A Matter of Wife and Love

After hearing Matthew’s words, Amelie felt uneasy and even lost her appetite. Therefore, she left Bria with Julia after she arrived and drove straight to Quinn Town, which was not particularly near since it took her three hours to drive there.

When she arrived, it was already past 9.00PM. There were not many residents in the village or any special entertainment. The most the middle-aged and older folks did was group exercises, and they had almost dispersed.

There were one or two that saw how luxurious Amelie’s car was and came forward to have a look. So, she had no choice but to lower her window.

“Oh, it’s you, Elie.”

The two lived near Amelie’s home, so they recognized her and greeted her with bright smiles. Following that, they looked at her car from all angles while commenting, “Have you made a fortune? This is such a great car.”

The villagers were different from before and were now more knowledgeable. Therefore, many of the elderly villagers could recognize luxurious cars.

As Amelie did not drive her car on her last visit, the two elderly women were surprised when they saw her car.

She was anxious to get home but still smiled at them before greeting them politely, “Mrs. Olson, Mrs. Drew.”

The two nodded, and Mrs. Drew reached out her oily hand that was used to doing chores and patted Amelie’s shoulder. “Elie, you must’ve come here to pick up your dad, right? That’s a good idea.”

Hearing her mentioning Steven, Amelie thought about what Matthew had said and asked, “What happened to my dad?”

“You mean that matter? Jeez! I even feel embarrassed just talking about it!” Mrs. Drew used her wrinkly hand to cover her face, but she was giggling.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Olson was calmer. She also placed her hand on Amelie’s car window and explained, “Elie, your dad used to seem upright, but how did he turn into such a person? Men do develop bad habits after getting rich. After your dad sold his artwork and earned some money, he started to… His lifestyle became…Gosh!”
