My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 64

Chris was one of the more famous guys in upper society. Leo was known for his business genius, while

Chris was known for his racing skills. Yes, he was a racer, and a good one at that too. He won a few

professional racing competitions and was a model for a lot of car dealerships’ advertisements.

Chris and Leo were second cousins as their grandparents were brothers. A guy like Chris talking to a

no-name useless woman like Amelie? Elyse was shocked. She tried to see Amelie’s face, but her back

was turned toward her. She couldn’t see Chris’ face either. Only Julia was facing her, and she looked

delighted.

Elyse clenched her fists. She couldn’t believe Chris was talking to those women. He might be famous,

but he was also haughty. Even she got nothing but a cold shoulder every time she tried to say hi. If it

were someone else, he wouldn’t even give them a second of his time. Yet he stopped to talk to them.

They must be special. Who is Amelie to him?

Elyse’s mind was assailed by a thousand thoughts, and she turned her attention to Leo, trying to find

solace. But to her chagrin, his eyes were fixated on the trio before them as well, though he was

inscrutable. I wonder what he’s thinking. Ever since that wench congratulated us, he has been acting

weird.

Elyse’s heart skipped a beat, but she remained composed. Then, she pretended to have just thought of

something and giggled with a hand over her mouth. “Oh my, look at me. Overreacting for nothing. Julia

is famous for her tendency to make friends. She gets a lot of high-profile guests during her live stream.

I bet she’s asking him to co-star in her next stream.”

Yeah, Chris is here for Julia, not Amelie. He didn’t stop for Amelie. He did it for Julia, she thought.

Amelie underwent a dramatic change after the divorce. She became gorgeous, confident, and

stunning. It was like she was a whole different person, and yet that couldn’t change the fact that she

was the daughter of a mere cobbler. She’s nothing but a peasant. A peasant who will never be on par

with us. Her life will amount to nothing. No need to fear someone like her. At this thought, she held

Leo’s arm. “It’s not every day we run into Chris. We should say hi.”

Leo grunted almost inaudibly, and they approached Chris.

Through the corner of her eye, Amelie noticed her ex-husband and his new girlfriend approaching. Her

lips curled downward, and she wished to leave. “See you later, Mr. Alston.”

She dragged her friend away and walked in the opposite direction to where Leo and Elyse were going.

They were like two parallel lines, but when they passed each other, Amelie didn’t even turn around.

She kept whispering to her friend, and then they went by Leo.

Leo saw her smile. It was beautiful, and her eyes twinkled like stars-beautiful and unadulterated-in the

sky. Her forehead gleamed and her cheeks were rosy. He had never seen her like that. She glimmered

like an elf walking in a city. Once again, he painfully realized how much she was ignoring him, and she

didn’t do it on purpose. It felt natural like she didn’t care about him.

Leo clenched his fists. Before Amelie, he never thought someone could change so much. It felt like

magic. She was a different person entirely. Even now, he could remember how she acted two days

before the divorce. She had stood in his path with her head hung low, and when she raised her eyes,

he remembered seeing love, hope for reciprocation of her feelings, and caution in them.

But it hadn’t been a month since then, and already she treated him like he was air. He was already

annoyed by the mockery she dished out earlier, and now her dismissive attitude hit his ego hard. A

wave of pain originated from his heart and spread to his entire body, and his face fell.

Elyse had to call out to him a few more items to snap him out of his stupor. “Chris is calling out to you,

Leo.” He looked up coolly, and Elyse looked at him awkwardly There was a smile on her lips, but the

look in her eyes spoke of embarrassment He was staring at her right in front of me. This is humiliating It

was supposed to be the best day of her life, and yet all she tasted was the bitterness of defeat.

“Chris,” said Leo.

Chris had his hands in his pockets, and there was a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. “You feel more

dangerous

after the divorce, Leo. Feels like you’re about to kill someone. What’s the matter?” He wiggled his

eyebrows.

Chris made it sound nonchalant, but Elyse got the underlying message, and it annoyed her. What did

he mean by that? Is he trying to say Leo’s upset about the divorce?

She held her anger back and explained, “He’s handling a big company. Every decision he makes will

affect hundreds of families. It’s only natural that he’s solemn.” Then, Elyse huddled closer to Leo to

indicate to Chris that they were dating.

Chris got the message, and he nodded with a smile.

“So why did Julia meet up with you? Is she trying to ask for a collaboration?” She pretended to be

curious about Julia when in reality, she just wanted to find out more about her enemy.

“No.” Chris shook his head. Just when Elyse was about to change the subject, he added, “I met up with

them.”

“Y-You met up with them?” Elyse felt her heart leap into her throat, and she stared at Chris in disbelief.

He’s an even more arrogant guy than Leo, and yet he came to see those two? That is unbelievable.

Chris didn’t entertain Elyse’s curiosity further. Instead, he turned his attention to Leo. “We’re holding a

small racing event. Wanna come?”

“Not interested,” answered Leo calmly. His eyes were still recovering High-impact activities were not

recommended for him.

“Aw, but I wanna go, Leo,” said Elyse. She heaved a sigh of relief in silence Good He was only talking

to Julia, not Amelie. She swung Leo’s arm. “Come with me, please ”

Elyse used to be a racer as well, and a veteran at that. She had some skills, and this competition was

the perfect one to show them off. She also wanted to vent her frustration and use this chance to tell the

whole. upper society that she had gotten back with Leo.

“Ah, it’ll be worth your time.” Chris smirked at Leo. “There’s going to be a surprise.”

“Ooh, what kind of surprise?” asked Elyse curiously.
