A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 201

Their gazes met, and Leo’s expression was in its weirdest state as it froze on his face.

Likewise, Amelie was stunned for a moment.

She never expected Leo to come upstairs, much less think that he would be smiling at her.

But then, she quickly remembered a news article she saw a while back.

In the article, Elyse mentioned that their wedding date was near; he was probably happy because Elyse finally agreed to marry him.

In the end, everyone loved the story where Elyse only agreed to an engagement despite a marriage proposal on the top floor.

When Amelie thought about that, the surprise in her eyes faded as she asked politely, “Is something the matter, Mr. Alston?”

Amelie had been smiling happily when she faced the screen and all those strangers. But now that she was facing him, she had a cold expression.

The stark contrast made Leo feel extremely uneasy, but he couldn’t say anything about it. He simply told Amelie about Bria’s request.

Amelie grunted in response, took the huge doll, and passed it to him. She couldn’t help but think that Leo must love Elyse very much, for he could get lost in thought while thinking about his marriage during short moments like fetching stuff.

She still bore a grudge since Elyse had been targeting her and almost killed Bria because of Leo. Now that they were getting married, Amelie felt that it was all the more reason for her to avoid him.

As such, she said, “Mr. Alston, if you don’t have any other business in the future, you’d better not come here anymore.”

Leo was already brooding, so when he heard her sudden words, his facial features became even more twisted as he looked at her. “What do you mean?”

Amelie couldn’t understand his anger, so she explained kindly, “You’re going to marry Miss Clayton soon, so it won’t be appropriate for you to keep coming. If you want to see Bria, you can always give me a call, and I’ll arrange for you to meet her outside.”

“Marry?” Leo was bewildered for a moment.

It hadn’t even crossed his mind that he would be marrying Elyse.

“Just because of that?” At that thought, he noticed that his mood was unspeakably brightening up.

Amelie nodded matter-of-factly. “Of course.”

Since Elyse could do something so vicious simply because she hated Amelie, Elyse might go berserk if Amelie continued getting involved with Leo.

Even though Amelie cared about Bria’s feelings, she didn’t want to court death if she could help it.

After saying everything she was supposed to, Amelie ended the conversation and noticed his silence, assuming that he had acknowledged her intentions.

…

At night, Leo went to Prix Bar.

“Long time no see. I thought you’d never come back.” When Toby saw him, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Toby noticed a slight curve in Leo’s lips, and he was a little stunned as he said, “Are you in a good mood?”

His phone was propped up in front of him, and a video was playing.

Leo didn’t respond as he lowered himself into a seat.

His gaze fell upon Toby’s phone screen, and he immediately spotted the people on the screen.

It was Amelie in her fox mask, and next to her was Bria; she was wearing her fox mask as well.

In the comments, the fans were all encouraging Bria because they heard that Bria was recently injured.

Bria’s exposed eyes were glittering like stars in the sky. Her tiny mouth opened to reveal a set of pretty teeth as she cutely thanked everyone.

Her sweet, crisp voice and positive attitude made the fans adore her even more, and they wished they could just take her home to raise as their own.

Leo watched Bria for a moment, but he couldn’t help focusing his attention on the woman next to her.

Amelie had just streamed earlier in the day, but now, she remained spirited as she thanked everyone for their concern. She also gave them an update on Bria’s recovery.

Similarly, her eyes were shining as if there were stars in them.

Leo had the urge to reach out and put the stars in his pocket—he didn’t know why, though. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In the past, even just a glance at Amelie would fill him with annoyance and disgust.

But now, even though he had just met her earlier in the day, he still found it refreshing to see her through the screen.

He wanted to see her more often.

Even Leo himself wasn’t quite sure when this change started.

Toby quietly observed Leo’s expressions, his gaze darkening as he said, “I heard you’re getting married. Congratulations.”

Because of those words, the gentle light in Leo’s eyes slowly turned cold before it disappeared without a trace. “You’ve been mistaken,” he said calmly. He didn’t have to explain too much, for everything was apparent.

“If Elyse hears that, she’ll be so sad.”

Leo didn’t respond.

However, the look in his eyes when he gazed at Amelie was obvious enough, and Toby could see that.

“Will you be getting back together with Amelie?” he directly asked.

“That’s impossible!” Leo was stunned for a moment before he finally spoke up.

Even though his view of Amelie had changed a lot, it wasn’t to the point of loving her.

Leo had just finished speaking when a crisp voice sounded from the phone. “Mommy, my homeroom teacher called today and said that we’ll be holding an event next week. She said our mommies and daddies can join the event with us. Will Daddy agree to come?”

Joining a school event together?

Me and Amelie?

Leo had never imagined this sort of thing before, and he couldn’t help but wait for Amelie’s response.

Amelie was also stunned by the question.

She never expected Bria to ask about this while they were streaming.

On the first day of Amelie’s return, she announced her divorce, so the fans already knew about it.

When the fans heard Bria asking that question, they sent tons of comments to voice their opinions.

‘That jerk has no right to join Baby Fox’s event after abandoning Foxy and Baby Fox!’

‘I strongly object to it!’

Leo also saw those comments, and the expression on his stern and handsome face quickly darkened.

Was he being objected to?

It was Toby’s first time seeing such a foul expression on Leo’s face. He suddenly found it amusing and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

‘Baby Fox, if you’re willing, I can stand in as your dad and join the school event with you.’

Soon, people began to volunteer themselves.

However, most of the fans immediately rejected the suggestions.

‘Foxy and Baby Fox are so pretty and outstanding; normal people aren’t worthy of them. We have to find someone on their level.’

‘Yeah, you’re right.’

The fans were terrifyingly passionate about this, and in just a split second, they began coming up with suggestions.

They started listing out all the celebrities, both internet and conventional.

Amelie was speechless.

The child had put her in a tight spot.

Bria probably didn’t expect her question to cause such a huge commotion. She blinked her huge, curious eyes as she diligently read the comments.

She was still young, and she had a limited vocabulary. She was focusing all her attention on reading the comments, so she couldn’t think of anything else.

Just as everyone was voicing their own opinions, a message flew into view. ‘Is it okay if I volunteer?’

‘Wow, it’s Blakey! Blake Gareth!’

Blake’s comment immediately caused an uproar as comments rapidly flew across the screen.

People loved Blake because he was clean, perfect, and gentle—just like a prince. Also, his figure skating performances were always memorable, and he was quite friendly when interacting with others as well. He truly was the nation’s idol.

At that moment, Amelie only felt confused.

Within five minutes, the opinions on the screen all united as the fans spammed, ‘Yes! Yes!’

Amelie was speechless.

They made it sound like a proposal, of all things.

The fans were simply too enthusiastic, and she could barely hold the fort.

Before she could say anything, the fans had already agreed in her stead, and it seemed like she was unable to reject the idea.

Some fans even publicly announced that if she didn’t agree to it, they would stop watching her streams.

After saying that, though, they begged pitifully, ‘Are you so cruel that you’d make us stop watching your streams? Would you rob us of this happiness?’

Amelie didn’t know what to say.

The fans in this field were too difficult to please.

From the beginning, Leo hadn’t missed anything on the screen.

The more he saw, the graver his expression became.
