My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 207

press her cheek against Bria’s hair. I tried so hard to make sure that Bria wouldn’t be hurt by me and Leo’s divorce, but things still turned out like this.The car was silent throughout their one-hour drive back to Amelie’s housing area. Bria was fast asleep by the time they arrived, and Amelie tried to carry Bria out of the car without waking her up. “Please help me get the wheelchair,” Amelie whispered to the driver. However, before the driver could do so, Leo had already opened the boot to retrieve Bria’s wheelchair. Amelie watched as Leo’s bony hands picked the wheelchair up before he expanded it and placed it on the ground. Amelie gave him a pleasant smile. “Thanks, Mr. Alston. You can leave the wheelchair here. I’ll pick it up later.”Bria was fast asleep on Amelie’s shoulder, and Amelie was worried that she would wake the child up if she moved around too much. The last thing Amelie wanted was for her daughter to be hurt again by the sight of Leo leaving with another woman. Amelie turned to walk off after thanking Leo. However, right when Amelie arrived at her front door and was about to let herself in, she saw the man’s bony hand reaching forward to open the door for her.Amelie was shocked as she hadn’t expected Leo to come after her. “Thanks,” she uttered politely.

Thank you for spending time with Bria today. I appreciate it,” Amelie uttered in a curt and firm manner. She had no interest in hearing about Leo’s loving relationship with Elyse.Not interested? Amelie’s words stabbed Leo’s heart like a dagger. He was silent for a long while before he spoke. “You mentioned that you used to know me. What happened between us while we were still in Quinn Town?” he asked.Amelie hadn’t expected Leo to ask such a question. However, she was no longer in the mood to explain herself to him at that point. “We’ve been married for four years. Doesn’t that count as knowing each other? Anyway, don’t you know what happened between us in Quinn Town? What I meant was how we would bump into each other at least three times a day back in that town. You suspected that I had some ulterior motive, and I felt really misunderstood back then. I only brought it up because I hope that you’d stop assuming things about me.”Amelie pressed her lips
