A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Beauty Lies in the Eyes of the Beholder

Downstairs, outside Amelie’s apartment building, Toby leaned against his car door and stared at the woman who had just fished her house keys and hopped out of the car. Then, he tilted his chin and asked, “Aren’t you going to invite me upstairs since we haven’t met for two years?”

Amelie paused in her tracks at his question and turned to look at him. A second later, a smile spread across her face. “If you would like to catch up, you can ask me out to a cafe nearby, Mr. Walsh.”

She’s still not giving me a chance, eh? he thought, and a bitter smile flashed past his clean-cut face. Nevertheless, he checked the time on his watch and said, “It’s already late. Rest well when you get home. I don’t think you can return to Lumaria immediately, so we can catch up tomorrow.”

“Sure,” she answered, agreeing to his suggestion. “Thank you for the ride today. See you.”

Toby stared until her tall and lean figure disappeared into a corner after the lobby before he looked away, but he wasn’t in a hurry to get back into the car. Instead, he called a number. “I’m back. Let’s meet up, shall we?”

Ashton, Josiah, and Louie were already seated inside the VIP room when Toby arrived at the Prix Bar.

For the past few years, the country had been doing well economically, and both Josiah and Louie had stayed in the country to build their careers. Usually, they were busy with their work, but they decided to meet up when they heard that Toby had returned today.

As usual, Josiah seemed reliable and resilient. Meanwhile, the good-looking Louie was a typical stylish man because he had previously dabbled in the entertainment industry. Since his family was in the car-manufacturing business, he was the CEO as well as the brand ambassador.

Ashton remained the same as usual. He hadn’t improved at all—a good-for-nothing that still had the gall to look down on everyone despite his incompetence.

After Toby said hi to everyone, he furrowed his brows because he noticed that Leo wasn’t there. “Is Leo not coming?”
