A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 325

Before Amelie could react, Leo removed her mask and pressed his lips onto hers, kissing her with all his might.

She tried to struggle, but it was as though he had gone mad. He held her body tightly, pressing her head down and not giving her any chance to escape. All she could do was whimper in protest, as she was unable to form coherent words.

At this moment, he aggressively stirred inside her, blurring her world.

Suddenly, footsteps approached. Someone is coming!

Leo seemed to have lost his hearing as all he wanted to do was kiss her. His kiss turned fierce, as though he was a wild beast, wanting to devour every inch of her.

Just then, the footsteps grew closer and closer. Judging from the sound, one could conclude that quite a few of them were present.

It wasn’t anyone else but Alfred and the others from the Walsh Family.

“There are many young people here tonight and young girls like desserts. Ask the kitchen to prepare more, with a variety of options,” Alfred said as he walked.

“Okay, Dad,” his three daughters-in-law answered in unison, afraid of being slow in their responses.

Meanwhile, his three sons also followed closely, serving and attending to him. Behind them was the younger generation of the Walsh Family.

As the group marched forward, Amelie and Leo would soon be seen just around a corner.

Since the banquet was about to start, Alfred was in a hurry to get to the hall, so his steps were faster than usual.

At this moment, Amelie was completely stunned. All she felt was her head ringing, and she could already imagine the kind of reaction the Walshes would have when they saw this scene. However, she had no way to defend herself as Leo was acting like a total lunatic.

“Grandpa, the butler said he saw a snake around here this morning. It might not be safe to take this route. Let’s use another way.” Toby suddenly interjected as Alfred was about to step into the corner.

“A snake?” Alfred wasn’t too concerned, but the people around him became anxious. “It’s your birthday today. It will be such a jinx if we encounter a snake.”

“That’s right. If any of us gets bitten by a snake, it will ruin your birthday, and it will be a sin for us as children.”

“We’d rather take the long way than risk it.”

Alfred didn’t want a snake to ruin everyone’s mood, so he nodded. “Alright. Let’s take the long way then.”

After he said that, footsteps sounded once again.

Only when the group walked away did Amelie’s heart, which had been pounding so quickly in her chest, slowly calm down. After a long time, Leo finally let go of her.

Under the moonlight showed his handsome face, as if the lunatic just now was not him.

He held her face and put her mask back on. With his fingertips, he touched her face gently and softly.

Without thinking, Amelie raised her hand and slapped him hard. Slap! She used all her strength in this slap, making the crisp sound echo through the night.

Leo’s face was slightly tilted by the slap. Even though the streetlights were dim, the finger mark on his fair face was still visible, displaying a disheveled beauty.

“You can slap me again if you still need to vent.” He held her hand, gesturing for her to slap his face again. He was crazy just now, but he didn’t regret it.

Speechless, she shook off his hand and turned to leave.

Yet, he followed her. “They said there’s a snake here. I’ll walk with you.” Big Eyes is most afraid of snakes.

“No need.” A warm male voice came through before Amelie could speak.

Following that, Toby’s face appeared in the corner. Even in the dim light, he still had his usual gentle look on, making people feel at ease.

The moment Amelie saw him, she was surprised that he hadn’t left earlier. Then, an embarrassed look overtook her face. If he didn’t leave just now, he probably saw everything. Even though her face was hidden behind the mask, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

However, Toby seemed oblivious to the situation and just smiled at her, his gaze falling on Leo. “I’ll take care of Foxy’s safety.” His gaze was calm, no different from usual.

Following his appearance, Leo’s previously clear eyes darkened at once.

Amelie didn’t want to stay there any longer and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she turned around and walked away.

Bam! A muffled sound suddenly came from beside her, followed by a groan of pain. Then, someone fell to the ground. It was Toby!

It turned out that Leo had walked up to him at some point and mercilessly punched him in the face.

Toby’s face instantly swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Leo looked like a crazed beast, glaring at Toby with his fists clenched tightly. It was as though he was killing Toby over and over again with his deadly gaze.

However, Toby was not afraid of his gaze. When he propped himself up, he even smiled at Leo and didn’t rush to stand up.

“Leo! What’s wrong with you?” Amelie shouted, running over to help Toby up. “Are you okay?” She kept checking his face.

“I’m fine,” Toby replied with a smile. His eyes were still fixed on Leo, and his lips curled in a provocative smile.

“Leo, Elie came here tonight as my girlfriend. You won’t embarrass her again, will you?” He said ‘again’. It was obvious that he saw everything that had just happened. This was also the reason why he asked Alfred and the others to change their route.

Without responding, Leo shifted his gaze to Amelie.

Under his gaze, she took out a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped the wound on Toby’s face. Her eyes were focused and serious, but it felt like a sharp knife piercing through Leo’s heart that he couldn’t remove, no matter how hard he tried, causing him intense pain.
