My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 219

coolly.When the driver raised his head to meet Leo’s eyes, he froze as if stricken by fear. In most cases, the man should’ve fought with Leo to protect his girlfriend, but the murderous gleam within Leo’s gaze had made him chicken out.Amelie thought the way Leo punished the woman was a bit too much, though what the woman did earlier was indeed careless. If Amelie hadn’t moved back fast enough, the door would have slammed into Bria and her. In the end, she merely thanked the man and didn’t say anything else after that.Leo pulled his hand back and took Bria into his arms. Then, he went ahead without saying another word.Amelie scratched her nose in confusion. Is he… mad? Did I do something wrong? She spent four years observing the man. She knew how he expressed his anger, but she hadn’t gotten to know him too well, so she had no idea why he was angry. Though, she didn’t bother to figure out the reason and went after them.Leo and Bria entered the elevator. The moment Amelie was about to walk into the elevator, the door started sliding shut. Most elevator doors would open back up the moment they slammed into someone, but that slam was awful nonetheless. Figuring she wouldn’t be fast enough to dodge it, Amelie closed her eyes as she waited for the impact to land, but she felt nothing even after a long while.“Come in, Mommy,” Bria said.When Amelie opened her eyes, she saw a pair of hands holding the doors back. Those were Leo’s hands, and Bria was hanging from the man’s neck, holding him tightly.Amelie quickly hopped in and stood at the corner.Leo pulled his hands back in silence and held Bria once again while throwing a glance at Amelie. His gaze filled with admonishment.The little girl in his arms chuckled. “You’re such an airhead, Mommy. Good thing Daddy is always protecting you.” Her head bumped into the man’s chin as she giggled.The man said nothing. He merely covered her head with his hand so she wouldn’t hurt herself. He looked just like a father taking care of his child.An old woman who shared the elevator with them happily said, “It’s a father’s job to protect his wife.” She looked at them. “The three of you look great together, not to mention beautiful, too. You’re the perfect family I’ve ever seen.”Amelie wanted to say they were not a family, but then she noticed the smile on her daughter’s face. It was a beautiful, happy smile. If I said that, that’d be too cruel to her. I should stay quiet instead. With that in mind, she remained silent. Even though she tried not to look at Leo’s face, she could still see his chin and lips when she looked at Bria since he was holding the little girl. She couldn’t help but notice a slight smile on his lips. Is he… smiling? Why? She realized just then she might actually not know the man that well.Starlight Tower’s restaurant was resplendent and bright, and it was filled with comfy little couches. The place looked like a warm and inviting cottage. Since Leo made his reservations, they got the window view. The city unfurled beneath them, and lights were coming on like stars twinkling in the night sky.Bria giggled happily, extending her hands in an attempt to catch the ‘stars.’ Leo let her do what she wanted.The food here was marvelous. A moment later, they were served with big Amidalia lobsters, beautifully cut foie gras, and T-bone steaks imported from Amidalia. In the end, the manager even served them wine, saying that the patrons dubbed them ‘the best customer for the night.’ After pouring them two glasses of wine, the manager bowed before leaving the family of three to dine in peace.Amelie looked at the wine awkwardly. She figured the both of them shouldn’t be drinking wine together since they were not a couple. Thus, she ignored it and focused on cutting the steak for Bria.Elegantly, Leo picked his
