A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 39

Chapter 39

“What’s going on?” Amelie hastily asked.

Hearing that something might happen to her father, she felt her heart racing quickly.

Abby scratched her messy hair. “I’m not sure either. I was at the store buying groceries when I saw your dad walking out with a knife. I asked him why he bought a knife, but he didn’t even look at me. He just walked away angrily.”

“He bought a knife and left?” She hadn’t seen her father coming home, much less a knife.

What is he planning to do with the knife?

“Your dad has always been a quiet person, but he’d always greet his old neighbors. He never ignored us like he did today,” Abby continued.

“Do you know if my dad got in a fight with someone recently?” Amelie hastily asked.

This was no small matter, for a person’s life might be on the line.

Abby shook her head. “Your dad is an amiable person, and everyone on this street likes him. How could he get into a fight with anyone? Moreover, your dad doesn’t like to bear grudges.”

Amelie also agreed with Abby’s words.

Her father wouldn’t get mad at anything, save for matters related to her. He was especially loving and serious when it came to her.

“Did you see where my dad went? Which direction did he head in?”

The less she knew of her father’s reasons for buying the knife, the more anxious Amelie became.

“That way!” Abby pointed ahead. “Probably in the direction of the small train station!”

“The small train station?”

It was a small town, and the residents couldn’t take the high-speed train or a plane from there. They generally took the train if they were going somewhere faraway.

Is Dad going somewhere far from home?

Amelie asked Abby to look after Bria, then hastily ran off to pursue her father.

As she ran, she dialed Steven’s number.

The call went through.

“Dad, why aren’t you back yet?” Amelie tried her best to ask calmly, not letting her father catch on.
