My Sugar And Your Spice

Amelie had been in love before, so she instantly saw through the new girl's thoughts. She was interested in Toby.

Amelie turned to look at him.

The gentle smile on his stern face previously had vanished.

To be more exact, there was a conflicted look on his face.

She did not know what it meant, but she was absolutely certain that he and the girl knew each other.

"I'll leave you to it," she said, kindly stepping away.

Her dress swished as she strode away.

......

"What is going on, Leony? Why did you let Toby get together with Foxy?"

After searching the whole place in frustration, Melissa finally found her son. The instant she did so, she began to question him, making no effort to suppress her disappointment.

Her youthful face no longer looked elegant and refined. Instead, she looked frustrated and breathless.

In contrast, Leo looked so calm that it made others wonder if they belonged to two separate dimensions instead.

They were acting very differently from each other.

He remained where he was with two hands resting against the railing with a calm and handsome face. If one were to look closer, one would realize he was staring at something in the distance.

Three figures could be seen reflected in his eyes with one of them slowly drifting away from the other two with a swish of her dress.

His gaze trailed the departing figure until she vanished from his sight.

"Are you listening to me, Leony?" Melissa was so furious when she did not hear a response from him after a while. Still, she dared not cause a scene because she was afraid of humiliation. Thus, she had no choice but to suppress her rage.

Her exquisite makeup was starting to crack, though.

It was only then that Leo slowly turned around and looked at her.

When he looked at her, the warmth lurking deep within his eyes had vanished and was replaced by his usual cool aloof look.
