Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Conflict Between Father And Son

Kurt opened the door for them. When both men locked eyes, an indescribable tension filled the air.

In the end, Kurt relented. Shifting his gaze to Amelia, who was in Oscar’s arms, he subconsciously wanted to take her from him. However, Oscar declined, “It’s all right. I’ll do it.”

Just when Kurt felt awkward, Amelia Hutton defused the situation.

“Kurt, Amy’s hurt. Let’s just go in first,” she proposed.

With a narrowing gaze, Kurt stepped aside.

At the same time, Tiffany came out with Tony. When she saw Amelia in Oscar’s arms, she hurried over and asked, “Amelia, what happened? Where are you hurt? Oscar, what have you done? Why didn’t you protect her? She lost her vision due to your sister. And now, you got her injured the moment you return. Are you a jinx or what?”

Tony ran up to Oscar and began to punch and kick him. “Big Meanie, let go of my mommy at once. She belongs to Daddy.”

Lowering his gaze to look at Tony who was taller than his peers, Oscar’s eyes were filled with mixed emotions. Although he was proud of how protective his son was, his expression darkened when he heard Tony yelling the word “Daddy.”

With Amelia in his arms, Oscar quickly sat down on the sofa and asked, “Is there a first aid kit? Amelia fell down and scraped her elbow.”

Tiffany quickly ran into the house and came out with one.

After receiving it, Oscar prepared to apply some iodine on Amelia. However, she pulled her hand back and remarked, “I’m fine.”

Ignoring her protest, Oscar forcefully pulled her hand back and applied the medication on her carefully.

“Are you hurt anywhere else?” Oscar asked affectionately.

Amelia retracted her hand at once and answered, “No, thank you.”

Upon hearing that, Oscar did not force the issue.

Meanwhile, Derrick walked out from behind while wiping his hands. Smiling, he commented, “What’s going on? Why is everyone so quiet?” Just as he spoke, he turned to Amelia Winters and added, “Mr. Clinton, must you arrive with such fanfare? The moment you do, you caused Amelia to be injured.”

Oscar simply gave him the side-eye.

When Amelia Hutton saw Derrick, she exclaimed, “Mr. Hisson, you’re here too! It’s been a while since I saw you.”

Derrick smiled at her. “You can just call me Derrick.”

Amelia Hutton nodded with a grin.

“Amy, who is this? Aren’t you going to introduce us?” Amelia Hutton asked innocently while seated on a nearby sofa.

The question made Amelia Winters feel awkward. Due to what Kurt did to the Hutton family’s company, Amelia Hutton hadn’t dropped by for some time. Instead, it was Eleanor who would occasionally visit despite how unwelcomed Tiffany made her feel. In fact, Eleanor came so often with food that even Tiffany felt bad for giving her the cold shoulder.

“He’s my ex—” Before she could explain, Oscar interjected, “Amelia is my wife. Before this, there was a misunderstanding between us that caused her to come to Beshya with Tony. Anyway, I’m Oscar Clinton. May I know who you are? How did you get to know my wife?”

Considering how Amelia Hutton resembled Amelia Winters, Oscar was cordial to her.

With a forced smile, Amelia Hutton feigned naivety and remarked, “You’re Amy’s husband? In that case, who is Kurt? All this while, I assumed Kurt and Amy were about to get married because they were living together. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say that. What I meant was that I thought both of them were together.”

Her words caused everyone’s expressions to drastically change.

With a grim look on his face, Oscar shot a discreet glance at Kurt before replying with a smile, “You have gotten the wrong idea. Kurt is a bodyguard I have assigned to protect Amelia and Tony. That’s the reason why they are staying under the same roof.”

Pretending to have suddenly realized the fact, Amelia Hutton nodded. “Oh, I see. I’m really sorry. It’s just that Amy has never mentioned that Kurt is her bodyguard. I assumed they were together because they made a good couple. My apologies, I don’t mean that you’re not compatible. I just got ahead of myself there. I hope you don’t mind.”

Pulling Amelia Winters closer to him in a domineering manner, Oscar demonstrated his dominion over her.

Suddenly, Tony scowled at Oscar and confronted him, “Big Meanie! Let go of Mommy. Mommy and Daddy are a couple. How dare you take advantage of Mommy!”

Oscar allowed Tony to hit him however he wanted. All he did was stare at Tony with mixed emotions and rue the two years he missed spending with his son.

Meanwhile, Amelia Winters picked Tony up and hugged him. She was worried that Tony would infuriate Oscar with his words and damage the relationship between father and son. After all, both of them had not seen each other before.

“Tony, what have I been telling you? Didn’t I teach you to be respectful to everyone? How can you go around hitting someone else?” Amelia admonished Tony while restraining him by the shoulders.

Feeling aggrieved, Tony retorted softly, “Mommy, Big Meanie is taking advantage of you. All I’m doing is chasing him away. So, I’m not being rude to anyone.”

Having heard her son call Oscar Big Meanie, Amelia couldn’t help but feel bitter about it. In fact, she even felt guilty that Oscar had to hear it. After all, she was the reason why Tony resented his father.
