My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 206


    Chapter 206


    All of a sudden, Bria swung her arm in Amelie’s direction and hit Amelie on her hand. Amelie was taken


    by surprise, and her phone slipped out of her fingers. “What happened, Bria?” Amelie turned to check


    on Bria first.Bria simply shrugged before scratching the back of her head. The young girl looked like


    she didn’t know how she had bumped into her mother either. “Let me carry her,” Amelie said as she


    nced at Leo. Leo handed the child over without saying much. Then, he bent down to pick Amelie’s


    phone up for her. “Here you go,” he said.Amelie nodded in appreciation before she took the phone from


    him and chucked it into her handbag. Soon enough, the bus arrived at their destination. The teacher


    directed all the children into the nursing home, and the dean of the nursing home delegated some


    cleaning duties to all of the parents and their children.Even though Bria’s leg was injured, she insisted


    on being a part of the activity. Amelie hesitated for a while before she went to the toolshed and


    approached one of the staff members there. “Can you give us some cleaning tools?” she asked.“Sure.”


    The staff member handed Amelie some tools, and her eyes lit up with admiration when she saw Bria.


    “You’re still helping out even though you’re injured, huh? That’s so nice of you,” the staffmented.


    Bria simply responded with a shy smile.“How many sets of tools will you need?” the staff member


    asked.Amelie hesitated for a while. “You can give me two sets,” she finally said.“Three, please.” A


    man’s deep voice came from behind Amelie right after she finished speaking. Amelie was shocked


    when she turned to see Leo standing behind her. She had assumed that Leo was just there to spend


    time with Bria and that he wasn’t going to take part in any cleaning activities. Leo, on the other hand,


    didn’t seem to realize the look of surprise on Amelie’s face. He extended his long arm over her and


    took the tools on her behalf.“Let’s go,” Leo said as he walked toward Bria and headed off with her.


    Amelie was left speechless for a while. She eventually hurried after them. The three of them were sent


    to a t and cooling piece ofnd outdoors, where there was ayer of tree leaves scattered all over


    the ground. “Let’s sweep all of the leaves toward the middle first,” Leo suggested after looking at their


    surroundings.Both Amelie and Bria nodded before they got to work. Bria was wheelchair-bound so she


    couldn’t move around much, but she was still earnest as she swept up all the leaves in her area. She


    giggled to herself as she worked on her task. Meanwhile, Amelie stole a few nces at Leo while they


    worked. She was genuinely curious—she had never seen Leo clean up after himself in her whole life,


    and she was nearly convinced that Leo didn’t even know how to hold a broom.However, to her


    surprise, he was dedicated to his task. He even seemed to work the broom with ease. He had taken his


    suit off and rolled his sleeves up. His posture was upright, and his arms looked strong as he swept the


    leaves—he looked like he had walked out of an oil painting. “Mommy’s checking Daddy out. Hehe…”


    Bria giggled with her hand covering her mouth.Amelie blushed before she quickly lowered her head to


    focus on sweeping the leaves. A married couple with their twin boys were cleaning up the area beside


    them, and the two boys were extremely naughty. They were fooling around, and their parents had to


    shout at them every now and then. The twins’ parents shook their heads helplessly as they sent


    envious nces in Bria’s direction. They wished their children would be as focused as Bria.Right then,


    the twin boys ran in Bria’s direction with two shovels that they had found somewhere. They both stuck


    the shovels into a thick pile of leaves before they sent the leaves and a few rocks flying into the air.


    Amelie saw the rocks flying in Bria’s direction, and she instinctively threw herself over Bria. Amelie


    could hear the rocks knocking against one another as they flew up into the sky, and she could already


    imagine how much it was going to hurt when theynded on her back.Thud! Thud! A few consecutive


    sounds came from behind Amelie. She let out a soft grunt, but to her surprise, she didn’t actually feel


    any pain from the rocks hitting her back. All she felt was a looming figure above her. Amelie turned a


    little to notice the man’s long legs behind hers. When she spun around, she realized that Leo had


    protected her with his own body. The thuds didn’te from the rocks striking her back, but when the


    rocks struck Leo!Amelie froze when she realized what just happened. This is the second time Leo has


    saved me today. Doesn’t he hate me? Why does he… Does he remember who I am now? Amelie


    parted her lips to question him when the twin boys’ parents rushed over. “Are you guys okay?” The


    parents wore apologetic and remorseful looks on their faces, and they kept apologizing to Amelie.


    Amelie dusted off some dirt on her shirt before she nced in Leo’s direction. He had already walked


    off with his head hung low as if he were contemting something. He showed no intention of


    responding to the twins’ parents. “We’re okay.” Amelie had no choice but to answer on Leo’s behalf.


    Despite so, the parents insisted on dragging their sons over to apologize to the victims of their


    mischief.The children were scheduled to give a few performances to the old folks after they were done


    cleaning the ce up. The elderlies chuckled with excitement as they shuffled over to watch the


    performances. Bria handed the flowers that she had prepared to the elderlies while Amelie followed


    along to wheel Bria around. Amelie wore a faint smile on her face as she moved through the


    crowd.Every now and then, Amelie would look up to nce in Leo’s direction, and she would realize


    that Leo was staring at them as well. For some reason, she could sense that Leo was acting in a rather


    odd manner. He was being especially silent. Could it be because he’s too bored?After all the activities,


    the dean requested that every family nt a tree up in the hills tomemorate their visit. The


    pathway up the hills was rather rocky, and Bria’s wheelchair couldn’t be brought up. Bria urged Leo and


    Amelie to go ahead without her. “Take your time! You don’t have to rush back to me.” Bria had already


    made friends with a few of the elderlies in the nursing home, and the elderlies were all circling around


    her.Amelie shook her head with a smile when she saw how naturally and effortlessly Bria had blended


    in with all the old people around her. Leo nced at Bria as well. He realized how different Bria


    seemed inparison to the way she acted back when she was in the Alston Family, and his gaze


    darkened at that thought.Amelie didn’t see any reason to stay close to Leo once Bria was out of their


    sight. She kept her distance, and she stood far, far away while Leo dug a hole for the nt. Leo was


    efficient with his movements, but he stayed in his spot after he was done with his digging. Amelie didn’t


    know how long he was going to stay there, so she simply walked over to him before cing the


    seedling into the hole.She was about to take the shovel from him to cover the hole up, but he dodged


    her hand before he started filling the hole himself. She eyed him speechlessly before she got to her


    feet to head down the hill. “Do you hate me that much?” the man’s icy voice came from behind her all


    of a sudden.Amelie turned around with a puzzled look on her face. She had intended to head down the


    hills because she didn’t want to bother him. “You shouldn’t make it so obvious in front of Bria’s


    ssmates. Her ssmates might look down on her if they find out that we’re divorced. They were just


    discriminating against her earlier this morning,” Leo uttered.Amelie had no idea what had happened


    earlier that day, so she widened her eyes in surprise. She had intended to ask him more about theN?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    incident, but he had pressed his lips tightly together and looked away. Amelie shook her head


    helplessly before she made her way back to the man and took a seat at the curb. She watched as he


    slowly filled the hole up. He seemed to move slower than before, and the hole was barely filled even


    after a long while. He kept pressing the soil down to make it morepact, but this seemed like a


    pointless move in Amelie’s eyes.“Are you… staying in Quinn Town?” Leo asked all of a sudden.Amelie


    was taken aback by his sudden question, and her head shot up in surprise as she red at him. She


    didn’t understand why he was asking such a question, so she didn’t know how to respond to him. After


    a while, Leo looked up and met her gaze. There was a mysterious look in his eyes that she couldn’t


    seem to understand.Earlier, Leo had noticed a faint scent on Amelie when he was protecting her and


    Bria from the rocks. Even though the scent wasn’t strong, it caught Leo’s attention as it was a familiar


    smell to him. He was reminded of how Big Eyes smelled. Even though Amelie’s scent was covered by


    the smell of milk, Leo’s other senses had be heightened after he lost his eyesight. He could still


    pick up the special scent on her.Leo couldn’t believe it at first, but he was reminded of what Bria once


    mentioned—that Amelie was from Quinn Town. “What is it? Is it a secret?” Leo further questioned


    Amelie when he saw how silent she was. Amelie let out a bitterugh. I’m the only one who cares for


    him, and I’m the only one who genuinely values him. I even donated my cornea to him. Yet, he doesn’t


    even know where I’m from.“Yeah. I’m from Quinn Town.” Amelie nodded as she generously revealed


    the truth. “In fact, we’ve known each other for a while.”“We have?” Leo’s eyes widened as he stared at


    her. For some reason, Amelie felt a weight on her chest. She hadn’t intended to further pursue this


    matter, but at that moment, she desperately felt the need for an answer. She looked into Leo’s eyes.


    “Have you really forgotten about it? Back in the hospital in Quinn Town…”“Leony.” A crisp and clear


    voice interrupted their conversation.
