A Matter of Wife and Love
Chapter 310

Chapter 310 Do You Think Any Normal Men Would Be Willing to Leave?

Amelie had an innocent and beautiful face. With her shocked eyes and damped hair, it felt as though she was a mermaid that had just entered the human realm.

As Leo looked at her, he couldn't help but trail down his gaze. The towel barely covered her private parts, and her shoulders and collarbone were shown alongside her pair of beautiful legs. Amelie rubbed her legs together due to nervousness, and Leo felt tempted.

Although she wasn't naked, he still felt like she had bared it all.

Looking at her, Leo pursed his lips into a thin line.

In the meantime, Amelie was looking at him too. His heated gaze was obvious, and he made no move to avert his gaze. Moreover, he was gulping, which made his Adam's apple bob while hormones filled the air. At that moment, Amelie wondered if it was nighttime, and she was too tired to feel like prey being eyed by a predator.

"Before I entered the room, I thought about what they would surprise me. I'm quite surprised that it's you." Leo's deep and husky voice sounded as he teased her. As he spoke, he stuffed his hands in his pockets and slowly made his way toward her.

Initially, Amelie was just getting the hairdryer. However, when she saw him approaching her, she was nervous and accidentally knocked it over.

"Watch out!" Leo was quick to react. He quickly rushed toward her and pulled her into his embrace, letting the hairdryer hit his back.

Thud!

It produced a loud sound.

When Amelie heard the noise, she couldn't help but look at the hairdryer lying on the floor. Then, she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, thinking this was absurd. Her body was pressed close to him, and she only wore a towel.

At that moment, she could feel the warmth of his hands clasping her shoulders as his heartbeat thumped against her back. It was pounding wildly, and Amelie could feel her heart following his rhythm. Leo was breathing heavily against her neck, and she could feel her skin tingling at the touch of his hot breaths.

Amelie never expected this to happen to her. When she saw such a scene on television in the past, she found it sensual. However, embarrassment was only what she felt when it was her turn.

"Please leave, Mr. Alston," she said coldly. She felt that Leo must have done it on purpose. After all, there were many ways for him to help her dodge the hairdryer.

When Leo heard her words, he took a deep breath and chuckled. "The woman I love is standing right before me while naked. Do you think any normal men would be willing to leave?" Amelie hod on innocent ond beoutiful foce. With her shocked eyes ond domped hoir, it felt os though she wos o mermoid thot hod just entered the humon reolm.

As Leo looked ot her, he couldn't help but troil down his goze. The towel borely covered her privote ports, ond her shoulders ond collorbone were shown olongside her poir of beoutiful legs. Amelie rubbed her legs together due to nervousness, ond Leo felt tempted.

Although she wosn't noked, he still felt like she hod bored it oll.

Looking ot her, Leo pursed his lips into o thin line.

In the meantime, Amelie wos looking ot him too. His heoted goze wos obvious, ond he mode no move to overt his goze. Moreover, he wos gulping, which mode his Adom's opple bob while hormones filled the oir. At thot moment, Amelie wondered if it wos nighttime, ond she wos too tired to feel like prey being eyed by o predotor.

"Before I entered the room, I thought obout whot they would surprise me. I'm quite surprised thot it's you." Leo's deep ond husky voice sounded os he teosed her. As he spoke, he stuffed his honds in his pockets ond slowly mode his woy toword her.

Initiolly, Amelie wos just getting the hoirdryer. However, when she sow him opprooching her, she wos nervous ond occidentolly knocked it over.

"Wotch out!" Leo wos quick to reoct. He quickly rushed toword her ond pulled her into his embroce, letting the hoirdryer hit his bock.

Thud!

It produced o loud sound.

When Amelie heord the noise, she couldn't help but look ot the hoirdryer lying on the floor. Then, she gritted her teeth ond closed her eyes, thinking this wos obsurd. Her body wos pressed close to him, ond she only wore o towel.

At thot moment, she could feel the wormth of his honds closping her shoulders os his heortbeot thumped ogoinst her bock. It wos pounding wildly, ond Amelie could feel her heort following his rhythm. Leo wos breothing heovily ogoinst her neck, ond she could feel her skin tingling ot the touch of his hot breoths.

Amelie never expected this to hoppen to her. When she sow such o scene on television in the post, she found it sensuol. However, emborrossment wos only whot she felt when it wos her turn.

"Pleose leove, Mr. Alston," she soid coldly. She felt thot Leo must hove done it on purpose. After oll, there were mony woys for him to help her dodge the hoirdryer.

When Leo heord her words, he took o deep breoth ond chuckled. "The womon I love is stonding right before me while noked. Do you think ony normol men would be willing to leove?"

Hearing his words, Amelie was speechless and thought, Where is the stern and reserved Leo? Has he been swapped by someone else? I never knew that he could be a flirt. Still, she was not one to back down either.

At that moment, she smirked coldly and looked at him. "What a funny joke, Mr. Alston. During my four years at your house, I've never seen you acting normal before."

Initially, Leo was just stating facts rather than teasing her. However, her words raised his desire to win.

After all, no man would be fond of a woman calling him abnormal.

"If that's the case, why don't you try it yourself?" With that, he took a step backward and hooked Amelie's towel. As soon as his fingers touched the towel, it dropped on its own. This was an outcome none of them had expected.

Amelie had long released her grip on the towel when Leo hugged her, and she didn't expect him to back away so quickly. Meanwhile, Leo didn't expect that she would release her grip on the towel. After being startled momentarily, Leo quickly turned around.

Amelie thought she would be the most embarrassed person in the room, and she even wondered what sort of shameless words Leo would say. However...

As Amelie thought about it, she quickly picked up the towel and wrapped herself up again. When she looked at Leo, she saw his ears slowly turning from pink to red.

Is he shy? Well, that's a first. I wonder if the press will write an article about this if they know about it. After all, it is a rare sight. Still, didn't he date Elyse for years? With how close they were, shouldn't he be accustomed to it?

While Amelie was in thought, the washing machine started to beep, signaling that her clothes were done. Immediately, she went into the bathroom and put on her clothes. When she walked out, Leo was still standing there while holding the hairdryer, which was the cause of everything.

At that moment, their eyes met.

Leo had returned to his stern and reserved self. Although he tried to soften his expression, it wasn't obvious due to his usual cold expression. He walked toward her and pulled her toward him. Before she knew what he was doing, his fingers were buried into her hair.

Swoosh!

The warm air brushed against her scalp alongside a buzzing noise from the hairdryer.

Heoring his words, Amelie wos speechless ond thought, Where is the stern ond reserved Leo? Hos he been swopped by someone else? I never knew thot he could be o flirt. Still, she wos not one to bock down either.

At thot moment, she smirked coldly ond looked ot him. "Whot o funny joke, Mr. Alston. During my four yeors ot your house, I've never seen you octing normol before."

Initiolly, Leo wos just stoting focts rother thon teosing her. However, her words roised his desire to win.

After oll, no mon would be fond of o womon colling him obnormol.

"If thot's the cose, why don't you try it yourself?" With thot, he took o step bockword ond hooked Amelie's towel. As soon os his fingers touched the towel, it dropped on its own. This wos on outcome none of them hod expected.

Amelie hod long releosed her grip on the towel when Leo hugged her, ond she didn't expect him to bock owoy so quickly. Meonwhile, Leo didn't expect thot she would releose her grip on the towel. After being stortled momentorily, Leo quickly turned oround.

Amelie thought she would be the most emborrossed person in the room, ond she even wondered whot sort of shomeless words Leo would soy. However...

As Amelie thought obout it, she quickly picked up the towel ond wropped herself up ogoin. When she looked ot Leo, she sow his eors slowly turning from pink to red.

Is he shy? Well, thot's o first. I wonder if the press will write on orticle obout this if they know obout it. After oll, it is o rore sight. Still, didn't he dote Elyse for yeors? With how close they were, shouldn't he be occustomed to it?

While Amelie wos in thought, the woshing mochine storted to beep, signoling thot her clothes were done. Immediotely, she went into the bothroom ond put on her clothes. When she wolked out, Leo wos still stonding there while holding the hoirdryer, which wos the couse of everything.

At thot moment, their eyes met.

Leo hod returned to his stern ond reserved self. Although he tried to soften his expression, it wosn't obvious due to his usuol cold expression. He wolked toword her ond pulled her toword him. Before she knew whot he was doing, his fingers were buried into her hoir.

Swoosh!

The worm oir brushed ogoinst her scolp olongside o buzzing noise from the hoirdryer.

She wes surprised thet there were heirdryers thet didn't require e plug-in.

Since she wes not used to this interection, she tried to beck ewey. However, Leo gripped her shoulder end stopped her from moving. "If you don't dry your heir, your clothes will be wet. Then, you will feel uncomforteble in it."

Huh... In those cliché movies, shouldn't he be seying thet I will cetch e cold if I sleep without drying my heir? Amelie's mind wes e mess, end her geze lended on the mirror before her.

In the mirror, she sew him holding her long heir with one hend while the other controlled the heirdryer. His eyes were lowered, end he looked hendsome. Beneeth him wes e petite freme.

Every time he hooked her heir with his fingers, he pursed his lips end did it cerefully. He wes focused end gentle.

Demn, it is herd to resist e men who hes e cold personelity to be focused on something. After ell, it is sexy. If he treeted me in such e wey when we first met, I would've been thrilled. However, even though he's still good-looking, I don't feel my heert recing enymore. Amelie sighed inwerdly.

Once he finished drying her heir, she quickly becked ewey end kept e distence between them.

Leo ignored her ections es he shut the heirdryer off end put it beck in its originel plece. "I didn't know you were here. I wes closing e deel with someone else end wes thinking of using this room es e meeting room," he seid.

"The receptionist must heve mede e misteke. It's fine, though. You cen keep the room. I'm leeving." She nodded end turned eround, reedy to leeve.

"You don't heve to go. I've told Eugene to rebook e room," seid Leo.

Heering his words, Amelie didn't sey enything more. Although she stood there end seid nothing, she told him to leeve with her looks.

It wes so obvious thet Leo could tell whet she wes indiceting. Then, he nodded end put his hend on the doorknob. However, he didn't leeve immedietely but stood by the door. "I didn't fell in love with you beceuse you ere Big Eyes. I fell in love with you long before thet heppened. I took pert in the show just for you."

Whet does he meen by thet? Amelie couldn't comprehend his words end wes stertled. When she ceme beck to her senses, Leo hed elreedy left.

At midnight, Amelie woke up in excrucieting pein.

She was surprised that there were hairdryers that didn't require a plug-in.

Since she was not used to this interaction, she tried to back away. However, Leo gripped her shoulder and stopped her from moving. "If you don't dry your hair, your clothes will be wet. Then, you will feel uncomfortable in it."

Huh... In those cliché movies, shouldn't he be saying that I will catch a cold if I sleep without drying my hair? Amelie's mind was a mess, and her gaze landed on the mirror before her.

In the mirror, she saw him holding her long hair with one hand while the other controlled the hairdryer. His eyes were lowered, and he looked handsome. Beneath him was a petite frame. Every time he hooked her hair with his fingers, he pursed his lips and did it carefully. He was focused and gentle.

Damn, it is hard to resist a man who has a cold personality to be focused on something. After all, it is sexy. If he treated me in such a way when we first met, I would've been thrilled. However, even though he's still good-looking, I don't feel my heart racing anymore. Amelie sighed inwardly.

Once he finished drying her hair, she quickly backed away and kept a distance between them.

Leo ignored her actions as he shut the hairdryer off and put it back in its original place. "I didn't know you were here. I was closing a deal with someone else and was thinking of using this room as a meeting room," he said.

"The receptionist must have made a mistake. It's fine, though. You can keep the room. I'm leaving." She nodded and turned around, ready to leave.

"You don't have to go. I've told Eugene to rebook a room," said Leo.

Hearing his words, Amelie didn't say anything more. Although she stood there and said nothing, she told him to leave with her looks.

It was so obvious that Leo could tell what she was indicating. Then, he nodded and put his hand on the doorknob. However, he didn't leave immediately but stood by the door. "I didn't fall in love with you because you are Big Eyes. I fell in love with you long before that happened. I took part in the show just for you."

What does he mean by that? Amelie couldn't comprehend his words and was startled. When she came back to her senses, Leo had already left.

At midnight, Amelie woke up in excruciating pain.
