My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 53 Chatting in Bed, Naked? Could You Believe That?

Since Lily referred to Amelie as ‘Elie’, it sounded similar to ‘Ely’, so Leo didn’t notice anything wrong

about what she said.

“Speaking of that girl, she really coddled you by coaxing and pampering you. One time when the nurse

accidentally knocked on your head, she was so upset about it that she cried. That silly girl had come

looking for me multiple times, asking me whether I can treat your eye. She even told me that she would

give you her cornea if we couldn’t get a suitable one for you.”

“I told her that it’s a risky procedure to extract the cornea from a living human as it might lead to

blindness or even death. She wasn’t bothered by it, and when she knew that she couldn’t do a test in

our hospital, she asked me where she could do it. How silly is that child? After that, I found out that she

did those just so you could get your eyesight back and go home, as she was worried that your family

had abandoned you because you were blind.”

After speaking of the past, Lily stopped talking and walked away when she noticed that there wasn’t a

reaction from Leo. She could tell that something might be off. Leo, however, was quiet as he remained

on his spot.

After Amelie left the hospital, she decided to go to her house to do some cleaning since she didn’t have

any other plans. Regardless of whether she was going to stay in the house or not in the future, she

thought that she should cherish it as her parents were the ones who built it. Apparently, Abby didn’t

take good care of the house because some of the spots were covered in mold, and the walls were

chipped.

Seeing that made Amelie’s heart break, and she thought of engaging a team of renovators after two

days to refurbish it. It took her an hour to clean up the interior of the house. As she got out of the house

with the garbage bag, a slim figure caught her attention. It was a woman’s figure which looked slender

and graceful. Amelie could tell that she was a beautiful woman just by looking at it. She couldn’t help

but look up and see a stunning yet familiar face. She frowned upon seeing her. What a horrible fate!

Why would I bump into someone whom I least wanted to three times in the same day?

Elyse was looking at Amelie from not too far away. Amelie, who had done a round of cleaning, naturally

looked sloppy, with her messy hair and sweat-covered forehead. However, her eyes shone bright like

stars. Elyse looked away displeasedly, and the natural sense of superiority that she possessed made

her lift her head high like a swan, and it made her look taller than Amelie. Amelie didn’t want to see her

at all, so she left without greeting her.

“Miss Dillon, why not hand over Bria’s custody rights?” Elyse turned her body slightly and demanded

without even greeting her.

“Miss Clayton, are you confused or something? Why would I hand over Bria’s custody rights?” Amelie

paused her footsteps and looked at Elyse.

Not only did Elyse not get mad after hearing what Amelie said, but she also covered her mouth with her

hand as she smiled. “Leo and I will be getting married soon, so her daughter will naturally be my

daughter. Moreover, it might be challenging for you to raise a child since you seem to have broken up

with the owner of Starlight Media. As a mother, I’m sure you’d want the best for your child. Leaving her

in the care of the Alston Family is the best for her, isn’t it?”

“If you send Bria to the Alston Family, you’ll have a chance at finding your happiness too. I see that the

man before this was pretty decent. He must be quite financially stable too. Instead of keeping your child

with you and keeping constant contact with your ex-husband, you should be married off to a good man

and get a taste of what happiness is like.”

As Amelie listened to her sarcastic remarks, she finally understood something. “Are you suspecting that

the reason I took Bria with me was just so that I could keep in touch with Leo?”

“Isn’t it so?” Elyse smiled. She was grinning, but her eyes were filled with anger.

“Miss Clayton, a few years back, you had intervened in our relationship and ruined it. It had caused Leo

and I to be separated from each other for the last four years. I didn’t care about these, but I am willing

to give you a chance to be happy. I believe that I’m already being very generous.”

Elyse’s shamelessness had triggered Amelie, and Amelie had decided to speak her mind since there

was no reason to hide them anymore!

“Miss Clayton, the way you speak might give other people who aren’t aware of it the impression that

you are the victim. Are you sure that I was the one who came between both of you?!”

“Was I wrong?” Elyse seemed unfazed by Amelie and refuted, “To be honest, there was nothing

between me and that man, and our relationship could be easily explained. It was because of your

involvement that things started getting awkward, and I could only let you have Leo while I endured the

pain of losing him.”

“I took your feelings into consideration and only explained to Leo after a year.” Elyse’s gaze was

somber, but she smirked as she spoke.

“One year later?” Amelie didn’t seem well after hearing that.

Throughout those four years, Leo was initially cold toward her, and that was it. A year after their

marriage, which was not long after she gave birth to Bria, he would occasionally visit Bria. One day, he

sent her a text telling her that he was going on a business trip and that he would reconsider their

relationship when he was back. When Amelie thought of how he was starting to warm up to her, she

thought that he had finally decided to accept her. She was so glad about it and waited patiently for his

answer.

However, when he got back, Amelie noticed that not only was he colder toward her, he had gotten

hostile as well. Since then, he had allowed his family and friends to bully her. It turned out that he had

met up with Elyse during his business trip, and she uttered the same words to him. Amelie couldn’t

suppress her rage anymore as she was fuming with anger. The reason Elyse did so was so that Amelie

would suffer! All those years, Amelie chose not to argue about it, but since Elyse had stepped on her,

she decided not to hold back anymore.

“Miss Clayton, it seems like you have a poor memory. Back then, when the reporters asked whether

you cheated, you were silent for five whole minutes. Isn’t that five minutes sufficient for you to clarify

the situation? Even if the reporters didn’t believe your words, Leo was standing next to you. I’m sure

that he’d be willing to hear you out.”

Elyse narrowed her gaze and was lost for words after hearing what she said. She had always thought

that Amelie wasn’t a presentable woman. However, at that moment, what Amelie said was spot on, and

she could even predict what Elyse’s answer would be. Elyse was left with no grounds to refute her

remarks.

With that, Amelie nonchalantly walked around Elyse and said, “Miss Clayton, if it wasn’t for my

appearance, your cheating scandal would have been confirmed, and your reputation would have been

ruined four years ago. If that had happened, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to stand in front of

me and claim that you’re the victim. You are, in fact, indebted to me. I never expected you to pay me

back for it, but please don’t appear in front of me and sputter such ungrateful nonsense!”

Elyse was once again lost for words as she froze on the spot with a grave expression on her face. The

proud look on her face had disappeared! She was so mortified that she couldn’t even feel her

fingernails snapping within her tightly clenched fists. She had gone from being the victim to the

beneficiary while Amelie, who had made her lose Leo had become her savior. How could the proud

Elyse accept such an account?

“Right, you said that there was nothing between you and that man, so could it be that something was

wrong with my eyes? Both of you were naked, so don’t tell me that you guys were just chatting in bed,

naked? Could you even believe your own words?” As Amelie looked at Elyse, a figure standing not far

from them caught her attention.
