A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 9

Blakey’s full name was Blake Gareth.

He was a rising star within the figure skating world within these two years.

When Amelie and Bria arrived, he was leaning against the railing with his skates on and was still in his training uniform.

His figure was slim, his legs were long, and as the sleeves of his uniform fluttered, Blake looked just like an exiled celestial being.

He completely portrayed the image of a handsome nobleman, especially when he had a few bangs delicately framing his stunning face.

Awestruck by Blake’s unparalleled charm, Amelie sighed, “What a fine man! His gentle bearing truly overshadows all men.” A sheepish smile painted across Blake’s face when he saw her.

“Hey, Amelie.” With that, she pulled Bria closer, motioning her to greet Blake.

“Quick.

Call him Mr. Blake.” “Mr. Blake, you are so handsome and ethereal, like a celestial being.

I shall call you Mr. Celeste.” Bria, who had left the Alston Residence, completely let herself run wild and tossed all her etiquette lessons to the wind.

Hence, she no longer spoke cautiously.

Blake smiled shyly at her earnest praise.

He even gave Bria a small white bracelet as a gift.

Bria liked it so much that she started examining and playing with it alone.

“Amelie, I’ve heard… about your news.

Are you alright?” Blake only cast a concerned look at her after he saw Bria leaving their vicinity.

Amelie shrugged indifferently as she said, “It’s all in the past.

I’m doing pretty well.” The gaze in Blake’s eyes flickered as he scrutinized her.

Since he was an extremely detail-oriented person, he naturally knew that Amelie hadn’t completely recovered from her previous marriage.

Even so, he still sensibly stopped asking any more questions.

Thus, he suggested thoughtfully, “Amelie, let’s perform a figure skating routine, shall we?” As they said, one should learn healthy coping mechanisms.

Hence, her heart pumped with excitement the moment she heard his suggestion.

Although her figure skating skill wasn’t as good as his, she, too, had undergone some serious training before.

Initially, she practiced figure skating just so she could convince Blake.

She didn’t expect that she would fall in love with the sport herself.

“Sure.” Since she had nothing better to do anyway, she thought it was an excellent time to have some fun.

“But I want Bria to skate with me.” He naturally had no objection to her request.

When Bria heard that Blake and Amelie were going to take her skating with them, she was so happy that she clapped her hands and jumped for joy.

Shortly after, he brought skates and training uniforms for the two before leading them into the skating rink.

While Amelie started doing her warm-ups, Blake first took Bria to familiarize herself with the rink and taught her some simple exercises.

For a 3-year-old, Bria was a surprisingly fast learner, for she was able to perform some spins around the rink under Blake’s lead in no time.

Soon, Amelie chased after them with graceful glides and took Bria’s other hand.

Just like that, the three skated together in the rink.

A trio containing two adults and a little girl made their appearance on the skating rink.

The adults looked like a match made in heaven, and the little girl was adorable, so they immediately garnered a lot of attention and praise from the audience.
