A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 408 The Night Was Long

Amelie knew that if she didn’t bring Bria along, Bria wouldn’t be able to sleep all night.

When they arrived, the Alstons were just about to have dinner.

The butler greeted them with a smile. “You’ve come just in time. Mr. Alston is eating alone.”

Amelie looked at the table.

It seemed that Leo had anticipated their arrival as there were two extra sets of utensils on the table.

Bria blinked a few times when she saw him and pursed her lips. She was excited when they had just arrived, but now, she was just standing still in silence.

Leo got up and walked over to them.

He bent down and hugged Bria.

Bria suddenly burst into tears.

Amelie looked at Bria balling her eyes out, knowing that she had been suppressing too much fear, worry, and grievances during this time.

Leo didn’t try to comfort her. He just held her and let her cry.

After a while, Bria finally stopped crying.

Only then did Leo carry her to the dining table where he wiped her tears with a tissue.

Amelie watched quietly as she saw him delicately wiping the tears off Bria’s face with the tissue, only pressing it on the areas with tears.

His long and straight eyelashes fluttered; it was neat and tidy as he focused on Bria.

He didn’t stop until all the tears on Bria’s face were wiped away. Then, he put down the tissue, took a bowl, picked up some food, and fed her one spoonful at a time.

Bria was obedient as she ate one spoonful at a time, even if it was something she didn’t like to eat.

“Miss Dillon, please have a seat.” The butler walked over and pulled out a chair for her.

Amelie hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

The butler asked if she wanted wine.

She declined and the butler filled a bowl of rice for her.

Amelie lowered her head and ate silently.

Across from her, Leo had finished feeding Bria. He started to eat.

He ate slowly and quietly as he was a very cultured man.

After dinner, Bria insisted on sleeping with Leo. She refused to go back no matter what.

Amelie couldn’t bear to force her to leave. So, she had to call Steven and inform him that Bria wouldn’t be home tonight.
