A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Amelie and Toby Are Together

Elyse purposely looked as if she couldn’t read Leo’s mind. With a smile, she continued, “That sounds like good news, though. Remember the huge scandal between Miss Dillon and the boss of Starlight Media? But there was no news about their marriage all this while, so I was quite worried for them. Turns out she is dating Toby Walsh! Heh, Toby used to be such a huge flirt, but now that he’s with Miss Dillon, he doesn’t go around seeing other girls anymore. He must be really into her, huh? Honestly, I’d still feel a little guilty for her if she isn’t able to find another man since you divorced her because of me. It’s good to see them together. Leo, you too don’t have to worry about her anymore. From now on, just focus on living your life with me.”

Leo didn’t respond to her, and his body turned rigid.

Elyse caught his subtle movements but didn’t let it show on her face. Deep down in her heart, however, she felt smug.

Leo would soon find out about the truth between Amelie and the boss of Starlight Media, and since his interest in Amelie was also growing, Elyse took the chance to pair Amelie and Toby up to prevent Leo from having other ideas.

…

After the meal, Toby and Amelie chatted about the ancient shoemaking method that Amelie’s father used.

“We plan to still use the traditional technology for production, and in the sales process, we also hope that you can endorse us,” said Toby.

Since the shoemaking craftsmanship was passed down from her father, Amelie naturally hoped that Toby could carry it forward. Hence, she agreed readily, “You can rest assured. Not only will Foxy fully support it, but I will also send more people to push it to the market.”

“Thanks in advance.” Toby looked at Amelie with a warm gaze.

The two then chatted a little more and left around 4.00PM.

It was time to pick Bria up.

Toby insisted on sending Amelie over. As Amelie’s car was parked elsewhere, and she was still chatting with him, so she nodded and agreed to his offer.

When they arrived at Starlight Media, Bria skipped out of the building.

When she saw Toby, her bright eyes suddenly stopped blinking, and the cheerful expression she had morphed into hostility.

Bria knew Toby was Leo’s friend, and since she was afraid of Leo, she was naturally hostile to any of his friends.

“Hello, Bria,” Toby greeted while walking up to her. His smile was warm and bright.

“Mr. Walsh,” Bria gently greeted him back before running to her mother and hugging her thigh.

“Would you like to go to the amusement park?” asked Toby.

Bria blinked her eyes at him.

When Amelie and Julia brought her to the playground last time, she had so much fun riding the flying planes and trains that those memories still stuck with her.

“Mmhm.” She nodded.

Crouching in front of her, Toby asked, “Shall I bring you there?”

Bria glanced at him and then at Amelie.

A child could not resist the temptation of the amusement park, after all. “Okay,” she replied with a nod. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Amelie objected. “Your time is precious, Mr. Walsh.”

“I’m not as busy as you think.” Stretching his hand out, he hugged Bria in his arms and tapped on her nose gently. “Let’s go.”

Bria hummed and beamed prettily.

Seeing how anticipated Bria was, Amelie decided to stay quiet and followed the two to the playground.

Toby hugged Bria in his arms and went on the merry-go-round, the pirate ship, and many other rides that she had dared not take previously.

Surprisingly, Toby’s embrace was so warm that she realized that she was no longer afraid of riding those attractions.

Somehow, she seemed to become more courageous because of him.

Leaning into Toby’s chest, Bria giggled non-stop.

Amelie, on the other hand, smiled in contentment when she saw how happy her daughter was.

When Toby raised his head to see her, he caught the faint smile on her lips and was slightly taken aback by it.

Even though her smile was faint, it was very gentle, just like a whole hill of cherry blossoms blooming in Spring.

It was tender, yet very charming.

The three hung out together until the night ushered in.

After a few hours of fun and games, Bria had completely fallen for Toby. When they left the amusement park, she took the initiative to hold his hand. Exhausted, she let out a big yawn.

Amelie noticed her weariness, so she crouched down to carry her, but Toby beat her to it and carried her in his arms.

Bria then yawned again, leaned against his shoulder comfortably, and dozed off.

Without a choice, Amelie could only watch over her from the side.

“What a happy family.”

“Oh my god, yes. Both parents are beautiful and handsome, so that must be why their daughter is so pretty!”

“I’m so jealous.”

People from the surroundings started whispering among themselves when they noticed the trio.

Amelie’s face quickly flushed and she was about to explain that they weren’t a family, but she noticed two people walking in their direction.

She couldn’t believe they were Leo and Elyse!

Desperation clouded Amelie’s heart.

She tried so hard to avoid them during the day, so how could they even bump into each other again at night?

These two were the last people she wanted to bump into on earth.

This time, Toby also noticed their presence. Without shying away from them, he walked up and greeted them warmly, “Hey Leo, hey Elyse. What brings you two here?”

Leo didn’t respond but instead focused his gaze on Toby’s chest, where Bria was sleeping soundly. Instantly, his dark orbs turned gloomy.

Leo recalled very clearly how the child was extremely cautious toward himself. Every time she sees me, she reacts as if she sees a ghost!

However, from the looks of it, she wasn’t hostile toward Toby!

And this Amelie seems so delighted over the remarks the passersby made about them being a family!

Subconsciously, Leo’s body went rigid.

Noticing his reaction, Elyse stepped slightly forward to block Leo’s gaze. With a tender smile on her beautiful face, she replied, “I was bored, so I asked Leo to accompany me here.”

Her eyes sparkled, showing off how blissful she felt.

Toby nodded at her. “The amusement park is a great place to date.”

Without denying it, Elyse giggled and smiled even more sweetly.

“Now that we’ve bumped into each other, let’s just hang together. I have some questions for you anyway,” Elyse suggested enthusiastically.

“How about next time?” Toby looked at the child in his arms and declined her offer.

Then, he glanced at Amelie and said, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.” Amelie wiped Bria’s face and nodded before leaving with him.

Throughout the conversation, she never even looked at Elyse and Leo. She regarded them as nothing.

Noticing how Amelie ignored her, Elyse squinted her eyes unhappily.

She was an outstanding girl. Even though she couldn’t defeat Amelie in racing, her acting career was in full swing, and she was pretty well-known in the industry.

That itself was enough to prove that she was way stronger than Amelie.

In addition to that, she came from one of the millionaire families in the city, unlike Amelie who had a father who worked as a shoemaker.

The audacity to pay no attention to me! Elyse was fuming.

At the same time, Leo’s expression didn’t look so good either and the reason behind that was also how Amelie disregarded him.

It wasn’t that he deemed himself as high-class, but he started feeling distressed because of her indifference!

“They look really happy together,” Elyse deliberately remarked and covered her lips as she giggled. “They’ve been stuck together like gum the whole day now. Good news must be coming.”

As soon as she said that, Leo’s phone rang.

He swiped to unlock his phone, and when he read the message, his face immediately fell.
