A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347 Are Demons Scarier Than Humans?

Leo’s wounds were no joke. His arm was bruised and battered, with purple and green bruises and broken skin. It was evident that he had other injuries in other places as well.

Then, Bria let Amelie tend to her wounds while she blew on her father’s wounds to soothe him. At that moment, Leo “accidentally” lifted his trouser to reveal the bruises on his leg. “Dada is so pitiful,” she said as she feigned, wiping tears from her eyes.

“All done,” Amelie said after applying the medicine to her daughter.

Suddenly, he extended his arm in front of her. Bria thought her father was better at being shameless than anyone else.

Amelie looked down at his bruised arm in front of her. She nodded and said, “It’s pretty serious.” It was hard to ignore his injuries when they were right in front of her face. “Here’s the medicine.” Following that, she handed him the ointment.

Leo was dumbfounded, and his heart was filled with disappointment, but he could only silently accept the medicine from her. He didn’t avoid her gaze as he applied it to his wounds. After tending to his hands and feet, he unbuttoned his collar to reveal his striking clavicle and well-maintained skin. As he was applying the medication, he purposefully rubbed and slid his hands over himself in a way that looked very arresting to the eye. Soon, it caused everyone in the vicinity to look over at him and be transfixed by his random gestures. He intentionally turned his back on Bria and only let Amelie watch. On the other hand, Amelie was cornered by him and had no other option but to focus on him.

“Elie.” While Leo was basking in the glory, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Amelie, who had been blocked by him the entire time, looked up. Suddenly, her expressionless face bloomed like a flower before him, quickly revealing a brilliant smile. “Mr. Walsh, what brings you here?”

“I’m about to leave the country, so I wanted to see you before I go and say goodbye.” Toby leaned on the railing, his smile just right for his features. The wind ruffled his half-tied hair, and his bangs partially covered his face, making him look even more handsome and charming.

“Mr. Walsh,” Bria called out as well.

“Little Bria.” He nodded at her before his gaze briefly landed on Leo.

“Leo, hello.” Toby’s tone was noticeably more relaxed.

“Hey.” Leo’s handsome face darkened as a storm began brewing in his eyes. “Aren’t you leaving soon? Shouldn’t you be going now?” he asked, clearly displeased with Toby’s presence.

Nevertheless, Toby could naturally hear the displeasure in his voice. So, he smiled, revealing two rows of teeth, and appeared even more graceful and charming. ” There’s no way around it; I have someone I care about here,” he said.

Leo knew in his heart that Toby had come to cause trouble for him. Then, he snorted and said, “You act so ostentatiously. Aren’t you afraid of encountering demons?” It was a clear insinuation.

Still, Toby smiled faintly, pretending not to understand. “Are demons scarier than humans in this world? If I’m not afraid of humans, why would I fear demons?” His smile was warm and bright. In addition, his words seemed to have no hidden meaning, but he had said everything.

“Elie, what do you think?” Toby intentionally broke Leo’s heart by involving Amelie.

Hearing that, Amelie nodded in agreement. “Mr. Walsh, you’re right.”

Her response rendered Leo speechless. It doesn’t matter what he says; she’ll agree with him. Nonetheless, she will not listen to me no matter what I say. I am envious! I’m very jealous!

Seeing that, Toby chuckled lightly. His smile wasn’t just because Amelie was on his side but also because Leo was losing. Since he was a child, except when Leo’s eyes were giving him trouble, Leo had always been the “golden child” every parent longed to have. He and Ashton, along with the other children, were never good enough compared to Leo.
