My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190

The reporters quickly surrounded Leo and bombarded him with questions.

“Since today is your engagement day, Mr. Alston, have you decided when the wedding will be?”

“Will Miss Clayton still be acting after the engagement, or will she quit the job? Have you guys talked about this?”

“I heard that Miss Clayton’s dress is handled by Mrs. Alston. A famous designer created the dress, and she even checked on the work progress. Does that mean Miss Clayton and Mrs. Alston are on good terms?”

When Leo saw the reporters, he gritted his teeth and wore a cold expression. Then, he snapped his head toward Elyse as he glared at her.

She ignored his gaze as she approached him with a smile. Then, she linked her arm with his and snuggled her head on his shoulder.

“You told me you will protect and respect me for the sake of Ellen,” she whispered to him. “Now, it’s time for you to show your respect to me.” A hint of provoke flashed across her eyes.

If Leony refuses to be engaged with me, I will force him to! Thinking about it, Elyse smiled brightly at the reporters.

Since they stood close together, the crowd, who was unaware of the truth, was sure they were a lovely couple when they saw her smile. At that moment, they raised their cameras and took pictures of them.

During the whole process, Leo had a cold and unnatural countenance.

Although the crowd felt it was a shame that they could not get a picture of him smiling, they did not mind since they knew he had a cold personality.

Despite Leo’s grimace, Elyse could feel that the arm she wrapped around was not as stiff as before, seemingly a sign that he had agreed to play along with her.

Initially, she was nervous. However, at that moment, she looked proud. I knew it. No matter how unwilling Leony is, he will never embarrass me in front of the public. Loyalty is his weakness and my tool to use against him. Today, I am going to shine with this opportunity! I don’t care what will happen next.

In recent times, she was doubted and criticized. Thus, now that she could be herself, she hung her head up high looking proud.

It was then that Leo’s phone buzzed. Then, he withdrew his occupied arm and grabbed his phone. It’s Amelie!

When Elyse saw the number, her heart sank. However, she quickly smiled again and thought, Amelie has always been up against me. It’s time to teach her a lesson. Since she chose to call Leony at this moment, I will let her know how blissful I am right now!

As she thought about it, she acted virtuous and said, “Hurry up and answer the phone, Leony.”

Many reporters were close to him and saw who was calling him. After many incidents, they knew that Amelie was his ex-wife. As such, many were excited to see what would unfold and nodded thoughtfully when they heard Elyse’s words.

Her words would make the crowd feel like she was a kind-hearted woman. On the other hand, it would also show that the feelings she and Leo had were strong enough to withstand Amelie’s call.

This was what Elyse had wanted; she was thrilled and felt like a genius who could manipulate others. She acted as if she was blessed and the woman Leo truly loved.

Hence, the reporters praised them. “You two are so in love with each other.”
