Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 Estranged Relationship

When a phone rang, Anthony took the phone and ran over to pounce on his mother. “It’s from Amelia, Mommy!” he informed.

Taking the phone from him, Amelia greeted, “Hey, Amelia. Are you in Saspiuburg now?”

“I’m home already, Amelia. I was talking to Mom, so I forgot to call you. Sorry about that. So how’s it going? Did you take good care of yourself while I was gone? Did Tony drive you up the wall?” Amelia blabbered happily.

“Tony has been on his best behavior. Tell Mrs. Hutton I said hi,” she said gently. “Is she feeling better now?”

“Oh, Mom’s fine. She just overthinks a lot of stuff since she has a lot of time on her hands now. Someone has to stay around and act as a distraction.”

“And that’s going to be your job. Stay with her, all right?”

“I will, Amelia. Oh, and I’ll be back in two weeks. Sorry for the delay.”

“Oh, we’re not in a hurry here. Stay with your parents. Spend more time with them. They aren’t getting any younger, so they need their children to be with them.”

“Amelia, won’t you miss me if I stay in Saspiuburg for too long?”

Amelia chuckled. “I do miss you, but it hasn’t been too long since we met, so your family takes priority here.”

“Okay, then.”

“You should be spending time with your mother now. I’ll ask Tiffany to make a feast for you once you come back.”

“Oh, that sounds wonderful, Amelia. You’d better not forget about that.”

“It’s just a little feast. It’ll take more than that for me to go back on my word.”

They made some small talk and hung up a while later.

At that moment, Tiffany came over, holding two glasses of milk in her hand. She gave one to Anthony and the other to Amelia. “Babe, it’s almost nighttime. Are you still mad at me?”

Amelia held the glass, the warmth of the milk warming her hand up. “I was never mad at you, Tiff,” she answered with a smile. “I know you were just saying all that for my own good.”

Tiffany looked at her, then at Kurt, who was still working in the kitchen. Then she changed the topic. “Forget it. I don’t want to talk about this. Since you’re not interested in romance, we’ll put it aside for now. Was that Amelia just now?”

Amelia nodded in response.

“What did she say?”

“She’s at her home in Saspiuburg. We made small talk, and I told her to say hi to her parents for me.”

Tiffany nodded pensively. “Amelia, don’t you think your ‘sister’ is a bit too friendly to you? She thinks of you as her own sister and acts as though the two of you are real siblings as well. Haven’t you realized that she’s being too nice to you?”

Amelia paused for a moment to process that piece of information. She then recalled Rory telling her about Amelia plucking her hair once.

Most people would only do that because they want to perform a DNA test. Amelia can’t really be my sister, right?

The moment that thought popped up, Amelia laughed it off.

Tiffany voiced her question out, “Amelia, do you think she actually thinks that you’re related to her?”

“That is impossible, Tiffany.”

“But what if it’s true?”

“Even if it is true, what do you want us to do? Tell the truth and be a happy family?”

“Well, that’s not a bad idea if you’re actually her real sister.”
