A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 257

“Blakey, you’re thinking the same thing as me, right?” Jodie couldn’t contain her excitement and asked eagerly. She was confident in her decision-making skills and knew that not only would he agree with her, but he would also find her quite remarkable. Suddenly, she felt a surge of confidence and tossed her long hair gracefully.

“I believe—” Blake flashed a gentle grin, and his pure and meek expression drew everyone’s attention.

When she heard the word he said, she jumped up with joy. “I knew it—”

“That Miss Foxy’s analysis is correct.”

“What?” Jodie’s excitement came to a sudden stop. Thinking she must have heard wrong, she looked at him in disbelief.

However, Blake’s eyes fell softly on Amelie. One could practically see his attraction to Foxy… Who would believe that he had no interest in her?

Nevertheless, Jodie had long suspected it, and now that his gaze was so candid, she was so angry that she nearly exploded. Then, she shouted, “Leo!”

Meanwhile, Leo stood silently, and his gaze was also fixed on Amelie. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn’t expect her to say what he wanted to say first. When he learned that she was Foxy, he only thought she was pretty talented, but he soon realized that her thinking was so sharp and intelligent. “She’s right,” he responded to Jodie after a while.

I can’t say I blame Blake for siding with this woman, but even my brother sided with her! Still, Jodie couldn’t figure it out. What kind of monster is this woman?

Then, she glared fiercely at Amelie. Receiving her death stare, Amelie shrugged silently. It’s a good thing I wore the mask here. If my true identity is revealed, Jodie’s anger might double.

“Since that’s the case, let’s make some food first. I’ll wash the vegetables.” Elyse quickly brought out a basin of greens and spoke up. Then, she cleverly blocked Leo’s view of Amelie when she walked by the two.

When Fabian saw that everyone had decided, he quickly assigned tasks. The girls and Chester went to look for a water source and wash the vegetables. At the same time, the remaining men set off toward the distant building to see if it could be used. Nonetheless, Jodie naturally didn’t want to do any hard work. When Leo and the others left, she angrily got on the bus and went to sleep. Hence, Amelie didn’t bother with her and took out a basket of vegetables to wash.

“Let’s do it together,” Giada walked over, happily linking her arm with Amelie’s as if she had forgotten all about her earlier disdain for Amelie.

The water source wasn’t difficult to find, but the area was desolate. Since Amelie grew up in the countryside and had experience, she led the group in clearing a road without the proper equipment. In the end, she ended up taking over as leader of the small group, which had been led by Chester. After a while, they finally arrived at the water’s edge. The water was not polluted and was crystal clear, which excited Elyse, Chester, and a few others who went to play in the water.

Meanwhile, Amelie silently walked to the higher ground and washed the vegetables with her head down.

Then, Giada held a tomato in her hand, looked around, and squatted down after making sure no one was paying attention. She gently tapped Amelie and said, “That Mr. Alston is so impressive. Although he’s stern, his decisions are accurate and amazing. No wonder his company can be so successful. He’s such a great man! Don’t you find him attractive?”

Amelie smiled absent-mindedly and replied, “Not really.” She used to find him attractive, but that was in the past.

“You’re so smart. How come you have no ambition at all?” Giada pushed her in disapproval. “I’ve seen him glance at you a few times.”
