A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 374 Being Cold to Him

“Mr. Walsh. Miss Dillon. Where are you both here?” Chandler was surprised when he saw them.

Toby dusted the footprints off his white shirt while Chandler carried the child in his arms like he had done it a million times. It was hard to believe he wasn’t married.

“Oh, my. Did the child do that to your shirt?” Chandler looked uneasy at the sight.

“It’s okay.” Toby waved his hands nonchalantly and smiled brightly. “Why are you here, though?”

Even though Chandler was adopted by the Alston Family, he was barely acquainted with Toby. So, they only knew of each other at the most and had never talked to one another besides the basic pleasantries required.

“I’m here to help take care of the children.” Chandler smiled softly. “I’m free anyways, and the kids are cute.”

Toby didn’t respond and gave a silent nod instead. It was unclear what he truly thought about Chandler’s reason.

Chandler carried the child with one arm and lightly patted his head with another before sighing lightly, “These children are lucky to have Leo adopt them. If not, they’ll be an orphan for life. I’m an orphan. I know how tough it is. So, I wanted to do something to lessen the trauma of their parents abandoning them.”

He was so emotional that Toby felt rather uncomfortable and awkwardly coughed into his fist in response.

On the other hand, Amelie wasn’t one to butt in other people’s problems. So, she stayed quiet.

Then, Chandler’s gaze landed on her. “Leo will celebrate their birthdays all on one day. It’s in two days. Would you like to come, Miss Dillon?”

Amelie guessed his intention and just smiled with a shake of her head. “I’m sorry. I’ll be busy.”

After her rejection, she noticed the child in Chandler’s arms staring at her and felt terrible. So, she offered, “I’ll get them birthday gifts, though.”

“Oh, sure.” He gave a quick smile as if he was very disappointed but tried not to show it.

Finally, he nodded gratefully. “I thank you on their behalf.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Then, Amelie and Toby left.
