My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 103 Your Family’s Pride is Worthless

“Hah!” Leo unceremoniously sneered, “Do you think that’s possible?”

“You better not!” she countered right away.

Her eyes were finally clear again as if what he said had relieved her of a heavy burden.

Leo was speechless.

With an indifferent gaze, Amelie looked at him and changed the subject. “Did you say you wanted to take her back home? Are you trying to ruin her life?”

“Don’t be dramatic!” he rebutted coldly. “The Alston family is where she belongs. We will provide her with the best living conditions and education. Letting her come back with me is only for the best!”

“Yes, your family can provide these for her, but when you can’t even meet her basic needs, what’s the point?”

Amelie pulled Bria out a little, but Bria hugged her thigh tightly, not daring to take another step forward.

“Do you see that?” Amelie uttered softly. Looking at the intimidated look on her daughter’s face, she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. “She’s afraid of you!”

“She’ll get used to it.” Leo didn’t put her words to heart. “The reason she’s afraid of me is that we don’t spend enough time together.”

“She stayed with you for three years,” Amelie reminded him. Though she couldn’t see how frightened Bria was, she held her in her arms.

Bria hugged Amelie’s neck tightly and snuggled her head into her mother’s embrace, not even daring to breathe too loudly!

Leo watched how Bria reacted and frowned.

He parted his lips, wanting to criticize Amelie for spoiling and overprotecting the child.

But before he could say that, Amelie beat him to it. “She has just been in her new school for three days, and all the children in class like her. Even the teacher complimented her for being the most lively and optimistic child in class. Have you never thought about why she’s afraid of you and scared of returning to Alston Residence?”

While gently caressing Bria’s back, Amelie looked into Leo’s eyes.

“Your family’s indifference toward her has deeply affected her. If she goes back, she will instinctively feel a sense of fear in her heart. Moreover, your mother and your sister hate her so much. Don’t you think you are forcing her to a dead end by putting her in such an environment? You never fulfilled your responsibilities as a father, so why inflict more pain on her now? Just because she is an Alston and people will humiliate you guys for not letting her grow up in Alston Residence? Leo, your family’s dignity isn’t worth a cent to me! If you want to take her away and destroy her life, I will fight you even if it means losing everything!”

Her voice was strong and determined, and there was ardent killing intent in her orbs.

After the divorce, Leo met her quite often, but he never saw her present hostility.

This was the first time he witnessed how strong a mother could be for their child.
