My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 8


    Chapter 8


    Meanwhile, Ashton, who never joined in the conversation between the two as he was ying cards on


    his mobile phone, nced over. “Toby, please. Why do you see every woman as Amelie?” Ashton had


    made the same remark thest time Toby saw the dancer within the sea of dancers. In fact, Ashton


    would show apparent signs of distaste every time someone mentioned Amelie’s name. Since Leo was


    already in a bad mood in the first ce, Toby and Ashton weren’t much of a help in making him feel


    better with them constantly talking about his ex-wife. Eventually. he could no longer bear sitting and


    listening to the two as he rose to his feet and walked out of the private dining room. Finally, the one-


    hour-long live stream ended. However, Amelie and Bria were still riding the high of their sessful


    stream. After Bria removed the little fox mask, she blinked her bright eyes and looked at Amelie as she


    said, “Mommy, it’s my first time seeing you smile so happily. You look so pretty when you smile!” When


    she heard that, she was momentarily stunned. Yeah. After four years of marriage, I almost forgot how


    to put on a genuine smile. Still, she pinched Briar’s adorable chubby cheeks as she praised, “You’re


    amazing too. I never knew you could dance so well.” Just as Bria was fascinated by her, Amelie, too,


    was astonished by Bria’s performance today. Bria looked down at her words and sheepishly said,


    “Actually, I have always liked dancing, but I also know Grandma and Aunt Jodie dislike it. I am afraid


    that it will annoy them, and they will, in turn, scold you, so…” Tears instantly welled up in her eyes


    when she heard Bria’s answer. So that’s the reason! After getting married, I have been living with my


    mother-inw and sister-inw. Never once did we move out of the house. I’ve always remembered


    that Bria would move her body to the music within a few months of her birth, and when she reached 1


    or 2 years old, she would dance away and even choreograph her own dance moves. But for some


    reason, she became less fond of dancing as time went on. Initially, Amelie thought that Bria just didn’t


    like dancing anymore. Hence, never once did it cross her mind that Bria did it out of fear that Jodie and


    Melissa would scold her. A sense of guilt surged within her. Once again, she hugged Bria tightly and


    said, “Don’t worry, Bria. You can dance as much as you want in the future. You no longer have to worry


    about anything else. Also, there’s one more thing that I have to tell you. We will no longer live at


    Grandma’s house. Your father and I have separated too. A-Are you willing to leave them and stay with


    me?” Since she didn’t discuss with Bria about the divorce, she was highly uneasy at this moment. “Can


    I really stop staying at Grandma’s house?” Bria was merely stunned for a moment, and a hint of joy


    immediately surfaced on her face as she cheered, “Hurray!” “Bria, you don’t want to… stay there


    either?” Amelie asked, and she was somewhat surprised by her response. “I don’t like staying there.”


    Bria shook her head without thinking twice. “Grandma and Aunt Jodie isn’t fond of you and me, so I


    dislike them too!” s, her statement only aroused Amelie’s deeper sense of guilt. Due to the fact that


    Amelie’s father only worked as a shoemaker, the Alstons always felt that her family background wasn’t


    as prestigious as theirs. So they constantly gave her an attitude, and as a result, they were prejudiced


    against Bria too. Now, three years had passed since Bria was born, yet her existence waspletely


    kept hidden from the outside world. Perhaps in the eyes of the Alstons, Amelie giving birth to the


    family’s descendants was a disgrace and a stain on their prestigious lineage. Amelie couldn’t help but


    think, Will everything turn out differently if I hadn’t made such an impulsive decision back then and


    secretly given birth to Bria and raised her by myselfter after I found out I was pregnant? After they


    ended the live stream, Julia told her that the studio apartment she would stay in was already vacant


    and ready for her to move in. Hence, Amelie took Bria to the apartment she bought before marriage.


    Although she didn’te from a wealthy family, she made a lot of money through live streams. She


    bought this studio apartment with the money she earned from live streams. “Hi, Master, my name is


    Leony, and I’m your most loyal, intelligent steward. Just give me the order if you have anything that you


    wish me to do for you. I will definitely work extremely hard to serve you.” A respectful and enthusiastic


    voice sounded from inside as soon as she opened the door. She couldn’t help but chuckle, “Julia, are


    you an idiot? I left that house just so I couldpletely forget about him. Why did you program the


    smart home system to have the same name and even share the same voice as Leo?” “You were


    wronged so much while living in his house. Since you can’t get them topensate you in hard cash,


    the least you can do is topensate you in terms of mental state. So let me tell you: not only did I


    program the system to talk in that b*stard’s voice, but I also inserted his mother and sister’s voices in


    the system too. So you can switch between their voices and order them around as much as you likeN?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    whenever you feel upset.” No one knew about Amelie’s pain and grievances for the past four years


    better than Julia. Likewise, she was also the most outraged by the injustice that Amelie had suffered.


    Still, Amelie epted her goodwill and gave her an ‘I don’t know what to do with you’ eye roll as she


    led Bria into the house. Everything in the new house sparked Bria’s curiosity, especially when she saw


    she even had her own little room that was painted pink and filled with beautifulce dolls. Bria joyfully


    ran to her own little heaven to y, whereas Amelie and Julia were at the coffee table. They were


    browsing through their phones while sipping on the newly bought tea. “Say: you own so many vis, yet


    why did you choose this apartment? Don’t you think it’s too small?” Nheless, Amelie didn’t care


    about the size of her home. As she swept her gaze at the house, she said, “I think it’s better to live in a


    less spacious house. Then, at least, it won’t look so empty.” After she had lived in the Alston Residence


    for four years, it had made her sick and tired of living in a house with an empty and uninviting vibe.


    “Besides, I bought this ce before I got married. I just want to go back to being me.” Initially, tears


    almost welled up in Julia’s eyes because of her words. But that sadness was bulldozed over by


    overwhelming joy when she heard Amelie say that she wanted to return to her former self. “That’s the


    spirit.” As the two talked, they started scrolling their phones out of upational habit. The poprity of


    the news about Jamie and Amelie had yet to subside, making Julia beam with happiness from time to


    time as she browsed through her mobile phone. “Everyone seems to be quite in favor of you two being


    together. In my opinion, Jamie is much better than that sc*mbag Leo.” “I can’t deny that Jamie is a


    good guy, but you can’t randomly matchmake us. I just want to live a happy life with Bria. I don’t wish to


    talk about love right now.” Falling in love with Leo alone was torture enough tost her for a lifetime.


    So, the current Amelie no longer held hope for love. “Damn!” Two were chatting when Julia suddenly


    mmed her hand on the coffee table, causing the teacup to move away from its saucer. “Leo is


    absolutely the trashiest guy I’d ever seen! You two have just divorced, yet he’s already nning to have


    an engagement with Elyse?! Did he not learn any lesson after getting cheated on by her back then?!


    He’s nning to let himself constantly get cheated on for the rest of his life?!” Amelie looked over upon


    hearing Julie’s outraged cries and saw the post on Elyse’s Facebook page. There was a photo


    attached, and in the image, Elyse’s face was lit up with joy as her fingers intertwined with another


    person. Even though the other person’s face wasn’t revealed in the photo, Amelie still recognized the


    red mole on the person’s middle finger. It’s Leo! The words in the caption clearly stood out as they


    stated. ‘The season of love has arrived. A season that’s suitable for engagement.’ Amelie merely


    nced at the picture and smiled faintly as she said, “They are now just passers-by to me. It’s none of


    my business whether they want to get engaged or get married.” After that, she looked away and didn’t


    bother taking a second look. “Still, I’m very upset! If you hadn’t stood up for him back then, Leo would


    have been humiliated long ago, and the Alston Corporation would have suffered from downfall too!” In


    a fit of anger, Julia kept hitting the table hard, creating a loud noise. “Not only is he ungrateful to you,


    but he also ignored you! I know you won’t make a fuss about these things, but what’s the meaning of


    him making such an official announcement about him being together with Elyse? Isn’t that the same as


    telling you that everything you did was superfluous and you had no one but yourself to me for all the


    grievances you suffered?” “That’s precisely the thing that’s running in his mind,” Amelie sighed, already


    epting reality as it is. “F*ck! What a b*stard!” Julia grabbed her teaspoon and scratched it against


    the coffee table,pletely imagining it as Leo. “It’s okay if you lose in terms of love, but we can’t just


    sit here and let him look down at you. Since he sees you as a vile woman he can trample on at will; we


    should alsoe up with something to suffocate him! How about we call in our mutuals, key, this


    time? He definitely can crush Leo with his invincible noble demeanor!” Julia quickly decided and picked


    up her mobile phone to make a call. “Please stoping up with crazy ideas.” Amelie feared that Julia


    would think of some weird ns. “You have already involved me in scandals with two men this month.


    Those who don’t know me will really think I’m a flirtatious woman. Besides, key is different from


    Jamie. He’s pure and innocent. I can’t bear to get his innocence tainted if you shove him into my arms.”


    “You.” An exasperated look was written all over Julia’s face, for this wasn’t the oue she’d hoped


    for. Anyhow, Julia eventually had to toss the idea into the bin as she couldn’t change Amelie’s decision.


    Although she had no ns to take advantage of key, Amelie still took Bria to visit him after she


    learned that he had returned.
