My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 207


    Chapter 207


    Amelie turned around to see Elyse sitting in a wheelchair with a smile on her face. Someone was


    pushing her up the hill. Elyse was dressed in a long, white dress that perfectly covered her leg that was


    in a cast. She had natural-looking makeup on her face that made her seem especially


    mesmerizing.Amelie snapped back to reality—as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over her


    —when she saw Elyse. What’s wrong with me? Leo and Elyse are about to start a new family. Wouldn’t


    I cause more problems for Leo if I brought up the past? He might have caused me problems by


    forgetting about me, but what would I gain from causing him problems now?“You guys should enjoy


    yourselves.” Amelie excused herself and headed down the hill without any hesitation. Amelie figured


    that Elyse’s presence would bring her a lot of unnecessary issues, so Amelie decided not to head back


    with the rest of the group. She hailed a cab for herself instead.Amelie wheeled Bria over to the side of


    the road before she used an application on her phone to book a cab. The nursing home was in a rather


    secluded area, so it was hard for her to get a cab there. She requested one but didn’t get an offer for a


    long while. Right then, a seven-seater Cayenne pulled up in front of them.The man inside the car


    lowered his window to reveal his icy face. “Get in,” the familiar-looking man said to Amelie. She let out


    a scoff when she saw who it was. “It’s fine.” She rejected him in a polite tone. Leo knitted his brows


    together upon hearing her words.“There’s no need to be polite with us, Miss Dillon. Let’s head off


    together.” Another person stuck her head out of the car window in the back. It was Elyse, and she was


    wearing a huge and innocent-looking smile on her face. If Amelie hadn’t seen Elyse’s true colors, she


    might have thought that Elyse was genuinely a nice person.“It’s hard to get a cab here, and you might


    have to wait for a long while. You might be fine with waiting, but I’m not sure about Bria,” Elyse uttered.


    Amelie stared at Elyse silently. Bria and I wouldn’t have to be in this tough situation if you hadn’t shown


    up, Amelie thought to herself. There were other families who were heading down the hill after nting


    their trees, and things would get worse if those families passed by and saw Amelie standing around


    with Elyse in the car.Amelie finally nodded before lifting Bria into her arms. “Let’s take Daddy’s car


    home.” Leo’s driver rushed out of the car to help store the wheelchair in the boot. Amelie initially


    wanted to take the driver’s seat so that she wouldn’t have to see the couple in action, but she couldn’t


    do so as Bria was too young to sit in front. Amelie was contemting her next move when Leo got out


    of the car.“You should sit in front, Leony. I hope you don’t mind,” Elyse uttered from inside the car. She


    gave him an apologetic look after that. Amelie eyed both of them speechlessly. This wasn’t the first


    time Amelie witnessed how obedient Leo was to Elyse, but Amelie still felt disgusted every time she


    saw the way they interacted.Amelie tried her best to keep herself invisible throughout the car ride. Bria


    didn’t seem to be in a good mood either—she kept quiet throughout the whole ride, with her hands


    clinging onto her mother’s arms and her head buried in her mother’s chest. Bria pouted the entire time.


    It was obvious that Bria was hurt by Elyse’s sudden appearance.Amelie felt sorry for her daughter, so


    she patted Bria’s back gently tofort her. Bria pulled one of her hands away from Amelie to press it


    against her own belly, creating a barrier between herself and Amelie. This was one of Bria’s signature


    moves—she often did this when she was feeling down or insecure. Amelie felt rather sad for Bria, so


    she lowered her head to press her cheek against Bria’s hair. I tried so hard to make sure that Bria


    wouldn’t be hurt by me and Leo’s divorce, but things still turned out like this.The car was silent


    throughout their one-hour drive back to Amelie’s housing area. Bria was fast asleep by the time they


    arrived, and Amelie tried to carry Bria out of the car without waking her up. “Please help me get the


    wheelchair,” Amelie whispered to the driver. However, before the driver could do so, Leo had already


    opened the boot to retrieve Bria’s wheelchair. Amelie watched as Leo’s bony hands picked the


    wheelchair up before he expanded it and ced it on the ground. Amelie gave him a pleasant smile.


    “Thanks, Mr. Alston. You can leave the wheelchair here. I’ll pick it upter.”Bria was fast asleep on


    Amelie’s shoulder, and Amelie was worried that she would wake the child up if she moved around too


    much. Thest thing Amelie wanted was for her daughter to be hurt again by the sight of Leo leaving


    with another woman. Amelie turned to walk off after thanking Leo. However, right when Amelie arrived


    at her front door and was about to let herself in, she saw the man’s bony hand reaching forward to


    open the door for her.Amelie was shocked as she hadn’t expected Leo toe after her. “Thanks,” she


    uttered politely. Then, she stepped into her house. Amelie had been certain that Leo would leave her


    alone after she entered her house, but to her surprise, he followed her in. Amelie couldn’t help butN?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    freeze for a moment. “We’re home, Mr. Alston. You shouldn’t keep your fiancée waiting. You should


    leave now,” Amelie uttered with Bria still resting on her shoulder.“Elyse…” Leo knitted his brows


    together. “Elyse is your fiancée, and I’m not interested to hear about you two. Thank you for spending


    time with Bria today. I appreciate it,” Amelie uttered in a curt and firm manner. She had no interest in


    hearing about Leo’s loving rtionship with Elyse.Not interested? Amelie’s words stabbed Leo’s heart


    like a dagger. He was silent for a long while before he spoke. “You mentioned that you used to know


    me. What happened between us while we were still in Quinn Town?” he asked.Amelie hadn’t expected


    Leo to ask such a question. However, she was no longer in the mood to exin herself to him at that


    point. “We’ve been married for four years. Doesn’t that count as knowing each other? Anyway, don’t


    you know what happened between us in Quinn Town? What I meant was how we would bump into


    each other at least three times a day back in that town. You suspected that I had some ulterior motive,


    and I felt really misunderstood back then. I only brought it up because I hope that you’d stop assuming


    things about me.”Amelie pressed her lips together for a while before she spoke again. “Perhaps I once


    held hopes toward my rtionship with you, but… I’ve lost all hope since we got a divorce. If you wish


    to see Bria again, you should call me and inform me beforehand, Mr. Alston. I’ll get someone to send


    her to you after I’ve asked for her permission.” In other words, Amelie was implying that she didn’t have


    ns of seeing him in the future.Upon finishing her words, Amelie waved at him before turning around


    and walking off. Leo no longer went after her, and Amelie shut the door behind her before she let out a


    sigh. Amelie knew that she couldn’t me anyone else for Elyse’s sudden appearance—it was her


    fault that she didn’t see thising. I’m never going to ask Leo to participate in another activity like this


    again. Amelie tucked Bria into bed and stayed around in the living room for a while before she realized


    that she had left Bria’s wheelchair outside.When Amelie walked out to get the wheelchair, she realized


    that there was a figure standing beside the wheelchair. “Leo?” Amelie called out instinctively. The


    man’s figure looked rather simr to Leo’s. However, Amelie then recalled that Leo was dressed in dark


    blue cks. The man before her eyes was dressed in a full white outfit and had his hair tied up.The


    visitor was… Toby. “What are you doing here, Mr. Walsh?” Amelie changed her tone of voice as she


    walked up to him. “Are you here to meet my father? He’s not home.” Amelie had just finished her words


    when Toby reached out and pulled her in for a hug. Amelie froze—she was speechless for a while


    before she pushed him away. “What’s going on, Mr. Walsh?”Amelie had always thought of Toby as a


    gentle and ssy man—she had never seen him acting so rashly. The next second, she smelled the


    stench of alcohol on him. “Were you drinking earlier?”Toby took a deep breath before he spoke in a


    raspy voice. “I understand now. I know everything now,” he said.“What… do you know?”
