My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 133

The signature put-together short hair and classic-looking face came into sight-it was none other than Toby

Walsh.

Leo stiffened, and his eyes turned profound while the surrounding temperature dropped when he saw Toby, who also saw the pair before approaching them with a plain smile. “What? Have you guys been enchanted by the mother and daughter’s performance too?”

“No, we were just passing by.” Elyse fixed her image with breakneck speed and returned to her typical fair maiden look, smiling ambiguously at Toby while hinting, “I guess you weren’t lying about what you said, Mr. Walsh. You do have feelings for Miss Dillon.”

Toby smiled in response, and the smile pierced Leo’s heart, suffocating him as he reminded icily, “Have you forgotten that she’s now the first lady of Starlight Media?”

Nevertheless, Toby remained silent and only shifted his gaze to Leo as his smile deepened.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go,” Elyse interjected and hooked her arm around Leo’s.

To that, Leo said nothing but only turned to his vehicle.

“Do you not regret it, Leo?” Toby’s voice came from behind, causing him to stop in his tracks.

He stood with his head drooped and hands balled into fists on his sides. It was only a loose grip, but it made

him look inexplicably lonely.

Elyse’s heart skipped a beat, and she bit the corner of her lip when she saw him like this. Just as she was about to say something, he began walking ahead.

After dropping Elyse off, Leo returned to the Alston Residence.

However, he stopped at the gates, leaving the vehicle stalling for a long time.

The dim, cold lighting cast on his obscure countenance made him look aloof and lonely.

It wasn’t after a long while that he finally pulled his phone out and made a call. “How much do you know about

Amelie?”

“Not much, just that she only began living like a normal, vivid human being after leaving your house,” Toby said plainly.

His words were practically a slap on Leo’s face.

If it were any other time, Leo would’ve just snorted disdainfully and sniffed about how the life Amelie lived in

Toby remained quiet about the fact that Amelie was Foxy and only said, “Leo, has it ever occurred to you that the Amelie we’re seeing now is her original self?”

“Are you accusing me of breaking her wings and turning her from a glamorous woman into the Alston Family’s anonymous and invisible Mrs. Alston?” Leo caught the underlying message right away.

“I’m just letting you know that she used to love you deeply. Since you never reciprocated her feelings back then, there’s no reason for you to appear in her world now,” Toby reasoned.

Leo had wanted to retort that he didn’t care about entering her world at all. However, his chest suddenly felt inexplicably stuffy, and he had trouble uttering even a single word.

In the end, be just hung up in low spirits. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

After Amelie and Julia exited the car, the latter took Bria from Amelie without a word and quirked her chin. “This one’s mine. Go and park the car.”

Amelie was rendered speechless. Did you just steal my daughter?

At that, she shook her head resignedly and watched the two leave before getting into the car to park it in the

garage.

However, she had just pulled the door open when another hand pushed it, slamming the door shut.

Startled, Amelie looked up to find a countenance seething with rage.

“Miss Clayton?” She quirked her brows, somewhat surprised by the young woman’s appearance. Of course, Elyse’s expression hadn’t gone unnoticed by her either, and she kindly reminded, “Though it’s in the middle of the night, your image will be affected if someone captures your intimidating look.”

However, Elyse’s expression only twisted further. “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?!”

Amelie quirked a brow in response, made baffled by the woman’s inexplicable question.

Elyse, on the other hand, was currently seething with rage, so she clenched the hem of her skitt tightly and snapped when she saw Amelie reacting impassively to all of this. “Do you honestly think pulling Bria out to perform in front of Leo, singing and dancing where we would certainly pass by will get Leo to

look at you?! Huh, stop dreaming! He will never like you! Anything you do will only repulse him and make him hate you

even more!”

Amelie was taken aback. Did Leo see Bria and me dancing and singing? “In that case, why have you come all the way here?” she asked plainly after coming to herself.

Elyse was rendered at a loss for words, and a silent chuckle escaped Amelie as she thought the young woman

She didn’t know Leo would pass by at all! Besides, if she wanted to get back together with him, why would she claim herself to be the first lady of Starlight Media?! It wouldn’t be a bright idea, would it?

Slowly, Elyse came to her senses and also realized it wasn’t wise of her to come here at all. If anything, it would only send Amelie the message that Leo cared about her.

At that, she straightened her clothes and regained her fair maiden look. “Don’t get the wrong idea. Leo only showed up tonight because I begged him to. I’m happy for you that you’re able to meet the CEO of Starlight Media and even gain his trust. Having Leo appear will convince others that you two are on friendly terms, and the road ahead will be easier.”

“Well, thank you very much, Miss Clayton.”

Pigs could fly if Elyse was that nice. However, Amelie didn’t burst the former’s bubble and thanked her instead, causing a pang of inexplicable guilt to rise within Elyse.

Very quickly, she realized her words were tantamount to exposing herself, and humility enveloped her face.

Thus, she simply threw her facade away and spoke her heart out. “Since you’ve gone to Halport, Dillon, then I hope you and your child stay there for good. Think about it. You, wandering around with your daughter in front of Leo all the time… If he wants to take custody of Bria, you’re no match for him. I’m doing this for my future and also serving you a gentle reminder. I suggest you think it through!”

With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Amelie standing rooted to her spot for a long while before she finally wiped the sweat rolling down her forehead.

She had to admit that Elyse was right to remind her of that.

It was her mistake for bringing Bria there and even letting Leo see her.

Indeed, she had to do something to cover up Bria’s brilliance a little.

The following morning, Amelie was making breakfast while pondering how to tell Bria not to live stream anymore when rushed footsteps traveled to her ears, followed by Julia’s dramatic screeching, “I swear to God, these people sure are amusing. Can you believe they’re comparing you to her?!”

Amelie looked up dazedly to find Julia approaching her with her eyes glued to her phone while swiping the screen non-stop.

“Look at this. Your dance from last night had been uploaded onto the internet, and now, it’s blown up. Most of them are saying the way you dance is very similar to Foxy.”

Amelie lowered her head to check the comments section, and sure enough, there were over ten thousand comments mostly revolving around her and Foxy.

Some said her style was identical to Foxy’s, while others said they were two different individuals.

“What did I say? There are still a lot of people who aren’t blind.” Julia smiled affectionately while scrolling down the comments. “They can already tell you’re Foxy just from this clip alone while those

Alston b’stards were completely oblivious to it throughout the four years you lived with them!”

To that, Amelie only smiled plainly. She had long gotten over the issue. That said, she was rather surprised that everyone was butting heads over something so minor.

“Why don’t we take this chance to let the world know who you are?” Julia suddenly suggested, causing Amelie to shake her head. “I don’t want to bring my private and online life too close together.”

“Touché.” Julia nodded in agreement. “Now, the only thing to do is let them fight amongst each o—what the

heck is this?!”

Julia shouted so suddenly that she startled Amelie, who reflexively looked at her while she brought a comment

to Amelie. “Look at how shameless this woman is!”
