My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 357

Chapter 357 We're Square Now

There was a car that had been parked nearby for about a month.

Amelie's apartment wasn't on a high floor.

Hence, she could see the car whenever she looked down.

As the car was quite a distance away, she didn't think about checking out whom it belonged to.

It always arrived in the wee hours, only to leave at dawn.

Furthermore, there were always a lot of cigarette butts left at the spot where the car was parked.

Did the car still come despite the cold last night? Why didn't the owner return to his home? Why did he park his car here? Also, what makes him smoke so much? Amelie had many doubts regarding the car.

Just as she was deep in thought, she heard someone calling her.

"Miss Dillon." She raised her head and saw Eugene standing in front of her, dressed in a thick coat.

"Mr.Cornelius?"

Amelie was surprised to see him here.

Ever since Leo began dating Michelle, he had never lanked far Amelie She, too, had never been in contact with anyone related to him.

Eugene casually kicked the snow on the ground as he said, "I'm here to seek your assistance, Miss Dillon."

"My assistance?"

"Yes."

Eugene then hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to say, "Mr.Alston discovered that you were the one who donated your cornea to him, and he thinks that he has wronged you.As a result, he has been working endlessly as of late, and he hasn't returned home.I sent someone to follow him, and I discovered that he would drive his car here and spend the entire night beneath your apartment."

Amelie was surprised by what she heard as she turned around to look at the black patch of ground among the snowy white snow.

Leo was the one who came here every night to park his car, huh? "He'll work himself to death if this continues.You're the only one who can help him right now, Miss Dillon"

Amelic, on the other hand, went into a long trance before realizing what Eugene meant.Is this why he has stopped bothering me? Windy City International was hosting a grand banquet today.

The granddaughter of a well-known figure in the city, Louis Harvey, would be getting engaged here.

Louis was a frequent collaborator with Starlight Media and one of its most important clients.

IIence, Julia attended the engagement party in a bright red off-the-shoulder gown, and she brought Amelie along as well.

"Why do you confine yourself to your home every day? Come out and feast your eyes on some hot men!" Julia said as she walked, twisting her waist.

Her slim-fit gown did not hide her hot and impatient temper at all.

Amelie, on the other hand, was wearing a white muslin gown.

Her hem, while not overly eye-catching, accentuated her good figure perfectly.

Two of them, one in white and the other in red, were dressed according to their personalities; one was a hot, sexy lady and the other more elegant and fairy-like.

When they both entered the hall, countless eyes were drawn to them.

Amelie, however, shook her head speechlessly.

"You're hopeless, Julia"

Two of them then walked to the prominent figure and greeted, "Congratulations, Mr.Harvey!"

Louis exchanged pleasantries with Julia smilingly.

Amelie was content to stay out of their conversation and simply stood silently next to Julia after greeting Louis.

Julia, on the other hand, was buttering Louis up so much that he couldn't stop laughing, which surprised both his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

"Hello, Mr.Harvey," a woman's voice resonated while they were happily chit-chatting.

Amelie had been laughing patronizingly with them all this while, her head lowered.

However, she found the woman's voice familiar, and when she raised her head, she saw Michelle.

Michelle was dressed in a gown that was similar to Bella's in color and style, with the only difference being the length.

Michelle approached Louis while holding Leo's arm and smiling sweetly.

"Mr.Harvey"

Leo greeted Louis as well, his voice low.

I woman's voice familiar, and when she raised her head, she saw Michelle.

Michelle was dressed in a gown that was similar to Bella's in color and style, with the only difference being the length.

Michelle approached Louis while holding Leo's arm and smiling sweetly.

"Mr.Harvey"

Leo greeted Louis as well, his voice low.

When she saw both of them, Julia’s original smile froze.She quickly said goodbye to Louis and drew Amelie away from the crowd.

While walking away, she grumbled, "Is Michelle doing this on purpose? She's wearing the same gown as you on purpose.That way, people can debate whether Leo's ex-wife or current wife is more beautiful, huh?"

Amclic, however, did not think too much about it and merely let out a faint smile.

"I think it's just a coincidence."

"Michelle doesn't seem like a good Samaritan to me; she must have something up her sleeve!"

They continued walking and talking until they came to a corner.

Amelie happened to turn her head at this point and noticed Leo, his head bowed, assisting Michelle with her hem.He looked serious as he patiently smoothed the creases on Michelle's hem.

Immediately, everyone's eyes were filled with admiration as they surrounded them.

"With Mr.Alston adoring her, Miss Walsh really has a good life."

"You're right.Mr.Alston is known to be a generous and loving man to the woman he loves.In the past, Elyse..."

Such remarks inevitably reached Michelle's ears.She lowered her head and gazed at Leo, who was carefully tucking her hem.

At the same time, she smiled ironically as she cast a sidelong glance at Amelie, who was standing by the corner with her hem tangled.

Everyone assumed that Leo was tidying Michelle's hem for her, but only she knew that he was treating her as Amelie.

She had deliberately bought the same style of gown as Amelie's just to agitate Leo and make him suffer the agony of not being with the woman that he loved.

Michelle's heart had already been corrupted by evil, and she was proud of it.

However, Leo appeared too serious in tidying Michelle's hems that she became enamored with him and forgot that everything she did was for revenge.

When Leo was done with the hem, she took his arm and leaned coquettishly toward him.

"Stay away from me when there's no one around!"

His cold voice interrupted Michelle's enjoyment of his loving gesture, snapping her back into reality.

Leo quickly withdrew the arm she was holding onto, and the aloof man walked forward, not once looking back at her.

Seeing that, Michelle felt like she had been slapped in the face as tears welled up in her eyes.

She then dashed up to him and extended her hand to stop him.

"Leo Alston, how could you just loss me aside after using me? Aren't you being too much?"

However, all that she obtained in response was his cold, unfeeling stare.

"Don't assume that I'm unaware of what you did; you took me as Amelie just now! Even if we're just pretending to be a couple, you don't have to humiliate me like this!"

Michelle exclaimed angrily as if she were the victim.

"Haven't you used my guilt toward Amelie to do a lot of dirty things as well?"

Leo's cold words pierced through her and revealed Michelle's evil heart, making her so embarrassed that she stood motionless.

"You're talking nonsense!" she yelled, but her voice trembled, making her sound unconvincing.

Leo merely ignored her and left straight away.

Michelle, who had been left behind, felt both embarrassed and angry as she clutched the hem of her dress tightly until her fingers turned green.She felt like a clown at this point.

All this while, she was secretly pleased that she was fooling everyone, but she had no idea that Leo had seen through her every move.

This was an utter disgrace to her! Amelie, who was behind Michelle, witnessed everything. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She trailed behind them because she remembered what Eugene said, which made her skeptical.

Now, after hearing I.eo and Michelle's conversation, she finally believed Eugene's words.

Michelle, her reddish eyes welling up with tears, noticed Amelie as well.

"Are you satisfied now?" she said, glaring fiercely at Amelie before leaving.

Amelie, on the other hand, looked solemnly at the ground.She had no idea how long she stood motionless until a shadow engulfed her.

Then, she raised her head and saw Leo, which caused her to blink her eyes subconsciously as she did not expect him to be back.

Just as she was about to say something, Leo opened his mouth.

"I've already contacted the best eye surgeons I've been able to locate.They can use DNA technology to create an eye cornea best suited for you, and you'll be able to regain your sight."

After speaking, he then handed her a name card.

Amelie lowered her head to look at the name card as well.She had considered getting a cornea in the past.

However, her cornea had been forcefully removed in the past, and her sight could not be restored even if she obtained bean a new cornea now.

"So, we are square now, right?"

Amelie did not rush to take the name card and instead looked at Leo.

Even for the sake of their previous relationship, she didn't want to see him trapped in his obstinate thoughts.

Leo nodded in response.

"We're square now."

He then stuffed the name card into her palm and pressed his fingers against her hand for a brief moment.

Eventually, he retracted them.

"Goodbye," he said as he turned around and walked away.

Then, he walked further and further away until he disappeared from Amelie’s sight.

This was their final meeting for the next two years.
