My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 6-10

Chapter 6
“It’s your turn,” Amelie urged. Her eyes were sparkling. The smile on her face couldn’t be any wider as she signaled him with her chin to press the button to confirm. Opposite them were the employees watching them. The employees who walked past them also slowed down in anticipation of his response. Leo stared at her. Did she press the button to confirm the divorce because she felt that he would keep his promise to Bria to remain married to her? He slowly lifted his finger, which made Amelie nervous with wide eyes. I knew it. She’s been backed into a corner and is desperate now! She’s trying to force me to make her stay! Amelie never thought about that whatsoever. Her nervousness was a result of her wanting Leo to speed up because she didn’t want to be proclaimed that she was divorced under the public’s eagle eyes. It took Leo more than ten seconds to press the confirmation button! He thought that she would reveal her true colors and ask for the process to be stopped, but she never said a word until the end! His fingers curled in silence at this realization. At this moment, a crisp voice sounded in the air. “Leony.” Elyse, her face as bright as the sun, came over with her assistant. She just happened to watch the staff stamping the seal, after which the lady showed the divorce certificate to both Leo and Amelie. Then, Elyse gaped. “A-Are you really divorced?” Amelie pursed her curved lips in a mocking manner. Leo originally looked greatly annoyed, his movements as slow as a snail. But when Elyse came, he immediately agreed to confirm the divorce, which exemplified his great care for her. Elyse didn’t delve too deep on the matter, after which she held Leo’s arm. “I was in a rush and haven’t had my breakfast yet. I heard there’s this decent coffee shop nearby. Leony, do you mind accompanying me for breakfast?” Amelie was uninterested to see them displaying their affection, so she turned to leave. “Miss Dillon, would you like to join us?” Behind her came Elyse’s question. Looping her arm around Leo’s, she rested her head on his shoulder like a dainty lover. “Even if you guys are divorced, we can still be friends.” Amelie was well aware that Elyse was flaunting her victory, but she was not in the mood to humor her. She replied lightly, “Nah, I’m not in the habit of being divorced and remaining friends with my ex.” “Or you could leave your number?” the assistant behind Elyse suggested. “Elyse has an established network, so she knows a lot of people. If there’s a suitable

opportunity in the future, we will definitely recommend it to you. We won’t let your life be affected by the divorce.” “Hey, watch what you’re saying!” Elyse whispered softly, revealing zero pretentiousness. What a well-acted play… Amelie looked at Elyse and couldn’t help grinning. Know your place, Elyse Clayton. I alone can support hundreds by myself. Who are you to show concern for my quality of life? “Miss Clayton, you don’t have to worry about Amy’s life.” Before Amelie could say anything, a male voice interrupted. Immediately after, she felt something of decent heft landing on her shoulder. Someone grabbed her shoulder. “My monthly sales profit is more than enough to buy Bespoke Media ten times over and splurge on Amy. Even after that, there would be some balance.” Bespoke Media was Elyse’s current employer. Those words had done its part to sarcastically humiliate Elyse for overestimating her abilities. “M-Mr. White?” When she saw the man in front of her, her expression changed rapidly as her eyes widened in disbelief. “It’s you?” On the side was Leo, whose expression darkened as his gaze fell on the hand on Amelie’s shoulder. He finally understood that Amelie really wanted the divorce. And her reason was because of this man! There was no way she could get a man in such a short period of time, so she must have cheated during the marriage! Leo felt Amelie’s betrayal deeply and was even angrier than when he was forced to marry her! Elyse obviously felt his anger and her heart couldn’t help but race. “Let’s go.” Jamie refused to look at the others as he spoke to Amelie. She nodded. “Sure.” The two of them ignored everyone else as they left the building. Behind them were shocked employees who had witnessed the entire event. “Isn’t that the online live-selling streamer, Jamie White?” “He hit the jackpot last year, so Starlight Media had made a lot of money and turned him into a star.” “Now, everybody knows who he is. Everybody must have at least purchased one of his items, so his monthly sales are in the trillions!” “Not only that, but his father is the number two entrepreneur in our city. He’s a through and through nouveau riche!” Such a man was on par with Leo, if not comparable. Amelie had married into a rich family in the beginning, but she was now joining another rich family? Elyse balled her fists in silence. This woman ruined my marriage four years ago, but hasn’t even learned her lesson four years later. Instead, she’s caught the eye of such a perfect man like Jamie White? … “Julia asked you to come, right?” Once they had arrived at a quiet spot with no people, Amelie pushed Jamie aside and asked. Jamie’s face resembled a smiling puppy, which made him look adorable. “It has nothing to

do with her. I came on my own. What I said earlier was not a joke, though. We can get married now if you want!” “Oh, man. I don’t want your dad to come after me. There’s a beautiful life ahead of us, so I want to have a few more decades of peace.” Amelie looked very reluctant. They had been acquainted for years, so there was nothing they couldn’t talk about. Jamie chuckled and the two cracked innocuous jokes for a while before heading off on their separate ways. Amelie headed off to Starlight Media to search for Julia. “Jamie made a scene today, so keep your eyes and ears open. Something’s bound to happen.” Julia placed the tablet on the table. “It’s too late. Something has indeed happened.” When Amelie took the device and lowered her head to look, she sighed in annoyance at the content. Which busybody posted photos of my divorce from Leo as well as my friendship with Jamie on the internet so quickly? At least the other party had a conscience because her face was blurred out. Despite that, the photos were causing the incident to spread like wildfire on the internet. In less than 20 minutes, there were more than 300,000 people who had seen the post. Amelie only felt an impending headache. “Jamie White! Are you happy now that I’m in trouble?” Julia’s carefree action of placing her hand on Amelie’s shoulder came before she explained, “You should be well aware of Starlight Media’s PR capabilities. Don’t worry, I guarantee that everything will be alright.” “It’s just that you are divorced, so you can’t be in hiding forever.” Julia quickly shifted the topic to Amelie and continued, “How about we revive our old business? Everyone’s been missing you loads.” Amelie’s eyes lit up when she heard Julia’s suggestion. “Sure, but I want to bring Bria along.”

Chapter 7
Twenty minutes later, Amelie showed up at Starlight Media with Bria. “I kept all your costumes. Here!” Julia exclaimed as she handed Amelie a snowy white fox mask. Her eyes were shining with excitement. “Everyone would be ecstatic if they knew Foxy has returned.” Amelie silently took the mask and wore it. “The mask looks so interesting. Mommy, I want to wear a mask too,” shouted Bria excitedly after she saw Amelie wear the mask. Like performing a magic trick, Julia swiftly handed Bria a little pink fox mask. “Here you go, Bria. I’ve prepared one for you too.” At once, Bria’s big eyes beamed with fascination as she held the mask cautiously. Then, she quickly wore the mask with Julia’s help. After that, she happily ran to Amelie’s side, tugged at her sleeve, and asked, “Mommy, are we cosplaying?” She flicked Bria’s little head and answered, “We’ll be doing a live stream.” While they were talking, Julia had turned on the live stream for her. Only a few people were watching. Even so, Amelie was incredibly excited. Even after four years of not doing live streaming, it was like there was a magical drive guiding her as she greeted the audience naturally, “Hello everyone, it’s your good friend, Foxy. You guys must be wondering why I’ve disappeared for four years, right? Well, I’ll tell you guys all about it.” She briefly talked about her marriage and childbirth before introducing Bria to everyone in the live stream room. The initially empty live stream room instantly became lively a few minutes after the introduction. ‘Damn! I’m not seeing it wrongly, am I? Foxy is back?’ ‘Could it be someone disguising as her and deceiving us?’ ‘It’s possible. After all, Foxy is a certified and famous live streamer with millions of fans. How would the industry be willing to give up such a profitable asset?’ ‘It’s no fun if it’s not Foxy. So, let’s leave, guys.’ As Amelie silently read through the dazzling array of comments everyone posted, she smiled slightly before singing a song. Then, she performed a little magic trick. She even cracked a joke while she performed the trick. At once, the comment section was in an uproar. ‘It’s Foxy! It’s her! I’ve watched each and every of her past live streams! I would recognize her live-streaming style, regardless of what she’d become!’ ‘Yes! I recognized it too. Foxy really has returned!’ ‘Foxy! Foxy! I love you!’ The atmosphere in the live stream room immediately became boisterous. The comment section constantly buzzed with various words of enthusiasm. Not only that, some even frantically sent gifts to Amelie.

Truthfully, Amelie started doing live streams as early as her college days. She was undoubtedly an Internet celebrity, and her popularity was no less than that of an online star with a huge fan base. Unfortunately, because the Alstons refused to accept an Internet celebrity as their daughter-in-law, Amelie stopped doing live streams after she married into the family. Back then, as she loved Leo wholeheartedly, she felt that such a sacrifice was worth it for the sake of love. Nevertheless, now that she looked back at her actions, she realized how foolish she was. Therefore, she reached out, turned off the gift-giving function, and said, “It’s our first gathering after four years. Thank you all for still remembering me. I’m here today to reconnect with you guys, so I won’t be accepting gifts.” Amelie, who resumed her live-streaming activity, suddenly regained her spirit. There would be times when she would alternate between the persona of being mischievous, innocent, cute, and aloof. Regardless of the requests, she could pull off all kinds of styles, repeatedly showing her unique talent. Bria, who was beside her, was a little shy at first. Yet, after she saw how relaxed and happy Amelie was, she, too, joined in. She sang, danced, and performed magic tricks with Amelie. The two of them had a great time. Leo, on the other hand, was in a terrible mood. I guess I’m a celebrity now, thanks to the drama that unfolded this morning. Right now, the whole city knows that I’m divorced! One whole morning, he’d received several calls from friends around him, but their first reaction wasn’t to congratulate him. Instead, they asked, “Did you two really divorce? It’s a little pity, don’t you think?” Is it really, though? What’s so unfortunate about divorcing a woman as scheming as Amelie? Regardless, that wasn’t what annoyed Leo the most. Instead, what frustrated him even more, was the fact that Jamie’s act of protecting Amelie had made the headlines. Someone even asked Jamie about his relationship with Amelie on the same day he did his live stream. In his live stream, Jamie explained that Amelie was the girl he’d admired for a long time. Regrettably, he didn’t have the courage to confess to her due to the big gap between their popularity back then. Now that she was divorced, he hoped he could accompany her well. And as for the future, he told his fans that he would do his best to win her over. Tch! The woman I despised is the woman Jamie loves most and has been very proud of for many years. Isn’t that just an obvious criticism mocking me for being blind to Amelie’s good traits?! The more Leo thought about it, and the more angered he became. In fact, he was so enraged that he attended the

grand ceremony without having lunch and gulped down glass after glass of wine. Next to Leo sat Toby. He happened to be reading articles related to Jamie as he swiped through the tablet screen in front of him. “I never knew your wife was so popular!” There was a gloating smile on his face when he said those words. Leo saw Toby’s gloating smile and felt that it was a piercing sight. His mood increasingly worsened, and he corrected Toby with a cold demeanor. “Ex-wife!” “Fine. Fine. Ex-wife. But it’s quite unfortunate, come to think of it. Although she did plot some scheme against you back then, she still behaved discreetly and didn’t throw any tantrums all these years. Besides, what she did back then was beneficial to you, too… Forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything.” Chatting endlessly at first, Toby hurriedly kept his mouth, for he knew he’d touched Leo’s raw nerve after seeing Leo looking like he was about to skin him alive. Leo massaged his temples and allowed his thoughts to linger on the affairs of their divorce. Amelie Dillion, that good-for-nothing woman, where did she have the confidence to divorce me? What right does she have to file for divorce? “What’s so unfortunate about divorcing a woman like her?!” Ashton, who was on the other side, pouted unhappily. He added disdainfully, “But I must say: since she left without taking any property after the divorce and didn’t even bother to come up with any explanations regarding the child’s custody, she clearly wanted to be passive-aggressive. She definitely has something up her sleeves. I can assure you that she’ll definitely return with the child within three days, looking all pitiful and begging you to remarry her. You’ll fall into her trap if you get all soft-hearted and agree.” For some reason, Leo actually felt his mood inexplicably improve when he heard Ashton say that Amelie wasn’t genuine in wanting to divorce him and even had plans to remarry him. Nonetheless, another burst of frustration surged within him moments later. What am I thinking? I should have divorced a woman as sinister and despicable as Amelie long ago! “No way! Foxy has returned?!” Toby suddenly yelled. Then, he shoved his tablet in front of Leo with great excitement. “Leo, it looks like there’s hope for our plan to enter Skaynia’s market after all.” Although Leo was annoyed to death, he would never be sloppy about work. So he glanced at the person inside the screen and ordered, “You shall follow up on this matter first.” “Okay,” Toby responded with a nod. Then, he shoved Leo again the following day and said, “Don’t you think that Foxy looks like your ex-wife?”

Chapter 8
Meanwhile, Ashton, who never joined in the conversation between the two as he was playing cards on his mobile phone, glanced over. “Toby, please. Why do you see every woman as Amelie?” Ashton had made the same remark the last time Toby saw the dancer within the sea of dancers. In fact, Ashton would show apparent signs of distaste every time someone mentioned Amelie’s name. Since Leo was already in a bad mood in the first place, Toby and Ashton weren’t much of a help in making him feel better with them constantly talking about his ex-wife. Eventually. he could no longer bear sitting and listening to the two as he rose to his feet and walked out of the private dining room. Finally, the one- hour-long live stream ended. However, Amelie and Bria were still riding the high of their successful stream. After Bria removed the little fox mask, she blinked her bright eyes and looked at Amelie as she said, “Mommy, it’s my first time seeing you smile so happily. You look so pretty when you smile!” When she heard that, she was momentarily stunned. Yeah. After four years of marriage, I almost forgot how to put on a genuine smile. Still, she pinched Briar’s adorable chubby cheeks as she praised, “You’re amazing too. I never knew you could dance so well.” Just as Bria was fascinated by her, Amelie, too, was astonished by Bria’s performance today. Bria looked down at her words and sheepishly said, “Actually, I have always liked dancing, but I also know Grandma and Aunt Jodie dislike it. I am afraid that it will annoy them, and they will, in turn, scold you, so…” Tears instantly welled up in her eyes when she heard Bria’s answer. So that’s the reason! After getting married, I have been living with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Never once did we move out of the house. I’ve always remembered that Bria would move her body to the music within a few months of her birth, and when she reached 1 or 2 years old, she would dance away and even choreograph her own dance moves. But for some reason, she became less fond of dancing as time went on. Initially, Amelie thought that Bria just didn’t like dancing anymore. Hence, never once did it cross her mind that Bria did it out of fear that Jodie and Melissa would scold her. A sense of guilt surged within her. Once again, she hugged Bria tightly and said, “Don’t worry, Bria. You can dance as much as you want in the future. You no longer have to worry about anything else. Also, there’s one more thing that I have to tell you. We will no longer live at
