A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

While Blake silently swept his somewhat innocent gaze across the female guests sitting across from him, Amelie was wondering to whom he had taken a liking. So she looked toward him only to find that he had already been looking at her for some time.

His eyes were curved into crescents as he smiled gently, and that smile seemed to be laced with affection as it was uniquely lingering.

Goodness, that man sure can pull a smile that kills, Amelie mused.

Meanwhile, the hosts and audience followed Blake’s line of sight to where all the female guests were sitting. Everyone was like a radar, searching, wanting to dig up Blake’s secret immediately.

“Can I keep it a secret?” answered Blake after finally looking away.

As disappointed as the hosts were at Blake’s answer, they refused to give up and continued probing for a definitive answer. However, the man merely smiled no matter what question had been thrown at him.

In the end, when the hosts used up every trick in their book, the female host was so desperate she was nearly begging on her knees. “How about this? Why don’t you describe your impression of her to us?”

Amelie was also curious as to who in the world he came for, so she looked toward the young man with great interest before shifting her gaze inadvertently toward the other female guests.

The ladies were of different ages and personalities, but seemingly none matched Blake’s crisp personality.

Then again, who could be so certain about love in this era?

“She’s really amazing.” This time, Blake answered crisply instead of keeping quiet. “She’s the cutest and the most unyielding girl I’ve ever met. There’s nothing I can do about her most of the time.”

His lips curved into a gentle smile as he spoke, and in that smile laced a hint of coddling.

“Goodness, they really don’t call lady-killer a lady-killer for nothing. His smile is killing me,” exclaimed the female host as she pressed her hand against her chest.

She wasn’t exaggerating at all, for Blake’s affectionate smile laced with bashfulness hadn’t only intoxicated the female host but also the entire audience. The live stream portal was filled with various exclamations and gushes as well.

‘Goodness, this smile sure is intoxicating!’

‘Help me! I can’t breathe!’
