A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 206

All of a sudden, Bria swung her arm in Amelie’s direction and hit Amelie on her hand. Amelie was taken by surprise, and her phone slipped out of her fingers. “What happened, Bria?” Amelie turned to check on Bria first.

Bria simply shrugged before scratching the back of her head. The young girl looked like she didn’t know how she had bumped into her mother either. “Let me carry her,” Amelie said as she glanced at Leo. Leo handed the child over without saying much.

“Sure.” The staff member handed Amelie some tools, and her eyes lit up with admiration when she saw Bria. “You’re still helping out even though you’re injured, huh? That’s so nice of you,” the staff commented. Bria simply responded with a shy smile.

“How many sets of tools will you need?” the staff member asked.

Amelie hesitated for a while. “You can give me two sets,” she finally said.
