My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 7

Twenty minutes later, Amelie showed up at Starlight Media with Bria. “I kept all your costumes. Here!” Julia exclaimed as she handed Amelie a snowy white fox mask. Her eyes were shining with excitement. “Everyone would be ecstatic if they knew Foxy has returned.” Amelie silently took the mask and wore it. “The mask looks so interesting. Mommy, I want to wear a mask too,” shouted Bria excitedly after she saw Amelie wear the mask. Like performing a magic trick, Julia swiftly handed Bria a little pink fox mask. “Here you go, Bria. I’ve prepared one for you too.” At once, Bria’s big eyes beamed with fascination as she held the mask cautiously. Then, she quickly wore the mask with Julia’s help. After that, she happily ran to Amelie’s side, tugged at her sleeve, and asked, “Mommy, are we cosplaying?” She flicked Bria’s little head and answered, “We’ll be doing a live stream.” While they were talking, Julia had turned on the live stream for her. Only a few people were watching. Even so, Amelie was incredibly excited. Even after four years of not doing live streaming, it was like there was a magical drive guiding her as she greeted the audience naturally, “Hello everyone, it’s your good friend, Foxy. You guys must be wondering why I’ve disappeared for four years, right? Well, I’ll tell you guys all about it.” She briefly talked about her marriage and childbirth before introducing Bria to everyone in the live stream room. The initially empty live stream room instantly became lively a few minutes after the introduction. ‘Damn! I’m not seeing it wrongly, am I? Foxy is back?’ ‘Could it be someone disguising as her and deceiving us?’ ‘It’s possible. After all, Foxy is a certified and famous live streamer with millions of fans. How would the industry be willing to give up such a profitable asset?’ ‘It’s no fun if it’s not Foxy. So, let’s leave, guys.’ As Amelie silently read through the dazzling array of comments everyone posted, she smiled slightly before singing a song. Then, she performed a little magic trick. She even cracked a joke while she performed the trick. At once, the comment section was in an uproar. ‘It’s Foxy! It’s her! I’ve watched each and every of her past live streams! I would recognize her live-streaming style, regardless of what she’d become!’ ‘Yes! I recognized it too. Foxy really has returned!’ ‘Foxy! Foxy! I love you!’ The atmosphere in the live stream room immediately became boisterous. The comment section constantly buzzed with various words of enthusiasm. Not only that, some even frantically sent gifts to Amelie.

Truthfully, Amelie started doing live streams as early as her college days. She was undoubtedly an Internet celebrity, and her popularity was no less than that of an online star with a huge fan base. Unfortunately, because the Alstons refused to accept an Internet celebrity as their daughter-in-law, Amelie stopped doing live streams after she married into the family. Back then, as she loved Leo wholeheartedly, she felt that such a sacrifice was worth it for the sake of love. Nevertheless, now that she looked back at her actions, she realized how foolish she was. Therefore, she reached out, turned off the gift-giving function, and said, “It’s our first gathering after four years. Thank you all for still remembering me. I’m here today to reconnect with you guys, so I won’t be accepting gifts.” Amelie, who resumed her live-streaming activity, suddenly regained her spirit. There would be times when she would alternate between the persona of being mischievous, innocent, cute, and aloof. Regardless of the requests, she could pull off all kinds of styles, repeatedly showing her unique talent. Bria, who was beside her, was a little shy at first. Yet, after she saw how relaxed and happy Amelie was, she, too, joined in. She sang, danced, and performed magic tricks with Amelie. The two of them had a great time. Leo, on the other hand, was in a terrible mood. I guess I’m a celebrity now, thanks to the drama that unfolded this morning. Right now, the whole city knows that I’m divorced! One whole morning, he’d received several calls from friends around him, but their first reaction wasn’t to congratulate him. Instead, they asked, “Did you two really divorce? It’s a little pity, don’t you think?” Is it really, though? What’s so unfortunate about divorcing a woman as scheming as Amelie? Regardless, that wasn’t what annoyed Leo the most. Instead, what frustrated him even more, was the fact that Jamie’s act of protecting Amelie had made the headlines. Someone even asked Jamie about his relationship with Amelie on the same day he did his live stream. In his live stream, Jamie explained that Amelie was the girl he’d admired for a long time. Regrettably, he didn’t have the courage to confess to her due to the big gap between their popularity back then. Now that she was divorced, he hoped he could accompany her well. And as for the future, he told his fans that he would do his best to win her over. Tch! The woman I despised is the woman Jamie loves most and has been very proud of for many years. Isn’t that just an obvious criticism mocking me for being blind to Amelie’s good traits?! The more Leo thought about it, and the more angered he became. In fact, he was so enraged that he attended theOwned by NôvelDrama.Org.

grand ceremony without having lunch and gulped down glass after glass of wine. Next to Leo sat Toby. He happened to be reading articles related to Jamie as he swiped through the tablet screen in front of him. “I never knew your wife was so popular!” There was a gloating smile on his face when he said those words. Leo saw Toby’s gloating smile and felt that it was a piercing sight. His mood increasingly worsened, and he corrected Toby with a cold demeanor. “Ex-wife!” “Fine. Fine. Ex-wife. But it’s quite unfortunate, come to think of it. Although she did plot some scheme against you back then, she still behaved discreetly and didn’t throw any tantrums all these years. Besides, what she did back then was beneficial to you, too… Forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything.” Chatting endlessly at first, Toby hurriedly kept his mouth, for he knew he’d touched Leo’s raw nerve after seeing Leo looking like he was about to skin him alive. Leo massaged his temples and allowed his thoughts to linger on the affairs of their divorce. Amelie Dillion, that good-for-nothing woman, where did she have the confidence to divorce me? What right does she have to file for divorce? “What’s so unfortunate about divorcing a woman like her?!” Ashton, who was on the other side, pouted unhappily. He added disdainfully, “But I must say: since she left without taking any property after the divorce and didn’t even bother to come up with any explanations regarding the child’s custody, she clearly wanted to be passive-aggressive. She definitely has something up her sleeves. I can assure you that she’ll definitely return with the child within three days, looking all pitiful and begging you to remarry her. You’ll fall into her trap if you get all soft-hearted and agree.” For some reason, Leo actually felt his mood inexplicably improve when he heard Ashton say that Amelie wasn’t genuine in wanting to divorce him and even had plans to remarry him. Nonetheless, another burst of frustration surged within him moments later. What am I thinking? I should have divorced a woman as sinister and despicable as Amelie long ago! “No way! Foxy has returned?!” Toby suddenly yelled. Then, he shoved his tablet in front of Leo with great excitement. “Leo, it looks like there’s hope for our plan to enter Skaynia’s market after all.” Although Leo was annoyed to death, he would never be sloppy about work. So he glanced at the person inside the screen and ordered, “You shall follow up on this matter first.” “Okay,” Toby responded with a nod. Then, he shoved Leo again the following day and said, “Don’t you think that Foxy looks like your ex-wife?”
