A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 161

When Amelie had steadied herself, she got out of Toby’s embrace. Then, she turned around and saw Jodie standing not far away. She wore a mini dress while looking at Amelie in disdain.

To be honest, Amelie didn’t mind Jodie’s words. To her, Jodie was talking nonsense since she was a brainless woman. However, she couldn’t ignore Leo, who was standing beside Jodie. His gaze was cold and filled with emotions, seemingly as if accusing her of her actions.

I was going to fall. As Amelie thought about it, she felt upset and discouraged. After all, she realized that she wasn’t able to ignore Leo’s emotions, even after they had gotten a divorce.

In the meantime, Toby saw them and greeted them. “Hello, Jodie and Leo.” He looked calm and righteous, seemingly as if Jodie’s words did not affect him.

Leo lowered his eyes the whole time, making him look cold and stern. He had an intimidating presence around him as he stared at Amelie.

In the morning, he had a bad feeling in his stomach, so he rushed from Quinn Town to Clouson City. Only then did he discover that Melissa had sued Amelie and tried to take Bria’s custody. When he saw Amelie, he was going to explain, but he couldn’t make himself do so when he saw her and Toby hugging together. Hence, he smiled and said harshly, “It looks like Bria isn’t that important to you either!”

When Amelie heard his words, she was stunned.

Although he did not say whom he was implying, it was clear that he was talking about her! Obviously, he had misunderstood her being lovey-dovey with Toby and didn’t care about the lawsuit. How ironic of him to think. that she would not care if the Alston Family took Bria’s custody!

At that moment, her face turned cold, and she had an icy smirk spread against her lips.

It was he who caused this mess. Thus, how can he stand on the righteous side and criticize her?

“Bria is important to me. Moreover, I don’t think you will know how important she is to me if we talk about this in such a short time. If you are curious, you’ll see it when we are at the court!” Amelie said coldly with a stubborn look on her face. Then, she lost interest in looking at Leo’s stern expression and turned to Toby. “I’ll be going, then. I have some things to deal with.” Finally, she turned around and left.

As Leo looked at her figure, his face darkened.
