My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 3

“How could it possibly be here?” Yet another person expressed his disagreement. His tone was filled with contempt as he spoke. “If she had such talent, she would have seduced Leo with it. Don’t insult those dancers by comparing them to her.” While Leo’s friends were talking, he raised his head and looked at the woman’s figure faintly, thinking to himself, She does look like Amelie, but that’s impossible. Amelie is a scheming woman with a mouth full of lies. There was no way she would be here and dancing to such erotic dance when she had to be cautious in order to be titled Mrs. Alston. As Leo thought about it, he couldn’t help but recall her reaction when they met at the restaurant. Then, he got up from his seat and walked to the side, calling home. “Is Mrs. Alston at home?” On the other end of the phone, the maid replied, “She… She hasn’t been back since morning.” When Leo heard the maid’s answer, his face darkened immediately. Then, he smirked coldly and thought, Is she playing tricks for me to feel sorry for her? I won’t fall for it the second time! Thinking about it, Leo walked back into the booth and sat down calmly. At that moment, one of his friends leaned toward him, whispering, “You shouldn’t have dated Amelie, Leo. You should have ended things with her by giving her money. Now, look at what she did. Although she had told you that it was an accident and she would not hold on to it, the next thing she did was announce to the reporters that you two were engaged. Not even the movies will make a scene of such shameless actions.” When Leo heard his friend’s words, he recalled some unpleasant memories and frowned, looking grim. “Stop talking about what happened.” The other person interjected. “As a man, Leo couldn’t do anything when it happened. Since they had s*x by accident, won’t he be humiliating her by giving her money?” “Why don’t you ask Leo if it was really an accident? I would say that she set this whole thing up on purpose!” “Even if she were the one who did it, without what had happened next, there wouldn’t—” Before the spokesperson finished his words, he cut himself off and glanced at Leo uneasily. Although Leo did not say anything and was only drinking, his face was grim. At that moment, the atmosphere was awkward. Then, one of his friends patted him on the shoulder to provide comfort. “You have been married to her for four years, Leo. I’m sure you have forgotten what she looks like. If that’s the case, why not dump her? It’s not worth wasting your

time on garbage like her.” “I’m sure that only those hideous and poor men would want her after she had divorced you. After all, she is a perfect match for them!” Soon, the room was filled with laughter and snickers. Outside the room, Julia was furious. Initially, they were just passing by when they heard Leo’s friends’ conversation. When Julia heard it, she clenched her fists and was going to burst into the room when Amelie dragged her out. When they were outside, Julia roared angrily, “Why did you stop me?! I can’t overlook this when those arrogant b*stards treated you like this!” As the person in the eye of the storm, Amelie was calm. She patted Julia on the shoulder and explained, “Let them say whatever they want. I’m already divorced.” Before she was divorced, she had always tried to explain herself. She wanted to change Leo and his friends’ perspectives about her but to no avail. At that moment, she did it because she wished to have a harmonious family. Since she didn’t need such a thing anymore, she didn’t care what others had to say about her. However, Julia was still mad. “I can’t believe it. You have been with him for so many years, and not only was he doubtful of you, he didn’t even want to remember your face! Moreover, he even feels that you would be a great match to some hideous poor man. Trust me. I will show them how outstanding you are and who will be your perfect match!” When Amelie heard her words, she thought Julia was just venting and didn’t keep it in mind. After comforting her, Amelie left. The next day, she remembered that she had left something important at the Alston Residence and went to retrieve it. When she arrived at the Alston Residence, she didn’t enter the house and called the maid, telling her to retrieve it. When she hung up the call, a car drove in and stopped in front of her, after which Leo appeared, still wearing his signature disinterested expression. When he saw her, he looked at her in annoyance. As expected. After seeing that I ignored her when she had thrown a tantrum for the whole night, she returned. Thinking about it, Leo ordered her rudely. “If you’re done messing around, get back inside!” Hearing his words, Amelie was startled, but then she realized that he must have assumed she was still in love with him. With that, she smiled faintly and reminded him, saying, “I’m afraid you must have lost your memory, Mr. Alston. We got a divorce yesterday.” When Leo heard her words, he frowned, snapping, “Enough is enough. I was just being nice, and if you keep insisting, you will humiliate yourself!” Being nice? Does he think that by talking rudely, he is nice to me? Amelie thought. Just as she was about to speak up, she heard poppingContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

sounds and looked over where the sound was. Then, she saw a giant banner with the words ‘ Congratulations on escaping your misery, Amelie! You have gotten divorce successfully’ on it. Other than the huge banner, there were also some small signs with ‘Happy divorce, Amelie!’ written on them. When Amelie saw it, she was speechless. Her mouth was agape since she was dumbfounded by the sudden outcome. Before she could react, a bouquet of roses appeared in front of her, and a voice sounded, saying, “Will you be my girlfriend now, Amelie?” Hearing the person’s voice, Amelie looked at the spokesperson and saw a handsome face. Other than that, he was 5’9 feet tall and was built. The man definitely had the perfect body! Before Amelie could say anything, the man went down on one knee. “I can’t promise much, but I’ll assure you that from the moment we are together, I will cherish you. I will listen to your words and watch as you smile beautifully. I will trust you and be by your side whenever you need me. Most importantly, I will never ever give you the cold shoulder.” When Leo heard the man’s words, his face turned cold immediately.
