My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 18

It was Elyse. Even after Leo saw Elyse, his mood did not improve. “Why are you here?” “I…” “I’m gonna deal with the wound.” He had no patience at all tonight. Before Elyse finished speaking, he pulled his hand away and strode inside. “Fortunately, you are back. If you don’t come back, I will be driven crazy by Julia.” In a secluded area, Amelie was speechless as she looked at her attire today, which was what Julia forced her to wear. Julia had said she could use this image to evoke the desire to protect of all young men on the scene, and then Amelie could find a man who wanted to protect only her in this life. Samuel naturally knew how rambunctious his woman was behaving behind his back, so there was a helpless smile on the corner of his lips. “Where is she and Bria?” “They’re almost here.” As soon as Amelie’s voice fell, Julia and Bria appeared at the end of the corridor. The sight of Samuel surprised Bria. “Say hello to Mr. Gage,” Amelie said quickly. Bria walked over and grabbed Samuel’s hand. “Hello, Dad.” Amelie was speechless. Samuel probably did not expect to be called ‘Dad’ suddenly, so he was stunned on the spot. Only Julia covered her mouth with a playful smile. “Yes, it’s okay to call him ‘Dad’.” She was now Bria’s godmother, and Samuel was naturally her godfather. “Dad, take me there to play!” Since Julia said that there was nothing wrong with it, Bria believed that she was right as she pointed to the bright light in front of her. Samuel was happy to dote on Bria, so he bent down to pick her up. “Okay, let’s go over there to play.” Amelie did not say anything. Looking at Bria who was successfully led away by Julia, she felt a headache. She was about to chase after Bria when she turned her face and saw Leo beside her. At this moment, Leo’s face was dark, and his eyes were piercing when he stared at Amelie. “Is this how you educate your child? You have her call every man who she sees as her father?” He clearly remembered that Bria also addressed Blake as her father last time. He did not deliberately follow her to watch her and some other man be happy; he was just going to deal with the wound on his hand when he came across this scene by accident. “You misunderstood.” Despite his angry tone, Amelie explained instinctively. “Bria is just—” “If you want to cheapen yourself, you can do so. However, don’t drag your child with you!” Leo rudely interrupted. Amelie came to her senses at this moment. He never believed her, so what was the use of explaining so much? I’ve really

gotten used to the slavery in the Alston Family. A sneer appeared on her face. “Do you know why Bria wants to call every man her father when she sees them? It’s because you never allowed her to call you her father; she longs to have her own father like other children, so she would regard every man who shows kindness to her as her father.” “What nonsense are you talking about? I never disallowed her to call me her father!” Leo looked down on Amelie even more, thinking that she made up such nonsense. Amelie’s smile became desolate. “Have you forgotten? When Bria ran to call you her father, what did you say to her?” Due to a blood infection at birth, Bria’s development was slower than children of the same age in all aspects, and she did not speak until she was almost two years old. When she called out “Daddy” clearly, Amelie was delighted, so she hugged Bria and went to find Leo. However, Bria did not get Leo’s praise when she called out to him. On the contrary, he showed an expression of extreme disgust toward Bria, and told her to “get lost”! Perhaps this memory was too deep because Bria would start trembling whenever she saw Leo, and she would never dare to call him again. The matter had long since passed, but now that Amelie thought about it, she still could not help but feel bad for Bria, making her sad. After Amelie gave this reminder, Leo vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a scene. He was only disgusted by Amelie at the time, and he did not pay attention to what Bria said. “It’s not appropriate for her to call someone else as her father, but Mr. Alston, please reflect on yourself before admonishing others. Since she is not allowed to call you her father, don’t stop her from calling someone else her father!” Restraining her sadness, Amelie spoke sternly. After saying what she wanted to say, she chased in the direction Julia and the others left without a second’s delay. Behind her, Leo’s palm was full of blood, but he could no longer feel the pain. His heart was filled with stones so hard he could not breathe. Julia played with Bria in the bright spotlight area for a while, then she was taken away by Samuel and went back to take the “family punishment”. Although Julia was full of style during her live broadcast and could attract many fans to buy whatever she advertised, as soon as she was in front of Samuel, she became cowardly and obedient like a kitten. Finally, Amelie no longer had to be tricked by Julia. Amelie rubbed her brows and finally heaved a sigh of relief. She was not interested in these so-called Entrepreneur Dinner, and she had no intention of staying after the two left, so she bent over, picked up Bria and went out. Bria had been spending a lot of crazy time with Julia for

a day before coming here. Now, she was rubbing her eyes in a sleepy way, and she finally fell asleep leaning on Amelie’s shoulder after Amelie walked a few steps. Amelie patted Bria’s little head affectionately, then walked toward the parking lot at a faster pace. Before she got there, she saw Leo standing by the side of the road and obviously leaving too. Pretending she did not see him, she turned her face away. However, Leo stopped her and said, “I’ll take you back.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
