A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 210

Amelie and Toby went to the hospital.

Under the cold, harsh light of the hospital, Amelie stood quietly and watched as the doctor tended to Toby’s wounds.

She saw Toby’s jaw twitching in pain multiple times. Even so, he didn’t make a sound.

A little while later, they both walked out of the hospital. Amelie turned to look at Toby, who was covered in bandages all over. “Why did you get into a fight?”

Toby averted his eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly. “It’s no big deal. It was just a personal disagreement.”

The more he tried to make light of it, the more Amelie became suspicious. She knew Toby as someone with a gentle personality who wouldn’t get into fights with anyone. Furthermore, Leo was his friend and business partner. There’s no reason why they’d get into a fight out of the blue.

However, as Toby wasn’t inclined to explain any further, Amelie didn’t continue pressing him. At the end of the day, their relationship wasn’t deep enough for either one to pry into the other’s private matters.

“Why don’t I drop you off?” Amelie asked as she walked over to the car. Toby agreed, but he jumped into the driver’s seat. “I’ll drive.”

After all the commotion tonight, Amelie wasn’t in the mood to stand on ceremony with him, so she only hesitated briefly before getting into the front passenger seat. A yawn escaped Amelie, and she began to feel a little drowsy.

All of a sudden, Toby leaned over.

Amelie’s gaze cleared a little. She saw him looming in front of her as his arms rested beside her.

Their breaths clashed.

She nervously shrank back into her seat and was about to speak when she heard a click.

“You forgot to wear your seatbelt,” she heard his gentle voice saying.

“Oh,” Amelie said a little belatedly.

Toby didn’t move away at once but looked down at her. “What did you think I was going to do?”

“Nothing.” Amelie brushed her fingers through her hair as she thought to herself, There’s something unusual about Toby today. Usually, he would maintain proper decorum and a polite distance between them, but he kept encroaching into her personal space today.

Amelie was just about to push Toby away when he retreated on his own accord and started driving.

Meanwhile, across from where the car was parked, two men walked over.

The coat of the man in front flapped against the wind and exposed his long legs.

Leo came to an abrupt halt. Eugene, who was right behind him, nearly crashed into him and had to rear himself back a little to prevent doing so.

Eugene noticed that Leo was staring at the parking lot, so he looked over curiously, but all he saw was an empty parking spot. Eugene scratched his head. What’s he looking at? There’s nothing there.

Leo’s mouth tightened, and he clenched his fists. It had only been for a brief moment, but he had seen the position Toby and Amelie had been in. Amelie didn’t push Toby away, even though he was so near her. Does she really like him that much?

Eugene didn’t know what Leo had seen so he had no idea what Leo was thinking about. However, he could sense the cold air emanating off of Leo and saw the way Leo’s expression hardened. Thus, he dared not say anything and simply stood behind Leo in silence.

Amelie napped for a while. When she woke up, she was surprised to find that the car had stopped outside her residence.

It took an hour to drive from Clouson City to Halport. Moreover, she said she was going to drop Toby off at his place.

“You were sleeping so soundly that I couldn’t bring myself to disturb you,” Toby said warmly.

Amelie looked up and saw Toby looking at her with a soft gaze in his eyes. He had a smile on his face that made his features look even more gentle.

They were already at Amelie’s doorstep, so there was no point for her to comment on it. “Oh,” she acknowledged. “How are you going to head home?”

Toby shrugged non-committedly.

“Why don’t you drive my car back?” He did drive me home. I can’t possibly ask him to get a cab.

Toby looked like a mess. It was as if he had been robbed earlier, so few drivers would be willing to stop for him.
