My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Has to Do With Someone

Amelie didn’t continue her train of thought, but she felt immense pain in her heart as if someone had ripped it open! The pain was moderate but intense!

Julia took Amelie straightaway to Starlight Media. Bria was there as well. Due to the fight with the Alstons, Amelie feared something might happen, so she didn’t send her to school.

Bria walked over to them with Blake holding her hand.

“Mommy!” She quickly leaped into Amelie’s embrace. Even though they were just separated for a few hours, she was missing her mother already.

Amelie bent over and caught her petite body. When she felt the soft sensation in her embrace, the coldness in her heart instantly softened.

“Have you been good, Bria? You didn’t disturb Mr. Gareth’s live stream, did you?” She asked lightly.

“Nope,” Blake answered for Bria, his voice clear and warm.

Somehow it reminded Amelie of a clear spring in the mountains. His pale clean face was tinted with concern for her, and his eyes were curved when he looked at her. It was just the perfect amount, though, and it didn’t look offensive.

“Mommy, Bria has been very, very good,” Bria said.

After spending so much time with Jamie and Julia, Bria’s personality changed significantly, and she turned into quite the mischievous girl. However, she wanted Blake to be her dad. She felt she had to be good and obedient, so Blake would like her even more.

“Mr. Gareth is handsome and gentle and can even do difficult dances on ice.” She piled the praises on Blake, her large eyes glancing at Amelie.

Her intentions were obvious: she was trying to sell Blake to her mommy.

Of course, Amelie knew what she was thinking, but she pretended not to notice. She poked Bria on the nose. “Mommy has something to tell you.”

Bria reluctantly waved at Blake. “Goodbye, Mr. Gareth.”

Julia was a little jealous. “You’re so young, but you already know to prioritize men over your friends! Hmph!”

Bria grinned, then ran over to Julia and planted a kiss on her nose. “I didn’t forget you, Julia. Look, I kiss only you like this, and I’ve never kissed Mr. Gareth before.”

Yes, Mr. Gareth is reserved for kisses from Mommy only.

Thanks to Bria’s antics, Julia was finally appeased and satisfied.

She also planted a few kisses on Bria’s cheeks before nudging her petite body. “Go on, get inside with Mommy.”

Amelie brought Bria into Julia’s personal office. Then, they closed the door. She carried Bria onto a chair and settled her in.

Afterward, she spoke, pressing onto Bria’s small shoulders, “Mommy talked to the Alston Family just now. From now on, they won’t take Bria away anymore.”

“Really?” Bria’s small face was tinted with evident joy.

Last time, the Alstons didn’t leave a particularly good impression on her, and she hated them even more than she used to.

“They didn’t bully you, right, Mommy?” She immediately began to worry again.

With her soft little hands, she cupped Amelie’s face and observed it from every angle. In her memories, Jodie would slap Amelie every time she got upset. When she saw that there were no marks on Amelie’s face, she finally sighed in relief.

Amelie quietly watched her daughter’s movements, her heart softening. When she was in the Alston Residence, only Bria cared about her. Every time she was beaten by Jodie or treated coldly by Melissa, Bria would run over to her and comfort her.

While holding Bria’s soft small hands, Amelie smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t let them bully me anymore.”

“Also… I have to apologize to you.” At that, she lowered her head in remorse, then told Bria how she managed to convince the Alstons to give up.

“I’m sorry, Bria. I was a bad example. Please don’t do the things I did.”

Even if she didn’t tell Bria about this, Bria would still know of it from the Alstons. Moreover, they only had each other. Amelie hoped that she and Bria could maintain a transparent and communicative relationship instead of a mere connection between an elder and the younger generation.

“Mommy, you said that I’m the daughter of the boss of Starlight Media, and you are the boss of Starlight Media, so you’re not wrong,” Bria said wisely, “So you didn’t lie, Mommy. You just chose another way to say it.”

Her words surprised Amelie, and the latter couldn’t help but be stunned. Since when did this little girl become so wise? She even knew about putting things in another way?

Bria could sense Amelie’s confusion. She blinked her large eyes gleefully. “Mr. White and Mr. Gareth taught me a lot about live streaming these days. They said it’s important to choose your words so that you attract other people’s attention. I’ve been learning a lot.”

Bria put on a proud and delightful expression and looked very cute. Amelie couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She didn’t say anything as she kept rubbing the little girl’s soft hair. Bria’s improvement was quite noticeable. It was a wise decision to cut off ties with the Alston Family.

As Amelie pondered, her phone rang. She looked down and saw a string of numbers. In addition, she couldn’t be more familiar with this number. In the past, she wanted to dial this number countless times but never dared to touch it. She feared that the person would be upset. However, all of a sudden, she had absolutely no feelings at all.

She realized that as soon as a person decided to change, their hearts would become as still as a puddle of water, and they would be very cold and cruel. For example, she didn’t want to hear their voices right now. Without another thought, Amelie rejected the call.

On the other end of the line, Leo’s expression became more gloomy as he watched the phone screen while his call was being declined. How dare this woman ignore me after committing such shameful crimes?

Leo had just left his house. A fire was raging in his heart. All these years, no matter how huge a problem he faced, he could always force himself to calm down. However, the bomb dropped by Amelie this morning completely defeated him! Even a few hours after the incident, he was still suppressing the fire in his heart. The fire had not been extinguished; instead, it grew even more intense!

4 years ago, Amelie had pursued him shamelessly and announced that they were engaged, leading to their marriage. However, she did that not because she loved him but because… she wanted to give the child of the boss of Starlight Media a proper identity?

It hurt even more than the claims she made about doing things out of love for him. 100 times, 1000 times, 10000 times more!

Unable to appease his anger, he redialed the number. This time, the call didn’t even go through! Amelie had blocked him! He gripped his phone, his fingers turning white from the force! His joints were so tense that they were almost dislocated!

Just then, the door opened. Toby walked in.

When Toby saw Leo, he hastily said, “I contacted Foxy, but she’s not willing to help us. What do we do now?”

It was as if Leo hadn’t heard his voice, and he didn’t even spare Toby a glance as he passed by right in front of Toby. Leo had left.

Toby felt a depressing and freezing breeze, and he couldn’t help but shiver. This man…

“What’s going on?” He looked toward Ashton and Elyse, who were seated.

In the past, no matter how bad a mood Leo was in, he was never careless about work. Nevertheless, Leo had absolutely no response to the words Toby had just uttered.

“What else? He had been manipulated for 4 years and found out the child wasn’t his. How can he possibly be in a good mood?” Ashton spoke up mockingly.

Of course, he wasn’t mocking Leo. His target was Amelie. He briefly explained the events that happened.

“You keep saying Amelie is a good person, but I’m seriously doubting your standards now.” Ashton had always been dissatisfied with how Toby always sided with Amelie.

However, Leo wasn’t in a bad mood. The more outrageous Amelie’s actions were, the less likely he was to be involved with her.

Elyse, who was seated across from him, was satisfied as well. She never thought such good news would come from nowhere. Now, even the child wasn’t Leo’s, so what else would she be worried about? As long as that incident wasn’t exposed, Leo would have to pamper and love her for his entire life. At the thought of that, Elyse stood up gracefully.

She walked to a desolate spot, took out the phone she had been gripping, and made a call. “You said before that Leo complied with all my requests because of one thing. It’s also because of this incident that he would never abandon me and listen to everything I say. What exactly is this thing?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“That incident actually has something to do with someone…” The person on the other end of the line spoke slowly.

“Who is it?”
