My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 162

When Leo walked up the stairs, he didn’t immediately rest but only stared at the wall. He put his hands in his pocket and slightly bent down. He furrowed his eyebrows, seemingly to be in thought.

Toby’s words flashed in his mind, asking him if he had fallen in love with Amelie.

As he thought about what happened after he and Amelie had gotten a divorce, he realized that there was no reason for him to be in love with her other than being surprised. However, he realized that she had a special place in his heart for god knew how long. Sometimes, he would even instinctively pay close attention to her and even want to get to know her.

Is this love? But it is impossible to love someone without reason! I would have trusted this if it had happened to someone else. I also know that I am a person with a goal to achieve. After Elyse dumped me, I would never get close to someone else or get to know them without a valid reason. Yet, Amelie is the exception to this rule! Still, I can’t believe I will fall in love with her. I think it is because she is Bria’s mother, and I feel sorry for Bria.

As Leo thought about it, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Then, he dialed a number and said, “Keep an eye close on Mrs. Alston these days.”

“Mrs. Alston?” The person was startled since he had never expected Leo to have such an order.

“Yes.” Leo didn’t explain anything and hung up the phone.

He felt something was going on since Jodie had asked to meet up for lunch. After all, she was afraid of him and had always avoided him. There was definitely something going on behind the scenes since they had encountered Toby and Amelie on their way to lunch.

The next day, Leo went to Star Kindergarten. When he arrived, the teacher recognized him and approached him. “Are you Bria’s father? You’re just in time. Bria has been unhappy these two days due to unknown reasons. She wouldn’t tell me even if I asked her. Why don’t you talk to her about it?”

The teacher had been in a conflict with Amelie prior to this. So, she was afraid that Amelie would want an explanation now that Bria was unhappy. Initially, she was going to tell this matter to Amelie. Unfortunately. she had not seen her for the past two days. Hence, when she saw Leo, she felt he was a lifesaver.

When Leo heard that Bria was unhappy, he was startled. Then, he immediately stepped into the school and entered the classroom under the teacher’s lead.

In the classroom, the kids were playing a game. Everyone was excited except for Bria. She seemed to be uninterested in even joining.
