A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 His Attention on Her

“I’m scared, Leo.” Ellen was trembling in fear, looking like a scared kitten. She curled up in Leo’s embrace as she mumbled, “Snakes are scary. I’m afraid of snakes.”

Amelie looked at her speechlessly. We’re standing on a big path here. No snakes will take up residence in a place without grass. Only Leo will believe something that stupid, but what do I care? It’s their relationship and their fun. She turned around and resumed picking leaves.

The moment Amelie turned around, Leo frowned hard, his expression black as thunder. “Then f*ck off!” he said coldly.

Ellen froze and looked at him in disbelief. But he was so nice to me a while ago! What happened? Like a child who got scolded by her parents, she teared up.

However, Leo spared her no sympathy. He entered the mountain and the moment he did, he heard gasps of pain. When Leo raised his head, he was met with Amelie and Fiona jumping around.

“I stepped on an anthill!” Amelie gasped, her voice trembling, though she wasn’t exaggerating her reaction.

Yet, it worried Leo and he quickly ran toward her.

Amelie and Fiona ran in different directions, trying to get away from the anthill. Then, Amelie ran into someone. Caught by surprise, she bumped her head and stumbled into an embrace. “Ow!” Amelie turned around, holding her head, and she was greeted by a resigned Blake.

“You are such a klutz. One of these days you’re going to bump your head off!” Blake admonished, his voice filled with love and his gaze welled with worry.

Amelie stuck out her tongue at him. “Man, the ants here can really bite.” She held her forehead and jumped around like a rabbit.

Blake shook his head. He got down and held her leg before flicking the ants away.

Leo was standing a couple of yards away from them, and he saw Blake kneeling on the ground, ignoring the fact that his pants would be dirtied. It looked like he was proposing to Amelie and his eyes were glinting warmly. Leo clenched his fists at that sight.

“She’s not the only one who got bitten,” someone said softly. Giada showed up, giving Leo a seductive look.

She didn’t try to hug him, though Giada did lick her lips suggestively. Even now she still wanted to hook up with him. He didn’t take me because he didn’t realize my beauty, but now he can see me in all my glory. She looked like a damsel in distress with the wound on her leg. Men. They either like their women sultry or vulnerable. I can do both.

She tried her best to sell her sultriness, but Leo didn’t even spare her a look. Beset by fury, Giada shot Amelie a glare. Damn her! She got the attention of two men. I bet they just like the air of mystery she’s giving out. I should’ve worn a mask as well. Giada had a lot of suitors, but none of them were as good as Leo or Blake.

She was angry, but she couldn’t do anything. Before the cameraman could film her, she hobbled off to a quiet corner. Then, her phone rang. Already in a bad mood, she snapped, “What?”

“Miss Yates.” A woman asked, “Do you know where I am?”
