My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 216

since this one was too simple. In other words, she said the ring was cheap. But he didn’t care. He wanted to use that ring to humiliate Amelie.Yet Amelie wasn’t unhappy. Instead, she grinned like an idiot when she saw the ring. Even when the retail assistants were mocking her due to Leo’s lack of love for her, she didn’t mind.
