My Sugar And Your Spice

Amelie never once interrupted Chandler until he got everything out of his chest. Nevertheless, a look of shock flashed past her eyes, and she even forgot to breathe by the time he was done with his tirade.

"I have to admit that all that information from you is very shocking to me, but he's an adult who knows what he's doing. All I can say is, I'm sorry," she said, gave him a nod, and walked past him. After the divorce, Leo had nothing to do with her. All he was to her was a familiar stranger. Therefore, she had no right to intervene in his affairs. Besides, even if they weren't strangers, her awkward status as his ex-wife made it weird for her to even talk to him normally, forget advising him away from his path. Faced with such logic, Chandler could do nothing but stare at her silently.

Even though she appeared nonchalant and composed in front of him, she still couldn't sleep a wink that night.

Too many things had happened between her and Leo that she couldn't help but be affected by his current situation even if she knew that she really shouldn't be.

But still, what can I do about it? she asked herself in exasperation, unable to fall asleep.

The next day, she started her journey back with two large dark circles under her eyes.

In the cab on the way to the airport, she gave Julia a call to inform her that she had taken care of her parents and also to bid her farewell.

"Are you leaving again?" Julia asked over the phone, sounding sad that Amelie had to leave. "I really want you to stay. Do you have any idea how bored I am without you?"

"Hurry up and have a child with Samuel. Then, I'm sure you wouldn't even have time to complain about being bored," To Julia's dismay, Amelie started teasing her instead. As a result, Amelie was faced with endless complaints from her best friend.

Finally, after they ended the call, Amelie massaged her temples in exhaustion. Since she didn't sleep well last night, she was starting to feel somewhat drowsy now that she was in the car.

"Sir, please wake me up when we reach the airport," she said to the driver in front, slumped into the seat, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

She didn't know how long she was asleep, but she did know that she was violently awakened from her restful slumber by a deafening bang. Before her brain even realized what was going on, her body was thrown forward due to the momentum.

Fortunately, she was wearing the seatbelt, which held her back firmly and prevented her face from slamming into the back of the seat in front of her. Nevertheless, this impact jerked her wide awake.
