My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 216


    Chapter 216


    Leo massaged his forehead, upset. “You sought her out?” he interrogated.Melissa caught his tone, and


    she was furious. She almost wanted to stuff more Heparin into her mouth.But before she could say


    anything, Leo warned, “I told you to never seek her out.”Melissa gripped her bag tightly and held down


    her frustration. Then she tried to advise her son. “You think I wanted to do that? I was just worried


    about you. You’re not getting any younger. You should start thinking about settling down. Leo, listen to


    me. Just get along with Carol, will you?”“That’s the conclusion you came to? After you saw Amelie?” A


    small smile tugged at Leo’s lips. I knew it. My own mother can never do anything good for me.“What do


    you mean? Carol is a lot better than Amelie. A lot better educated too. She’s the best choice for you.”


    All Amelie has is her looks.Leo kept quiet again. He was a man of few words, especially to his mother.


    But he wasn’t like that. He used to trust and respect his mother. No matter what she asked of him, he


    would do his best.Yet at some point, all of that changed, and both of them knew when that happened. It


    happened ever since his mother abandoned the blind young Leo in Quinn Town and never came to see


    him. Ever since she pretended to be a loving mother to his adopted brother.Leo’s silence was


    unnerving Melissa, yet she didn’t want to stop just like that, so she forced a few drops of tears. “I know


    you’re angry at me for leaving you in Quinn Town, but I had no choice. Your father had just died, and


    those goblins were trying to steal thepany. I had to spend all my time keeping things in check.


    Couldn’t even sleep, so I… I neglected you.”Despite her attempts at making herself sound like the


    victim, Leo still said nothing. Melissa looked at him, but he was drinking his coffee and going through


    his documents, silent as a gargoyle. It felt like she was talking to a wall. Then she saw the ring he was


    wearing. That’s the ring he bought back when he married Amelie! She looked like she had seen a


    ghost, and her bag fell. “What is the meaning of this?” She left her bag and darted to her son to hold up


    his finger. “You still want to be with that woman?”When she sought Amelie out, Melissa believed Amelie


    was the one hounding her son, but when she saw this ring, her faith was starting to waver.Leo looked


    at the ring. It was a simple, almost perfunctory ring. He was in a foul mood when he was forced to


    marry Amelie. Weddings or ceremonies were not on his mind. And he only bought this ring just to goN?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    through the motions. He didn’t care about the price or style. The retail assistant also asked him to buy


    another one, since this one was too simple. In other words, she said the ring was cheap. But he didn’t


    care. He wanted to use that ring to humiliate Amelie.Yet Amelie wasn’t unhappy. Instead, she grinned


    like an idiot when she saw the ring. Even when the retail assistants were mocking her due to Leo’sck


    of love for her, she didn’t mind. That memory came flooding back, and it pained Leo’s heart. He only


    wore this ring to tell all the women out there that he was married, so they would back off. But when his


    mother asked him those questions, he didn’t want to deny them. All he could think of was Amelie.


    Melissa took his silence as confirmation, and her chest heaved. She wanted to dissuade him but knew


    he wouldn’t listen to him. What to do? What to do? Oh, wait, here’s an idea. “You might still love her,


    but she lost her love to you. When I talked to her, she wanted me to tell you to never disturb her


    again.”Melissa then looked at Leo in silence. Her son had stopped moving, his grip on the coffee cup


    tightening. Good, that worked. Melissa heaved a sigh of relief. “Leo, we’re a famous family here. You


    don’t want the public to say you can’t let go of your ex-wife. Besides, Amelie is a useless bum. She’s


    just ying hard to get so you can get back together with her. So, she can spend our money. We can’t


    fall for that.”Despite how Amelie expressed her disinterest in Leo, Melissa still thought that was just her


    ploy. She pushed her hair back arrogantly. “She refused my six hundred grand, and I’ll make her regret


    it. When shees to me again, I won’t give her a single cent, and I’m taking Bria’s custody.” She was


    still annoyed by how Amelie tossed the checks in her face. “That woman is unreasonable. Useless and


    arrogant. Why, she even tossed empty checks at me in an attempt to insult me. What a joke.”Every


    word Melissa uttered angered Leo even further, and his face fell. When she was done talking, Leo


    harrumphed, as if he was mocking someone.Thinking that he was mocking Amelie, Melissa was


    delighted. Good. That works. The more he despises Amelie, the better.“You tried to buy her out? And


    you think she was just putting up an act?” Leo asked.Melissa nodded matter-of-factly. “Of course.”Leo


    stood up and approached his mother. Then he gave her a document. “Look at this.”Melissa skimmed


    through the document. “Wow. Foxy’s revenue. So, you’re going to start a livestreaming business


    now?”Foxy was a famous influencer. Some of Melissa’s friends were fans of hers, and Melissa had


    watched a few of her streams as well. Foxy was an interesting woman. Unlike most influencers who


    would talk in an overly cute way to attract attention, Foxy built her fame on her own skills. Melissa


    admired her a little as well.Even though she knew Foxy’s fans soared a lot after hereback, the


    sum of her revenue still shocked Melissa. “She makes six figures in one day?”That’s enough for me to


    buy a whole year of makeup products. And that’s just from donations. Not including the products she’s


    selling. This is crazy.And to make things even more shocking, Leo said, “She’s Amelie.”Melissa froze,


    her eyes wide, and her jaw dropped. “What?” A momentter, she snapped out of it. That’s a joke. He’s


    trying to change the topic.“Foxy is Amelie,” added Leo.Amelie thought her jaw would be dislocated.


    Impossible. That listless,zy, useless, timid, worthless Amelie is Foxy? She wanted to know if Leo was


    kidding, but she knew better than anyone that he was always serious. He’s not lying.“She doesn’t need


    anyone’s help to live the best life she can. You tried to buy her out? No wonder she humiliated you.”


    Leo couldn’t even begin to feel any sympathy for his biological mother. Not when her arrogance got the


    better of her.Melissa felt her cheeks burn, and humiliation rained down on her.
