A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Don’t Expect to Escape Easily

“Leo, Leo! Wake up, wake up!”

When Leo opened his eyes in a daze, he felt a hand pat his face.

He reached out to hold that hand instinctively.

A severe headache had been kicking in as a result of intoxication, and he couldn’t see clearly whose hand it was.

As he was squeezing that hand, his thoughts stayed elsewhere.

His effort in getting up failed as he plopped to the ground due to a lack of strength.

The owner of the hand fell into Leo’s embrace after being pulled down by his weight.

Elyse bumped her head. It hurt. She tried to get up.

Halfway through her struggle, she noticed Leo looking at her with a meaningful gaze. Subconsciously, her cheeks colored.

“Leo.” Her voice turned softer with a touch of charm. It was so delicate that it could easily integrate with water.

Elyse originally came to pick Leo up after answering Toby’s call, but now that she saw Leo looking at her like this and didn’t respond when she called him, she suddenly came up with a bold idea.

In fact, they had never crossed the boundary. They had never had sex. She wondered if their relationship would improve if she moved past this stage.

He might even treat her like he used to before, like a precious treasure in his palm.

At that thought, Elyse grinned from ear to ear and started leaning into his lips and blowing some air.

She waited for him to take initiative.

As expected, Leo embraced her with both arms and raised the corners of his lips slightly. “Amelie.”

What?!

As if being splashed with a bucket of cold water, Elyse felt her emotions plunge to an all-time low from her high. Widening her eyes in shock, she shuddered.

What did Leo just call her?
