A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Truly Outstanding

“What’s wrong?”

When Elyse saw his face like this, she turned to look at his phone.

However, he had put away his phone. “I have something urgent to do. You go in alone.”

Without waiting for Elyse’s response, he strode away.

In the private room at Prix Bar.

When Toby walked in, he saw Leo already sitting inside. Leo was wearing a black shirt that contrasted against his fair skin, and his expression was very serious and unhappy.

“Didn’t you accompany Elyse to the funfair? It’s over so soon?” Toby asked, looking slightly surprised.

However, Leo didn’t respond and just drank on his own. After Toby came in, Leo’s brows furrowed even tighter. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Toby didn’t ask any more questions. Toby sat across from him and poured alcohol. He often wore white clothes, and he looked gentle and stylish in his clothes.

Leo’s eyes darkened as they fell on him. “You like Amelie?” he asked.

Toby paused when he poured the alcohol, but it was only for two seconds.

“Yeah.” He gave an affirmative answer.

Leo’s fingers holding the glass suddenly tightened as his knuckles turned white. The thin glass nearly broke under his forceful grip.

“She’s such a nasty woman; what do you like about her?” he asked with a snort.

He gritted his teeth as he continued, “When did your tastes become so bad?”

Toby’s fingers also clenched hard at that, and a slight displeasure appeared on his face. His displeasure came from Leo’s evaluation of Amelie. However, he didn’t point it out but instead smiled. “I think my tastes have improved. In your opinion, Amelie is a nasty woman, but in my opinion, she is truly outstanding.”

Leo stiffened, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Even though Amelie had changed a lot after the divorce, he definitely didn’t think that this woman was outstanding.

“Since when did you start falling in love with her?” He lowered his head and sipped his wine, pretending to be indifferent.

Toby narrowed his eyes slightly. His long eyelashes overshadowed his gaze while he thought carefully. “When did I fall in love with her? It was probably when she knelt on the ground covered in blood and begged the doctor to draw her own blood to save her daughter. The doctor refused, and she cut herself to give the blood to her daughter.”

Leo’s lips paused on the rim of the glass when he heard that. It was as if someone had hit his back hard with a stick, and his whole body was numb from the pain. After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at Toby with shocked eyes. Toby had mentioned this before, but he had never spoken so clearly before.

Amelie even cut herself?

Toby was deep in his thoughts and wasn’t paying attention to Leo’s reaction. He continued, “In other people’s eyes, she is crazy, but to me, she is a mother who is strong for her child and can do anything for her child. She may have made mistakes, but how bad can a woman who can devote herself to her child to this extent be? Saving her daughter without consideration of her own life is enough to show that she loves this child a lot, and she probably loves the person who gave her this child a lot too.”
