My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 209
Chapter 209
“Eugene Cornelius?” Amelie had to search her mind for several moments before she remembered that
he was Leo’s assistant. “Why?”Eugene hesitated for a moment before answering, “Something’s
happening here, and you’re the only one who can resolve the situation.”“What is it?” Amelie’s curiosity
was piqued.Eugene nced at the two men who were still tussling with each other and had no choice
but to state honestly, “Mr. Alston has gotten into a fight with someone.”“Leo Alston?” Amelie thought
she had to get her ears checked. Leo’s a stoic iceberg. Why would he get into a fight with
someone?“That’s right.” Eugene felt ashamed to make this call for help, but he had to push through it
anyway. He doubted that the two men would stop if Amelie didn’t show up.“I’m sorry, but his matters
have nothing to do with me.” After a moment of stunned silence, Amelie regained her senses and
replied, “We’ve divorced. You should be calling his family.” While Eugene had been away for two years,
there was no reason for him to not be aware of the divorce.“I know.” Eugene’s head was throbbing.
“But you know what Mr. Alston’s like. His family…”Leo wouldn’t listen to Melissa, and Melissa didn’t
have the guts to get involved either.There was no point even considering Jodie.Eugene didn’t know
what he could say to convince Amelie.After a while, he said, “He’s fighting with Mr. Walsh, and it seems
to have started because of you.”“Mr. Walsh? Toby Walsh?” Amelie was startled by what Eugene was
telling her. She had the impression that Toby was a warm and pleasant gentleman. Would he get into a
fight with someone?“That’s right,” Eugene confirmed.Amelie might not have gotten involved if it had
been anyone else, but Toby was different. Previously, he saved her life, and now, he was her father’s
mentee.Amelie knew a thing or two about how strict the Walshes were when it came to their family
upbringing. If this news got back to Toby’s family, he would be in for a hard time.“Fine.” In the end, she
agreed to go. After attending to Brianna, Amelie rushed over to Prix Bar.Eugene looked as if his savior
had arrived. “You’re here atst, Miss Dillon.”Amelie eyed him and asked, “Where are they?” Before
Eugene could answer, there was a loud bang as if something had crashed. Everyone jumped in shock
while Eugene gave Amelie a sheepish nce.Quite a number of bodyguards lined the corridor. This
was to avoid letting anyone else find out that the two men were fighting.Amelie was a little nervous as
she opened the door.The private room waspletely thrashed and almost unrecognizable. The
furniture was wrecked with most things missing a leg or two, but the two men were still going at each
other. Now and then, the sound of someone’s fist pounding against the other’s body was heard. Even
from the sound alone, one could tell just how painful the blow was.Amelie looked at them. She saw the
silhouette in ck pouncing with agility. His attacks were quick and menacing.Although the silhouette in
white was a little less skillful, he was just as persistent.Amelie never knew the two were that good at
fighting, especially Leo. Her memory of him consisted of him being very proper and courteous despite
his stern appearance. Even when he detested her, he neverid a finger on her. She never knew he
could fight this well.Thump! Another muffled sound of a fist making contact. Toby, the one in white, was
punched so hard that he mmed into the wall.Amelie couldn’t stand idly by any longer. “Stop!” she
cried out.The two men froze and turned toward her. Leo’s brows furrowed at once when he saw her.
His eyes flitted straight over to Eugene.Eugene was startled as he shrank back feeling a little
helpless.Toby smiled. Then, as if he was trying to prove something, he smashed his fist into Leo’s face
right in front of Amelie. Leo’s expression hardened as he repaid in kind. Amelie was speechless.While
she was still in shock, Leo backed Toby all the way into the corner. Toby was at s clear disadvantage
and was rapidly bing Leo’s punching bag.Amelie thought about leaving them be, but when she
saw what was happening, she couldn’t ignore it. She rushed over and got between the two men. “Stop
fighting!”Leo’s fist had been flying straight toward Toby, but when he saw Amelie dashing in front of
Toby, he quickly redirected his fist which ended up smashing into the wall behind her with a loud bang.It
had been a heavy punch, and in the process of avoiding Amelie, he couldn’t retract his strength in time,
so his fist smashed into the wall.Meanwhile, Amelie’s heart was pounding in fear as she growled, “Two
respectable and aplished men fighting like that! Have you no shame?”Leo said nothing as he
red at Toby.However, Toby shed Leo a smug, taunting smile.Then, he pulled Amelie into his arms.
“Are you okay?”Amelie nodded. “I’m fine. What about you?”“I’m alright.” He nodded back at her.His
handsome face was swollen and bruised all over. “How can you say you’re alright when you look like
this?” Amelie eyed him in exasperation. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”She started pulling him toward the
door. Toby didn’t object and allowed her to steer him out.Behind them, Leo stood there with his brows
all knotted together. The temperature around him seemed to drop a few degrees.Upon seeing that
Amelie was only concerned with Toby, Eugene came over and stood in her way. “Miss Dillon, Mr.
Alston’s… injured too.”“You can take him to the hospital then.” She noticed Leo’s injuries too, but who
was she to be concerned about him?Amelie sidestepped Eugene and carried on walking, but as soon
as she got to the door, she felt a grip on her shoulder.Amelie turned around and saw a wounded hand
sping onto her tightly. The owner of the wounded hand stood there in silence with a stormy
expression on his bruised face. It was a terrifying expression.Amelie was startled by Leo and couldn’t
help but look at him. There was something else in his dark eyes, apart from his usual indifference. It
looked as if he felt… aggrieved.Amelie felt her heart constricting ever so slightly. She blinked to try and
get a better look, but a figure came over and blocked her sight.Toby stared at Leo with a smile that
didn’t reach his eyes. “Everyone’s talking about the drama between you and Elyse now, Leo. What are
they going to think if Elie’s seen with you?”Toby’s smile faded away as his expression grew stern.
“Everyone will think that Elie’s the third party who caused your breakup. How will she be able to deal
with that kind of reputation? Do you want her to bear the brunt of everyone’s criticisms and
insults?”Leo’s grip weakened as he took in Toby’s words, and in the end, he let go. Toby took this
chance to grab Amelie’s hand and walk out with her.Meanwhile, Eugene felt bad for Leo when he took
this all in from behind.Leo’s fist had changed trajectory because of Amelie. He didn’t want to hurt her
and would rather be the one who got injured instead.Eugene walked over and nced down at Leo’s
bloodied fist. “I’ll take you to the hospital, Mr. Alston.”Leo walked off without responding. Blood trickled
through his fingers and dripped down to the floor, but he didn’t seem to feel the pain. He went out and
climbed into the car.After taking his seat, he closed his eyes. His mind kept reying the scene of
Amelie fearlessly shielding Toby with her own body.He knew that Toby was a far better fighter than he
seemed to be earlier. His disadvantaged position and defeated stance had all been an act. Yet, she
didn’t notice that at all… What does it mean? Leo didn’t want to dwell on this thought, but it felt as if
someone had punched him right in the chest as it was throbbing with pain.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
