A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

“Did you just say that your grandpa lives in Quinn Town?” Leo instantly grabbed Bria’s arms as he asked.

Bria’s expression shifted as Leo’s sudden change in behavior startled her.

Leo realized that he was being impulsive, so he quickly let go. “Sorry, Bria, I just didn’t expect that your grandpa and your mommy would be from Quinn Town.”

Even though he had bumped into Amelie when he went to Quinn Town before, he initially thought that she was just following him there.

Later on, he thought that she was going there on vacation.

When they got married in the beginning, he was aggrieved, so he didn’t ask much about Amelie.

He knew nothing about her except for the fact that she had a father.

Because of this new revelation, his heart skipped a beat.

Bria knew he didn’t mean it, so she stopped being afraid as she said tentatively, “Mommy grew up there. There’s a huge river with fish in it. Grandpa took me fishing last time, and we caught a lot of them.”

Little children only chose to talk about things they remembered the most, so they couldn’t give the answers adults were looking for.

Nevertheless, Leo didn’t mind it, and his emotions slowly settled down.

All his investigations proved that Ellen was Big Eyes, the person who donated their cornea to him. What did that have to do with whether Amelie was from Quinn Town or not?

He was overreacting.

Soon came the day of the event at Bria’s school.

Early in the morning, Leo made arrangements for company matters, then hastily got ready to drive so that he could meet up with Bria and Amelie.

He had just walked a few steps when his phone rang. It was a call from Elyse.

Seeing Elyse’s number, Leo felt a sense of disgust rising within his heart, and he decided not to answer.

Elyse only attempted to call him once and never tried again after that.

However, when Leo walked to the entrance of the company, he saw her seated in a wheelchair, dressed thinly and looking pitifully at him.

Her face and lips were especially pale. She looked weak, sickly, and oh-so-pitiful.
