My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 218

back, he heaved a sigh of relief. Gods, that was scary. But he was really bothered. I need to find out who she is. He didn’t even show that much love to Elyse.He thought Leo loved Elyse, as he never did anything when she threw her tantrums, but now he realized love should manifest itself in the form of care. He didn’t care for Elyse. He just let her do what she wanted.It was already seven, and Brianna slowly woke up. Groggily, she rubbed her eyes, but when she saw Amelie, delight and surprise welled within her. “Mommy!”Amelie stopped working, and the girl pounced on her, leaning in her embrace. Amelie fell backward, but someone held her lower back, steadying her. She could feel the warmth of their hand through her shirt. It was a strong, warm hold. Amelie froze, and then Bria said, “Daddy!”She stared at her father with big, gleaming eyes. Amelie stiffly moved away from Leo’s hand. “Thank you.” He has a new girl now. I should keep away from him. “Bria,” said Leo. He noticed Amelie trying to distance herself, and he frowned, a hint of anger flowing in his eyes.Amelie didn’t care. She held Brianna in her hands and went to search for her shoes. “It’s late. We should go home now.”Home? Brianna curled up, upset. She said nothing, but it was clear she wanted to be with Leo. Amelie looked at her daughter, and she sighed. She is so forgetful. Every time Leo is nice to her, she forgets all the cold shoulders he gave her. But she said nothing. Gently, she said, “Grandpa is going to worry if we don’t go home.”Brianna said nothing more. She slid down and wore her shoes.Leo looked at the girl. “It’s late. She must be hungry now. Let’s have dinner first.”“It’s alright,” said Amelie politely. I can grab dinner with her after we leave this place.Leo added, “I promised I’d take her to Starlight Tower.”Starlight Tower was the tallest building in Clouson. Brianna saw an ad once, and she had been dying to go there. Ever since Amelie moved to Halport, work and studies had been taking up all her time, so they never had the chance to go. She looked at Brianna, and Brianna was staring at her, even forgetting to tie her shoes.“Let’s go,” said Leo.Amelie was about to say no, but Brianna stood up and tugged on her shirt. “Aw, Mommy, let’s go.”She stared at her mother with anticipation in her eyes.
