A Matter of Wife and Love

“Let’s talk outside.” Leo suddenly interrupted her. Then, he turned back around and set Bria on the ground before patting her tiny head. “I need to head outside to talk about something. I’ll come back and play with you later.”

Her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at him, but she still nodded.

While standing back up, he looked at Amelie and informed her, “I’ll be back soon.”

That surprised Amelie. Is he informing me of his whereabouts? Is there a need to do so? Perhaps this is the courtesy between the guest and the host?

After hearing that Leo was willing to talk outside, Elyse took the initiative to maneuver her wheelchair out the door. Following that, he strode outside.

Amelie considerately closed the door to prevent hearing about their conversation. When she turned around, she saw Bria still standing in her spot.

The smile on the kid’s face was long gone, and she was currently looking at Amelie with her large eyes, tightly pouting her lips. “Will Daddy leave with that woman?” she asked.

Internally, she hoped that her daddy would stay because what child would not want that?

Amelie walked over and squatted down before embracing her. “Your daddy has his life and work, so he can’t always stay by your side, but he’s already trying his best to make time to be with you. So, you have to understand his situation. Alright?”

Although divorced, Amelie never wanted to become enemies with Leo, especially before their children. Therefore, she always tried to be as fair to him as possible.

“I understand.” Bria was still unhappy, but she no longer felt conflicted.

“How about we play with your building blocks?” Amelie held Bria’s hand.

…

Outside, Leo stood in the corridor that was coincidentally adjacent to the door to Amelie’s home. When he saw her closing the door, he could not help but frown.
