My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

The person had a lovely figure and a refined makeover, making her look stunning.

“Leo,” Elyse called him softly, and her eyes were filled with adoration.

Looking at her, Leo hummed in response.

“Are you leaving?’ As Elyse spoke, she stretched her neck and looked inside. “Why don’t you stay a little longer? It’s a rare moment that everyone is here.”

“No thanks. You guys have fun,” replied Leo with a lack of interest.

Leo’s words prompted a wave of disappointment within her. The poor lady could only curl her fingers up silently while her sadness consumed her.

Behind her, Ashton told Leo off in dissatisfaction. “Hey! Quit playing around, Leo. Princess Elyse rarely had some time to spare for us. Don’t ruin her mood.” In Ashton’s heart, Elyse was like a princess. Hence, he gave her such a nickname.

Hearing his words, Elyse caught up to it and commented pitifully, “That’s right. I’m exhausted from running on several notices.” As she spoke, she massaged her shoulder, looking as if she was worn out.

If it were before, Leo would have cared for her and put her as his first priority, no matter how important the matter he was dealing with was. However, at this moment, he was just looking at her with a faint expression and didn’t react to her words.

Seeing his reaction, Elyse was confused. After all, Leo had announced to everyone before that he would protect her for a lifetime. For the past few days, she thought he would contact her like he used to and care for her like he was her protector. However, there was no sight of him, and he didn’t even take the initiative to call her! Just as Elyse was relieved that he and Amelie had divorced and felt that her good days were here, Leo’s reaction made her panic.

While she was in thought, Leo didn’t respond to her words nor walk back. Instead, he swiftly walked past her from the side.

When Elyse saw that he was leaving, her heart sank, and she almost burst into tears. She quickly chased after him in the corridor and hugged him tightly from behind while pressing her head against his back. “I miss you, Leo!” she cried out.

Hearing her words, Leo stopped walking, and his back was stiff. However, he still didn’t turn around.

Noticing this, Elyse hugged him even tighter. “For the past four years that I had left you, there isn’t a moment that I have not missed you dearly, Leo. C-Can we start over again?”

It was Ashton who sent her a text and told her that Leo was at Prix Bar.

Some things won’t have an ending if it isn’t said aloud.

Elyse was a person who thought highly of herself, especially when she was spoiled by Leo when she was in her teen years and had Ashton, who would do anything for her. This made her feel superior to the point that she would look down on anyone. Hence, she didn’t want to be the one to reveal it, even if Ashton had reminded her However, she was frightened by Leo’s cold attitude toward her. Although Leo had divorced, she realized she would still lose him if she didn’t take the initiative.

Thinking about it, Elyse started weeping out of nowhere. “Even if you’re mad, I have already had my punishment of losing you for four years.”

When Elyse was faced with strangers, she was beautiful and looked divine. However, now that she was facing Leo, she looked miserable and was crying. Her cries were soft, and one would protect her at all costs if they heard them.

However, Leo struggled out of her grip and looked at her. Just as Elyse’s eyes lit up, and she thought he would

embrace her, he gently put his hand on her shoulder.

“If you have some spare time, why don’t you accompany me to a place tomorrow?” He looked toward the sobbing lady.

Looking at him, Elyse felt her heart shattered into pieces. He didn’t accept my proposal immediately! She had ignored her dignity and suppressed her arrogance just to ask for his forgiveness, yet he didn’t accept it.

Since Elyse remembered that Leo used to cherish her, she thought that he would be excited and accept her proposal if she did it.

The huge difference between her imagination and reality had dumbstruck her to the point that tears had stopped falling as she looked at him in shock.
