A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 88 Leo Is Disappointed Because Of Elyse’s Behavior

Jodie turned her head and walked over to Leo. “Leony, Elyse donating her corneas to you is not just about you; it involves our entire family! We can’t possibly mistreat someone who has contributed so much, right? I heard that there is a world-class ophthalmology medical team that has successfully cured many patients initially deemed unsavable by doctors. Let’s give Miss Clayton a proper examination. If there is something wrong with her eyes, we have to help her even if it costs half of our family’s fortune.”

As soon as these words fell, Elyse and Laura froze again, their ears abuzz.

There was no way Jodie would do something so kind.

She must have heard something somewhere, which was why she was trying to start something here.

“Jodie, this is between your brother and me. Can we solve this ourselves?” Elyse kept up with her flawless image and whispered as she held in her worries.

Her elegant and noble appearance highlighted how ignorant, rowdy, and vexatious Jodie was.

Jodie was so angry that she was about to blow a gasket. She raised her head to refute, only to see that Leo was massaging his nose bridge.

“Go home now, Jodie,” he muttered.

“But Leony!” Jodie stomped her feet angrily.

However, she knew Leo’s temper, which was why she stormed off without saying anything else.

Elyse felt the tightness in her chest relax slightly after she managed to get rid of Jodie. She finally felt more alive.

Laura, too, let out a breath of relief.

Leo turned to look at Laura. “Please get us two cups of coffee, Miss Harris.”

“Yes, Mr. Alston.” Laura then hurried off.

“Leony!” Elyse hopped over and linked her arm through his with a smile on her face. “Jodie is still young. Don’t get mad at her.”

Instead of replying to her, he opened the door and brought her into his office before closing it with a click.

A bashful smile quickly hung on Elyse’s lips when she saw him close the door.

I bet he wants to spend some hot and steamy time alone with me.

Even though Leo had suggested they reconcile after returning to the country, they hadn’t done anything more intimate than holding hands.

Elyse had long wanted to get closer to him.

With his long fingers pressed against the surface of the table, he suddenly announced, “Elyse, I’ll take you to get your eyes
