My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 2

the owner to prepare some delicious food!” said Julia as she patted Amelie’s shoulder. Then, she turned around and left. While Amelie was walking to the booth they had reserved, she encountered a man and a woman. They were none other than Leo and his sweetheart, Elyse Clayton. In the past, I couldn’t even get a glimpse of him for weeks, but we’re already bumping into each other shortly after our divorce, Amelie thought and sighed. Just as she was about to avoid them, Elyse saw her and took the initiative to greet the woman.  She smiled and said, “Miss Dillion, are you here to see Leo?” Before Amelie could deny it, she continued, “I’m so sorry for what happened. Leo was just helping me to retrieve something at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I didn’t know that you guys would get a divorce because of this.” No wonder Leo arrived earlier today. If not for Elyse’s words, I would have thought that Leo had some feelings for me within the last four years of our marriage. Fortunately, I’ve already made up my mind to forget about him.

She was shocked that Leo would think of her like this when they had already divorced, so she was upset by his words. Knowing that he never believed in her, she didn’t care to explain anymore and simply said, “Whatever goes your way.” Then, she walked past him and entered the booth. Initially, Leo had expected her to explain the situation and was about to leave. Thus, when he heard her response, he came to a halt and turned around to look at her. However, all he could see was her figure. Is… Is she leaving just like that? he thought. After dinner, Julia looked at Amelie mysteriously and said, “Although your appearance is back, it’s not enough. We must also bring back your attitude. I’m going to turn you back into your normal self—a queen.” Amelie was confused by her theory of appearance and attitude. Only realization hit her when Julia brought her to the biggest bar in
