A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 317

A Deep Impression of That Night

Work ended a little late, and it was already 8.00PM by the time Amelie returned to Halport. Steven said
that he had something urgent to attend to, so he was going back to Quinn Town. The old lady next door
was taking care of Bria for the time being, so Amelie had to go home in time to fetch Bria.

After that, Steven reminded her about getting groceries because he didn’t want Amelie and Bria to
starve.

As Amelie listened to her father’s loving voice, she allowed a faint smile on her lips. She was both
exasperated and touched. Most parents loved and cared for their children even though they were
grown-ups.

Amelie obediently said yes to all of Steven’s nagging. Steven talked for a while, then finally hung up.

Amelie touched her ear, which was heated by the phone. As she ended the call, she felt around for her
keys. She had just touched the keys when she froze in front of the entrance.

A man was standing under the warm yellow glow of the streetlights in front of the entrance of her
apartment. He had a tall build and long legs, and his body proportions followed the perfect standard for
models.

Even in the dim light, the stern aura emanating from his body was unmistakable.

Leo kept facing the door, but it seemed like he had eyes on the back of his head, for he turned around
as soon as Amelie stopped walking.

He pursed his lips as he simply stared at her with his deep gaze. His eyes were alluringly deep, like an
endless ocean.



Amelie was stunned for a moment before asking, “Mr. Alston? Why are you here?”

Leo didn’t reply as he shifted his position. He then began striding toward her.

He constantly kept his eyes on her, and with every approaching step, the alluring sensation thickened.

Amelie subconsciously took a step back. A wary and nervous look appeared in her pretty eyes.

He took note of her minuscule shifts in expression, his gaze gradually darkening as he stopped a few
inches before her. “Miss Foxy doubted my capabilities in public. I feel that it is necessary for me to
come in person so that you can verify it yourself.”

Amelie was speechless.

So, he watches the live stream too?

This was something she had never expected before. In her memories, Leo was a workaholic, and his
mind was filled with nothing but work.

Even if he took an occasional break, he would read up on economic news or reports from tech-based
news outlets.

“It’s a misunderstanding.” She wanted to signify that the two only had a brief meeting in the guest room
of the hotel, so they couldn’t have done anything.

Despite saying that, however, she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

She didn’t think anything of it in the live stream, but when she was in front of the person himself, she
felt uneasy regardless.

Leo was a tall man, and he was standing close to her while looking down at her. She felt like a little
mouse with people watching her every move, and she had nowhere to run.



She uneasily licked her lips, and her eyes darted subconsciously.

Suddenly, Leo reached out, but Amelie didn’t know what he was trying to do, so she instinctively
dodged him.

There was a chill on her back as it pressed against the wall. The man’s hand extended forward and
pressed on the wall while his other hand did so as well, trapping her between his chest and the wall.

Amelie was feeling even more trapped. Confused, Amelie felt her heart beating wildly as she stared at
him with a wary look in her eyes.

She saw his lips curving into a half-smile. “So, was that sarcasm instead, and you actually think of me
as a powerful person?”

Amelie said nothing.

“Looks like you have a deep impression of the night we shared.”

His words were like a torch that caught fire, burning Amelie so strongly. The man was supposed to be
stern with his words, but he was surprisingly skilled at making suggestive talk.

Amelie wanted to appear indifferent and talk seriously to him like before, but after he said that, her
brain seemed to be glued together, and she couldn’t quite come up with a reaction.

She had always been perfectly capable of handling other men, but Leo was a little hard to deal with.

Is it because this man shared an intimate moment with me before?

Amelie was quite regretful about this matter.

Leo noticed Amelie’s troubled expression, and when he saw her pursing her lips, his gaze darkened
even more. Her behavior was a stark contrast to her carefree attitude online. A sliver of charm was



injected into her innocent expression, and it was simply too appealing.

He subconsciously gulped, his Adam’s apple moving sensually as he did so. He gazed at her lips, then
lowered his head.

Almost uncontrollably, his lips searched for hers, but Amelie was silent. Just as Leo’s lips were about to
find Amelie’s, he felt a piercing pain on his foot.

He subconsciously let out a groan, after which Amelie swiftly ducked under his armpit and escaped.

“If you want to fulfill your desires, Mr. Alston, there’s a decent club two streets down. Perhaps you’ll find
a type you fancy there.” She turned around and gave him a challenging look, then tapped the sole of
her shoes against the floor.

Along with that tap, Leo felt his foot hurting even more from her merciless stomp. Amelie couldn’t be
bothered to waste more time on him as she waved leisurely and chimed, “Have fun!”

With that, she hastily opened the door and dashed inside to create a barrier between them.

“Dada.”

Just then, a cute voice rang out. Amelie froze halfway through her action of closing the door. She
turned to see Bria walking out with Mrs. Mason, the old lady next door, holding her hand.

Bria blinked with her gigantic eyes, then looked at Leo in surprise.

Leo pretended to be fine as Bria hastily ran up to him. “Dada, did you come to us because you knew
that Grandpa wasn’t home?”

Amelie was speechless.

Great.



She had planned to threaten Leo with her dad if he did anything he shouldn’t, but her darling daughter
had exposed everything.

“Oh, so this is Bria’s father? He’s so handsome.”

Mrs. Mason only moved in some time ago, so she hadn’t met Leo yet. She looked like she found some
treasure when she saw Leo, her surprise unbridled as she commented, “No wonder Bria looks so
pretty. She got it from her parents!”

“Mrs. Mason.”

Amelie had no choice but to walk out and greet Mrs. Mason.

The older lady nodded in response, then looked between Amelie and Leo. “What a perfect match!”

Amelie was speechless. She opened her mouth to say that there was nothing between them, but Mrs.
Mason spoke up smilingly before she could say anything. “I won’t interfere in your family reunion now.
Goodbye.”

Right in front of Amelie, Leo took Bria into his arms as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Bria
immediately clung to his neck. “Mama, I’m so hungry.”

Amelie looked at the two in exasperation. In the end, she had no choice but to open the door and allow
Leo to enter as well.

Bria was extremely excited about Leo’s arrival as she blabbered on and on, saying, “Dada, the
amusement park was so fun! I love it so much.”

Leo always felt like he owed Bria something. When he heard her say that, he nodded and replied,
“Since you like it so much, we can go there again.”



“It’s okay.” Bria shook her head, her gaze secretly turning in Amelie’s direction. “But Mama will be
taking me to a light show tonight. Dada, if you want to go, I can invite you.”

Steven was the one who arranged for the event, and Amelie knew of it beforehand.

When she saw Bria about to invite Leo along, her pretty face changed color as she gave Bria a warning
look.

Bria immediately bit her lip pitifully and slid out of Leo’s arms. She ran to Amelie and tugged at the
latter’s clothes incessantly. “Mama, you always say that we should repay the kindness. Dada took me
to the amusement park, so I should invite him to the light show in return.”

Bria had just learned some new vocabulary, and she wasn’t quite sure about the meaning, but she was
already acting like a master.

Amelie couldn’t find the words to retort Bria while Leo curved his lips in satisfaction. As expected of my
daughter!

Bria also curved her lips at him. “Dada, hurry and make dinner. We’ll be setting out after we eat.”

She had been testing her father in her mother’s stead for a long time. Even though her father did a lot
of bad things before, he sincerely cared about her mother.

Bria felt that in comparison to other people, her father was more suited to be with her mother.

“Okay.” Without another word, Leo turned around and went into the kitchen. As for the person being left
out, she could only stand in silence.
