Chapter 17 Experienced

• Today was the day to sign the contract. Although Jimmy Goldstein was the representative of the collaboration company, he arrived late at 10.00AM. Not only was he late, but he was also wearing a suspender that held his newborn daughter.
• "Sorry, I was feeding my daughter, so I came a few minutes late." Jimmy apologized to those present.
• Even though he had an apologetic look, there was also pride on his face.
• After he finished speaking, he put an arm around the baby and picked up the contract with the other hand. Feeling uncomfortable, the child twisted her little body and whimpered. Jimmy immediately put down the contract and patted the little baby's back to coax her.
• Leo, who was sitting across from him, looked at him with obvious disgust on his face. "The Goldstein Family is huge. Can't you afford a nanny?"
• When Jimmy heard Leo's words, he was not only not ashamed, but he also looked reproachful. "You have a child too. Can't you understand my feelings of becoming a father?"
• His words startled Leo, who did not respond for a long time. Although he became a father, he did not pay much attention to Bria. At the beginning, he was too busy with work and had no time. Later, when the child was older, she would hide every time she saw him. Leo never owed anyone in his life, but he did owe the child.
• "Well, you and Amelie should not have divorced for the sake of the child." After signing the contract, Toby could not help but persuade Leo. "The child is yours. She no longer has a family, so who else will be kind to her? Aren't you afraid that she will become pitiful in the future?"
• "We're already divorced; what's the use of talking about it now?" Leo said sullenly.
• "Can’t you get back together?"
• "It's because she knows they can remarry that Amelie dared to divorce." Ashton spoke up on the other side.
• He slammed his phone against the edge of the chair. "Did you not see what that Dillon woman posted on social media? She took the initiative to clarify the relationship with Blake, saying that they are just ordinary friends and that she has been treating him like a younger brother!"
• Hearing what he said, Toby immediately checked social media. Sure enough, he saw the clarification posted by Amelie through Blake's social media.
• "I can assure you that that Dillon woman will find a way to attend the Entrepreneur Dinner tomorrow night. There, she will apologize to Leo and take advantage of the opportunity to propose remarriage."
• From Ashton's point of view, even the scandals with Jamie and Blake were planned by Amelie in order to agitate Leo and finally remarry Leo.
• "If she really does this, it's a good chance." Toby looked at Leo meaningfully and squeezed his shoulder tightly. "Although she is a bit scheming, she has always been a good woman during the marriage."
• …
• Perhaps because of Ashton's words, Leo's best friends came to the Entrepreneur Dinner the next day. In addition to Toby, Jimmy and Ashton, there were two others who deliberately came back from abroad.
• Sure enough, Amelie really appeared at the venue. Today, she looked pure and lovely. Her white dress came down just enough to cover her knees, and her high heels of the same color complemented her slender and straight legs. As she was slender, she looked willowy and weak like she would be blown away by the wind. The fine makeup on her gorgeous little face was very light, which made her look delicate and fragile as if she needed someone to protect her.
• Ashton raised his chin disdainfully and said, "I guessed it right! Within 30 seconds, she will definitely look for Leo."
• When he said this, the corners of his lips were raised in mockery. As for Leo, he kept drinking with his head down. Although he did not say anything, when he saw Amelie walking toward him, he still gripped the wine glass.
• Observant people would notice that Elyse was not with him as usual. When those around him saw Amelie approaching him, realization dawned on their faces and they waited to watch the show.
• Leo raised his chin habitually. He wanted to see what method Amelie would use to repent of her past mistakes!
• "I've been waiting for you for a long time." Perhaps because of the attire she wore today, Amelie sounded a bit grievous and pitiful when she spoke.
• Leo snorted coldly. "If you don't sincerely admit your mistake, you should..."
• Before he could say the words "go away", he saw Amelie walk straight past him and went toward another man!
• She did not come here for me?
• "Sorry, I was stuck in traffic."
• The man facing Amelie looked mature and responsible, but he had an easy-going smile on his face.
• Everyone was speechless.
• The man who met Amelie was Samuel Gage. It was none other than Julia's fiancé. Of course, he was also a good friend of Amelie. The long friendship between the three of them had long surpassed what was ordinary, and they were as close as family.
• Hence, when the two talked, there was some intimacy between them.
• Amelie was all looking forward to seeing Samuel, so she did not notice Leo when she came over.
• The neglected Leo was dumbfounded.
• "It's a little noisy here; let's go elsewhere for a chat," Samuel said, and the two left together. Although they did not hold hands, the intimacy between the two was enough to make people wonder about their relationship.
• Emotion overcame Leo as he clenched his fists tightly, not even knowing that he had broken the wine glass. Only when the glass piece pierced his skin and the pain came did he look down.
• "Hey, you're injured!"
• A pair of hands reached out and held Leo's hand.
• "Why are you so careless?"
