My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 101 Separate Amelie From Her Child

Leo pried open Elyse’s fingers one by one and pushed her hand away.

“You are not Big Eyes!” he growled.

Elyse stared at him with disbelief. “Leo…”

Did he find out that I replaced Amelie? Is this the end of me?

Elyse plopped to the ground and shuddered, unable to support herself anymore.

The warmth in Leo’s eyes had completely dissipated, leaving only a gloomy shade covering his eyes.

Looking at her pitiful face, he suppressed the distaste he had for her and spat, “Big Eyes wasn’t as evil

as you are. You are no longer worthy of this name! You are no longer whom you used to be!”

With that, he strode away.

“Elyse!”

Before long, Ashton came running into the ward.

Seeing Elyse throwing herself on the ground, he was extremely shocked as he hurried over to help her

up.

“Did Leo push you? Since when he became so ruthless?!” Ashton was currently fuming with anger, and

his chest was burning as he declared, “I’ll go find him!”

“Don’t—”

Elyse tugged at the hem of his shirt and muttered while shaking her head weakly.

However, she managed to heave a sigh of relief, and a hint of color quickly returned to her cheeks.

Leo still wasn’t aware of the secret, so she was safe.

She still had a place in his heart.

The more she knew why Leo pampered and indulged her before, the more confident she was in the

importance of the identity ‘Big Eyes.’

It was definitely a privilege token!

She didn’t bother hating the identity that she impersonated. Instead, she was glad that she discovered

it a long time ago and had been using it to avoid getting into trouble again and again.

“Help me get up,” she ordered.

Ashton quickly helped her up and put her on the bed.

Elyse leaned against the back of the bed and closed her eyes.

When Ashton’s gaze fell on her delicate little face, he felt distressed. “Why did Leo treat you like that?”

Elyse didn’t want to talk about what happened as it would be better if fewer people knew about the

secret about ‘Big Eyes.’

“It’s nothing. Just a misunderstanding between us.” She deliberately played it off.

Ashton didn’t give up on badgering her, “What kind of misunderstanding made him treat you this way?

He wasn’t like this before!”

Previously, Leo had always treated Elyse like a precious baby.

“Amelie must have done something! She wants to get Leo back! In that case, we must ensure that that

child’s identity will not be exposed. It is best to keep Leo in the dark for the rest of his life! Yes, I shall

do that right away.”

After saying that, he strode out of the ward.

“Wait!” Elyse called out to him.

Her eyes sparkled, and a sharp light flickered in her eyes.

“No. Don’t hide it,” she uttered.

Under her eyelashes, her dark orbs turned cold as she spoke. “We don’t have to hide it. In fact, we will

tell Leo that the child is his!”

Ashton looked at Elyse in disbelief and worry quickly spread across his face. “Elyse, I know you must

be overwhelmed, but even so, you have to think for yourself. Once Leo knows about it—”

“Once he knows, he will want that child back!” Elyse answered him very quickly without any trace of

concern on her face.

Ashton was the only one who was restless.

“That child cannot return to the Alston Family!”

“She has to!” Elyse insisted stubbornly.

There was no longer a hint of sadness in her eyes. All that was present was resentment. She clutched

the hem of her shirt and grunted, “I want Amelie Dillon to pay the price!”

Since the recording in Leo’s phone was a private conversation between her and Amelie, she assumed

that it was Amelie who recorded it and sent it to him.

The reason Amelie deliberately hid Bria’s identity as Leo’s child was that she was afraid he would

snatch the child since there was no hope for her to get back together with him.

Amelie being separated from her child was what Elyse wanted!

“Just do as I say. There’s a reason I made my decision,” she ordered coldly.

Ashton was still concerned. “If Leo takes that child back, Amelie will be involved with him for the rest of

his life. Have you ever thought about it? It won’t be fair or good for you!”

“So what?”

As long as she could torment Amelie, she cared about nothing else!

Seeing how determined she was, Ashton was at a loss for words. With a sigh, he left.

Elyse sat on the bed for a while.

She knew Ashton might not do as she said.

He was slow and was unable to read her mind.

Anyway, she could do it herself.

After resting for a while, she dialed a number. “Do me a favor.”

…

When Leo returned to Alston Residence, Jodie was stomping her feet in front of Melissa.

Melissa’s elegant, dignified, and noble face was also stained with obvious emotions.

Leo rubbed his brows, unable to resist the weariness in his eyes.

Since he had nothing to say to Melissa, he walked up the stairs silently.

“Leony, you’re finally back!” Jodie skipped over and stopped in front of him with her arms outstretched.

She then exclaimed anxiously, “Oh my gosh! Did you know how embarrassed I was today?”

“Don’t start making a fuss.” Leo deadpanned.

“I’m not making a fuss!” Jodie was highly dissatisfied. “It’s all because of you! Bria obviously is our

family’s descendant, but why did you let her follow Amelie? Do you know what everyone is saying

about us? They are calling us stingy for letting someone else raise the kid, and they call you a kept

man!”

As a daughter of a wealthy family, Jodie was unable to accept the criticism and humiliation.

Melissa also walked over slowly and added, “I told you that we should’ve raised Bria by ourselves. If

you had listened to me, you wouldn’t have become a laughingstock! What doesn’t our family have?

Don’t talk about raising one, even if you have ten children, we can afford to raise them all.”

Her tone was filled with dissatisfaction toward her son.

“Exactly!” Jodie agreed with her mother. “What happens now? Everyone thinks Amelie is seeing

Starlight Media’s boss now, and she is now in the limelight.”

At the mention of Starlight Media’s boss, Leo couldn’t help knitting his brows.

He didn’t forget those photos.

In the photos, the man and Bria looked exactly alike!

As for the DNA test, it was no doubt Bria was his daughter.

Of course, he didn’t mention this to Jodie and Melissa, so they naturally didn’t know about it.

He didn’t want to mention the matter of cheating in marriage, so he just said indifferently, “Let them say

whatever they want to say.”

“No way,” Melissa objected. “We are a dignified family. How could we allow people to see us in that

way?”

“Exactly. How am I supposed to meet people from now on?” Jodie and Melissa were adamant about

their stance.

“Back when you were divorced, you didn’t make arrangements for Bria’s guardianship. It’s reasonable

for you to want her back now. Here’s a document. Bring this to Amelie and demand for her daughter.

She wouldn’t be able to reject you!” Melissa took out a piece of paper and handed it to Leo.

Leo lowered his head, saw the word ‘DNA test’ written on the piece of paper, and looked at Melissa in

puzzlement.

Melissa understood his reaction and explained, “This is a DNA test Jodie purposely ran for you. It’s a

fact that Bria belongs to our family, and Amelie won’t be able to change it! If she wants to file a lawsuit,

we will fight her! Let’s see who the final winner will be!”

After her son divorced Amelie, Melissa had always felt discomfort.

She then raised her elegant and thin brows, looking dominant.

Leo’s expression suddenly changed as he quickly snatched the document.

He read the whole paper as quickly as he could, and he found that in the last line, it was proven that

Bria was his child!

“A-Are you sure about this?” He recalled Amelie doing the DNA test right in front of him!

“Of course.” Jodie confidently said, “I especially sent someone to collect the specimens in Bria’s school

and also from your toothbrush!”

It turned out that Amelie had deceived him!

Leo clenched his fists tightly, crumpling the paper in his hand.
