A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376 A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

However, Leo still felt that he was utterly disgusting and continued to scrub his body endlessly.

In recent years, he had gotten a weird condition. Whenever he thought about Amelie, he felt like he had done something sacrilegious.

This feeling was even stronger, especially after seeing her. He felt filthier than if he had just crawled through a mud puddle, but Amelie was uncorrupted like an angel.

He needed to clean himself thoroughly so that he could be cleaner.

Only when he had scrubbed every inch of his body did he walk out of the bathroom in pajamas, his hair still wet.

“Leo,” Chandler greeted him brightly. “You took a long time in the shower. Mrs. Alston thought something happened to you.”

Leo was still wet from the shower and merely glanced coldly at him with his lips in a tight line.

Chandler was clearly used to his cold attitude and didn’t take it to heart as he continued lightly, “You didn’t eat today at the children’s party. I asked the kitchen to make something for you. So, let’s head down.”

Then, he turned around to leave. “I’ll get it served. Don’t forget to come down.”

“My mom doesn’t know what happened to me. But you don’t?” Just when Chandler reached the door, Leo’s icy voice sounded across the hall.

He paused in his tracks, and his facial expression froze momentarily.

However, when he turned around, it was filled with innocence. “What are you talking about, Leo? I don’t understand.”

Leo didn’t reply and brushed past him as he went downstairs.

…

Finally, the vog had dissipated. Amelie couldn’t wait any longer and bought the tickets as soon as it was available.

Toby knew that she wanted to return and came to send her off.

“That country is so far away, and you don’t have family there. Do you really not plan on coming back?” He couldn’t help but ask as they walked toward the airport lounge.

Amelie, with her huge luggage bag in tow, just smiled lightly. “That’s actually a good thing. We can have some peace and quiet without all the trivial matters messing things up.”

“That’s true.” Toby scratched his nose. “You’re self-sufficient and don’t need someone else to take care of you.”

She smiled in return.

He was in a daze for a moment as he looked at her smile.

Although he knew that he would never be able to be with her, he still regarded her as his muse. Even so, he dared not tell her about his feelings, fearing she would distance herself from him.

When they first met, he did have some thoughts about her. Nevertheless, after he spent time with her these few days, he dropped those thoughts since he was smart enough to deduce what her actual thoughts were.

It was also genuinely fortunate that he could do so.

Toby sighed inwardly while he handed over the local specialty product to her. “This is for Master. Please pass it to him.”

He had always addressed Steven as Master. So, Amelie couldn’t very well reject his request since this was for Steven and accepted the gift.

They still had some time before the plane departed, so they sat outside the lounge and chatted.

“Miss Dillon.” Chandler came running from afar with a wheeze.

Then, he whipped out a box that was wrapped tightly. “Leo bought this for you. I think he was too shy to give it to you. So, it’s been on the study table all this while.”

Amelie lowered her head and looked at the box that someone had wrapped nicely. She couldn’t see what was inside.

“It’s just some food.” Chandler saw her hesitation and rushed to explain.

“Children always miss their father. Bria would be disappointed if you returned empty-handed.”

She smiled. “It’s okay. There’s no need for this. Thanks, though.”

“Miss Dillon… ” he muttered. “Even if you and Leo are divorced, you can still be friends, right? Besides, the child is also his…”
