My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 206-210

Chapter 206
All of a sudden, Bria swung her arm in Amelie’s direction and hit Amelie on her hand. Amelie was taken by surprise, and her phone slipped out of her fingers. “What happened, Bria?” Amelie turned to check on Bria first.Bria simply shrugged before scratching the back of her head. The young girl looked like she didn’t know how she had bumped into her mother either. “Let me carry her,” Amelie said as she glanced at Leo. Leo handed the child over without saying much. Then, he bent down to pick Amelie’s phone up for her. “Here you go,” he said.Amelie nodded in appreciation before she took the phone from him and chucked it into her handbag. Soon enough, the bus arrived at their destination. The teacher directed all the children into the nursing home, and the dean of the nursing home delegated some cleaning duties to all of the parents and their children.Even though Bria’s leg was injured, she insisted on being a part of the activity. Amelie hesitated for a while before she went to the toolshed and approached one of the staff members there. “Can you give us some cleaning tools?” she asked.“Sure.” The staff member handed Amelie some tools, and her eyes lit up with admiration when she saw Bria. “You’re still helping out even though you’re injured, huh? That’s so nice of you,” the staff commented. Bria simply responded with a shy smile.“How many sets of tools will you need?” the staff member asked.Amelie hesitated for a while. “You can give me two sets,” she finally said.“Three, please.” A man’s deep voice came from behind Amelie right after she finished speaking. Amelie was shocked when she turned to see Leo standing behind her. She had assumed that Leo was just there to spend time with Bria and that he wasn’t going to take part in any cleaning activities. Leo, on the other hand, didn’t seem to realize the look of surprise on Amelie’s face. He extended his long arm over her and took the tools on her behalf.“Let’s go,” Leo said as he walked toward Bria and headed off with her. Amelie was left speechless for a while. She eventually hurried after them. The three of them were sent to a flat and cooling piece of land outdoors, where there was a layer of tree leaves scattered all over the ground. “Let’s sweep all of the leaves toward the middle first,” Leo suggested after looking at their surroundings.Both Amelie and Bria nodded before they got to work. Bria was wheelchair-bound so she couldn’t move around much, but she was still earnest as she swept up all the leaves in her area. She

giggled to herself as she worked on her task. Meanwhile, Amelie stole a few glances at Leo while they worked. She was genuinely curious—she had never seen Leo clean up after himself in her whole life, and she was nearly convinced that Leo didn’t even know how to hold a broom.However, to her surprise, he was dedicated to his task. He even seemed to work the broom with ease. He had taken his suit off and rolled his sleeves up. His posture was upright, and his arms looked strong as he swept the leaves—he looked like he had walked out of an oil painting. “Mommy’s checking Daddy out. Hehe…” Bria giggled with her hand covering her mouth.Amelie blushed before she quickly lowered her head to focus on sweeping the leaves. A married couple with their twin boys were cleaning up the area beside them, and the two boys were extremely naughty. They were fooling around, and their parents had to shout at them every now and then. The twins’ parents shook their heads helplessly as they sent envious glances in Bria’s direction. They wished their children would be as focused as Bria.Right then, the twin boys ran in Bria’s direction with two shovels that they had found somewhere. They both stuck the shovels into a thick pile of leaves before they sent the leaves and a few rocks flying into the air. Amelie saw the rocks flying in Bria’s direction, and she instinctively threw herself over Bria. Amelie could hear the rocks knocking against one another as they flew up into the sky, and she could already imagine how much it was going to hurt when they landed on her back.Thud! Thud! A few consecutive sounds came from behind Amelie. She let out a soft grunt, but to her surprise, she didn’t actually feel any pain from the rocks hitting her back. All she felt was a looming figure above her. Amelie turned a little to notice the man’s long legs behind hers. When she spun around, she realized that Leo had protected her with his own body. The thuds didn’t come from the rocks striking her back, but when the rocks struck Leo!Amelie froze when she realized what just happened. This is the second time Leo has saved me today. Doesn’t he hate me? Why does he… Does he remember who I am now? Amelie parted her lips to question him when the twin boys’ parents rushed over. “Are you guys okay?” The parents wore apologetic and remorseful looks on their faces, and they kept apologizing to Amelie. Amelie dusted off some dirt on her shirt before she glanced in Leo’s direction. He had already walked off with his head hung low as if he were contemplating something. He showed no intention of responding to the twins’ parents. “We’re okay.” Amelie had no choice but to answer on Leo’s behalf.

Despite so, the parents insisted on dragging their sons over to apologize to the victims of their mischief.The children were scheduled to give a few performances to the old folks after they were done cleaning the place up. The elderlies chuckled with excitement as they shuffled over to watch the performances. Bria handed the flowers that she had prepared to the elderlies while Amelie followed along to wheel Bria around. Amelie wore a faint smile on her face as she moved through the crowd.Every now and then, Amelie would look up to glance in Leo’s direction, and she would realize that Leo was staring at them as well. For some reason, she could sense that Leo was acting in a rather odd manner. He was being especially silent. Could it be because he’s too bored?After all the activities, the dean requested that every family plant a tree up in the hills to commemorate their visit. The pathway up the hills was rather rocky, and Bria’s wheelchair couldn’t be brought up. Bria urged Leo and Amelie to go ahead without her. “Take your time! You don’t have to rush back to me.” Bria had already made friends with a few of the elderlies in the nursing home, and the elderlies were all circling around her.Amelie shook her head with a smile when she saw how naturally and effortlessly Bria had blended in with all the old people around her. Leo glanced at Bria as well. He realized how different Bria seemed in comparison to the way she acted back when she was in the Alston Family, and his gaze darkened at that thought.Amelie didn’t see any reason to stay close to Leo once Bria was out of their sight. She kept her distance, and she stood far, far away while Leo dug a hole for the plant. Leo was efficient with his movements, but he stayed in his spot after he was done with his digging. Amelie didn’t know how long he was going to stay there, so she simply walked over to him before placing the seedling into the hole.She was about to take the shovel from him to cover the hole up, but he dodged her hand before he started filling the hole himself. She eyed him speechlessly before she got to her feet to head down the hill. “Do you hate me that much?” the man’s icy voice came from behind her all of a sudden.Amelie turned around with a puzzled look on her face. She had intended to head down the hills because she didn’t want to bother him. “You shouldn’t make it so obvious in front of Bria’s classmates. Her classmates might look down on her if they find out that we’re divorced. They were just discriminating against her earlier this morning,” Leo uttered.Amelie had no idea what had happened earlier that day, so she widened her eyes in surprise. She had intended to ask him more about the

incident, but he had pressed his lips tightly together and looked away. Amelie shook her head helplessly before she made her way back to the man and took a seat at the curb. She watched as he slowly filled the hole up. He seemed to move slower than before, and the hole was barely filled even after a long while. He kept pressing the soil down to make it more compact, but this seemed like a pointless move in Amelie’s eyes.“Are you… staying in Quinn Town?” Leo asked all of a sudden.Amelie was taken aback by his sudden question, and her head shot up in surprise as she glared at him. She didn’t understand why he was asking such a question, so she didn’t know how to respond to him. After a while, Leo looked up and met her gaze. There was a mysterious look in his eyes that she couldn’t seem to understand.Earlier, Leo had noticed a faint scent on Amelie when he was protecting her and Bria from the rocks. Even though the scent wasn’t strong, it caught Leo’s attention as it was a familiar smell to him. He was reminded of how Big Eyes smelled. Even though Amelie’s scent was covered by the smell of milk, Leo’s other senses had become heightened after he lost his eyesight. He could still pick up the special scent on her.Leo couldn’t believe it at first, but he was reminded of what Bria once mentioned—that Amelie was from Quinn Town. “What is it? Is it a secret?” Leo further questioned Amelie when he saw how silent she was. Amelie let out a bitter laugh. I’m the only one who cares for him, and I’m the only one who genuinely values him. I even donated my cornea to him. Yet, he doesn’t even know where I’m from.“Yeah. I’m from Quinn Town.” Amelie nodded as she generously revealed the truth. “In fact, we’ve known each other for a while.”“We have?” Leo’s eyes widened as he stared at her. For some reason, Amelie felt a weight on her chest. She hadn’t intended to further pursue this matter, but at that moment, she desperately felt the need for an answer. She looked into Leo’s eyes. “Have you really forgotten about it? Back in the hospital in Quinn Town…”“Leony.” A crisp and clear voice interrupted their conversation.

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 planting 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 contemplating 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 to comfort 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 placed it on the ground. Amelie gave him a pleasant smile. “Thanks, Mr. Alston. You can leave the wheelchair here. I’ll pick it up later.”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. The last 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 to come 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 but

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 relationship 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 explain 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 relationship 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 plans 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 blame anyone else for Elyse’s sudden appearance—it was her fault that she didn’t see this coming. 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 similar to Leo’s. However, Amelie then recalled that Leo was dressed in dark blue slacks. 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
