My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 310 Do You Think Any Normal Men Would Be Willing to Leave?

Amelie had an innocent and beautiful face. With her shocked eyes and damped hair, it felt as though

she was a mermaid that had just entered the human realm.

As Leo looked at her, he couldn't help but trail down his gaze. The towel barely covered her private

parts, and her shoulders and collarbone were shown alongside her pair of beautiful legs. Amelie

rubbed her legs together due to nervousness, and Leo felt tempted.

Although she wasn't naked, he still felt like she had bared it all.

Looking at her, Leo pursed his lips into a thin line.

In the meantime, Amelie was looking at him too. His heated gaze was obvious, and he made no move

to avert his gaze. Moreover, he was gulping, which made his Adam's apple bob while hormones filled

the air. At that moment, Amelie wondered if it was nighttime, and she was too tired to feel like prey

being eyed by a predator.

"Before I entered the room, I thought about what they would surprise me. I'm quite surprised that it's

you." Leo's deep and husky voice sounded as he teased her. As he spoke, he stuffed his hands in his

pockets and slowly made his way toward her.

Initially, Amelie was just getting the hairdryer. However, when she saw him approaching her, she was

nervous and accidentally knocked it over.

"Watch out!" Leo was quick to react. He quickly rushed toward her and pulled her into his embrace,

letting the hairdryer hit his back.

Thud!

It produced a loud sound.

When Amelie heard the noise, she couldn't help but look at the hairdryer lying on the floor. Then, she

gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, thinking this was absurd. Her body was pressed close to him,

and she only wore a towel.

At that moment, she could feel the warmth of his hands clasping her shoulders as his heartbeat

thumped against her back. It was pounding wildly, and Amelie could feel her heart following his rhythm.

Leo was breathing heavily against her neck, and she could feel her skin tingling at the touch of his hot

breaths.

Amelie never expected this to happen to her. When she saw such a scene on television in the past, she

found it sensual. However, embarrassment was only what she felt when it was her turn.

"Please leave, Mr. Alston," she said coldly. She felt that Leo must have done it on purpose. After all,

there were many ways for him to help her dodge the hairdryer.

When Leo heard her words, he took a deep breath and chuckled. "The woman I love is standing right

before me while naked. Do you think any normal men would be willing to leave?"

Hearing his words, Amelie was speechless and thought, Where is the stern and reserved Leo? Has he

been swapped by someone else? I never knew that he could be a flirt. Still, she was not one to back

down either.

At that moment, she smirked coldly and looked at him. "What a funny joke, Mr. Alston. During my four

years at your house, I've never seen you acting normal before."

Initially, Leo was just stating facts rather than teasing her. However, her words raised his desire to win.

After all, no man would be fond of a woman calling him abnormal.

"If that's the case, why don't you try it yourself?" With that, he took a step backward and hooked

Amelie's towel. As soon as his fingers touched the towel, it dropped on its own.

This was an outcome none of them had expected.

Amelie had long released her grip on the towel when Leo hugged her, and she didn't expect him to

back away so quickly. Meanwhile, Leo didn't expect that she would release her grip on the towel.

After being startled momentarily, Leo quickly turned around.

Amelie thought she would be the most embarrassed person in the room, and she even wondered what

sort of shameless words Leo would say. However…

As Amelie thought about it, she quickly picked up the towel and wrapped herself up again. When she

looked at Leo, she saw his ears slowly turning from pink to red.

Is he shy? Well, that's a first. I wonder if the press will write an article about this if they know about it.

After all, it is a rare sight. Still, didn't he date Elyse for years? With how close they were, shouldn't he

be accustomed to it?

While Amelie was in thought, the washing machine started to beep, signaling that her clothes were

done. Immediately, she went into the bathroom and put on her clothes. When she walked out, Leo was

still standing there while holding the hairdryer, which was the cause of everything.

At that moment, their eyes met.

Leo had returned to his stern and reserved self. Although he tried to soften his expression, it wasn't

obvious due to his usual cold expression. He walked toward her and pulled her toward him. Before she

knew what he was doing, his fingers were buried into her hair.

Swoosh!

The warm air brushed against her scalp alongside a buzzing noise from the hairdryer.

She was surprised that there were hairdryers that didn't require a plug-in.

Since she was not used to this interaction, she tried to back away. However, Leo gripped her shoulder

and stopped her from moving. "If you don't dry your hair, your clothes will be wet. Then, you will feel

uncomfortable in it."

Huh… In those cliché movies, shouldn't he be saying that I will catch a cold if I sleep without drying my

hair? Amelie's mind was a mess, and her gaze landed on the mirror before her.

In the mirror, she saw him holding her long hair with one hand while the other controlled the hairdryer.

His eyes were lowered, and he looked handsome. Beneath him was a petite frame.

Every time he hooked her hair with his fingers, he pursed his lips and did it carefully. He was focused

and gentle.

Damn, it is hard to resist a man who has a cold personality to be focused on something. After all, it is

sexy. If he treated me in such a way when we first met, I would've been thrilled. However, even though

he's still good-looking, I don't feel my heart racing anymore. Amelie sighed inwardly.

Once he finished drying her hair, she quickly backed away and kept a distance between them.

Leo ignored her actions as he shut the hairdryer off and put it back in its original place. "I didn't know

you were here. I was closing a deal with someone else and was thinking of using this room as a

meeting room," he said.

"The receptionist must have made a mistake. It's fine, though. You can keep the room. I'm leaving."

She nodded and turned around, ready to leave.

"You don't have to go. I've told Eugene to rebook a room," said Leo.

Hearing his words, Amelie didn't say anything more. Although she stood there and said nothing, she

told him to leave with her looks.

It was so obvious that Leo could tell what she was indicating. Then, he nodded and put his hand on the

doorknob. However, he didn't leave immediately but stood by the door. "I didn't fall in love with you

because you are Big Eyes. I fell in love with you long before that happened. I took part in the show just

for you."

What does he mean by that? Amelie couldn't comprehend his words and was startled. When she came

back to her senses, Leo had already left.

…

At midnight, Amelie woke up in excruciating pain.
