My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 Marry Her if It Upsets You So Much!

After that, the pair said nothing until the golf ball entered the last cup, where Owen and Elyse were waiting.

“Not bad!” Owen gave the two a thumbs-up.

Though Leo won the game, Amelie’s score wasn’t far off from his.

Meanwhile, Elyse jogged toward Leo after taking a subtle glance at Amelie. “Look at you. You’re drenched in sweat.”

She pulled a towel out to wipe his sweat, but he took it from her and wiped the sweat himself before she could even do anything.

“What are you standing there for? Hand Amelie a bottle of chilled water,” ordered Owen to his assistant behind him.

Leo’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat when he found Owen smiling amiably at Amelie. It surprised him that his ex-wife was popular with the gents.

First was Blake and Jamie, and now, it was Owen. All of them were extremely warm and enthusiastic toward her.

Meanwhile, Owen and Amelie had already walked out side by side. Since they had only bumped into each other, it naturally wasn’t necessary to chat at length.

On the other hand, Leo was still deep in his thoughts when someone held his arm.

“Leo, I had a pretty long chat with Mr. Steward just now. He’s rather amiable and not as aloof as we imagined him to be,” Elyse chirped. “I even told him about your performance over the last few years as well as your plan in detail. He seems to be very interested in it.”

She might not have explicitly said it, but it seemed like she was waiting for him to shower her with praises.

However, Leo only uttered a ‘thanks’ before striding away. He was never one to praise anyone, after all.

Meanwhile, Owen and Amelie, who were drinking the chilled water inattentively, walked side by side.

Though she had worn a sun hat, the sun was still shining pretty brightly, so sweat still gathered on her fair face. Even droplets of sweat were hanging on her lashes, and her eyes were glistening because of the sweat.

“It’s him, isn’t it?” Owen asked out of nowhere, leading Amelie to look at him with slightly furrowed brows.

“He’s the man you used to love but later left, isn’t he?” He rephrased his question.

“How did you know?!” Amelie’s bewilderment instantly turned into shock, and she couldn’t help recollecting closely. But after much thought, she still couldn’t figure out how she had given it away.

Owen said nothing. How could someone like him not be able to tell when he had experienced most things in life and had also been deeply hurt by someone he loved?!

Amelie figured it out very quickly as well, and she nodded with drooped eyelids. “It’s him.”

“Why still help him when you two have already divorced?” He gazed at her gravely while standing in front of his car.

At that, she smiled with pursed lips. “Actually, I’m not helping him. I owe someone a debt, and he happens to be that person’s collaborator.”

Owen nodded and said nothing more after that. Then, he entered the vehicle while Amelie bid him farewell right outside.

Lo and behold, Owen’s car had just left when another car pulled up, and out came Ashton and Toby.

As usual, Ashton’s gaze at Amelie was one of nothing but abhorrence, looking like he had spotted the most disgusting thing in the world.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten to pinch his nose as he walked in her direction. “What is the meaning of this? How can your golf course welcome just about any low-class people?!”

While he directed his words to the staff who welcomed him, it was a no-brainer that he was attacking Amelie.
