"Mommy… Mommmyyyyy."
In the morning, Amelie woke up from Bria's calling.
Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was a man’s chest.
For a moment, she was confused.
The man had already woken up and was smiling at her with sleepy eyes. "Good morning."
Amelie suddenly remembered what had happened last night, and her face immediately turned red.
Leo put his fingers on her lip lightly and caressed it.
Her blushing face was particularly charming, which was why his eyes darkened.
The way he looked at Amelie made her feel very hot. She wanted to get up.
He gently pressed her back down and said, "Rest a little longer."
After speaking, he got up without avoiding her and picked up the pajamas that were left under her shirt on the ground. After that, he went to open the door.
"Where’s Mommy?" Bria stuck her head in, looking for Amelie.
"Mommy’s tired. She's still sleeping." Leo bent down and hugged her, then kissed her face. "What do you want to do? Daddy will accompany you."
Bria’s face wrinkled when she was kissed, but she didn't ask for Amelie again.
Amelie was so embarrassed that she kept her head buried under the covers. It wasn’t until Leo took Bria away that she finally let out a sigh of relief.
How did things turn out like that last night? Although she thought so, it seemed that everything had fallen into place naturally. There was nothing to complain about.
Amelie didn't want to be too sentimental, so she flipped over.
The soreness all over her body caused her to gasp for air. She once again realized the difference in strength between men and women, after which she let out a gentle sigh and closed her eyes.
When Amelie woke up again, it was already close to noon.
Someone had come in at some point, but she didn’t know who it was. The clothes on the ground had been picked up and neatly placed by the bedside.
On the bedside table, there was also a set of casual clothes.
Amelie picked up the set of casual clothes and put them on. She then washed up and walked out of the room.
She happened to see Bria throwing a ball in the backyard.
After throwing the ball, a small white dog ran out from somewhere and chased after it.
Although the puppy was small, it had agile legs and could jump and run quickly. It caught up with the ball in no time.
Bria laughed joyfully and played with the puppy.
Leo was standing nearby and watching Bria, but his expression was unclear.
"Where did the dog come from?" Amelie walked over and asked while avoiding eye contact with him.
Bria stood up and walked to her with the little dog in her arms. "Mommy, this is the puppy Dada just bought for me. It’s so cute!"
Bria was like a sparrow and chirped non-stop.
Amelie felt a headache coming on. "We won’t stay here long. We need to go back to Grandpa’s place."
Bria pouted immediately.
"It’s okay. You can take it home," Leo said simply.
Amelie was slightly stunned by how straightforward he was.
They still hadn't talked about what had happened between them last night officially.
His straightforward behavior left Amelie a bit puzzled.
They were both adults after all. They couldn't just act a certain way just because they slept with each other, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Let’s go eat."
After lunch, Amelie took Bria and the puppy home.
Leo went to the hospital.
"How’s the situation?" he asked.
Many doctors were standing outside the VIP ward. All of them were experts in neurology, psychiatry, and psychology.
Jodie had suffered a mental shock. Her mental state had been abnormal since yesterday and she had refused to see anyone.
"Her condition is not very good, but she's finally sane," the attending physician said while looking at him. "The patient said she wants to see you."
"Okay." He nodded.
Leo walked into the ward.
In the ward, Jodie sat on the bed like a puppet, looking dull.
