A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 411

Chapter 409 Speechless

“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.

She only looked up when Leo entered the room.

She glanced at him and quickly lowered her head.

Although Leo was her older brother, she was too ashamed to meet him.

“I’m sorry, Leony,” she said softly after a while, tears streaming down her face.

Leo watched her silently.

Jodie had never suffered any hardship ever since she was a child. She was always selfish and self- centered.

Even so, she was extremely embarrassed when she realized all the absurd things she had done.

Leo did not say whether he forgave her or not. He just frowned and watched her.

Behind, Eugene watched this scene from afar with a solemn mood.

He felt sorry for Leo.

His father, the person he respected the most, had passed away early. Even though there were plenty of family members left behind, their cruelty was worse than that of strangers.

“Rest well,” Leo said finally after a long time.

Jodie was crying, but when she heard his words, she suddenly looked up at him. There were still tears in her eyes.

Eugene also looked at Leo and understood what he meant. Even the most generous person could not forgive the betrayal and harm that was caused by a family member.

Even if he didn’t forgive her, they were still siblings after all.

Leo would still treat Jodie the same way before.

“Leony!” Jodie seemed to have realized the same thing too. She called out to him as he was about to leave.

It was as if she had made up her mind when she spoke again. “Send me abroad.”

Leo raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised.

Jodie held the corners of her clothes tightly. “I want to go abroad and get away from everything here.”

Foreign countries were once the last place she wanted to go. Now, it had become her only refuge. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Even if it’s for my sake, please…”

She couldn’t stay here anymore as she was too ashamed of herself.

After a long period of contemplation, Leo uttered his agreement softly and walked out.

Behind him, Jodie had wanted to call out to him several times. She wanted to ask if she still had the right to be his sister.

In the end, she didn’t ask anything.

Right?

What right?

She herself couldn’t accept what she had done, so how could she expect anything from others?

It seemed as if Jodie had grown up overnight. Well, not just grown up, but she had even aged.

Everything in her world had lost its color.

She could imagine how desolate her life would be from then on.

But what could she do? It was all her fault, and this was her karma. Whom could she blame?

That day, Eugene sent Jodie to the airport.

Leo didn’t send her off.

She also didn’t want him to.

It would be awkward. They should just stay in each other’s hearts forever and never see each other again. That was the best way to let go.

Amelie brought Bria and the puppy back home. After that, she went to the company.

Leo had just woken up. The affairs of the company should have been handed over to him, but since he had just woken up, Amelie didn’t want to rush him.

Another busy day passed.

Fortunately, she enjoyed challenges. Even though she was really busy, there were barely any signs of exhaustion on her face.

Amelie was worried about her child and afraid that Steven could not handle the puppy. So, she quickly rushed back home.

When she pushed the door open, the familiar aroma of food filled her nose.

Bria sat quietly on the mat, playing with the puppy.

Both of them looked forward. It was as if they were waiting for something.

After a while, she heard some sounds from the kitchen.

Steven walked out with a big bowl of soup.

Amelie rushed up to help Steven, but when she looked up and saw the person behind Steven, she was stunned.
