My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 233

admitted that he was, at the very least, sharp.Even without needing her reminder, he would know to hide away if he overheard their conversation.“Oh?” Leo looked at her.Not in the mood to seduce him, Elyse only wanted to make him leave of his own accord as fast as possible.As expected, Leo turned around, yet he added, “Aren’t you calling your father right now? Tell him to come back with your sister.”Caught off guard, Elyse did not think that Leo would notice such a small detail.This made her grip her phone tightly and look at him as if she was looking at a monster.When did Leo become so observant?Leo then kept his silence.Naturally, he would not tell her that he was always so observant.In the past, he did not question her out of love for her.Now, it was simply because he no longer needed to give her his love.Exposed by Leo, Elyse found no other option but to call Michael again.This time, Michael did not answer the call.“I think something might have happened to Ellen,” she stated dryly.Nodding, Leo got into his car, which was parked right beside the residence. The sight of him getting into the car relieved Elyse before she followed him into the car.Not daring to sit in the back seat, she chose to sit in the front passenger seat.When she turned around, she saw that Leo had his arms crossed and eyes shut.“Just reverse the car out,” she ordered the chauffeur.Since the alleyway was too narrow, there was no way to make a U-turn.Yet, the chauffeur remained motionless, looking only at Leo.Obviously, he only took command from Leo.In the past, this chauffeur used to drive her around. Now, he acted as if he had never seen her before.Elyse cursed him under her breath before saying to Leo, “Leo, this alley is a dead end. We can only reverse out.”“Just wait.”Expressionless, Leo only moved his lips.But it was these two words that scared the wits out of Elyse.What’s wrong with this man today?Why must he see my ‘sister?’“What if they aren’t coming back today? They often stay at a place for one or two days if my sister fancies it.” Elyse clutched the platinum bag on her lap tightly so as to maintain her sanity.“It’s not like they’ll stay there for an eternity, will they?” Leo suddenly opened his eyes before lurching forward.He pressed his hands against the chair before extending his neck, exchanging his gaze with Elyse, who got shocked so much that she jumped a bit.At that moment, she was akin to frightened prey while Leo watched her every move in silence.The more silent he got, the more naked Elyse felt she was to him.Are my secrets already known to him?If I make such a man like Leo into my enemy, it will mean the end of my life.After a long while, she managed a squeak. “Not that they will.”Leo then lay back and resumed resting.Lowering her head, Elyse carefully took her phone out, wanting to send Michael a message, telling him to not come back.Yet, she only managed to type one word before her phone was snatched away.“Miss Clayton, I’ll be taking your phone for safekeeping temporarily.” The driver was the one who took it.Speechless, Elyse was livid.Unfortunately, without Leo to back her up, she was nothing in front of the chauffeur, as he ignored her and placed her phone in the storage bin.Elyse naturally knew that a chauffeur would not dare to offend her, meaning that this was planned by Leo.Feeling regretful, she thought that if she had not kicked up a fuss and had married him back then, she would not be stuck in this predicament now.The thing Elyse felt remorse about was getting affected by that person to do this sort of thing.Not only did the outcome affect her relationship with Leo, but it also allowed Amelie to come between their lives.As time went by, Leo seemed like he had really fallen asleep, for he stayed motionless for hours.Elyse, who could only watch the sky slowly darken, prayed that her father would not come back.Night came. With no streetlights to illuminate the surroundings, Leo’s car
