My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 210


    Chapter 210Amelie and Toby went to the hospital.Under the cold, harsh light of the hospital, Amelie


    stood quietly and watched as the doctor tended to Toby’s wounds.She saw Toby’s jaw twitching in pain


    multiple times. Even so, he didn’t make a sound.A little whileter, they both walked out of the hospital.


    Amelie turned to look at Toby, who was covered in bandages all over. “Why did you get into a


    fight?”Toby averted his eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly. “It’s no big deal. It was just a personal


    disagreement.”The more he tried to make light of it, the more Amelie became suspicious. She knew


    Toby as someone with a gentle personality who wouldn’t get into fights with anyone. Furthermore, Leo


    was his friend and business partner. There’s no reason why they’d get into a fight out of the


    blue.However, as Toby wasn’t inclined to exin any further, Amelie didn’t continue pressing him. At


    the end of the day, their rtionship wasn’t deep enough for either one to pry into the other’s private


    matters.“Why don’t I drop you off?” Amelie asked as she walked over to the car. Toby agreed, but he


    jumped into the driver’s seat. “I’ll drive.”After all themotion tonight, Amelie wasn’t in the mood to


    stand on ceremony with him, so she only hesitated briefly before getting into the front passenger seat.


    A yawn escaped Amelie, and she began to feel a little drowsy.All of a sudden, Toby leaned


    over.Amelie’s gaze cleared a little. She saw him looming in front of her as his arms rested beside


    her.Their breaths shed.She nervously shrank back into her seat and was about to speak when she


    heard a click.“You forgot to wear your seatbelt,” she heard his gentle voice saying.“Oh,” Amelie said a


    little btedly.Toby didn’t move away at once but looked down at her. “What did you think I was going


    to do?”“Nothing.” Amelie brushed her fingers through her hair as she thought to herself, There’s


    something unusual about Toby today. Usually, he would maintain proper decorum and a polite distance


    between them, but he kept encroaching into her personal space today.Amelie was just about to push


    Toby away when he retreated on his own ord and started driving.Meanwhile, across from where the


    car was parked, two men walked over.The coat of the man in front pped against the wind and


    exposed his long legs.Leo came to an abrupt halt. Eugene, who was right behind him, nearly crashed


    into him and had to rear himself back a little to prevent doing so.Eugene noticed that Leo was staring at


    the parking lot, so he looked over curiously, but all he saw was an empty parking spot. Eugene


    scratched his head. What’s he looking at? There’s nothing there.Leo’s mouth tightened, and he


    clenched his fists. It had only been for a brief moment, but he had seen the position Toby and Amelie


    had been in. Amelie didn’t push Toby away, even though he was so near her. Does she really like him


    that much?Eugene didn’t know what Leo had seen so he had no idea what Leo was thinking about.


    However, he could sense the cold air emanating off of Leo and saw the way Leo’s expression


    hardened. Thus, he dared not say anything and simply stood behind Leo in silence.Amelie napped for


    a while. When she woke up, she was surprised to find that the car had stopped outside her residence.It


    took an hour to drive from Clouson City to Halport. Moreover, she said she was going to drop Toby off


    at his ce.“You were sleeping so soundly that I couldn’t bring myself to disturb you,” Toby said


    warmly.Amelie looked up and saw Toby looking at her with a soft gaze in his eyes. He had a smile on


    his face that made his features look even more gentle.They were already at Amelie’s doorstep, so


    there was no point for her toment on it. “Oh,” she acknowledged. “How are you going to head


    home?”Toby shrugged nonmittedly.“Why don’t you drive my car back?” He did drive me home. I


    can’t possibly ask him to get a cab.Toby looked like a mess. It was as if he had been robbed earlier, so


    few drivers would be willing to stop for him.Since Toby didn’t object, Amelie handed him the keys and


    got out of the car.“Elie.” She had only taken a few steps when she heard Toby’s voice. “I like you. Will


    you give me a chance to date you?”It was such a shock to Amelie that she turned to him with a frozen


    expression.He had gotten out of the car and was leaning against the car with a soft, affectionate look in


    his eyes as he stared at her.It wasn’t as if Amelie hadn’t picked up on the fact that Toby harbored


    feelings for her. However, she didn’t expect him to say it aloud. The two of us? Together? That’s


    impossible! “You don’t need to give me an answer now,” Toby cut in when he noticed that Amelie was


    about to respond. He then walked over to her and gazed at her lovely face. “I’m serious about this. I


    hope you will give it some serious thought too.” Then, he sped her on the shoulder briefly before


    walking back to the car.Amelie stood in front of the car for quite some time. In the end, she turned and


    left without didn’t say anything.Even after she walked off, Toby didn’t drive off. He sat inside the car,


    closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.He took in the air that smelled of her. The more he breathed


    in, the more he wanted to hold her close and protect her for the rest of their lives.As his fingers moved


    gently across the steering wheel, it looked as if he wasforting the woman he loved.Toby wanted to


    heal all the wounds Amelie had gotten from Leo. I’ll do it as her man.——Leo returned to Alston


    Residence.Melissa was sitting on the leather couch in her nightgown and watching television. She


    jumped to her feet when she saw him. “Leo! You’re back atst.”The joyous smile on her face made it


    clear she was in a good mood. She had been waiting for Leo.“Quite a few socialites reached out to the


    family and passed their information to us. Come and take a look.” Melissa held out a folder filled to the


    brim with paper.It was evident that the socialites had gone to great lengths to prepare these things.No


    one was happier about the end of Leo and Elyse’s rtionship than Melissa.She thought that Leo’s


    method of cutting the ties would affect the Alstons’ reputation, but she ended up with an unexpected


    windfall instead.“I’ve looked through the information. These socialites are all highly educated—they


    graduated from Ivy League schools, you know. They carry themselves with poise and conduct


    themselves with courtesy and sophistication, and every one of them can make an excellent wife for


    you.”Every single one of these socialites was far better than Elyse and Amelie. That was what Melissa


    was most pleased about. Because of this, she even skipped her beauty sleep to stay up and wait for


    Leo.Naturally, her pride had been stoked as this proved how much of a catch her son was. Otherwise,


    there wouldn’t have been these many socialites who came knocking on their door within a few hours


    after Leo’s announcement.Leo nced at the folder, but he didn’t take it. He rubbed his temples and


    said, “I’m not thinking about getting married again right now.”“Even if you’re not thinking about


    marriage, it doesn’t matter. You can start looking for someone suitable and date her first.” Melissa


    wasn’t deterred. She flipped the folder open and picked out a socialite. “This is the one I like. Her


    family’s from Seafare. They’re a prestigious family with great connections in both the public and private


    sectors. You’ve been thinking about expanding into Seafare, right? She’s the ideal candidate.”Melissa’s


    words only made Leo’s frown deepen. His tone became a little colder as hemented, “You’re not


    asking me to choose a wife. You’re asking me to choose a business partner.”“Whom you marry will be


    your business partner too, of course. That’s the case for everyone,” Melissa replied matter-of-factly. “If


    you don’t go after her, then someone else will because she’s the cream of the crop. The strong should


    form alliances with the strong. That’s what your father and your grandfather did too.”“That’s them. I’m


    me,” Leo dered before heading upstairs.Melissa was dumbfounded and could only watch as her son


    walked off in a huff. She sighed in frustration. He finally divorced Amelie and ended his rtionship


    with Elyse. I thought he’d finally marry a woman that’s his equal—someone who can help thepany


    and bolster the family reputation. In the end… No! This won’t do! I must think of something!Just then,


    Miss Potts came over and said, “I think I saw a wound on Mr. Leo’s face, Mrs. Alston.” She had tried


    her best to hold herself back, but she couldn’t resist mentioning it anyway. She knew that all Melissa


    could think of was how to boost Leo’s standing in society to bolster her own reputation, but she cared


    little, if at all, about Leo himself.Melissa felt clueless when she heard that Leo was wounded. She had


    been too caught up in her attempt to persuade Leo and in too much of a rush to get him to check the


    socialites’ profiles that she didn’t notice if he was injured.Is he injured? Melissa’s reaction to this wasn’t


    to check on Leo but to open the folder and make a call.After listening to the conversation Melissa was


    having, Miss Potts had no choice but to shake her head and leave feeling rather helpless.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
