My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 107 Truly Outstanding

“What’s wrong?”

When Elyse saw his face like this, she turned to look at his phone.

However, he had put away his phone. “I have something urgent to do. You go in alone.”

Without waiting for Elyse’s response, he strode away.

In the private room at Prix Bar.

When Toby walked in, he saw Leo already sitting inside. Leo was wearing a black shirt that contrasted

against his fair skin, and his expression was very serious and unhappy.

“Didn’t you accompany Elyse to the funfair? It’s over so soon?” Toby asked, looking slightly surprised.

However, Leo didn’t respond and just drank on his own. After Toby came in, Leo’s brows furrowed even

tighter. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Toby didn’t ask any more questions. Toby sat across from him and

poured alcohol. He often wore white clothes, and he looked gentle and stylish in his clothes.

Leo’s eyes darkened as they fell on him. “You like Amelie?” he asked.

Toby paused when he poured the alcohol, but it was only for two seconds.

“Yeah.” He gave an affirmative answer.

Leo’s fingers holding the glass suddenly tightened as his knuckles turned white. The thin glass nearly

broke under his forceful grip.

“She’s such a nasty woman; what do you like about her?” he asked with a snort.

He gritted his teeth as he continued, “When did your tastes become so bad?”

Toby’s fingers also clenched hard at that, and a slight displeasure appeared on his face. His

displeasure came from Leo’s evaluation of Amelie. However, he didn’t point it out but instead smiled. “I

think my tastes have improved. In your opinion, Amelie is a nasty woman, but in my opinion, she is truly

outstanding.”

Leo stiffened, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Even though Amelie had changed a lot after the

divorce, he definitely didn’t think that this woman was outstanding.

“Since when did you start falling in love with her?” He lowered his head and sipped his wine, pretending

to be indifferent.

Toby narrowed his eyes slightly. His long eyelashes overshadowed his gaze while he thought carefully.

“When did I fall in love with her? It was probably when she knelt on the ground covered in blood and

begged the doctor to draw her own blood to save her daughter. The doctor refused, and she cut herself

to give the blood to her daughter.”

Leo’s lips paused on the rim of the glass when he heard that. It was as if someone had hit his back

hard with a stick, and his whole body was numb from the pain. After a while, he slowly raised his head

and looked at Toby with shocked eyes. Toby had mentioned this before, but he had never spoken so

clearly before.

Amelie even cut herself?

Toby was deep in his thoughts and wasn’t paying attention to Leo’s reaction. He continued, “In other

people’s eyes, she is crazy, but to me, she is a mother who is strong for her child and can do anything

for her child. She may have made mistakes, but how bad can a woman who can devote herself to her

child to this extent be? Saving her daughter without consideration of her own life is enough to show that

she loves this child a lot, and she probably loves the person who gave her this child a lot too.”

Cough! Cough cough cough!

Leo suddenly choked, and he coughed violently. The discomfort in his throat spread to his heart and

lungs, and his heart and lungs were affected with sharp and painful spasms!

It wasn’t until this moment that he suddenly realized that perhaps it wasn’t because of benefits that

Amelie forcibly tied herself to him back then, but because of… Love!

Therefore, the thoughtfulness that she had shown was not to solely please him, but because she loved

him from the bottom of her heart! The more he thought about it, the worse he coughed. The pain in his

chest was getting worse! With fingers clenched tightly on his chest, he felt there was something silently

flowing through him there. It took him a long time to stabilize himself a little.

“Since you know that her life has not been easy, don’t trouble her anymore! With her situation and

status, your family will not accept her!” he said in a deep voice.

Toby rubbed his eyebrows with a wry smile. “It’s not a question of whether my family accepts her, but

whether she accepts me. If she accepts me, I’m happy to leave my family for her.”

Leo was speechless. He stared fixedly at Toby without many expressions on his face, but his heart was

already filled with turmoil. Toby is willing to give up everything for her?

His chest tightened more and more as if an air pump had been installed in his chest cavity, making him

unable to breathe!

Toby put down his wine glass and stood up. He put his hands down and looked at Leo. “Leo, I don’t

care what you did to her before. But she has divorced you now. If you dare to hurt her again, I swear I

will go against you!”

These last words sounded powerful!

Snap! The glass in Leo’s hand was broken into two pieces by him! Blood-red liquid mixed with blood

dripped down, but he didn’t seem to feel the pain. He also stood up, the coldness on his face apparent.

“You actually would turn against me because of a woman?”

Toby didn’t say anything more, and he walked away. Leo stood on the spot like a wood carving, with

fury visible in his eyes. But he couldn’t figure out whether this anger was because Toby wanted to turn

against him, or whether Toby fell in love with his ex-wife.

“Leo!” Elyse ran in from the outside.

Holding his bleeding hand in distress, she asked, “How did you injure yourself like this?”

“I’ve heard that Amelie wrote a message to part with you for good and gave it to Jodie. She wanted

Toby to marry her with ease. I think she might really like Toby. You don’t have to worry about Toby at

all.”

Her words caused Leo’s fingers to clench tightly again, and he didn’t even notice that he was clenching

her fingers too. Elyse felt a sharp pain coming and exclaimed, but he didn’t respond. All he could think

about was the message that Jodie sent him before, which consisted of the note where Amelie said that

she would no longer pester him!

After a while, he let go suddenly upon realizing that he had hurt Elyse. Elyse rubbed her fingers in pain.

They had turned purple. With unhappiness on her face, she said, “The wound on your hand is very

deep. Let’s go to the hospital to get it checked.”

Leo didn’t respond but stepped past her and strode away.

Elyse was speechless at that.

After settling down Bria, Amelie checked the things to bring again. She then found that there was no

water in the car. Hence, she came down with the key and walked to the 24-hour supermarket. But after

only a few steps, she saw Leo standing on the side of the road dressed in black with cold eyes.

Noticing her coming out, he suddenly raised his head and looked over. His expression was gloomy and

hostile.

Although startled by his look, Amelie didn’t show it. A mocking smile crept across her face. “Oh, are

you afraid that I won’t leave, Mr. Alston? So, you came here to make sure that I leave? Don’t worry. I’ve

promised to leave the city. From now on, we will never cross paths again. If you’re worried, Mr. Alston,

you can just send a few people to watch me instead of coming here in person.”

Her tone was light as if she was joking, but her expression said otherwise. Leo clenched his fists tightly

at that. Then, he walked over, grabbed Amelie’s shoulders abruptly, and pressed her into his arms all at

once!
