My Sugar And Your Spice

Amelie hurriedly tried to break free.

Suddenly, she was lowered down. She had been placed in a car seat.

She swiftly darted out of Leo's arms and clung tight to the seat.

Bang.

The door gently closed.

The next thing she knew, he was getting in the driver's seat.

Then, the car started.

That was all done in the space of a few seconds.

"Hey!" she called out, confused by his actions.

However, she saw him tap and swipe at the car navigation system to enter the address of her home in Halport.

Was he... driving her home?

She stared at him in shock.

"It has been a long time since I've seen Bria. I want to visit her," he said.

He said that with a straight face.

If her memory was right, those two had just met a while ago.

Leo drove quickly, and in a few minutes, they were already on the highway.

It was already too late for her to say anything.

It was nearly midnight by the time they arrived at her home.

Steven was not home yet.

As Toby dragged her away without giving her time to prepare, Amelie had to ask her neighbor, Mrs. Levine, to babysit Bria.

When the two of them arrived, Bria was fast asleep in Mrs. Levine's home.

Amelie repeatedly apologized for how late it was while Leo walked over to tenderly lift Bria into his arms.

Even so, she was awoken by the shift. She stared at Leo while drowsily rubbing her eyes.

He looked down at her and kissed her on the forehead.

Her lips spread into a wide grin. "Dada."

She then wormed into his embrace, shuffling around to find a comfortable spot before going back to sleep.

Mrs. Levine watched their interaction with wide eyes and gave Amelie a nudge. "The child's father is a great man. He's handsome and knows how to take care of kids."

That rendered Amelie speechless.

When they headed back to her home, he acted as though he was only there because he wanted to see Bria.
