A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 8

Meanwhile, Ashton, who never joined in the conversation between the two as he was playing cards on his mobile phone, glanced over.

“Toby, please.

Why do you see every woman as Amelie?” Ashton had made the same remark the last time Toby saw the dancer within the sea of dancers.

In fact, Ashton would show apparent signs of distaste every time someone mentioned Amelie’s name.

Since Leo was already in a bad mood in the first place, Toby and Ashton weren’t much of a help in making him feel better with them constantly talking about his ex-wife.

Eventually.

he could no longer bear sitting and listening to the two as he rose to his feet and walked out of the private dining room.

Finally, the one-hour-long live stream ended.

However, Amelie and Bria were still riding the high of their successful stream.

After Bria removed the little fox mask, she blinked her bright eyes and looked at Amelie as she said, “Mommy, it’s my first time seeing you smile so happily.

You look so pretty when you smile!” When she heard that, she was momentarily stunned. Yeah.

After four years of marriage, I almost forgot how to put on a genuine smile. Still, she pinched Briar’s adorable chubby cheeks as she praised, “You’re amazing too.

I never knew you could dance so well.” Just as Bria was fascinated by her, Amelie, too, was astonished by Bria’s performance today.

Bria looked down at her words and sheepishly said, “Actually, I have always liked dancing, but I also know Grandma and Aunt Jodie dislike it.

I am afraid that it will annoy them, and they will, in turn, scold you, so…” Tears instantly welled up in her eyes when she heard Bria’s answer. So that’s the reason! After getting married, I have been living with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Never once did we move out of the house.

I’ve always remembered that Bria would move her body to the music within a few months of her birth, and when she reached 1 or 2 years old, she would dance away and even choreograph her own dance moves.

But for some reason, she became less fond of dancing as time went on. Initially, Amelie thought that Bria just didn’t like dancing anymore.

Hence, never once did it cross her mind that Bria did it out of fear that Jodie and Melissa would scold her.

A sense of guilt surged within her.

Once again, she hugged Bria tightly and said, “Don’t worry, Bria.

You can dance as much as you want in the future.

You no longer have to worry about anything else.

Also, there’s one more thing that I have to tell you.

We will no longer live at Grandma’s house.

Your father and I have separated too.

A-Are you willing to leave them and stay with me?” Since she didn’t discuss with Bria about the divorce, she was highly uneasy at this moment.

“Can I really stop staying at Grandma’s house?” Bria was merely stunned for a moment, and a hint of joy immediately surfaced on her face as she cheered, “Hurray!” “Bria, you don’t want to… stay there either?” Amelie asked, and she was somewhat surprised by her response.

“I don’t like staying there.” Bria shook her head without thinking twice.

“Grandma and Aunt Jodie isn’t fond of you and me, so I dislike them too!” Alas, her statement only aroused Amelie’s deeper sense of guilt.

Due to the fact that Amelie’s father only worked as a shoemaker, the Alstons always felt that her family background wasn’t as prestigious as theirs.

So they constantly gave her an attitude, and as a result, they were prejudiced against Bria too.

Now, three years had passed since Bria was born, yet her existence was completely kept hidden from the outside world.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Alstons, Amelie giving birth to the family’s descendants was a disgrace and a stain on their prestigious lineage.

Amelie couldn’t help but think, Will everything turn out differently if I hadn’t made such an impulsive decision back then and secretly given birth to Bria and raised her by myself later after I found out I was pregnant? After they ended the live stream, Julia told her that the studio apartment she would stay in was already vacant and ready for her to move in.

Hence, Amelie took Bria to the apartment she bought before marriage.

Although she didn’t come from a wealthy family, she made a lot of money through live streams.

She bought this studio apartment with the money she earned from live streams.

“Hi, Master, my name is Leony, and I’m your most loyal, intelligent steward.

Just give me the order if you have anything that you wish me to do for you.

I will definitely work extremely hard to serve you.” A respectful and enthusiastic voice sounded from inside as soon as she opened the door.

She couldn’t help but chuckle, “Julia, are you an idiot? I left that house just so I could completely forget about him.
