My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 346 Get Her Attention

Leo didn't actually make plans with Michelle. Melissa called him a few days ago, saying she was in

town and wanted to grab a meal with him. Even though he wasn't close to his mother, he agreed to this

basic request and came over.

After arriving at the location but being unable to locate his mother, he called her. However, nobody

answered the phone; instead, someone grabbed his arm. He initially thought it was Melissa, but before

he could confirm, many things had happened.

At that moment, Michelle's impulsive actions made his daughter sad, and Amelie's attitude toward him

became colder. Due to that, Leo was beyond furious. His usually serious face was tight and tense.

Moreover, he didn't have time to argue with her and went to chase after his daughter and Amelie.

Since Michelle had embarrassed herself in front of everyone, her perfect expression was about to slip.

She soon caught up with Leo and stood in front of him. "Leo, how can you say we're not familiar with

each other? Mrs. Alston invited me to come and have a blind date with you."

"My mom?" Her words finally made Leo understand. So, my mom's intention is not to have a meal with

me, but she has duped me into a blind date.

"Ha!" He was already disappointed with Melissa. With her actions now, he didn't know what else to say

except to be sarcastic. "Since my mom invited you for a blind date, date her then." He spat out these

words coldly and walked away, passing by Michelle.

On the other hand, she clenched her fists in frustration. How could Leo treat me like this? How could he

embarrass me in front of the staff and guests? My education and family background are even better

than Amelie's. Is he blind? He only has eyes for her! Unlike other women who would hate their love

rivals when pursuing men, she hated him at that moment! She wished she could tear down every bit of

his arrogance and humiliate him by stepping on him under her feet!

"It's merely a small matter. No need to be angry." Someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and spoke.

Nevertheless, she instinctively thought it was a staff member, so she forcefully pushed the hand away,

saying, "Aren't you supposed to be working?"

Still, the hand didn't move. Consequently, Michelle stared with wide eyes, and one could tell she was

pretty angry with her fiery gaze.

When she turned to look, she realized that the person in front of her was not a waiter or a diner but

rather a complete stranger. The man had a tall and straight frame, and his facial features were

considered top-notch. He looked at her with a half-smile.

Michelle was taken aback and said, "Hello—"

"I know you're angry and want to give that man who ignored you a taste of his own medicine. I also

know you can't do anything about it, so you can only think about it in your head," the man said,

maintaining his half-smile as if he could see through everything. He had light blue eyes like two

bottomless whirlpools, slowly sucking people in.

Suddenly, she felt dizzy, so she rubbed her temples. Nonetheless, she heard the man utter, "I can help

you."

…

The following day, Amelie brought Bria to learn ice skating again. When they arrived, they saw a figure

in the rink. The man was tall and conspicuous, slowly gliding while holding onto the railing. Although he

wasn't fast, he was steady.

"Is that man also here to learn?" Bria asked, pointing at the man.

Amelie was about to respond when the man turned around, revealing a familiar face. It's Leo! She

thought he wouldn't show up after embarrassing himself so much the other day. Not only did he show

up, but he also made noticeable progress.

At that moment, she was stunned and couldn't help but look at Bria.

Nevertheless, Bria also recognized him but turned her face away coldly. She hadn't forgotten about her

father hooking up with Michelle the other day. In addition, she didn't want to associate with him

anymore. "Mommy, let's skate over there." Then, she pointed to the farthest place from him.

On the other hand, Amelie looked at Bria worriedly, wanting to comfort her, but she didn't know what to

say. In the end, Amelie could only nod and say, "Okay."

Afterward, they arrived at their spot and changed their shoes.

Soon, Leo skated over. "Good morning," he greeted them quietly.

Bria pretended not to hear and pulled her mother into the rink. Then, Amelie politely nodded at him and

followed Bria. She wouldn't mind Leo being with Michelle if she didn't have to consider her daughter's

feelings. That way, she wouldn't have to deal with him.

Later, Amelie took Bria's hand and did warm-up exercises before teaching her simple skating moves.

Leo followed them closely, learning what she taught too. At first, he stayed some distance away from

them.

Later, he slowly approached and stood in line with his daughter. When Bria practiced, he practiced too.

Bria was slim and agile and had talent in the sport, so she practiced perfectly. On the other hand, he

was noticeably clumsier but tried his hardest.

"Bria, what you saw last night wasn't what you thought it was," he said as he practiced.

"I was set up on a blind date by your grandmother, but I had no idea about it." He explained the whole

thing to her from beginning to end. Although he only spoke to Bria, his voice was loud enough for

Amelie to hear.

However, Bria didn't say anything, but she looked in her mother's direction. Although she might seem

young, she was perceptive and aware of everything around her. Even though she knew her father was

talking to her mother, she felt much better inside. While practicing, Bria intentionally became clumsier

and fell to the ground. Nonetheless, Leo was doing worse than his daughter before, but when she

intentionally did poorly, he became comparatively better.

"Yay, Daddy is awesome!" She clapped her hands excitedly while Amelie remained silent.

Soon, he lifted Bria, who had fallen, and twirled her in his arms. It was a pretty cool move. Then, she

cheered loudly, giving him a round of applause.

With a hint of pride, he looked at Amelie like a puppy trying to please its owner. He purposely hid his

skills, hoping to impress and catch her attention.

"Daddy, did you practice for a long time again yesterday?" Bria asked, unintentionally lifting Leo's

sleeve and revealing the many bruises on his elbow.

Hearing that, he affectionately touched her forehead with his and replied, "Yeah."

"Daddy is really amazing!" She gave him another thumbs-up.

Meanwhile, Amelie ignored their interaction, leaving Bria's praise unanswered. However, he felt slightly

disappointed as he met his daughter's gaze.

Seeing that, Bria had no choice but to work harder to get her mother's attention. "Daddy, are you in

pain with so many injuries?" she asked.

"A little bit," Leo replied, pleased with his daughter's quick reaction.

"Then, you need medicine," she spoke loudly.

Amelie still didn't react to their conversation.

Afterward, Bria had to leave Leo's embrace and skate toward Amelie, showing her the knee she had

bruised yesterday. "Mommy, my leg still hurts, and I need medicine," she said.

Amelie naturally didn't refuse Bria's request, so she quickly took medicine from her bag to apply to her

daughter's injury.

At that moment, he felt envious and looked at his daughter. His injuries were worse and more painful

than Bria's, and he also wanted medicine. So, he leaned over and revealed the bruises on his arm

while checking Bria's injury.
