A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 A Deep Impression of That Night

Work ended a little late, and it was already 8.00PM by the time Amelie returned to Halport. Steven said that he had something urgent to attend to, so he was going back to Quinn Town. The old lady next door was taking care of Bria for the time being, so Amelie had to go home in time to fetch Bria.

After that, Steven reminded her about getting groceries because he didn’t want Amelie and Bria to starve.

As Amelie listened to her father’s loving voice, she allowed a faint smile on her lips. She was both exasperated and touched. Most parents loved and cared for their children even though they were grown-ups.

Amelie obediently said yes to all of Steven’s nagging. Steven talked for a while, then finally hung up.

Amelie touched her ear, which was heated by the phone. As she ended the call, she felt around for her keys. She had just touched the keys when she froze in front of the entrance.

A man was standing under the warm yellow glow of the streetlights in front of the entrance of her apartment. He had a tall build and long legs, and his body proportions followed the perfect standard for models.

Even in the dim light, the stern aura emanating from his body was unmistakable.

Leo kept facing the door, but it seemed like he had eyes on the back of his head, for he turned around as soon as Amelie stopped walking.

He pursed his lips as he simply stared at her with his deep gaze. His eyes were alluringly deep, like an endless ocean.

Amelie was stunned for a moment before asking, “Mr. Alston? Why are you here?”

Leo didn’t reply as he shifted his position. He then began striding toward her.

He constantly kept his eyes on her, and with every approaching step, the alluring sensation thickened.

Amelie subconsciously took a step back. A wary and nervous look appeared in her pretty eyes.

He took note of her minuscule shifts in expression, his gaze gradually darkening as he stopped a few inches before her. “Miss Foxy doubted my capabilities in public. I feel that it is necessary for me to come in person so that you can verify it yourself.”

Amelie was speechless.

So, he watches the live stream too?

This was something she had never expected before. In her memories, Leo was a workaholic, and his mind was filled with nothing but work.

Even if he took an occasional break, he would read up on economic news or reports from tech-based news outlets.

“It’s a misunderstanding.” She wanted to signify that the two only had a brief meeting in the guest room of the hotel, so they couldn’t have done anything.

Despite saying that, however, she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

She didn’t think anything of it in the live stream, but when she was in front of the person himself, she felt uneasy regardless.

Leo was a tall man, and he was standing close to her while looking down at her. She felt like a little mouse with people watching her every move, and she had nowhere to run.

She uneasily licked her lips, and her eyes darted subconsciously.

Suddenly, Leo reached out, but Amelie didn’t know what he was trying to do, so she instinctively dodged him.

There was a chill on her back as it pressed against the wall. The man’s hand extended forward and pressed on the wall while his other hand did so as well, trapping her between his chest and the wall.

Amelie was feeling even more trapped. Confused, Amelie felt her heart beating wildly as she stared at him with a wary look in her eyes.

She saw his lips curving into a half-smile. “So, was that sarcasm instead, and you actually think of me as a powerful person?”

Amelie said nothing.

“Looks like you have a deep impression of the night we shared.”

His words were like a torch that caught fire, burning Amelie so strongly. The man was supposed to be stern with his words, but he was surprisingly skilled at making suggestive talk.

Amelie wanted to appear indifferent and talk seriously to him like before, but after he said that, her brain seemed to be glued together, and she couldn’t quite come up with a reaction.

She had always been perfectly capable of handling other men, but Leo was a little hard to deal with.

Is it because this man shared an intimate moment with me before?
