Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 403

Chapter 403 Overbearing

After putting Anthony to sleep, Olivia and Owen sat on the couch, whereas Amelia and Kurt stood by the side. Olivia stared at them and asked in a haughty tone, “Kurt, how has our family been treating you?”

Kurt lowered his eyes and replied, “Your family treated me really well, Mrs. Clinton. I owe it to Boss for everything that I am today. I wouldn’t be who I am today without him.”

“So, you knew.” Olivia crossed her arms. She gave off an invisible pressure with her icy demeanor. “Oscar personally taught you everything. Is this how you repay him? He spent a lot of effort training you, but you betrayed him by taking his son away from him. We spent two years looking for him. Is this how you show your gratitude?”

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Clinton. I’m willing to accept any kind of punishment.”

“Punishment? You deprived me of the opportunity to watch Tony grow up. No amount of money can ever buy back the two years I’ve lost. Tell me, how can you compensate me for that?”

“You can do whatever you want with me. I won’t utter a single complaint.”

Olivia banged the table, stood up, and made her way toward Kurt. She raised her hand and gave him a tight slap. “From this day onwards, you are fired. You will have nothing to do with us anymore. I want you to leave this city,” she said.

Kurt’s cheeks grew numb from the slap.

He gave Amelia a look and replied, “I can’t leave just yet, Mrs. Clinton. I promised her I would protect her.”

Olivia scoffed.

“Looks like a lot has happened in the past two years. Look, Oscar, your ex finally found someone new, a man who’s willing to protect her. I think it’s time you realize you’re being cheated on.” Olivia was insinuating that Amelia had moved on with Oscar’s bodyguard while he was still hoping for a reconciliation.

The air immediately became thick with tension upon her words.

Olivia continued, “Amelia, pardon me for my harsh words. You insisted on getting a divorce two years ago because of your differences in ideals and values. I’ve accepted the fact that the both of you just weren’t meant to be. You left with Tony without saying goodbye and took away my pride and joy. I accepted it only because Oscar was still very fond of you. He only had good things to say about you. Now that Tony is back, you can do whatever you want with Kurt. However, Tony’s last name will remain as it is, so just let him stay with us. I wish you both much happiness. I have nothing to say to you anymore, Amelia.”

Oscar walked over and circled his arms around Amelia’s waist. “Mom, Amelia is mine.”

Olivia’s face twisted in fury.

She took a deep breath and said, “Oscar, you’re going to get engaged with Isabella soon. Everyone in the upper-class society knows about it, so stop messing around. We Clintons and Walkers will not put up with such humiliation. Moreover, your sister is going to marry Noah. Our bond will be even stronger after that. You’ve made a fool of yourself for the past two years. Enough is enough, so don’t ruin our familial ties for this flirtatious woman.”

Oscar’s face darkened. “Mom, I have nothing to do with Isabella. I hope you will stop trying to pair us up because she will be the one who will be utterly humiliated in the end.”

Olivia pointed at Amelia as her face clouded over.

“How could you be so irresponsible? Don’t forget the fact that you’ve slept with Isabella. The Walkers and I have seen it with our own eyes. Are you trying to shirk responsibility now? Is that what I’ve taught you growing up?”

Oscar’s eyes glinted coldly, and he narrowed his eyes.

He never thought that his mother would go as far as to lie through her teeth. He was suddenly consumed with fear because it felt like he didn’t know his mother anymore.

How could she put me in such a difficult situation for her own selfish needs? Is she still the gentle and loving mother I knew?

Oscar’s heart sank upon the thought.

Amelia also felt torn. Her eyes widened as she was reminded of Isabella holding hands with Oscar two years ago. Oscar seemed to enjoy it very much and let her be. She had tried so hard to repress the memory, but in a flash, the scene played out once again.

Oscar, have you really moved on with Isabella during the past two years that I’m not around? If that’s the case, why are you messing around with me? Is it purely because you want to seek revenge on me for leaving without saying goodbye?

Amelia’s mind was in a mess. She knew she should trust Oscar wholeheartedly, but she couldn’t shake off the fact that she felt annoyed by the two women pestering Oscar.

Oscar tightened his grip around her as if he could tell what was going on in her mind. “Trust me, Amelia,” he whispered.

Amelia shook off her doubts and smiled at Oscar. “You will always have my trust,” she replied.
