My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 65

Chris dug his ear nonchalantly and tilted his head. “Dash might show up. I’ve asked Julia to call her. It’d be awesome if she could make it.”

Boreas and Dash were famous names known only to the fans of racing. They were the top racers around. Chris was Boreas, while Dash’s real identity was still a mystery.

Elyse didn’t care about Dash that much. With or without her, Elyse knew she could still take second place at least. She did practice her skills all these years. Of course, Chris would take first place since he had the advantage Guys were generally better than girls in this area. I bet Leo will think better of me if he sees me getting second place. She wanted to show herself off to him. “Leo, can we go? Pretty please.” She swung his arm again.

Leo pursed his lips and looked at her. “Are you sure your eyes can take it?”

“Oh…” Shoot. I just got my eyes checked, and the doctor practically told him I was blind in one eye. She felt rivulets of sweat drenching her back, and her legs almost buckled for a moment. However, fortunately, her mental fortitude held firm, and she recomposed herself. “It’s alright. I’m used to it.”

“Very well, then.” He nodded. He was reluctant to join, but Elyse had done so much for him, so he figured it was only right of him to spoil her for a bit.

Elyse was filled with delight when he relented to her nearly unreasonable request. He showered her with love right in front of Chris, and that stroked her ego. She stood on tiptoe and tried to kiss his cheek. “Thank you, Leo.”

Almost instinctively, Leo stepped aside, though it wasn’t an obvious dodge. There was barely an inch between them. Most people would have missed that gap and thought they had kissed.

However, Elyse was well aware of whether her kiss had landed on his cheek or not. She froze up awkwardly, though she quickly hid her disappointment and put on a coy smile.

Standing by the side, Chris had also seen what had truly transpired. He pursed his lips as he pressed his thumb against the corner of his lips thoughtfully before saying, “Miss Clayton, if one has to request to get the one whom they love to participate in an event, doesn’t that speak something about their significance to the other person? And if the other person were to refuse, then all the more embarrassing it would be for them, don’t you think?”

He was trying to say something-Leo would have agreed to her request from the get-go if he did like Elyse from the bottom of his heart. She wouldn’t even need to implore it, and he would have proposed that they go together, especially when the event was a dangerous one. When she tried to kiss him, he dodged her attempt. On the surface, it looked like Leo was embarrassed about the public display of affection, but Chris knew that wasn’t the case. In truth, Leo hadn’t truly accepted Elyse. Chris was a guy, too. He knew what Leo was thinking.

Elyse was smart enough to catch on to the implied message. Her face turned red with embarrassment, and tears glistened in her eyes. She then looked to Leo for help.

Leo furrowed his brows slightly as he pulled her into his embrace apologetically. Then, he shot Chris a look. “Quit spouting nonsense.”

His coming to her defense offered her small comfort, though she’d take any comfort Leo offered.

Chris refrained from making further comments. He told Elyse the time and venue of the event before leaving in his car

At the same time, Julia and Amelie had gotten into their car. Julia pleaded, “Please, just go. It’s not like every day we get to race, and there’s nothing to do at the company. We have all the free time in the world.”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Calmly, Amelie said, “Bria is still waiting for me. And my dad, too. He must be worried sick about me.”

“Nope. I have called your dad, and he told me to take you around town. I’m sure he wouldn’t even mind if you

hadn’t gone home for a week.” Julia controlled the steering wheel with one hand while wagging her phone smugly with the other. “As for Bria, she told me to film a video of your racing.”

Amelie remained silent after hearing that. Well, I guess I don’t have a choice since Dad and Bria have given her the green light.

“Hey, it’s not like we’re gunning for the champion spot. Just going to have some fun. Besides, I’m the top co- driver in the industry. It’s been four years since I saw some action. It wouldn’t hurt to entertain me just this once, right?” Julia and Amelie used to be partners, and both of them had conquered a lot of competitions.

Amelie couldn’t say no when her friend was putting on the puppy pout, so she nodded.

Julia pounced on her friend and showered her with kisses once she saw her finally agreeing to it.

Amelie went pale with shock. “Keep your eyes on the road!”

up for Night came, and Elyse arrived at the competition venue, wearing an all-white racer suit. She put her hair the occasion, and her skin gleamed like pearls under the light. With a stunning man like Leo by her side, she commanded everyone’s attention immediately.

“So, they are together.”

“What a perfect match.”

“I thought Leo never came to such events since it’d hurt his eyes.”

“Probably his girlfriend wanted to come, so he indulged her.”

“Honestly, Elyse is one heck of a woman. She’s a big star and a racer.”

Elyse heard all the praise, and it stroked her ego once more. She put on a polite smile and nodded at everyone. Then, she huddled closer to Leo.

It was a show to everyone in the arena. Only rich kids could afford to race, and they would tell their friends and family that Elyse had gotten back with Leo. Soon, the whole upper society would know of the news.

Chris stayed far, far away from her. He leaned on his car languidly. Everyone thought Elyse was being all elegant and noble, but he thought she was just putting on an act. Unlike his cousin, Chris was a playboy who had seen many kinds of women. One look at a lady, and he’d know what kind of woman they were. Elyse might act generous and kind, but she’s actually a fake and petty gold digger. And that’s the most disgusting kind of woman. However, he wouldn’t comment on his cousin’s relationship. It’s not my problem, anyway.

After a round of praise from the crowd, Elyse held Leo’s arm and approached Chris. She knew Chris didn’t like her, but she could use Leo to shut his mouth. Leo was the leader of the Alstons and the boss of Genesis. This will undoubtedly put Chris in his place and make him stop mocking me.

When she was only a few yards away from him and about to knock him down a peg or two, he held his phone. and ran into the distance. She could feel the wind brushing against her skin when he darted past her. And he didn’t even throw as much as a glance at me! She was fuming in silence.

Everyone noticed Chris running into the distance, and they followed him.

Okay, what’s going on? Elyse brushed his dismissive attitude aside and stopped one of the guests. “Hey… Did something happen?”

“It’s Dash!” the guest answered.
