My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Don’t Expect to Escape Easily

“Leo, Leo! Wake up, wake up!”

When Leo opened his eyes in a daze, he felt a hand pat his face.

He reached out to hold that hand instinctively.

A severe headache had been kicking in as a result of intoxication, and he couldn’t see clearly whose hand it was.

As he was squeezing that hand, his thoughts stayed elsewhere.

His effort in getting up failed as he plopped to the ground due to a lack of strength.

The owner of the hand fell into Leo’s embrace after being pulled down by his weight.

Elyse bumped her head. It hurt. She tried to get up.

Halfway through her struggle, she noticed Leo looking at her with a meaningful gaze. Subconsciously, her cheeks colored.

“Leo.” Her voice turned softer with a touch of charm. It was so delicate that it could easily integrate with water.

Elyse originally came to pick Leo up after answering Toby’s call, but now that she saw Leo looking at her like this and didn’t respond when she called him, she suddenly came up with a bold idea.

In fact, they had never crossed the boundary. They had never had sex. She wondered if their relationship would improve if she moved past this stage.

He might even treat her like he used to before, like a precious treasure in his palm.

At that thought, Elyse grinned from ear to ear and started leaning into his lips and blowing some air.

She waited for him to take initiative.

As expected, Leo embraced her with both arms and raised the corners of his lips slightly. “Amelie.”

What?!

As if being splashed with a bucket of cold water, Elyse felt her emotions plunge to an all-time low from her high. Widening her eyes in shock, she shuddered.

What did Leo just call her?

Amelie?

She propped herself up and looked at him with a complex expression.

Sparkles of tears started rolling in her eyes.

On the contrary, Leo’s lowered lashes couldn’t hide the affection that coated his eyes as well as the desire he presented on his face.

His eyes were on her, but he called out another woman’s name.

“Leo, look at me. Who am I?” Her voice trembled as she thought she must have heard it wrongly.

“Amelie Dillon.”

Leo uttered that name again, but this time with his eyes closed.

His arms that were previously holding her flopped to the ground.

Elyse felt as if being dragged to the coldest part of the earth when he called her Amelie. Her fingers felt so cold they turned numb, and her heart even colder long ago. Any slight movement could cause a sharp tearing pain!

Humiliation crept up her mind as she clenched her teeth.

When she turned around, Toby was standing at the corner of the room, looking at her with a meaningful gaze.

Despite his calm gaze, she could tell he was looking at her with contempt.

Elyse suddenly understood the situation and stared at him fiercely. “You did it on purpose!”

“If you hadn’t sent someone to inform Jodie and Mrs. Alston that Amelie’s child belonged to the Alston Family and allowed them to force Leo to snatch the child, Leo wouldn’t have met Amelie, probably wouldn’t have gotten drunk, and wouldn’t be calling her name now,” Toby mumbled. His seemingly casual gaze held a full bucket of wisdom.

Elyse’s body shook violently, and her face turned green!

She glanced at Leo, but she didn’t have the guts to admit it after all.

Leo was drunk, not dead. If he heard what Toby just said, she would be done for.

Curling his lips upward, Toby didn’t say another word and left the room.

Although he didn’t show much emotion, Elyse read it as she was looked down upon.
