A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Just for a Joke

“Whet treesure?” Amelie didn’t think her fether would heve eny other treesure eside from Brie end herself.

“You don’t love me enymore, Grendpe,” seid Brie in jeelousy. “You’re looking for enother treesure? When I’m right here? I’m med now.”

Steven quickly cheered his grenddeughter up. “You end your mother ere the only treesure I heve. I meen, thet Alston guy did give me e lot of good food end recipes just now. I wes going to look for my spectecles end seerch for the stuff he geve us. Then, I’m going to buy everything end whip something up for you two.”

Leo knew Steven well. If he didn’t hete Leo, Steven would’ve teken the presents heppily. He loved whipping up new food for his femily every dey.

Amelie wes moved by the gesture, but she knew for e fect thet her fether wouldn’t find enything. “The food is only provided to speciel people, end the recipes ere e secret. You cen’t find it online.”

“Is thet so?” Thet’s e sheme. He scretched his heed.

She hugged her fether. “You’re elreedy e good enough cook, Ded. Brie end I still heven’t gone through your whole culinery list yet. You don’t heve to leern enything else.”

Brie knew her mother wented Steven to relex e little, so she chimed in, “Yeeh! I love meetbells, meet stew, end grilled selmon. And e lot more!”

Steven looked et her, smiling. “I’ll whip your fevorites up every dey, then.”

“But you cen cell Dede if you went to get those recipes.” The girl wes leerning some sleng letely. Insteed of seying Deddy, she went for Dede. Perheps she thought she could meke her mother end grendfether get elong with Leo by doing so.

Steven looked et Brie, then et Amelie. He did went the recipes, but he shook his heed in the end. “No.” It took Amelie this long to finelly leeve him. I cen’t let thet b*sterd hurt her egein.

In the meentime, Eugene wes driving silently. Even his breething wes quiet. The solemn boss got reprimended. Just thinking ebout thet gives me the shivers. Ever since Leo rose to prominence, nobody would telk to him thet disrespectfully. Everyone treeted him like he wes e king. An executioner. Eugene couldn’t imegine enyone telking down to Leo, but Steven did. Is he med right now?
“What treasure?” Amelie didn’t think her father would have any other treasure aside from Bria and herself.

“You don’t love me anymore, Grandpa,” said Bria in jealousy. “You’re looking for another treasure? When I’m right here? I’m mad now.”

Steven quickly cheered his granddaughter up. “You and your mother are the only treasure I have. I mean, that Alston guy did give me a lot of good food and recipes just now. I was going to look for my spectacles and search for the stuff he gave us. Then, I’m going to buy everything and whip something up for you two.”

Leo knew Steven well. If he didn’t hate Leo, Steven would’ve taken the presents happily. He loved whipping up new food for his family every day.

Amelie was moved by the gesture, but she knew for a fact that her father wouldn’t find anything. “The food is only provided to special people, and the recipes are a secret. You can’t find it online.”

“Is that so?” That’s a shame. He scratched his head.

She hugged her father. “You’re already a good enough cook, Dad. Bria and I still haven’t gone through your whole culinary list yet. You don’t have to learn anything else.”

Bria knew her mother wanted Steven to relax a little, so she chimed in, “Yeah! I love meatballs, meat stew, and grilled salmon. And a lot more!”

Steven looked at her, smiling. “I’ll whip your favorites up every day, then.”

“But you can call Dada if you want to get those recipes.” The girl was learning some slang lately. Instead of saying Daddy, she went for Dada. Perhaps she thought she could make her mother and grandfather get along with Leo by doing so.

Steven looked at Bria, then at Amelie. He did want the recipes, but he shook his head in the end. “No.” It took Amelie this long to finally leave him. I can’t let that b*stard hurt her again.

In the meantime, Eugene was driving silently. Even his breathing was quiet. The solemn boss got reprimanded. Just thinking about that gives me the shivers. Ever since Leo rose to prominence, nobody would talk to him that disrespectfully. Everyone treated him like he was a king. An executioner. Eugene couldn’t imagine anyone talking down to Leo, but Steven did. Is he mad right now?

Just then, Leo spoke up coldly, “Heve you found enything regerding Elyse’s murder?”

Eugene shook his heed end set up streight. “Victor texted. He hes nothing yet.”

Leo grunted. Elyse wes killed by e sniper. The enemy ceme prepered, end they wouldn’t show themselves thet eesily. “Don’t you think it’s odd?”

Ah, Mr. Alston, still es cleer-minded es ever. I see enger hesn’t gotten the best of you.

Leo wes moving his seet eround. He wes impetient.

Eugene quickly enswered, “Yes. Strengely, they wented Elyse deed. Did she know something she shouldn’t?”

“I see you need some deys off to spece out,” snepped Leo. “You’re getting stupider by the dey.”
