Chapter 400 She Did Not Dare To Acknowledge Her
Tony broke away from Kurt’s embrace and trotted toward Amelia Hutton. In the next moment, he bit her hand like a puppy, causing her to cry out in pain.
Immediately, Amelia Winters stepped forward and hugged Tony in her arms. “Tony, let go of her. Otherwise, I’ll get angry.”
Only then did Tony stop biting Amelia Hutton. However, he still glared at her like a wolf cub as he snarled, “How dare you slap Mommy? I’ll bite you to death.”
Grabbing the hand that was bitten by Tony, Amelia Hutton was on the verge of tears. She looked at Amelia Winters and questioned, “Amy, is this how you educate your son?”
Just then, Tiffany shielded Amelia Winters behind her and piped up, “Ms. Hutton, we’re just acquaintances. It might be inappropriate for us to leave without informing you, but that doesn’t mean you can slap Amelia because of it. I think Tony did nothing wrong. He’s teaching you how to respect others. To be honest, we only got to know you and your mother by chance. We aren’t obligated to report our whereabouts to both of you.”
A hint of embarrassment flickered past Amelia Hutton’s eyes while Eleanor’s face blanched.
With Tony in her arms, Amelia Winters uttered, “Tiff, don’t say that.” The next moment, she averted her gaze to Eleanor and suggested, “Mrs. Hutton, let’s talk in the house. This is the corridor. We might disturb others.”
After entering the house, she put Tony down and said to him gently, “Tony, what did I tell you? You can’t be rude to people, and you can’t bite them without reason. Have you forgotten what I taught you? You’ve bitten Amelia just now. Shouldn’t you apologize to her?”
Nevertheless, Tony lifted his chin and snorted arrogantly. “Mommy, she’s a bad woman. She slapped you. I’m not going to apologize to her. I’ll bite whoever that bullies you.”
Using his little hand to caress her cheek, he leaned over and blew on it gently. “I’ll blow away all the pain for you, Mommy.”
His words and actions brought warmth to the deepest part of her heart.
Amelia Winters pulled Tony into her arms and grinned. “It doesn’t hurt anymore. However, you still have to apologize if you did something wrong. Go and apologize to Amelia and promise that you’ll never do it again in the future. Or else, I’ll be angry.”
Tony pursed his lips, looking obviously reluctant.
“Tony, be good now. Hurry up.”
In the end, he reluctantly approached Amelia Hutton and apologized, “Amelia, I’m sorry. But you did bully my mommy, so I don’t regret biting you.”
Amelia Hutton’s expression darkened.
Subsequently, Eleanor squatted down and hugged Tony. “You’re such a good boy and even know how to apologize to others at such a young age. Your mother has taught you well. I’m so proud of you.”
With that said, she looked at Amelia Hutton and questioned, “Tony is only two years old and already knows that he has to apologize when he has done something wrong. What about you? Shouldn’t you apologize to Lia?”
Amelia Hutton stood rooted to the spot and did not respond.
“Are you trying to piss me off?” Eleanor’s face fell as she spoke.
Only then did Amelia Hutton walk over reluctantly.
“Amy, I’m sorry. I was too impulsive just now. Please forgive me,” enunciated Amelia Hutton insincerely.
Amelia Winters wore a smile on her face, but her smile was tinged with a hint of aloofness.
“Amelia, I don’t blame you. I went to Anglandur in a hurry, so I forgot to inform you and Mrs. Hutton. When I arrived in Anglandur, I had too many problems to settle. Plus, I changed to an Anglandurn phone number, so I wasn’t able to receive your call. I’m the one who should apologize to you. I’m glad that you still remember me even though we aren’t that close,” remarked Amelia Winters.
Amelia Hutton’s cheeks flushed a little.
“Amy, I acted too rashly just now. I shouldn’t have slapped you even if I’m angry. I just feel sorry for my mom. She has a history of mental illness, and the doctor said that if she falls ill again, she may need to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital for treatment. She has controlled her emotions well in the past few years, and she’s also doing counseling with her psychiatrist every month. Yet, she almost had a relapse because she was too worried about you. That’s why I was anxious,” explained Amelia Hutton.
