Chapter 5

“Bria!” It wasn’t until Amelie called out that the girl regained her spirits and rushed toward her.

“Mommy!” Amelie crouched down and hugged Bria.

Julia came over as well and said, “Hello, Bria.

My name is Julia.

Can we be friends?” Bria was Amelie and Leo’s child, as well as the ‘darling’ Julia mentioned earlier.

On the night of her wedding ceremony, Amelie slept with Leo and fell pregnant.

Since she was already married to Leo, it was understood that she would deliver the child.

In their four years of marriage, he had never once slept with her as the relationship between husband
and wife disintegrated, which gave rise to Bria’s timid personality.

When Amelie thought about how the family environment would not benefit Bria’s upbringing, she had no
choice but to select an on-campus kindergarten.

That was the reason why Bria would only return home during weekends.

Bria looked at Julia with unease.

It wasn’t until Amelie gave her an approving look did she nod.

“You can.” “That’s great.

Let me treat you to a meal.” Julia took the initiative to take Bria into her arms to allow Amelie to drive.

Amelie did not hold herself back either.

She floored the gas and savored the long-lost pleasure of racing.



Not long after they left, the car from the Alstons arrived at Star Kindergarten.

Leo, who had always been swamped with work, lowered his head to deal with the paperwork in hand
with indifference.

The butler alighted from the car alone.

He returned moments later to report, “The teacher mentioned that Mrs. Alston has taken Bria home.”
Leo’s fingers slightly sank as a cold light flashed on his indifferent face.

“It’s obvious that Mrs. Alston doesn’t want to divorce you.

Bringing the child home should be a sign that she wants to reconcile,” the butler said with a sigh of relief
and looked at Leo.

He was waiting for Leo to give an order to bring both Amelie and Bria home.

“Head back!” an indifferent Leo ordered with tightly furrowed brows.

He wanted Amelie to return home on her own accord.

He wanted her to know that she should live an honest life instead of resorting to dirty tactics! Time flew
by.

Thirty days passed in the blink of an eye.

Tomorrow would be the day that she would have the divorce certificate, certifying that she was legally
divorced from Leo.

Amelie seemed calm, but it was probably because she had long accepted the fact that she was divorced.

After coaxing Bria to sleep, she and Julia sat in the living room to have a chat and some wine.



During this period of time, she had spent most of her time accompanying Bria in an attempt to make up
for what was owed to Bria over the years.

When she noticed the smile on Bria’s face growing wider day by day, she felt relieved and that it was a
wise move to leave Leo.

“Everyone is wondering why I’m back.

The reason is actually simple.

This is my home, the place where I belong.” The two of them were chatting when a beautiful voice
suddenly interrupted them.

Amelie couldn’t help but raise her head to look at the TV opposite them.

On the screen was Elyse smiling with affection.

Many reporters stood in front of her as the cameras flashed.

“In other words, Miss Clayton has found her soulmate, in this city no less?” The reporters were so sharp
with their hearing that they caught the undertone in her voice and asked.

Elyse smiled in silence, but the upward arc of the corners of her lips revealed everything.

“It was such a scandal back then.

If it hadn’t been for you, she would have lost everything.

Yet, she’s back to ruin your family, as if nothing had ever happened.

Such a shameless b*tch!” Julia also saw Elyse’s conduct on TV and commented angrily, “She’s a
disgusting woman, and yet Leo treats her like gold.



He’s really not scared of playing with fire by returning to his ex.” She slammed her cup on the table with a
bang.

“If I were him, I would have chosen you over her!” As Amelie listened to Julia’s words, she smiled
helplessly.

“Maybe this is the difference between loving and not loving someone.” Leo loved Elyse, so he could
forgive her betrayal four years ago.

On the contrary, he didn’t love Amelie, so he couldn’t be bothered to listen to her explanation for getting
into his bed, which wasn’t to get married to him.

“Even though you guys are divorced, we can’t let that b*stard couple lead a happy life!” Julia had a
straightforward personality and was someone who would air her grievances clearly.

Right now, she had her hands on her hips, looking intimidating.

Amelie, on the other hand, was indifferent.

“Whether they live happy lives has nothing to do with me.

All that matters is whether I have a good life with Bria.” Yet, when she remembered that she hadn’t
informed Bria of the divorce, she felt burdened.

The next morning.

Like his normal routine, Leo headed downstairs in his neat attire and tidy cuffs with a stoic face.

“Sir, Mrs. Alston’s on the line.” The butler, Mr. Cooper, came over in excitement.

Leo took over the phone, but remained silent.



On the other end of the line was Amelie, whose voice was calm and polite.

“When are you free? I’m waiting at the cafe below your office.” He looked up at the calendar hanging on
the wall. You finally can’t endure it after more than 20 days? When she said that she was at the cafe, he
took it for granted that she wanted to meet up to apologize for her mistake and make up with him.

He didn’t answer and couldn’t be bothered to listen to her words, so he dropped the call.

When Amelie heard no response from him, she had no idea what he meant.

Although she knew that he would definitely obtain a divorce, she wanted to resolve the matter as soon as
possible, thus decided to wait at his company.

When Leo’s car arrived, Leo spotted the slender figure waiting at the company with a glance.

He snorted imperceptibly, his brows already raised in disgust.

The look on her face now that she couldn’t wait to admit to her mistake was just as revolting as her
arrogant look in the beginning! Joy spread on Amelie’s face when she spotted him.

“You’re here.” An indifferent Leo replied, “Why did you do it when you are aware of such consequences?”
She was stunned as she couldn’t decipher his meaning, but she couldn’t care less and said, “Let’s take
this to the cafe.” Leo was not in the mood to waste an extra second on her, so he barked, “If there’s
anything, let’s discuss it here!” “That’d be great too.” Since he didn’t mind that everyone would find out
about their divorce, Amelie naturally shared his sentiment.

She quickly turned on her tablet and connected to a video interface.

“The Civil Affairs Bureau understands that everyone has their commitments, so they have introduced a
video system whereby their staff can confirm our identities.



We only need to press the button to confirm that we are who we say we are and the divorce certificate
will be delivered to our houses.

There’s no need to go through the trouble of collecting it.” If she had to be honest, such a service was
extremely convenient.

Leo was speechless.

He thought that Amelie wanted to make amends, but it turned out that… it was to obtain a divorce
certificate! A middle-aged woman’s face immediately appeared on the screen.

She asked with a loud voice, “Leo Alston, Amelie Dillon, are you sure you guys want to divorce?”
Because the lady was using a microphone on the other end, and the build quality of Amelie’s tablet was
top-notch, the lady’s voice was projected loud and clear.

The surrounding employees rushing to work suddenly heard the question and turned to look at them in
surprise.

“Yes.” There was no hesitance in Amelie’s voice as she pressed the ‘confirm’ button.

Leo was still stunned.

When he looked at the button and the woman in front of him who did not hesitate whatsoever, his gaze
darkened to the maximum.
