Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382 A Relenting Heart

With Amelia in his arms, Oscar sat on the bed and said, “Amelia, we will be heading to Anglandur tomorrow. As for Mrs. Hutton, do you want me to investigate her background? Given how much you resemble her, it’s impossible for you two not to be related by blood.”

“Are you saying that she’s my biological mother?” Amelia stated out loud what he was inferring.

“Yes, I noticed that her concern for you exceeds what an ordinary person would have. Haven’t you suspected that she has an agenda by trying to get close to you?” Oscar asked while fiddling with her hair.

Smiling wryly, Amelia replied, “Of course I did. However, since she’s unwilling to acknowledge it, there’s no point in me breaking that barrier. After all, I’m just happy with the way things are.”

“Why?”

Amelia briefly related how Benjamin treated her.

With a sharpened gaze, Oscar declared, “You do not need his approval. Given that only I am allowed to bully you, he has crossed the line by doing so. It looks like I must have a chat with this Mr. Hutton you speak of.”

With her troubles all behind her now, Amelia gradually beamed.

“There’s no need to. He’s just worried that I’ve approached his wife and daughter with an agenda. After all, everyone that’s rich suffers from the same fear,” Amelia replied with a smile. With regards to Benjamin, Amelia wasn’t too keen on getting to know him better even if he might be her biological father. Not only do they have incompatible personalities, but Benjamin also disliked her. In fact, he resented the idea of accepting her into the Hutton family, and that was the reason why he objected to Eleanor interacting with Amelia.

In truth, Amelia felt that there was no need for Benjamin to behave that way.

Oscar scratched her nose and joked, “You shouldn’t forget that you’re rich too. The assets that I have placed in your name are more than enough for you to live a life of luxury without needing to work a single day. Although you have closed all of your old accounts, I have tracked down your new one and transferred the assets into it.”

Burying her head in his arms, Amelia wondered in a melancholic tone, “Oscar, why are you so nice to me? I left with Tony without saying a word and disappeared for two years. Judging by what I did, shouldn’t you hate me instead?”

“Do you want me to hate you?” Lowering his gaze, Oscar threw the question back at her, causing her to fall silent.

After a long while, she replied softly, “Oscar, over the last two years, I was always afraid of dreaming about you telling me that you hated me. There were a few times when I dreamt that you told me to get lost. Those were the times when I would jolt awake and could no longer sleep. Whenever that happens, I would walk to the window to admire the beautiful scenery outside. Unfortunately, it’s obvious that I can’t see anything at all. Deep in the night, I would simply feel the gentle breeze blowing in my face. During those moments, I would ask myself what I would do if you hated me. To be honest, I have no idea, as that is the thing I fear the most.”

As he held Amelia tightly, Oscar’s heart ached at how she always let her imagination run wild. How could I have ever assumed that she was a materialistic woman back then?

Leaning into his arms, Amelia listened to his heartbeat and asked again, “Oscar, do you really not hate me?”

“If I did, would I have gone through so much trouble to find you a suitable cornea? However, I do blame myself for not caring enough in the beginning. The fact that you chose to leave before you lose your eyesight entirely shows that you didn’t believe I could protect you from the malicious rumors. In the end, you chose to suffer alone instead. During the first month after you left, I kept wondering if I was a failure. Or else, why didn’t you believe in me?” Oscar related his sorrows with a grim voice.
