A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 258

Amelie was trying to guess whether it was a bear or a person when suddenly, the rustling sound behind
her grew louder. In a flash, a powerful force struck her neck from behind! She quickly ducked out of the
way and grabbed the hand, reaching for her. Twisting her body, she slipped under the other person’s
arm and tried to throw them over her shoulder in one move.

“It’s me!” a low voice suddenly said, and a hand pressed down on her shoulder, halting her movement.

She was momentarily stunned, but then she heard the name she recognized well.

“I’m Leo.”

“Leo?” She turned around and shone the phone’s light on him. Then, she saw the sharp line of his jaw
and, above that, his pursed lips, nose, and those clear, stern, and always indifferent eyes. He was
staring at her, his eyes wide with surprise.

“You know martial arts?” She would have thrown him off if he hadn’t called out in time.

“I learned a little before,” Amelie replied casually, not wanting to say much. She turned her body and
met Leo’s gaze, standing straight and composed. His height gave him a clear advantage, and he
looked down at her as if he wanted to see right through her.

“How much do you know?” he asked, feeling he didn’t know his former wife. She’s a social media star,
a racecar driver, and now she knows martial arts?

“Not much,” she replied, thinking they no longer needed to be honest with one another. After their
divorce, it was no longer necessary for him to boastfully list her qualities. On the other hand, these
were merely hobbies for her, and she never felt conceited about learning them.

“I’m gonna go patrol,” she said and walked away.



Nonetheless, Leo did not leave but instead followed Amelie. “Are you alone?”

After Fabian left, he entrusted the patrol work to Chester. There was an initial request for a man and a
woman to patrol together, but no specific details were provided.

“Blakey’s not feeling well, so I didn’t wake him up,” she responded truthfully. She knew martial arts and
could easily defeat the typical bad guys and small animals. So, having him around wouldn’t do her
much good if a ferocious and dangerous animal came.

A cold and sarcastic “Hmph!” sounded beside her as soon as she finished speaking.

“You’re so concerned about him.”

I assumed Blake has feelings for her, but it appears she is providing him with more care. Suddenly, a
sour feeling rose in Leo’s stomach, and he clenched his fists silently at his side.

These words made Amelie very uncomfortable, so she turned to look at him. His face, already solemn,
was now dark and icy, and he lifted the corner of his lips in a mocking arc. The mockery was extremely
obvious, as if she had done something shameful.

“Is there a problem?” She didn’t like his insinuating tone and decided not to explain. Then, she looked
straight into his eyes with a completely open and honest expression. “Whom I care about is none of
your business, Mr. Alston.”

As her words pushed him into a corner, his chest tightened, and he struggled to catch his breath. “Did
you forget what I said?”

Amelie rubbed her ear, pausing to remember. “You mean the thing about me not being qualified to find
a stepfather for Bria? Which law states that Mr. Alston? Or is it your ego talking? Do you think that
anyone who’s been your ex-wife must simply rot away?”



Nevertheless, Leo was indeed letting his ego get in the way, but he never thought about letting her rot
away.

“You have people you want to care for, and I have mine. Even though we are Bria’s parents, we are
divorced now, and I hope you won’t cross my boundaries next time!” She spoke clearly and confidently,
with no hesitation in her words.

Hearing that, his face instantly went black, and he walked away from her without saying a word.

Is he angry? She shrugged in resignation. Everything she said was true, and if he could do it, why
couldn’t she say it?

…

When Amelie returned from her patrol, Blake was already awake. His clean, youthful face was tinged
with a hint of disappointment. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“Whether it’s one person or two, it’s still the same patrol. Since nothing happened outside, I went
alone.” She knew he had self-esteem, so she didn’t mention his condition and spoke indifferently. After
all, the reason he intended to give up ice skating was because of the injuries he had.

“It’s not the same,” he muttered. I should be the one patrolling alone, not you.

“You can’t go alone next time,” Blake said softly. He was always gentle with Amelie, even though he felt
unhappy. Then, his bangs fell over his eyes, making him look like a handsome young nobleman, but
there was a sense of loneliness and distress in his eyes. I can’t figure out how to get her to depend on
me.

“How about you come patrol with me, Blakey?” Jodie ran over, intentionally making her voice sound
coy. She was pretty annoyed when Chester scheduled her to patrol. However, when she saw Blake



had woken up, she immediately suggested he go with her.

“Okay.” He nodded.

Seeing him agree, she was overjoyed. “Really?” She thought he would refuse.

On the other hand, he didn’t say anything and got up from his sleeping bag. Then, he walked outside,
and she followed him out. When they were outside the building, she couldn’t help but hook her arm
around his and press her body against him.

Then, Blake stopped and looked at the arm that was hooked around his arm with his clear, innocent
eyes. Jodie saw that he was looking at her arm and quickly said in a coy voice, “I’m terrified. It’s so
dark around here, and it’s terrifying.”

“If you’re scared, Miss Alston, you should return first.” Following that, he pushed her hand away.
“Besides, I’m not interested in you, so you don’t need to waste your time with me.”

“Blakey—”

After hearing his first sentence, she was thrilled because she believed he cared about her. Then, his
final words were a slap to the face in the form of an emotional blow to her. Instantaneously, her smile
froze into a weird, grotesque expression as he wasted no more words and walked away. “Damn it!
Damn it!” She kicked and screamed for a while before regaining her senses.

Meanwhile, Elyse was upstairs, silently observing the scenes below before gazing at the man across
from her.

When Leo returned, she was awake and could tell he was in a bad mood. She had also seen him
talking with Amelie downstairs. Although Elyse didn’t know what they had said, it was clear from his



expression that Amelie had made him angry. Despite his anger, he tucked Amelie into her sleeping bag
and even removed his jacket to drape over her as if she was not warm enough.

Soon, Amelie was fast asleep and unaware of his caring act, but Elyse could see everything clearly.
Although his face was cold and harsh, the look in his eyes was tender. He seemed to want to envelop
the woman in front of him in his warm embrace. Although his movements were tense and his fingers
clenched hard, his touch was incredibly light. He wasn’t covering her with a blanket but hiding a
precious gem.

Nonetheless, Elyse was not unfamiliar with Leo’s tenderness because he used to treat her that way
too. However, all these privileges were gone, and she gripped the blanket tightly with tears in her eyes.
She wanted to scream and reclaim her place in his heart. That woman, Amelie, has taken everything
away from me! Ever since she appeared, I haven’t been happy for even one day!

Hatred filled her heart, and she suddenly had a wicked idea. Her gaze turned cold and locked onto
Jodie downstairs. Although I can’t make a direct move on Amelie, there is someone who can.
