 I’m Not Good Enough for Her

To be honest, Toby hated being in the same space as these two people. One of them was pretentious, while the other was stupid, so he didn’t like to be with them at all. If it was not because Amelie didn’t let him tell the truth, he really wanted to spill the fact that Foxy was Amelie to them.

“Amelie is clear about her friends and foes, and she has a bottom line for everything. She wouldn’t hate someone because she couldn’t get the love she wanted, and she wouldn’t go against a person without a solid reason. If she does that, the person needs to think about whether he has done anything outrageous.” When he said that, his eyes landed on Elyse for a second.

His expression was calm, and he spoke casually without looking serious, but that glance was like a spotlight, boring into the darkest side of Elyse.

His look made her heart pound, and she tried very hard to keep her poker face on.

“Do you have feelings for Amelie, Toby? Why do you keep sticking up for her?!” an enraged Ashton bellowed.

Feelings for Amelie? Toby didn’t deny it right away but put on a wry smile. “Even if I have feelings for her, I’m not good enough for her.”

“You’re insane!” Ashton had no idea about Amelie’s identity, so he rolled his eyes at Toby when he heard that.

“Leo, Mr. Steward’s matter can’t be rushed. Why don’t we enjoy ourselves for two days and figure out a way after we have enough rest?” Elyse spoke softly while grabbing Leo’s hand.

“Okay.” Only after some time did Leo nod and agree.

…

On the next day, the sky was clear. Amelie had gone to the golf course with Owen in the early morning.

Owen was in a gray golf attire. Although he was in his forties, he was still energetic. Even his gray hair was shining in the sunlight.

On the other hand, Amelie was wearing off-white golf attire. The design of her shirt was slightly conservative, and it fitted perfectly on her body. The half-sleeve showed a section of her smooth and thin arm, while her legs seemed long with her pants wrapping around her legs. Not only that, her hair was tied up in a ponytail, displaying her energy and youthfulness.

Owen looked at her with an appreciative look. “Young people are really something else. Full of youthfulness.”

“You’re youthful too! And handsome.” She gave him the thumbs up. Their relationship was like friends and also like that of father and daughter, having good chemistry when they interacted with each other.

He chuckled when he heard that. Although he was over forty, his face had no wrinkles, and his features when he was young could roughly be seen. It seemed like he was extremely good-looking in his youth.

The two of them chatted as they played golf, having an enjoyable time together. After a few turns, they saw two people walking in their direction.

As soon as Amelie saw them, her brows knitted together, and the smile on her face faded because it was not anyone else but Leo and Elyse.

Leo was in navy blue sportswear, displaying his perfect figure completely. His face was so calm without any expression, which made his exquisite figures stand out. He was so good-looking for nothing.

Meanwhile, Elyse wore a crop top and short pants, which showed her slender legs and a section of her waist. Her hair was tied into a bun, displaying her beautiful neck and collarbone. This added a sense of erotism to her goddess aura.

After glancing at them, Amelie turned around immediately.

Yet, he stood still without moving an inch while his gaze fixed on her.

“Mr. Steward?” Elyse exclaimed in surprise when she recognized Owen. After she looked at him, her gaze landed on Amelie once again. Owen gave her special permission to meet him yesterday, and she’s already playing golf with him today. Who is he, really? Even when the president of Starlight Media has high prestige and he’s willing to meet her, does he have to ask her to play golf with him?

All sorts of thoughts came across Elyse’s mind within seconds, but she couldn’t figure out anything at all. Just as she wanted to ask Leo, he had already taken a step forward and walked over. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Steward. I’m Leo Alston.”

No matter from an entrepreneur’s perspective or out of courtesy, greeting Owen was a necessity since he had met Owen here.

Seeing that, Elyse followed behind him hastily as well. “Hello, Mr. Steward. I’m Elyse Clayton.” She wanted to introduce more about her status and the roles she had played, but she swallowed her words when she recalled what Toby said.

At this moment, Owen landed a calm gaze on them. “Leo Alston, the president of Genesis?”

“Yes.” Leo nodded. He kept his manners in front of Owen but didn’t seem servile or overbearing.

Without a deep meaning, Owen turned around and looked at Amelie. “So, you two know each other?”

“We’ve met,” she replied with a poker face. She simply used the word ‘met’ to summarize her relationship with Leo.

When Leo heard her answer, his forehead furrowed, and he suddenly felt strange. We’ve at least been husband and wife for four years, but our relationship becomes ‘we’ve met’ in her eyes, huh?

No one knew if Owen could tell anything from Leo’s expression, but he didn’t expose Amelie’s identity as he said, “Well, fate brought us together today. Mr. Alston is our guest for traveling here. You need to help me be a good company for him, Amelie.”

Amelie became speechless as she looked at him in confusion. Is he trying to be Leo’s host, and even asking me to be his company?

“I suppose Mr. Alston can play too. Why not play a few rounds with Amelie?” he continued.

When Elyse heard that, she was stunned. Is he suddenly asking Amelie to play with Leo?

Then, she looked at Amelie again. Why is Owen so nice to her? They look like they have a special relationship. Could it be that the president of Starlight Media has an extremely close relationship with Owen?

Of course, Elyse wouldn’t think that Amelie was Foxy, so she kept putting her guess on the president of Starlight Media. That man is so mysterious. It won’t be a surprise, no matter what his identity is.

Meanwhile, Leo answered, “Sure.” There was not much fluctuation in his voice, and it was neither fast nor slow. It was just calm and steady.

Amelie didn’t know what was on Owen’s mind, so she couldn’t say much either. In the end, she gestured at Leo. “After you, Mr. Alston.” Her tone was so calm, as though he was just an acquaintance.

Hearing that, Leo knitted his brows again and left the place with her without saying anything.

On the other hand, Elyse looked at the two figures leaving. Although she was a little annoyed, she knew that she finally had a chance to talk to Owen, so she blurted, “Mr. Steward, why don’t we have a cup of tea in a shady place while watching them play?”

There was a building located in a place with a pleasant view, from which one could see a long distance from the top.

Owen didn’t reject her request. “Okay.”

Then, they turned around to head toward the building.

When Amelie and Leo arrived at the starting point, a caddie was already waiting for them.

After taking the ball and putting it on the ground, she perfected her posture and swung the club, hitting the ball accurately.

As soon as he saw the ball flying high across the sky, surprise flashed in his eyes, as he had no idea that she knew how to play golf and was so good at it.

She knew how to play golf, and she could also race cars. After their divorce, she was like a treasure box that had been opened. Every treasure in it was a surprise.

“Your turn, Mr. Alston.” Amelie’s voice resonated. It was clear, and her tone was very formal as she spoke with a smile on her face. Even though that smile was perfect, it looked empty without any sincerity in it.

When he saw that, he felt his heart wrenched a little, as he wasn’t used to seeing that.

Leo took a club but didn’t hit the ball in a hurry. Instead, he looked at her and asked, “When did you learn to play golf?”

“A long time ago.” Her tone was calm.

“Why have I never seen you play before?” After being divorced for so long, this was the first time he wanted to know more about her. “I’ve never seen you race a car too.”

His words drew a smile to her lips. “It was the Alston Family’s rule not to let me leave the house. Even if I wanted to play, I didn’t have the chance to do so.”

At that, Leo had no comeback. That was what Melissa wanted, but he had never disagreed either. He didn’t take her as part of his family at all at that time, so he didn’t bother to care.

“Also, even if I played all these, you wouldn’t make time to care about me either, right?” she added.

This understatement was like a heavy hammer pounding his back. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Leo lifted his head sharply and looked at her in pain. This was supposed to be a heartbreaking topic, but Amelie was all smiles when she said that, as though she didn’t think of it as a big deal.

After saying that, she turned around and left, light-footed.

On the contrary, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders, making it difficult for him to take a step.
