A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 224

Leo placed the papers on top of his knees before flipping through them with the tips of his fingers. His gaze was lowered, and he wore a serious look on his face. After he finished the last page, he flipped it over and sat in silence for a long while. He pressed his palm against the last page and remained still for a long time.

The content and details of the file were extremely thorough, and it documented Amelie’s primary school life up until her university days. Everything was written clearly, yet there didn’t seem to have anything that stuck out for Leo. He flipped through the pages once more with an enigmatic look on his stone-cold face.

He felt a strong sense of familiarity after spending all his recent time with Amelie. He felt like he had known her even before their four-year marriage. Yet, none of this was mentioned in the file. He didn’t question Victor’s professional abilities, and he trusted Victor immensely. Does that mean I was the one who was overthinking it?

The next day, Amelie went to pick Bria up at 5.00PM sharp. She could see Bria being led out by someone else, even from a distance away. The girl seemed especially happy that day, and she skipped over to Amelie, revealing her fair legs under her princess dress. Her braids swung around in the air as she lifted her small face to beam and spoke to the person holding her hand.

Amelie followed Bria’s gaze and shifted her attention to the person holding Bria’s hands, and she saw a man, who was dressed in a dark green coat. The man had a same-colored scarf dangling around his neck. His figure was lanky, and he was dressed stylishly. The white shirt under the man’s dark coat seemed especially eye-catching due to the contrast in colors.

The little girl was worried that her mother would reject her suggestion again, so she tugged Amelie’s sleeve. “Please say yes, Mommy. Daddy traveled all the way here, and he must be hungry.
