My Sugar and Your Spice Chapter 216

Leo massaged his forehead, upset. “You sought her out?” he interrogated.

Melissa caught his tone, and she was furious. She almost wanted to stuff more Heparin into her mouth.

But before she could say anything, Leo warned, “I told you to never seek her out.”

Melissa gripped her bag tightly and held down her frustration. Then she tried to advise her son. “You think I wanted to do that? I was just worried about you. You’re not getting any younger. You should start thinking about settling down. Leo, listen to me. Just get along with Carol, will you?”

“That’s the conclusion you came to? After you saw Amelie?” A small smile tugged at Leo’s lips. I knew it. My own mother can never do anything good for me.

“What do you mean? Carol is a lot better than Amelie. A lot better educated too. She’s the best choice for you.” All Amelie has is her looks.

Leo kept quiet again. He was a man of few words, especially to his mother. But he wasn’t like that. He used to trust and respect his mother. No matter what she asked of him, he would do his best.

Yet at some point, all of that changed, and both of them knew when that happened. It happened ever since his mother abandoned the blind young Leo in Quinn Town and never came to see him. Ever since she pretended to be a loving mother to his adopted brother.

looked at the ring. It was a simple, almost perfunctory ring. He was in a foul mood when he was forced to marry Amelie. Weddings or ceremonies were not on his mind. And he only bought this ring just to go through the motions. He didn’t care about the price or style. The retail assistant also asked him

she saw the ring. Even when the retail assistants were mocking her due to Leo’s lack of love for her, she didn’t mind. That memory came flooding back, and it pained Leo’s heart. He only wore this ring to tell all the women out there that he was married, so they would back off.

at Leo in silence. Her son had stopped moving, his grip on the coffee cup tightening. Good, that worked. Melissa heaved a sigh of relief. “Leo, we’re a famous family here. You don’t want the public to say you can’t let go of your ex-wife. Besides, Amelie is a useless bum. She’s just playing hard to get so you can get back together with her. So,

Melissa still thought that was just her ploy. She pushed her hair back arrogantly. “She refused my six hundred grand, and I’ll make her regret it. When she comes to me again, I won’t give her a single cent, and I’m taking Bria’s custody.” She was still annoyed
