My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 224

man frowned at her words. “Well, Bria’s my daughter, and I want to make time for her. I don’t see an issue with that.” He stuck his hands into his pants as he spoke coldly.His words… Why does he sound like he’s trying to pick a fight? Amelie was too stunned to speak for a moment, so she had no choice but to remain silent. “Mommy, let’s have dinner with Daddy again today.” Bria held onto Amelie’s hand while looking at her. The girl was petite, so she had to stick her head up just to meet Amelie’s gaze. Dinner had been wonderful the night before, and she was still yearning for more time with her parents.Naturally, Amelie disagreed with that idea. “Your dad’s busy. We shouldn’t take up too much of his time.”“I came all the way here, anyway. I don’t mind having a meal,” Leo added right after she finished her words. She was speechless after that. She couldn’t help but give him a long stare. She felt like he had been acting differently in recent days. He used to be so eager to get away from me. Why is he suggesting that we have a meal together now? Did he injure his head or something?

I’m glad I have this as an excuse, Amelie thought to herself.“Why don’t we invite him for dinner at home, then?” Bria suggested. Amelie was speechless after that. It seems like this young lady has forgotten whose side she’s on ever since Leo pampered her a little. The little girl was worried that her mother would reject her suggestion again, so she tugged Amelie’s sleeve. “Please say yes, Mommy. Daddy traveled all the way here, and he must be hungry. It’d be so sad if he didn’t get to have a meal with us.” She was a sneaky but smart little girl—she knew how to widen her eyes and purse her lips when she wanted something. She knew that others wouldn’t reject her when she looked both adorable and pitiful at the same time. Amelie parted her lips to speak, but she couldn’t bring herself to reject Bria. “I don’t mind skipping a meal if you don’t have enough food for three. I just want to spend time with Bria since she’s so fond of me.” Leo, who had been silent, finally spoke up for himself. Amelie
