A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Me? Something in return? Amelie was startled. “You want me to help you convince Owen Steward, the big shot of Skaynia, to collaborate with you?”

Toby had actually asked her for help on this before, but he just didn’t know that Amelie was Foxy before this.

He pondered for a moment, and just when Amelie was going to say something, he spoke ahead of her. “You know what? Never mind. Forget it” He didn’t know exactly why, but he was suddenly afraid that her impression of him would turn bad.

Just as she wanted to talk more about it, Steven and Bria came back.

“This is… Steven asked when he saw Toby. He didn’t know much about the relationships among the Alstons, so of course, he didn’t know Toby.

“This is Mr. Walsh. He came to learn about shoemaking,” Amelie answered quickly.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Dillon. I’m Toby Walsh.” Toby introduced himself after walking in front of Steven.

He looks neat and has a great smile, but it’s quite obvious that he’s not a handyman. “Nice to meet you too.” Steven studied him a little and didn’t say much, merely reaching out his hand to shake hands with him.

On the other hand, Bria recognized Toby, but she didn’t have much interaction with him. So when she saw him and recalled that he was her father’s good friend, she hid behind Steven timidly with her big and innocent eyes showing obvious dislike.

She didn’t like Leo and knew that his friends always bullied her mother, so her impression of Toby wasn’t good. However, Steven just thought that she wasn’t used to meeting strangers and didn’t mull over it.

“Dad, I thought you all would stay by the stream a little longer.”

Hearing that, Steven looked at Bria in his arms, who was soaking wet. “The wind outside is very strong. I’m worried that Bria will catch a cold.” As he stroked Bria’s wet head, he didn’t mind whether her wet clothes

would make his shirt wet at all.

Meanwhile, Bria huddled in his arms like a little kitten with her hands around his neck, enjoying the attention he was giving her.

*Please come in, Mr. Walsh.” Steven invited Toby politely into the house and even brought out a watermelon that he had harvested himself. After cutting it into slices, he served them to Toby on a plate.

When Toby saw that, he was a little shocked. He held a slice in his hand and didn’t know where to start since those from rich families always had their watermelons cut into small chunks and used a small fork to eat.

them.

At this moment, Bria, who was done changing with Amelie, came out and seemingly saw that he was in an awkward situation. She rolled her eyes at him on purpose before taking a slice herself and sitting at the entrance, munching away.

As she was eating, she would take the handheld fan at the side of the door and wave it in the air. This was what she observed when Steven ate watermelon. She found it interesting, so she imitated him.

Bria was gobbling up the slice of watermelon. With her little mouth biting on the watermelon non-stop, she was soon stained with the juice from the fruit. At the same time, she was shaking her head from side to side, just like an adorable bunny.

When Toby saw that, he was slightly startled, as he could clearly feel that Bria was much more cheerful than

Lefore

When she was at the Alston Residence, she was almost invisible. Every time she appeared, she would try her best to curl herself up, hold on to Amelie’s legs, and follow wherever Amelie went. Her eyes would be dull, without any stream of brightness, and she would be so timid that she couldn’t be brought out to meet

anyone.

However, she had a pair of big, sparkling eyes now. She could even do things quickly and responsively and had her own opinions.

With both her little legs curled at the doorway, she looked smart and adorable, no matter how Toby looked at her When compared to the old times, she appeared to be a completely different person.

Then, his gaze turned to Amelie, who was sitting on the chair. Her actions were so much more elegant than Bria’s. Her eyes were like a crescent, and she was smiling with her lips pressing together. Although she was quiet, her elegant aura couldn’t be hidden.
