A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 278

Amelie smiled and looked at Blake, who also happened to be grinning at her.

Both of them did not want to invite trouble for themselves, nor did they bother to explain anything. Amelie only gave Fiona an ambiguous response. “Why don’t you venture a guess?”

Fiona giggled. “For some reason, even though both of you look intimate, something is lacking between you two.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Can you get me some water, Leo?” Ellen was heard asking softly. Her childish voice was piercing.

All of them were startled, and they couldn’t help but turn to look at her.

Although they were aware that there would be a newcomer, they hadn’t seen her before. When they saw how Ellen was dressed up like a princess, coupled with the fact that her expression and voice were that of an inexperienced girl, they were surprised.

Where is this woman from? Does Mr. Alston like this kind of pretentious woman?

When a crew member heard that she needed water, he promptly passed her a water bottle.

However, Ellen wasn’t willing to take it. She snuggled up to Leo and demanded, “I want you to take it for me, Leo.”

Everyone was stunned.

Oblivious to their awkward expressions, Leo took the water bottle from the crew member and opened the cap.

As though he was worried that Ellen might dampen her clothes, he asked for a cup and filled it with water for her.

An elated Ellen said, “You’re the best, Leo!”

Then, she took the cup and drank the water.

Following that, Leo kept filling the cup for her until she said she was no longer thirsty.

Certainly, the videographer wouldn’t miss such a scene as he found the right angle and started recording them.

Amelie was standing nearby. When she saw what was going on, her gaze darkened.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Blake asked worriedly.

Then, he pointed to the side. “It’s humid here. Why don’t we get some rest under the tree?”

“Okay.”

They then shuffled forward and sat down on the chairs with their backs to the crowd.

The moment Amelie took a seat, she saw Blake passing a water bottle to her.

“Thanks,” she said with a smile.

Blake pressed his lips together and looked down at the ground. “Do you still feel sad?”

“Huh?” Amelie was taking a sip of water when she heard that. It wasn’t until a moment later that she realized what he was talking about. With a smile, she shook her head. “No.”

Despite what she said, the worry on Blake’s face never faded.

A helpless Amelie explained, “We’re divorced. Regardless of how many women are by his side, it has nothing to do with me anymore. I still have a bright future ahead, so why should I feel sad over

something meaningless?”

She was just slightly surprised.

After all, Leo wasn’t a man who would be excessively gentle to a woman.

Back then, he only connived at Elyse’s wrongdoings, but he never served her water before.

“You have a point.” Blake nodded in agreement.

“Ouch! It hurts!”

Just then, someone exclaimed from behind them.

They turned their heads at the same time and saw Leo and Ellen standing behind them.

The moment Amelie met Leo’s eyes, she realized that his face was livid.

Why is he acting like that? Did he hear what I said? Is he mad at me?

“Leo, my head aches badly.” Ellen looked pitifully at Leo and touched her forehead, her eyelashes fluttering.

“Alright.” Without saying anything else, Leo carried her and walked away.

Amelie was stunned.

Was he livid because Ellen had a headache? He’s usually an indifferent man, but he lost his cool when Ellen was in pain. It seems that I’ve underestimated his love for her.

Presently, Ellen stuck close to Leo as she wrapped her arms around his waist. The man supported her weight with his strong arms, and he wasn’t bothered by the attention at all.

“I guess he really loves her.” Amelie sighed.

“Something seems off.” Fiona came over and took Amelie’s hand as they watched Leo leave. There was no doubt she had beautiful eyes.

For some reason, she felt that Leo was only carrying Ellen to make someone jealous.

Meanwhile, Fabian stood in the distance. He wanted to approach them, but he seemed worried.

A moment later, he came up to Blake and spoke to him.

Amelie noticed that even though he was talking to Blake, he was stealing glances at Fiona.

In truth, she already realized that something was going on between Fiona and Fabian when they were shooting the previous episode. Nonetheless, Fabian took the initiative to talk to her most of the time while Fiona rarely responded to him.

“Let’s go. The bus is coming.” Fiona pointed at the bus in the distance and pulled Amelie to somewhere else.

As Fabian watched them walk away, there was a helpless expression on his angular face.

Meanwhile, in the lounge, Ellen leaned against the chair languidly as though she didn’t have a backbone. She took Leo’s arm and rambled on.

“I guess you can’t take part in the show anymore. In that case, I’ll send you home.” Leo retracted his arm and sat down on a chair that was far away from Ellen.

There was no longer any softness behind his gaze as he appeared distant and aloof.

Without the man by her side, Ellen pouted aggrievedly.

He was carrying me gently earlier, but why is he so indifferent now?

However, the moment she met Leo’s dispassionate eyes, she straightened up. “It’s fine. I feel much better now. My head no longer aches.”

Although Ellen loved Leo, she was also afraid of him.

Leo didn’t respond to her. Just then, his phone started ringing.

“Just stay here,” he ordered and strode out of the room.

It wasn’t until he reached somewhere quiet that he connected the call. “Speak.”

“I’ve examined Ellen’s background.” The person on the other end of the line was Victor. “She might not be the girl who used to keep you company back then.”

Leo’s pupils dilated when he heard that as he clenched his phone.

In truth, he had already doubted Ellen’s identity. Although plenty of evidence showed that she was Big Eyes, he still asked Victor to look into the matter.

The truth turned out to be just as he had expected.

“We’ll talk about the details when I go back.”

“Sure,” Victor replied.

After hesitating for a bit, he asked, “Do we have to take Miss Clayton away?”

Leo didn’t immediately respond to him while holding his phone. He couldn’t help but recall the images of Amelie and Blake making out.

A moment later, he replied, “There’s no need for that.”

Jodie took the longest time to put on her makeup, for she wanted to stun everyone with her appearance.

When she was done dressing up, she stepped out of the room and realized everyone was there.

She ran her hand through her wavy hair and bit her lip charmingly. Then, she sashayed forward while clad in a tight-fitting dress.

When she looked at her reflection in the mirror earlier, she was stunned by her own beauty.

Just as she expected, she attracted everyone’s attention at once.

Giada was the first to compliment Jodie, and the others subsequently approached her to praise how gorgeous she looked.

A conceited Jodie lifted her chin, pleased with their compliments.

Nevertheless, the person she wanted to see the most was nowhere in sight.

She couldn’t help looking around for Blake, and when she finally found him, she wasn’t surprised to see a certain woman beside him.

Foxy!

Her alluring face contorted as she dug her nails into her palms. At that moment, she had the urge to strangle Foxy.

What’s going on with Leo? Doesn’t he love Foxy? Why hasn’t he taken this woman away from Blake?

At the thought of this, Jodie hurriedly looked for Leo.

“Jojo, I’ve just realized that your brother is in love with someone else. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Giada came over and wrapped her arm around Jodie’s shoulder without permission. “Seems that after the show ends, you’ll have a new sister-in-law.”

“Huh?”

Just like Melissa, Jodie felt that she was superior to others.

If a woman like Giada had tried to get close to her in the past, she would’ve flared up.

However, she was too stunned to push her away at this moment.

“What do you mean?”

“Look.” Giada pointed in a particular direction.

Jodie looked in the same direction and saw Leo striding forward while a woman followed him.

“They’ve been sticking close to each other since their arrival. Are they also like this when they’re at home?” Giada asked.

Only then did Jodie recall Elyse claiming that this woman was her sister.

She couldn’t believe that her brother had hooked up with the woman.

In that case, who would help her lure Foxy away from Blake?

She took a look at Leo and Ellen before shifting her attention to Foxy and Blake. With reddened eyes, she seemed to be on the brink of breaking into tears.

How can they do this to me? No, I’ll never accept this outcome!

Just then, the director announced, “It’s time to split all of you into different groups.”

An idea suddenly sprang into Jodie’s mind as she strode forward.
