A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

“W-Why do you want to accompany her all of a sudden? Her mental state hasn’t been all that well recently, so even if you go, you’ll be scaring her.” Elyse tried to deter Leo from visiting Ellen.

It was then that she realized how quiet it was in the room.

There was a strange atmosphere affecting her.

Unable to withstand this, Elyse turned around to look at Leo only to find that Leo was also looking at her.

His icy gaze seemed like it was looking straight into her innermost thoughts, digging up all her secrets.

Frightened by this, Elyse found herself unable to stand properly, as her knees gave out somewhat.

Hasn’t Leo just been asking about her condition out of courtesy?

Why does he suddenly want to see her?

Don’t tell me he knows?

Elyse thought about that, but then she shook her head.

Unless he found Ellen, there’s no reason he would suspect me.

But if he really found Ellen, he wouldn’t act like this.

When Elyse was still around Leo, even though she would make a fuss over everything, she was, by no means, brainless, as she still more or less understood Leo as a person.

After deducing this, she calmed herself down.

On the other hand, Leo, who did not state whether he believed her words or not, walked outside.

Upon seeing him walk out, Elyse held her chest, feeling like it was about to burst.

That was scary.

“If you don’t want to go, I’ll go by myself.” At the entrance, the man suddenly stopped and stated.

“Eh?”

Elyse’s heart rate immediately shot up to the maximum. She thought she was going to have a heart attack.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Leo left.

After half an hour, they found themselves standing in front of Michael’s house.

Two blooming pomegranate trees were planted on both sides of the entrance, making it seem very red.

Although Elyse looked calm on the surface, she kept fiddling her fingers, unable to hide the fear within.
