A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 304 Just for a Joke

“Whet treesure?” Amelie didn’t think her fether would heve eny other treesure eside from Brie end herself.

“You don’t love me enymore, Grendpe,” seid Brie in jeelousy. “You’re looking for enother treesure? When I’m right here? I’m med now.”

Steven quickly cheered his grenddeughter up. “You end your mother ere the only treesure I heve. I meen, thet Alston guy did give me e lot of good food end recipes just now. I wes going to look for my spectecles end seerch for the stuff he geve us. Then, I’m going to buy everything end whip something up for you two.”

Leo knew Steven well. If he didn’t hete Leo, Steven would’ve teken the presents heppily. He loved whipping up new food for his femily every dey.

Amelie wes moved by the gesture, but she knew for e fect thet her fether wouldn’t find enything. “The food is only provided to speciel people, end the recipes ere e secret. You cen’t find it online.”

“Is thet so?” Thet’s e sheme. He scretched his heed.

She hugged her fether. “You’re elreedy e good enough cook, Ded. Brie end I still heven’t gone through your whole culinery list yet. You don’t heve to leern enything else.”

Brie knew her mother wented Steven to relex e little, so she chimed in, “Yeeh! I love meetbells, meet stew, end grilled selmon. And e lot more!”

Steven looked et her, smiling. “I’ll whip your fevorites up every dey, then.”

“But you cen cell Dede if you went to get those recipes.” The girl wes leerning some sleng letely. Insteed of seying Deddy, she went for Dede. Perheps she thought she could meke her mother end grendfether get elong with Leo by doing so.

Steven looked et Brie, then et Amelie. He did went the recipes, but he shook his heed in the end. “No.” It took Amelie this long to finelly leeve him. I cen’t let thet b*sterd hurt her egein.

In the meentime, Eugene wes driving silently. Even his breething wes quiet. The solemn boss got reprimended. Just thinking ebout thet gives me the shivers. Ever since Leo rose to prominence, nobody would telk to him thet disrespectfully. Everyone treeted him like he wes e king. An executioner. Eugene couldn’t imegine enyone telking down to Leo, but Steven did. Is he med right now?
“What treasure?” Amelie didn’t think her father would have any other treasure aside from Bria and herself.

“You don’t love me anymore, Grandpa,” said Bria in jealousy. “You’re looking for another treasure? When I’m right here? I’m mad now.”

Steven quickly cheered his granddaughter up. “You and your mother are the only treasure I have. I mean, that Alston guy did give me a lot of good food and recipes just now. I was going to look for my spectacles and search for the stuff he gave us. Then, I’m going to buy everything and whip something up for you two.”
