A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 42

Me? Something in return? Amelie was startled. “You want me to help you convince Owen Steward, the big shot of Skaynia, to collaborate with you?”

Toby had actually asked her for help on this before, but he just didn’t know that Amelie was Foxy before this.

He pondered for a moment, and just when Amelie was going to say something, he spoke ahead of her. “You know what? Never mind. Forget it” He didn’t know exactly why, but he was suddenly afraid that her impression of him would turn bad.

Just as she wanted to talk more about it, Steven and Bria came back.

“This is… Steven asked when he saw Toby. He didn’t know much about the relationships among the Alstons, so of course, he didn’t know Toby.

“This is Mr. Walsh. He came to learn about shoemaking,” Amelie answered quickly.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Dillon. I’m Toby Walsh.” Toby introduced himself after walking in front of Steven.

He looks neat and has a great smile, but it’s quite obvious that he’s not a handyman. “Nice to meet you too.” Steven studied him a little and didn’t say much, merely reaching out his hand to shake hands with him.

On the other hand, Bria recognized Toby, but she didn’t have much interaction with him. So when she saw him and recalled that he was her father’s good friend, she hid behind Steven timidly with her big and innocent eyes showing obvious dislike.

She didn’t like Leo and knew that his friends always bullied her mother, so her impression of Toby wasn’t good. However, Steven just thought that she wasn’t used to meeting strangers and didn’t mull over it.

“Dad, I thought you all would stay by the stream a little longer.”

Hearing that, Steven looked at Bria in his arms, who was soaking wet. “The wind outside is very strong. I’m worried that Bria will catch a cold.” As he stroked Bria’s wet head, he didn’t mind whether her wet clothes

Meanwhile, Bria huddled in his arms like a little kitten with her hands around his neck, enjoying the attention he was giving her.
