My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 263

"Mr. Alston." Blake stood up and moved to stand in front of Amelie. His gaze was calm as he stared at Leo.

Blake was a young, lanky man. His fair face made him look rather meek and demure. Standing next to Leo, it was clear he looked much weaker. His presence was not nearly as powerfill or dominant as Leo's.

Even so, his face was blank and calm, as if he had stepped out of a painting. There was a flash of resolute determination in his eyes. He would do liis best to protect the people he wished to protect. Blake's actions were like a thorn in Leo's side. Not only did they make Leo's eyes bum, but they also made him feel like his heart had been stabbed.

Worried that Blake would be hurt, Amelie dragged him back to stand behind her while she told Leo. "Jodie fell on her own. You should ask her if you want to know why she fell. Logically speaking, I was walking in front. Even if someone were to fall off the side of the cliff, it should have been me. However, I sensed someone trying to push me, so I dodged."

She had not planned to explain the situation, but it would not be good if Blake was hurt.

"Additionally, I was not strong enough to rescue her alone. I had to knock her out and rest her head on some rope to avoid letting her drown."

Leo could have remained calm if Amelie did not tell him the second half of her explanation. Wlien she did so, his face went cold as a terrifying aura radiated from him. Then, his hand clenched into fists.

He could have deduced certain tilings even if she had remained silent. She is so distant and defiant that she doesn't even bother to defend herself when Jodie makes a false accusation. Now, she is explaining everything in straightforward statements. Does she believe I am oblivious that she is acting out of concern for Blake's safety?

Meanwhile, Blake would never have allowed Amelie to protect him, so he stepped forward to attempt to shield her.

It was clear to Leo that their actions were blatant public displays of affection.

Soon, his expression grew even colder, and he abruptly walked past them without uttering a word. Then, he kneeled down before the boulder Amelie was sitting on.

Amelie and Blake silently stared at him in shock. They exchanged glances, trying to decipher his intentions, before drawing nearer to see what Leo was doing. Then, they watched as his slender fingers dug through the gravel at the boulder's base before reaching underneath the rock.
