My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 144

Brianna’s bright face instantly turned gloomy, and her small body moved aside, drawing a distance between her and Leo as caution appeared on her face again.

“I’m not going back with you!” She shook her head vigorously, and all traces of familiarity from earlier had evaporated.

Leo already found out from Amelie about Brianna’s dislike for the Alstons, so he wasn’t surprised by her reaction, but he couldn’t help asking, “What if Mommy comes back together with us?”

“We’re going back together?” Brianna repeated, tilting her head as though she was weighing this question seriously.

On the other hand, Leo had no idea why such a question would stumble out of his mouth, but instead of regretting it, the image of the three of them being together as a family appeared in his mind.

“I’m still not going back!” Half a minute later, she shook her head again.

This time, he was struck by surprise.

Gulping, Brianna then answered seriously, “I don’t want to return, and I don’t want Mommy to return, either, because Grandma and Aunt Jodie don’t like us. I don’t want Mommy to be worried every day because I’m unhappy, and I don’t want her to be unhappy, but it’s great outside. Grandpa treats me very well and we’re all very happy together. Whatever it is, I’m not going back to that home anymore. That place is terrifying!”

From the bottom of her heart, she disliked the environment at the Alstons. That oppressive environment was akin to hell for a child.

After she said her piece, she ran back to school without waiting for Leo to say anymore and shut the door of the kindergarten with a bang.

For a few minutes, Leo stood in the same spot until he suddenly heard a car honking.

Turning back, he saw Amelie jumping out of the car in a hurry and marching toward him in a huff.

Fury was written all over her face. “Leo Alston, what are you doing here? Be a man of your word. You shouldn’t fight over Bria with me anymore since you’ve already lost!”
