Chapter 383 An Apology

Oscar walked over and hugged Amelia, patting her back gently. “Amelia, you’ve changed a lot. You would have never shown me your vulnerable side before.”

Amelia was stunned momentarily before she smiled wryly.

“Oscar, after I go to Anglandur and if my cornea transplant surgery is a success, I won’t be returning to that city for a while,” Amelia suddenly said.

Oscar’s expression darkened instantly, and he tried hard to suppress his rage.

“And what’s the reason for that?”

“It’s too complicated over there. I think Beshya is pretty good.”

“Then what about me?”

“Aren’t we already divorced?”

Rendered speechless, Oscar let out a chuckle.

He lifted Amelia’s chin. “Amelia, do you think this is appropriate? If you stay in Beshya, then what about me? What if Dad and Mom want to visit Tony? Do you remember how much you have hurt the Clintons when you left with Tony two years ago without saying anything? Please think about it. I’m a little pissed right now. So I’ll go out to clear my thoughts. We’ll leave for Anglandur tomorrow.”

With that, Oscar walked out the door.

Derrick, who was eating an apple outside, saw Oscar come out. He wanted to greet the latter, but Oscar ignored him and left abruptly.

After Derrick went and talked with Tiffany for a while in the kitchen, he ran downstairs and saw Oscar by the car.

“Mr. Clinton, what’s going on?” Derrick walked over and patted Oscar’s shoulder.

Oscar cast him a glance and handed him a cigarette.

Derrick took the cigarette but did not light it.

“Mr. Clinton, did you get into a fight with Amelia?”

Puffing on his cigarette, Oscar uttered in a low voice, “Do you think that I treat Amelia well?”

“Of course. I’ve never seen someone who cares so much for her.”

“Really?”

Derrick folded his arms while leaning lazily against the car. “I’ve never pegged you as a man that lacks confidence. Did Amelia break your spirit?”

“No. I’m just a little pissed. I didn’t expect that even after she regained her eyesight, she would still refuse to go back with me.”

Derrick nodded slightly. So that was what happened.

“Mr. Clinton, Amelia has just escaped from the Clinton residence two years ago. She has gotten used to a carefree life. If she goes back now, she will need to face a load of troubles again. If your roles were reversed, which one would you choose?”

Oscar fell into deep thought.

“Mr. Clinton, I know you’re a powerful man, and you’re capable of protecting your woman. It is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against a knife in the back. I’ve heard Mrs. Clinton saying that among the high society, she preferred the daughter of the Walker family as her daughter-in-law. If that’s so, won’t it be awkward if Amelia follows you back? Besides, Tony is the grandson of the Clintons. Surely there will also be an issue about Tony’s custody. I think Amelia just doesn’t want to put you in a bad spot.”

Oscar’s gaze darkened. Indeed, he was aware of how challenging it was to cope with his mother’s gentle yet domineering gesture.

“Mr. Clinton, please take my advice if you find it reasonable. If not, feel free to ignore it. However, I didn’t expect you and Amelia to get into a conflict. I thought you would appreciate her more after spending so much effort to find her. I didn’t expect to see you wasting such a great opportunity,” Derrick deliberately teased.

Oscar smiled bitterly while continuing to smoke. “I’m not angry with her. I’m angry with myself. I used to think that I was a smart man. That there’s nothing I can’t achieve in the business world. Yet, I got abandoned by two women respectively. I am starting to doubt whether I’m really as good as others said. So, when Amelia refused to go back with me, I lost my calm.”

Derrick smiled as he exposed Oscar’s true thoughts. “Mr. Clinton, just tell me the truth. You’re actually jealous, aren’t you?”

Oscar stared at him with a confused look.

“Amelia allowed Kurt to stay by her side for almost two years. You must be jealous of him, right?”

“Derrick, sometimes it is better not to be so smart.”

Derrick let out a loud laugh.

“Mr. Clinton, thanks for your compliment. It’s such a rare honor for you to praise me.” Derrick got serious suddenly. “But Mr. Clinton, it wasn’t easy for you to find Amelia. Are you really going to give up just because of her words?”

Oscar cut him a glare.

Derrick shrugged like a lazy cat. “Mr. Clinton, sometimes a man should not keep quiet, especially to the woman he loves. You might think that two hearts are always connected when they’re really in love. But it is still important to express your true feelings. If not, she will never know.”

Oscar stared profoundly at Derrick.
