A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Amelie woke up with a start, startled. For a moment, she thought she was still at the Alston Residence and Leo had come back in the middle of the night, kicking the door again.

She hastily got out of bed, almost tripping and falling.

When she ran to the door and saw Steven there, she finally remembered that she had left the Alston Residence, and she no longer had to open the door for Leo.

As Amelie was rubbing her eyes, Steven had already opened the door.

From outside the door, a messy head poked in.

Amelie was surprised at first, but when she took a closer look, she realized that it was Abby.

Abby strode in jovially, and when she saw Steven, she exclaimed in exaggeration, “Hey there, Dillon. You didn’t run into any trouble yesterday, did you?”

Steven looked at her in confusion.

Abby didn’t mince her words at all. “Yesterday, when Amy knew that you bought a knife and went out, she thought you were about to cause trouble. She was so terrified! But Dillon, why exactly did you buy a knife yesterday?”

Amelie didn’t even have time to stop Abby before the latter spilled everything.

An obviously awkward look appeared on Steven’s face, his expressions unnatural.

“What brings you here, Mrs. Gordon?” Amelie interrupted her.

“Oh, uh…” Abby was tongue-tied since she was just here to spectate.

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Noticing that Amelie kept staring at her, she scratched her head awkwardly, then peered inside the house. “How many days are you planning on staying here, Amy?”

“She’ll be here for a while, Steven answered in Amelie’s stead.

“A while, huh. Abby turned a little bashful.

Then, she continued, “For someone as fortunate as you, you probably can’t get used to living in small houses like this after marrying a rich husband.”

Amelie didn’t make a sound as she simply looked at Abby.

Abby hastily pointed in the distance. “A grand hotel recently opened in town, and it was built to accommodate wealthy people who come here on vacation. The environment and service are excellent there, and even all the three meals of the day are included. Amy, you should stay there for a bit with your dad to show him more of the world.”

I’ve lived long enough; what more is there in the world to see?” Steven didn’t seem too interested.

Amelie looked at Abby. She had already guessed what Abby was trying to say.
