My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375 It’s Not Good To Hold It In, Leo

Leo didn't respond and merely flicked off the inexistent lint on his pants.

Chandler, who was ignored, looked at him pitifully with teary eyes. "I know you think I'm back to get a share of the inheritance. But I know my position. I was never an Alston. So, I never dared to imagine such a thing."

He raised his hand. "I swear on my life that if I coveted even a penny of the Alston Family, I'd suffer in hell."

Only then did Leo turn his head to look at Chandler. However, he still stayed silent, but the fierce glint in his eyes was unmistakable.

Chandler's heartbeat furiously as he saw the knowing look in Leo's eyes. It was as if Leo knew everything.

How could that be? Chandler had been cautious to hide his true thoughts. And it was true that none of them were about inheritance.

"L-Leo, why are you looking at me like that?" he stuttered as though the cat got his tongue.

Finally, after what seemed like a decade, Leo averted his gaze away, but he still didn't deign to give him a response.

He leaned forward and carried the baby, who was sitting by his leg, before standing up and walking away from Chandler. "Let's cut the cake."

The cake-cutting ceremony went by without problems with Leila's help.

"This is for you, Mr. Alston." Leila passed him a slice of cake.

Leo accepted the plate and took a spoonful but didn't eat it. Instead, he put the spoon into the baby's mouth.

The little guy had his mouth wide open, and the spoon went in. But, he impatiently chomped down, so the spoon was stuck in his mouth. Leo wasn't afraid of the mess and gently nudged the spoon out before continuing to feed him.

Leila watched as Leo fed the child with his long slender fingers holding the spoon. Although he was doing something so down to earth, he still looked as noble as ever.

"Miss Potts, a new baby will be delivered in a couple of months. Please prepare the necessary items for the newborn," Leo ordered as he fed the child.

Leila replied with a heavy heart, "Why don't we bring the baby's mother over as well? They need to live too." She couldn't bear to see Leo continue to take only the child and not their mother.

"The children need a mother too. It's not enough to have just us nannies. We can never compare to their mothers," Leila spoke up.

Usually, she was afraid of speaking up to Leo. However, she pitied the children and didn't want Leo to continue his philanderer ways.

"Children need both their father and mother," she dropped the last bomb, and her whole body tensed up, afraid of what was to come.

She knew she had crossed the line. However, it was human nature to think of the positive sides of things, especially since she watched Leo growing up.

Nonetheless, Leo didn't reply and took a tissue to wipe the baby's mouth. "Don't give them so many sweets."

She knew her advice fell on deaf ears seeing his response and could only shake her head in disappointment and sigh inwardly.

Then, she acknowledged his order and told the other nannies to stop feeding the other children cake.

Unfortunately, the greedy babies clearly wanted more, and all cried ceaselessly, wanting to get their hands on the cake.

Immediately, a teddy bear was stuffed into the baby's arms. It was so huge that he almost couldn't hug it.

The baby felt the softness of the teddy bear as he snuggled his face into it and smiled with satisfaction.

Chandler smiled heartily when he caught a glimpse of the joy on the child's face. So, he rushed to pass out the plush toys to the rest of the children.

Leo, who was wiping the cake that the baby had smothered on his shirt and fingers, was stunned when he looked up to see the plush toys in the children's arms.
