Chapter 51

Not Everyone Has the Right to Be Hindered by Her
With that and a casual flick on the sleeve, Ashton continued, “Amelie, if you’re doing this just to get Leo
back, you’re overestimating yourself. However, if you simply want to hinder us, I guess I really was
hindered.”
Even though Ashton had his head lowered, there was a piercing look in his eyes. His disdain for Amelie
was laid completely bare, as if she were an impurity that shouldn’t be brought to light.
Just now, Amelie saw Leo and Elyse wholly by accident, not having any other intentions. However,
when she heard Ashton’s unwelcoming words, she frowned ever so slightly.
“Amy was originally—” Matthew wanted to explain.
Amelie pulled him forcefully, stopping him from talking.
She didn’t look at Ashton either as she said calmly, “The world is so huge, so why are you guys allowed
to come, but I’m not? Who made the rules?” She paused for a bit, then continued, “Also, I won’t just
trouble anyone. Before jumping to conclusions, why don’t you reflect on yourself and see if you actually
have the right to be hindered by me?”
“You!” Ashton’s words were stopped dead in their tracks, and his face turned green and then white, the
veins on his face pulsing visibly!
Amelie’s words were most definitely a cruel insult to him.
He was the young master of the Lowe Family, so how could he not have the right to endure her
hindrances? With his status as the young master of the Lowe Family, Ashton was always prioritized
and respected outside. Hence, no one had talked to him like that before.
Ashton was so pissed that even his fists were clenched.
Amelie couldn’t care less about his feelings. When she had finished talking, she looked at Matthew.
“Are you going back? Why don’t you give me a ride?”
Hearing that Amelie requested a ride in his car of her own accord, Matthew was obviously elated.
“Sure, sure.”
With that, he ran to open the door for the passenger seat, allowing her to ride shotgun. That spot was



rumored to be reserved for only the closest of people. Amelie didn’t say anything as she lowered her
head and went inside.
The car started up, then drove away. Throughout the entire process, Amelie never turned back, nor did
she take another glance at the three people she left behind.
“That Amelie should be sentenced to death!” Ashton flew into a rage all on his own, then fiercely kicked
a pebble by the road.
Elyse looked carefully at Leo. Seeing his sullen expression, she couldn’t help but feel her heart sink.
Her expression hadn’t changed, though, as she smiled gently. “I can see that Miss Dillon has already
decided to start a new life. This man comes from a decent family, and he’s also the richest man in the
village. Miss Dillon will be fortunate to be with him.”
It was futile to ask her how she knew Matthew was the richest person, for there was a lot about her she
would never tell a single soul.
“Shameless!” In Ashton’s eyes, Amelie was a woman who would flirt with anyone who had enough
wealth, so he cursed sullenly under his breath.
“What’s so fun about this stupid place? Let’s go back.”
Elyse couldn’t have asked for more. She glanced at Leo, but the latter didn’t voice any opinions.
Therefore, she could only relent and say, “Leo, let’s go into town and settle down.”
Leo finally moved. He dipped his head to get into the car, and Elyse followed suit.
When the car started up, the thoughts weighing on her chest were still there. She couldn’t help but turn
to look at Leo. “Leo, why did you come here out of the blue?”
Leo asked her to go somewhere with him, and Elyse thought it would be somewhere near Sterlington.
She never expected she’d visit a remote village; hence, when the car drove into the small town, her
face turned pale because a remote location was the last place she’d visit on her own accord.
Leo turned to look at her. His gaze was dark, but a hint of confusion tinted his eyes. “You don’t like it?”
Elyse opened her mouth to admit it, but then she remembered she was trying to fight for his change of
heart. She couldn’t just do whatever she wanted like before, so she hastily changed her mind. “Why
wouldn’t I?”



Leo keenly noticed her forced attitude, and more confusion surfaced in his eyes.
In his memories, whenever that girl mentioned this land, her expressions would bloom.
…
Amelie sat in Matthew’s car for a while, and before they made it to her home, she told him to pull up.
Matthew was enthusiastic, listening to all her words. “Amy, why don’t you come over to my house
tomorrow? My mom likes you quite a lot too. If you don’t feel comfortable with that, you can visit my
breeding plant for a tour. Oh, right, I heard you singing just now. It sounds very nice.”
His gaze was filled with longing, and everything he said was an expression of his love for her. He was
also hinting that his family wouldn’t mind her marrying again and that he was wealthy enough to
support her life.
Amelie knew that Matthew was sincere, but she smiled and shook her head. “It’s okay, thanks.”
She turned around and looked earnestly at Matthew. “Matthew, you’re a good man. You deserve love
from a good girl.”
“You’re a good girl too, really!” Matthew thought she was looking down on herself, so he hastily spoke.
Amelie pursed her lips because she had never once looked down on herself. The closest thing she did
was to humble herself in the Alston Family for the sake of love.
“What I mean is, I just want to live my life in peace with my daughter. I don’t have any plans to marry for
now. Don’t waste your time on me. You don’t have to.”
The smile instantly disappeared from Matthew’s face, leaving behind endless despair in the end.
Amelie lowered her head in apology, after which she agilely opened the car door and got out.
Fortunately, Matthew wasn’t the persistent type, so he didn’t run after her.
Amelie was happy and content with her freedom alone. When she walked home, there was a lock on
the door.
She took out her phone and saw a voice message from Bria, informing her that Bria and Steven had
gone into the mountains for birdwatching.
The little girl was full of curiosity toward everything in the village, and Steven was also willing to bring
her everywhere, so Bria actually chose her grandfather over her own mother.



Unable to get into the house, Amelie walked out aimlessly. When she stopped walking, she suddenly
found herself standing at the entrance of the town hospital.
The hospital had undergone drastic changes all these years. The building was obviously taller, and
elevators were installed as well. The only unchanging feature was the huge yard at the back.
When she saw that spot, the look in her eyes darkened as her feet subconsciously carried her in.
The yard looked the same as before, with some simple potted plants and a few pine trees.
She wasn’t sure if the trees stopped growing taller, or they wilted and were replaced, or they were just
like before, not much taller than a person.
In that tiny haven, under the potted plants and the small pines, lay her countless beautiful memories.
Perhaps it was because of her encounter with Leo, for her heart grew weary again.
She walked under the tree, feeling as if she saw a young boy and a young girl leaning against each
other.
Two youngsters burdened with sin, sharing their warmth in that manner.
When she met Leo, she was also in a dark place. She was in her teens, and she was so sensitive then,
but that was when she suddenly learned that her mother had died because of her.
With that feeling, she might as well have killed her mother with her own hands.
Even though her father never blamed her, the hateful glares from people around her were even sharper
than a knife.
It was especially so for her grandmother, who had lost her mind. Every time Amelie saw her, she would
strangle Amelie’s neck and call her a murderer. In the end, her grandmother died because she fell
down while looking for her daughter.
The multiple layers of sin were piled onto her body, and she really felt like she was a sinner. As for
Leo…
“Big Eyes?”
Behind her, someone called out. This voice was like a spell, jerking Amelie awake from her stupor. She
turned around in disbelief to see Leo standing behind her, looking at her with a deep gaze. He called
her ‘Big Eyes’!



Did he… recognize me?
Her heart suddenly raced, thumping as if it were a drum!
Tears were already filling her eyes.
