My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Bria simply shrugged before scratching the back of her head. The young girl looked like she didn’t know how she had bumped into her mother either. “Let me carry her,” Amelie said as she glanced at Leo. Leo handed the child over without saying much. Then, he bent down to pick Amelie’s phone up for her. “Here you go,” he said.

Amelie nodded in appreciation before she took the phone from him and chucked it into her handbag. Soon enough, the bus arrived at their destination.

Amelie saw the rocks flying in Bria’s direction, and she instinctively threw herself over Bria. Amelie could hear the rocks knocking against one
