A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 233

“W-Why do you want to accompany her all of a sudden? Her mental state hasn’t been all that well
recently, so even if you go, you’ll be scaring her.” Elyse tried to deter Leo from visiting Ellen.

It was then that she realized how quiet it was in the room.

There was a strange atmosphere affecting her.

Unable to withstand this, Elyse turned around to look at Leo only to find that Leo was also looking at
her.

His icy gaze seemed like it was looking straight into her innermost thoughts, digging up all her secrets.

Frightened by this, Elyse found herself unable to stand properly, as her knees gave out somewhat.

Hasn’t Leo just been asking about her condition out of courtesy?

Why does he suddenly want to see her?

Don’t tell me he knows?

Elyse thought about that, but then she shook her head.

Unless he found Ellen, there’s no reason he would suspect me.

But if he really found Ellen, he wouldn’t act like this.

When Elyse was still around Leo, even though she would make a fuss over everything, she was, by no
means, brainless, as she still more or less understood Leo as a person.

After deducing this, she calmed herself down.

On the other hand, Leo, who did not state whether he believed her words or not, walked outside.



Upon seeing him walk out, Elyse held her chest, feeling like it was about to burst.

That was scary.

“If you don’t want to go, I’ll go by myself.” At the entrance, the man suddenly stopped and stated.

“Eh?”

Elyse’s heart rate immediately shot up to the maximum. She thought she was going to have a heart
attack.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Leo left.

After half an hour, they found themselves standing in front of Michael’s house.

Two blooming pomegranate trees were planted on both sides of the entrance, making it seem very red.

Although Elyse looked calm on the surface, she kept fiddling her fingers, unable to hide the fear within.

Looking at the entrance and then back at the statue-like man, she bit her lips before saying, “My dad’s
not home. How about we come another day?”

“He left your sister, who is in a bad shape, alone?” Leo asked.

Speechless, Elyse realized that she spoke out of turn.

“What I mean is that my father must have gone out with my sister since it’s not healthy to be cooped up
in the house all day long. My father cares for her dearly, so he often takes her out,” she quickly added.

Since Elyse’s ‘sister’ did not exist, she could say anything as long as Michael did not return.



Elyse then secretly dialed her father’s number, for her aim was to let him be aware of their
conversation.

Although she thought that her father was not reliable, she admitted that he was, at the very least,
sharp.

Even without needing her reminder, he would know to hide away if he overheard their conversation.

“Oh?” Leo looked at her.

Not in the mood to seduce him, Elyse only wanted to make him leave of his own accord as fast as
possible.

As expected, Leo turned around, yet he added, “Aren’t you calling your father right now? Tell him to
come back with your sister.”

Caught off guard, Elyse did not think that Leo would notice such a small detail.

This made her grip her phone tightly and look at him as if she was looking at a monster.

When did Leo become so observant?

Leo then kept his silence.

Naturally, he would not tell her that he was always so observant.

In the past, he did not question her out of love for her.

Now, it was simply because he no longer needed to give her his love.

Exposed by Leo, Elyse found no other option but to call Michael again.



This time, Michael did not answer the call.

“I think something might have happened to Ellen,” she stated dryly.

Nodding, Leo got into his car, which was parked right beside the residence.

The sight of him getting into the car relieved Elyse before she followed him into the car.

Not daring to sit in the back seat, she chose to sit in the front passenger seat.

When she turned around, she saw that Leo had his arms crossed and eyes shut.

“Just reverse the car out,” she ordered the chauffeur.

Since the alleyway was too narrow, there was no way to make a U-turn.

Yet, the chauffeur remained motionless, looking only at Leo.

Obviously, he only took command from Leo.

In the past, this chauffeur used to drive her around. Now, he acted as if he had never seen her before.

Elyse cursed him under her breath before saying to Leo, “Leo, this alley is a dead end. We can only
reverse out.”

“Just wait.”

Expressionless, Leo only moved his lips.

But it was these two words that scared the wits out of Elyse.

What’s wrong with this man today?



Why must he see my ‘sister?’

“What if they aren’t coming back today? They often stay at a place for one or two days if my sister
fancies it.” Elyse clutched the platinum bag on her lap tightly so as to maintain her sanity.

“It’s not like they’ll stay there for an eternity, will they?” Leo suddenly opened his eyes before lurching
forward.

He pressed his hands against the chair before extending his neck, exchanging his gaze with Elyse,
who got shocked so much that she jumped a bit.

At that moment, she was akin to frightened prey while Leo watched her every move in silence.

The more silent he got, the more naked Elyse felt she was to him.

Are my secrets already known to him?

If I make such a man like Leo into my enemy, it will mean the end of my life.

After a long while, she managed a squeak. “Not that they will.”

Leo then lay back and resumed resting.

Lowering her head, Elyse carefully took her phone out, wanting to send Michael a message, telling him
to not come back.

Yet, she only managed to type one word before her phone was snatched away.

“Miss Clayton, I’ll be taking your phone for safekeeping temporarily.” The driver was the one who took
it.



Speechless, Elyse was livid.

Unfortunately, without Leo to back her up, she was nothing in front of the chauffeur, as he ignored her
and placed her phone in the storage bin.

Elyse naturally knew that a chauffeur would not dare to offend her, meaning that this was planned by
Leo.

Feeling regretful, she thought that if she had not kicked up a fuss and had married him back then, she
would not be stuck in this predicament now.

The thing Elyse felt remorse about was getting affected by that person to do this sort of thing.

Not only did the outcome affect her relationship with Leo, but it also allowed Amelie to come between
their lives.

As time went by, Leo seemed like he had really fallen asleep, for he stayed motionless for hours.

Elyse, who could only watch the sky slowly darken, prayed that her father would not come back.

Night came. With no streetlights to illuminate the surroundings, Leo’s car was shrouded by complete
darkness.

By this point, the driver was already gone, leaving only Elyse and Leo alone in the car.

Finally, Elyse found the opportunity and subtly reached out toward the storage bin.

Inching closer and closer, she managed to reach her phone.

With an elated expression, she yanked it out before turning on silent mode and started typing away.

Yet, just as she finished typing the message, a light shone their way, illuminating them.



Under the sudden illumination, Leo’s car seemed like a beast that popped up out of nowhere.

The driver was driving at a breakneck speed. Caught off guard, by the time the driver had stopped, the
other car was already in the alleyway.

There were only a few inches left before it would crash into Leo’s car.

Elyse was still guessing who drove to this place when she looked into the rearview and saw a rotund
person.

Father! He came back.
