A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 131

Outside the building, Jodie was crying by the car. “I swear to God, Leo, Amelie set this up just to make
me look bad. It was obvious that she wanted to humiliate me when she asked Bria to sing on stage.
Not only did she humiliate me, but she even humiliated the Alston Family and you!”

When Elyse saw them talking, she stopped walking and gave them space to talk. At the same time, she
was looking at Leo’s expression, not wanting to miss his emotions.

She caught sight of Leo pursing his lips as he stood there. “How could she have humiliated you if you
did not show up?” he said while looking at her profoundly.

“Why are you helping her, Leo?” Jodie stomped her feet and looked unhappy.

When Leo heard her words, his face turned cold and serious. “Did you come here to pick a bone with
her?”

“I…” Seeing that Leo had realized her plan, Jodie was pale in the face as she clutched her dress. Then,
she found an excuse and said, “That’s because I don’t like her. Ever since you guys divorced, she and
Starlight Media have been going against us. Now, everyone in Clouson City is saying that we
mistreated her; some even claim that you made the wrong choice. I’m doing all of this for you, Leo.”

“I don’t need your help with anything!” Leo cut her off sternly. “From today onward, you are not allowed
to

leave the house and go elsewhere!” Then, he ordered the driver. “Take Miss Jodie home and ask Mrs.
Alston to keep an eye on her!”

“Leo!” Seeing that Leo was persistent, Jodie was anxious. However, he was more of a father figure to
her than a brother. Hence, she didn’t dare fight back and could only get into the car.



Then, the driver started the car and drove off. On the other hand, Leo stood in place without moving.

Seeing that he looked alone, Elyse lowered her hands which were perfectly manicured. She didn’t say
much as she slowly walked up to him. “Jodie is young and full of pride, so she might not think things
through before she acts. You shouldn’t be so stern with her when she’s already embarrassed.”

Then, she sighed and wrapped her arms around Leo. “I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but I still want
you to know about my opinion, Leony. Bria is still a child, yet she was being arranged to perform in front
of adults. This is bad. I know that Miss Dillion might have wanted to advertise Starlight Media through
this opportunity. but a child should act as one; she shouldn’t be a tool used by adults. Moreover, Bria
live streams. Wouldn’t her life be affected if she were introduced to this platform at such an early age?
Children are the future of a family. As a parent, we should think thoroughly before deciding what path
they should take. If Miss Dillion doesn’t treat her well, I can quit my job and take care of Bria!”

As Elyse spoke, she raised her head and looked at Leo. Her eyes were filled with devotion, and she
was willing to make sacrifices for Leo and Bria. “Don’t worry, Leony. I will treat her as my own. To be
honest, Ashton’s words made me think that a child needs happiness the most. Thus, I will do whatever
it takes to make Bria happy!”

Although Elyse seemed to be thinking about helping Leo solve his problems through her determination,
she was also secretly depreciating Amelie.

After hearing what she had said, Leo lowered his eyes and said nothing.

When Elyse saw his reaction, a glint flashed across her eyes, and she knew not to bring it up now.
Hence, she changed the subject and said, “I’m feeling hungry, Leony. Why don’t we grab a bite?”

Since Leo didn’t refuse, they decided to go to the restaurant right across the road. At that moment, they
encountered two janitors sitting by the roadside.



They were talking loudly.

“Oh my, how cruel of them! I’ve witnessed Starlight Media’s mentor forcing the little girl to sing and
dance countless times. If she did not meet their expectations, they’d whip her! It was tough.”

“Did such a thing happen? Why didn’t you call the police on them for child labor?”

“I wished I could! To be honest, I hoped that the police would arrest them when I saw how miserable
the girl was. However, the mentor told me she was the boss’ child, so it would be useless even if we
called the police.”

“Goodness. These rich people act like madmen just to earn more money.”

“Well, I think there is more to it. They might want their child to be successful as soon as possible. After
all, the

more successful the child is, the prouder the parent would be. Every rich person has this mindset, don’t
you think? However, I feel like it’s still too much since that girl looks like she is only three years old. I
heard that

she needs to be live streaming after she is done crying.”

“How cruel!”

“That’s why I quit my job. It broke my heart to see such a sight.”

As they kept on talking, they walked further.

At that moment, Elyse stopped walking and looked at Leo. “Leony.”

Leo had also stopped walking as he watched the two janitors thoughtfully. However, he soon began
walking



again.

Seeing his reaction, Elyse looked at him darkly and thought, Although he didn’t say anything, that
doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. Everything will go as planned as long as he takes their words to heart.

As Elyse thought about it, she quickly walked up to him and said, “I didn’t plan this out, Leony. I was
with you the whole time, so I wasn’t the one who arranged for those janitors.”

Hearing her words. I po turned and looked at her “Why did you think that I would be suspicious of vou?”

Looking at him. Elyse laughed dryly and said, “I know that you don’t trust me after everything that has
happened. Moreover, they appeared as soon as I expressed my doubts about Miss Dillion. I would also
be having second thoughts too.”

Then, she took hold of his hand. “I’ve done all these because I love you. I don’t want to see you having
time between Bria and me. You have protected me for four years, and it’s time I do the same to you
too.”

As Elyse spoke, Leo lowered his eyes and looked at her.

hard

If Elyse had been willing to sacrifice everything for him four years ago, he would be grateful for her.
However, at this moment, he felt like something in him had changed, and he didn’t feel anything as he
heard her words.

To be honest, Leo felt that Elyse was the same as four years ago. Four years ago, she was selfish and
arrogant, and she had always done unreasonable things while ignoring how he felt.



Nonetheless, he endured all of it since he was touched by her actions and loved her with all his heart
back then. Thus, he was able to look past her mistakes no matter how severe it was. However,
something seemed to have stayed inside his heart other than her. He didn’t have the same feelings as
he had before.

After some time, he said, “You don’t have to put up with me, and neither do I need you to.”

Before Elyse could say anything more, he pointed forward and said, “Let’s go.”

At that moment, disappointment filled Elyse’s eyes. I thought he would have said something since I’ve
almost

devoted all of myself to him, but he didn’t…

Then, they had a meal at the restaurant. When they were almost done with the meal, Elyse fiddled with
her fingers and suggested, “Let’s get married, Leony. We can get engaged if you think it’s too fast.”

Elyse knew that they couldn’t postpone this matter any longer. In the past, she kept waiting for Leo to
bring the subject up, but he seemed to have forgotten about it. However, Elyse would take the initiative
to do so if Leo

wouldn’t.

Just as Elyse was waiting for an answer, she realized that Leo was not responding to her. At that
moment, she was surprised and looked at him. Then, she saw that he was looking through the window
behind her.

This was the first time she had ever seen him so immersed in something. His eyes seemed to bave
darkened, and there was a strange look in his eyes. At that moment, Elyse couldn’t help but follow his
gaze.
