A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305 Was the Murder Just to Play With Him?

“Treasure? What treasure?” Amelie was confused. Other than Bria and herself, what else could be her father’s treasure?

“Hmph! Grandpa doesn’t love Bria anymore,” Bria remarked, feeling jealous. “How can you call someone else your treasure? I’m very angry! I’ll still be angry no matter how you coax me!”

Hearing that, Steven hurried over to appease this little one. “You and Amy are my only treasures. Didn’t Alston bring a lot of ingredients and recipes earlier? I’m going to get my reading glasses and look for the recipes online. I’ll get the ingredients myself and make delicious food for the both of you when I get back.”

Indeed, Leo knew him well. If it weren’t for his hatred of Leo, he would have gladly accepted the gift. For Steven, there was nothing more enjoyable than making delicious food for his two loved ones every day.

When Amelie heard that he wanted to look for the recipes and ingredients to make delicious food for them, she felt touched and resigned at the same time. “Those ingredients have been exclusively imported, and the recipes are confidential. You can’t find them online.”

“Oh, I see.” Feeling that it was such a pity, he scratched his head in silence.

Immediately, she walked over and put her arm around his shoulder. “Dad, you’re already making fantastic dishes now. Bria and I can’t even finish it all. You don’t need those recipes, you know.”

“Yeah, Grandpa. I love to eat everything that you make. Meatballs, meat stew, grilled salmon… Oh, I can’t name them all!” Bria could tell that Amelie didn’t want Steven to work so hard anymore, so she crawled over and nestled in his arms, twiddling her fingers.

Seeing his adorable granddaughter like this, he couldn’t contain his happiness as he laughed delightfully. “Okay, okay. From now on, I will cook for you every day. I won’t learn anything else. I’ll just cook what you like to eat.”

“But if you like, you can still phone Dada occasionally.” Bria used baby talk all of a sudden, no longer calling her father ‘Daddy’ but ‘Dada’ instead. In her opinion, she wished that Leo would have a better relationship with her mother and grandfather.

When Steven heard that, he looked at Bria, then at Amelie. Although he was tempted, he still shook his head. “There’s no need for that.” Amy has finally made up her mind to leave Leo. I can’t allow him to hurt her again.

Meanwhile, in the car, Eugene was driving silently, not daring to breathe a little louder. The usually serious boss has suffered such embarrassment in front of the Dillon Family. The scene was… He didn’t dare recall what happened.

Over the years, no one dared to disrespect Leo as he rose to the top. No matter where he went, people were cautious and trembled in fear whenever they saw him. Eugene never dared imagine something like today would happen. Is he fuming now?

“How’s the investigation going with Elyse’s death?” Just when he was immersed in his thoughts, a question suddenly came from behind him. The voice was as cold and deep as ever.

Instantly, he put his scattered thoughts at the back of his mind and sat up straighter. “Victor just sent a message saying he hasn’t found any leads yet.”

When Leo heard that, he responded with a noncommittal hum in acknowledgment.

Elyse had been shot dead by a sniper rifle. The killer came well-prepared, so it wouldn’t be easy to crack the case. “Don’t you find it strange?”

Oh, I thought Mr. Alston would be too furious to think clearly, but it seems that his mind is still sharp, he thought at once.

Just then, the sound of Leo tapping his seat came from behind him. This meant that he was getting impatient.

Eugene quickly replied, “Yes, it’s quite strange. Why would someone want to kill Elyse? Could it be that the person she mentioned has some secrets that can’t be revealed?”

“It looks like I need to give you a break so that you can continue daydreaming,” Leo remarked coldly. “You’re getting more and more useless each day!”

At this moment, Eugene had no comeback. He can always tell when I’m daydreaming, even if it’s only for a few seconds.
