A Matter of Wife and Love
Chapter 255

Everyone was herded to a minibus as the cameraman filmed. The celebrities stood at the minibus door, cooperating with the cameraman as they posed and discussed what the so-called 'Love vs. Wild' program was about. The host then held up his phone to broadcast the live situation and interacted with the fans watching on the live platform.

On the other hand, Amelie was not interested in gaining fame that way and avoided the cameras whenever possible. Then, she stayed in the restroom for a while, estimating that everyone had probably boarded the bus before she came out.

As she walked to the door, she unexpectedly saw a figure standing in the corridor smoking with his head down. The person seemed to have heard her footsteps and looked back, only to meet her gaze. His eyes were calm and indifferent but with a hint of depth, and his handsome face was as serious as ever. His thin lips parted to exhale slight smoke, adding a touch of sensuality to him.

Leo rarely smoked, so the sight surprised her. After a moment of daze, she nodded lightly as a greeting and walked past him. However, he followed her and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to participate in the program?"

His clear voice was slightly hoarse due to smoking. Amelie, momentarily taken aback by his inquiry, turned to face him. She didn't expect him to ask this question because she didn't believe that he had not seen the scene where Elyse was KO'd by her, so he was asking the obvious.

Since he wanted to play dumb, she would play dumb too.

The corners of her lips under her mask slightly curled up, "Is it wrong for me to increase my popularity?"

When she was done talking, she noticed a slight curve in Leo's lips. He's actually smiling! He could smile?

She was shocked and couldn't figure out which sentence she had said that could touch his funny bone. In her memory, he had a high threshold for humor.

"Don't get too close to Blake." His voice came again with a hint of warning. "Bria must only recognize me as her father, and there can be no one else except me."

Is Leo suspecting that something is going on between Blake and me? Is he an idiot? He flaunted his new relationship and went out to protect Elyse, but he wanted me to stay chaste and be an excellent mother to his child?

"Hmph!" Amelie sarcastically snorted. Regardless of whether or not I ever decide to date again, I will not listen to his advice because he lacks credibility.

Without even wanting to say another word to him, she turned her head and walked toward the bus. There wasn't much room on the bus, and soon all available seats were taken except Elyse and Jodie's. Nonetheless, she didn't want to sit with these two, so she walked to the last row of seats. There were five seats, and Blake had already taken one. Seeing her, he smiled shyly and pointed to the window seat beside him. That was the one he had thoughtfully reserved for her.

However, she walked over without much thought. Before she could sit down, her arm was grabbed, and her body was forcefully pulled away. A figure then bumped past her left shoulder and sat in the seat. "I have motion sickness, so I want to sit here."

Thus, Amelie was thrown off balance and nearly fell, but Blake caught her in time. When she glanced over, she noticed that Jodie was competing with her for the seat. Then, Jodie lifted her chin and crossed her arms, looking like a spoiled little princess.

Seeing that, Amelie furrowed her brow but didn't want to make a scene, so she looked for another seat.

On the other hand, Leo had stepped into the bus. When he saw Jodie, he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Why don't we sit in the front?" Amelie suggested. Since Jodie occupied that seat, she left two side-by-side seats vacant in front. Hence, Blake nodded, and the two took the seats in the row where Jodie had previously sat.

When Jodie saw that, she was speechless. She widened her eyes and was so angry she almost cried. I've come to claim this seat because I'd like to sit with Blake, and now he's... Amelie, that despicable wretch!

She would have uttered profanity if the camera hadn't been rolling. Although no one said anything, they all knew what was going on. Everyone knew Jodie liked Blake, but he seemed particularly caring toward Foxy.

"Are you close with Miss Foxy, Blakey?" The male host couldn't help but ask in a gossipy manner.

Blake's clean lips curved into his signature shy smile. "Yeah."

His eyes shone, and he didn't hide his feelings. It was so pure that it didn't allow people to have dirty thoughts. After a moment of hesitation, the host didn't ask further. Amelie didn't think much of it either. Blake was indeed close to her, so it was no big deal.

However, standing in the aisle, Leo looked even gloomier, especially when he saw her acting as if nothing had happened. His eyes darkened, and a strange chill emanated from his body, causing the bus' temperature to drop instantly. Soon, several female celebrities who couldn't stand the cold began rubbing their arms.

Then, he stood still, only a few paces from Amelie and Blake. His actions made others wonder if he also had feelings for Foxy. Nevertheless, Blake seemed to not feel Leo's gaze but instead nonchalantly took out a thin blanket from his bag and covered Amelie with it. "The aircon in the bus is cold, so be careful and don't catch a cold."

"Thanks." She smiled happily and touched the corner of the blanket, looking grateful under the mask. Blakey is so thoughtful that whoever marries him in the future will definitely be pampered.

In her mind, Blake was her little brother for life, and since he was usually thoughtful like that, she didn't give it much thought.

"You should cover yourself too." She gave him half of the blanket.

His health wasn't good as he had asthma, and low temperatures could easily trigger his discomfort. Seeing that, Leo's pupils suddenly contracted as they fixed on the blanket, looking like they were about to burst into flames! His long fingers suddenly reached for the blanket.

"Leony!" His outstretched hand was intercepted by Elyse. The bus began to shake at that moment, and she stumbled into his arms. From another angle, it looked like he had already predicted that she would fall and had reached out to hold her in advance. Then, he silently pushed her away. Although he didn't reach out for the blanket again, his gaze was menacing. She sat down, and it appeared as if she had held onto him before sitting down, so no one would have known he had pushed her away.

Then, she smiled brightly and said, "I saved this seat for you. I guessed right that you couldn't replace a seat." She pointed to the empty seat beside her.

"Leo." Behind them, Jodie was all alone. She looked at Leo with red eyes and a sad expression, sending him a distress signal. As soon as Jodie came, Blake and Amelie switched seats and sat up front, which was like a slap in her face. She was used to being a pampered lady and couldn't stand this kind of injustice. Moreover, she felt like her reputation had been completely destroyed, so she eagerly awaited Leo to help her. Nonetheless, Leo silently looked at his sister, then sat behind Amelie.

In the end, he chooses Elyse. Amelie silently snorted to herself. Even though she knew he cherished Elyse, she was still surprised. His love for Elyse has already surpassed kinship. Impressive!

Meanwhile, in the back seat, Elyse saw Leo sit down, and the boulder on her chest slowly lifted. She knew better than anyone what her current relationship with him was like. If it wasn't for the program team not being able to replace other actresses and asking her back, she wouldn't have had the chance to stand next to him. It was her last chance to turn things around.
