My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 28
Chapter 28 His Bottom Line
Only then did Toby sneer, “Come to your senses. Don’t think you are very shrewd! It’s easy for things to
backfire on you.”
After speaking, he pressed the corners of his lips, looking like he did not really mean anything.
In this room, only a fool like Ashton would think that Elyse was just helping Amelie. Elyse wanted Leo
to take away the childpletely and separate the family!
Shameless, but also sinister!
Amelie took Bria all the way to the car and didn’t say a word to Bria until they got in the car. Bria usually
cared about Amelie’s attitude toward her the most, so at this moment, seeing Amelie pursing her lips,
Bria could not help but tug at the corner of Amelie’s clothes.
“Mommy, I was wrong.”
“Tell me. What did you do wrong?” Amelie’s tone was not serious, but her expression was.
Bria bowed her head. “I shouldn’t have dropped their antiques.”
Saying this, she bit her lip and blinked her eyes guiltily. There was already a slight dampness on her
eyshes.
Seeing her like this, Amelie’s heart ached slightly and she took Bria into her arms.
“Your true fault is not protecting yourself.”
Bria raised her head in confusion and looked at her with big, innocent eyes. Amelie further prompted,
“When you dropped an antique vase, did you think about your own safety? What can you do if you are
injured by a broken vase? If the vase is broken, we can buy it again, but if you are hurt, there will be a
scar forever. Remember to protect yourself as much as possible; no matter what the situation is.”
“Got it.”
Knowing that her mother was angry because her mother was worried about her, Bria felt warm all of a
sudden.
Seeing that Bria had a good attitude toward admitting her mistake, Amelie patted her little head
lovingly. “This time, I me myself because I didn’t protect you well.”
“Mommy, you don’t need to me yourself. You’re already good to me.”
Bria was satisfied with Amelie.
“However, I really don’t like living with Grandma. Aunt Jodie is so fierce and Grandma is so cold.”
As soon as the Alston Family was mentioned, Bria couldn’t help but shiver. Seeing Bria’s fearful look,
Amelie thought of what she saw in the live broadcast room.
Jodie did not look like she was Bria’s aunt at all. Her behavior was like she was dealing with an enemy.
“Don’t worry, Bria, I won’t let you go through this kind of thing again in the future,” Amelie promised Bria
while patting her head.
Bria hadn’t slept well at Alston Residence, but now that she returned to Amelie’s side, she suddenly
rxed. It didn’t take long for her eyelids to droop. In an instant, she fell asleep. Looking at the
exhausted girl in her arms, Amelie hugged her tight in distress.
Halfway through, Julia and Jamie called and asked about Bria’s situation. Even ke sent a message.
They all saw Bria shouting for help in the live broadcast room.
“It’s okay, Bria hase out of the house. She’s in the car with me right now,” Amelie said.
“The Alston Family is so inhuman!” Julia was the most hot-headed one of them all, and among the
three, she had the angriest reaction.
“How could they treat Bria like this? I felt distressed watching the live broadcast, let alone… Amy, these
scumbags must not be let go! Since they dare to hurt Bria, let’s let them taste the pain too!”
Amelie rubbed her aching brows.
“Right now, I just want to fight for Bria’s custody. Although Bria has been hurt by this incident, it also
makes Melissa willing to give up custody of the child. For the time being, forget it.”

It was not that Amelie didn’t feel sorry for Bria. However, most of the time, one had to sacrifice
something for the benefit of another. Even if this was hard for her to swallow, she could only choose the
solution that was most beneficial to Bria’s future.
Hearing that Melissa had signed an agreement to give up custody, Jamie was not as angry as before.
“Amy, you did the right thing. We can’t have Bria suffer more just because we’re upset. Come back
soon. I’ll make you some delicious food.”
“Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, Amelie felt warm in her heart. Although she lost her marriage, she still had so
many good friends who cared about her and Bria.
When Amelie’s car arrived at the residence, Julia was already waiting downstairs with a scarf around
her. At the same time, Bria had just woken up and her eyes were hazy.
Then, Julia hugged her and kept kissing her. “Bria, you’ve suffered.”
“I’m fine.” Bria shook her head in a sensible way, kissed Julia back, and nced at Amelie. “Mommy
rescued me.”
“Good girl. Let’s go upstairs.” Julia carried Bria and walked toward the gate.
However, Amelie’s eyes were fixed at a certain point. There stood a figure, and the man was tall and
thin with a cold face and dark eyes that were also looking at her. Julia walked for a while and realized
that Amelie didn’t keep up, so she turned around and called her.
Turning around, she also saw that person. When she saw him, her bright face quickly darkened with a
disgusted expression as if she had seen something awful. In the next moment, she rushed out toward
the man, screaming, “Alston, this is Amy’s residence! You are not wee!”
Leo faced Julia’s anger with cold eyes as if the object of her anger was not himself. Subsequently, his
eyes fell on Bria, who shrank back ufortably, unwilling to be in contact with him.
Julia couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore, so she nudged Amelie with the elbow that was
holding Bria. “Let’s go!”
She didn’t want to see Leo for even a second!
“I need to talk to you,” Leo finally said, his eyes locked on Amelie.
“You both are already divorced! There is nothing to talk about!” Julia was very protective of her friend.
Leo just pursed his lips and looked at Amelie with no intention of leaving. The surrounding passerby
seemed to feel the tension here, and many people looked over.
Amelie didn’t want Bria to be the focus of everyone’s attention, so she pushed Julia and said, “Take
Bria home first.”
“But you…”
“I’ll go upstairs after talking to him.” Amelie knew that Julia was worried, so she gave Julia a soothing
look.
Julia had also felt Bria’s rejection of Leo and didn’t insist any longer. When leaving, she did not forget to
say, “If he dares to bully you, call me!”
She appeared ferocious. After speaking, she did not forget to cast a warning look at Leo.
Seeing Julia and Bria leave, Amelie calmly recovered and looked at Leo. “What do you need?”
Leo’s expression had been ugly, and it was even worse when he saw Bria escape from him.
“You forced my mother to sign an agreement to give up Bria’s custody?” he asked directly.
Amelie nodded. After all, Leo would know sooner orter.
“It’s better for you and Elyse.”
“Whether it’s good for me or not is up to me to decide, not you!” Leo replied rudely.
His reply was bad-mannered and his tone was unpleasant, so Amelie simply stopped being civil and
curled the corners of her lips. “Then, let’s talk about whether it is good for Bria. I am her mother, and it
is up to me to decide whether it’s good for her or not!”
“I’ve already allowed you to keep Bria with you, but you still went overboard and even deprived her of
her family. Is it really good for her?” Leo was in a bad mood, and his tone was extremely aggressive at
this moment.
During their marriage, he had never said so much to her at one time. Now that they were divorced, he
spoke so much to her, but every word was like a knife trying to stab her to death! To Leo, Amelie was
simply trying to make trouble out of nothing!
Hearing this, Amelie sneered, “Deprived? Mr. Leo, you’re really scary. You easily turned your family into
victims! Before you utter these words, you should go home and ask your own mother and sister why I
wanted to deprive them! They are not fools, so how could I deprive them anyhow I like!”
“No matter what the reason is, it is impossible for the child to leave the Alston Family!” Leo’s attitude
was very resolute, and he had no intention of figuring out the reason at all. Originally, he only allowed
Amelie to take care of the child temporarily.
It was she who vited his bottom line, so it was only right for him to be cold-blooded and
ruthless!
