Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405 Chaotic Scene

With Amelia’s company, Oscar finally got some quality sleep. Both of them woke up at nine o’clock in the morning. Meanwhile, in the Clinton residence, Tony woke up at half-past eight in the morning. When he woke up and could not find Kurt and Amelia around him, he was in a panic.

He called out, “Daddy! Mommy!”

“Mr. Anthony, you’re awake.” After the door was pushed open, a chubby middle-aged woman walked in.

Tony immediately took several steps back. With a stern look, he asked warily, “Who are you? Where’s Mommy and Daddy?”

“Mr. Anthony, Mr. Oscar and Ms. Amelia have returned to the apartment in the city. They’ll be here in some time. Let me bring you to wash up in the washroom, okay? Mr. Clinton and Mrs. Clinton are waiting for you to have breakfast together downstairs.” The middle-aged woman tried to butter Tony up.

Tony then replied defensively, “Don’t come near me. Where’s the phone? I need to call Daddy and Mommy. Mommy told me before that if I ever wake up in an unfamiliar place and they’re not around me, I’ll have to call them and the police. If you retain me, I’ll call the police and let them arrest you.”

The woman felt exasperated. She did not expect Tony to be so difficult to deal with. He’s just two years old and he knows the police. Seems like he’s going to be difficult.

“Mr. Anthony, let’s go to the washroom to brush your teeth and wash your face. Mr. Oscar and Ms. Amelia will be back soon.”

“I want a phone. Give it to me.”

In the end, the woman had no choice but handed Tony her phone.

Tony called Amelia first, but she did not answer the call. Feeling upset, he phoned Kurt, and the latter answered it almost instantly.

“Daddy, I’m Tony. Where are you? Come and get me. I’m scared to be alone here,” Tony pleaded. “Daddy, come quickly. Don’t leave me. Or else, I’m going to start crying.”

Exasperatedly, Kurt consoled, “Tony, be good. I have something on. Please listen to Grandpa and Grandma. Don’t make things difficult for Mommy, all right?”

Tony was an extremely sensitive child. He sobbed as he asked, “Daddy, did the Big Meanie appear again? Is that why you don’t want me now? Are you going to separate from Mommy?”

There was no response from the other side of the line.

“Daddy! Daddy, are you still there?”

“I am.”

“Daddy, come and pick me up, okay? I’m scared here. I don’t want you to leave. Don’t leave me and Mommy, okay? Come quickly. Or else, I’m really going to cry,” Tony complained aggrievedly.

After a long time, Kurt still rejected him, “Tony, I’m still busy now. You have to behave yourself. Otherwise, I’ll really have to leave.”

“Okay. I’ll behave myself. Please pick me up soon. I don’t like this place.” Tony finally gave in.

Upon hanging up the call, the woman said carefully, “Mr. Anthony, let’s go brush your teeth and wash your face.”

“Just carry me in there and I’ll do it myself,” Tony replied coldly. He was throwing a fit because he woke up to a place where all his loved ones were not around.

After washing up, Tony went downstairs without letting the woman hold his hand.

When Olivia and Owen finally saw Tony as they had been waiting for him at the dining table, they immediately stood up. Olivia greeted him with excitement, “Darling, come here. I’ve prepared something for you.”

Tony ignored her. When he wanted to climb onto his chair, he failed because the chair was too tall for him.

Owen immediately stepped forward and picked Tony up before putting him on the chair. Looking at Owen, Tony felt a sense of affection. He had the desire to get closer to the man.

“Hug.” Tony stretched out his arms for Owen.

The latter had a pleasant surprise. Olivia widened her eyes in shock when she saw that. She quickly came in front of Owen and said, “Tony, let me hug you.”

“No! I don’t want you to hug me. You chased Mommy and Daddy away. You’re a bad person. I don’t want you to hug me.” Tony quickly withdrew his arms, having no respect for Olivia at all.

Upon hearing that, Olivia’s face fell. She had been longing to see her precious grandson, yet he had just accused her of being a bad person right in front of her. She felt extremely dejected.

After putting Owen on his seat, Owen turned to console Olivia, “Olivia, take it slow. You’ve scared him yesterday. Amelia is the one who has taken care of him in the past couple of years. Children are very sensitive. He can certainly feel that you’re against his mother. Just be more careful in front of him.”

Olivia then returned to her seat. She was still enthusiastic as she said, “Tony, I’ve ordered them to cook this soup for you. Try it. It tastes really good.”

While speaking, she scooped some soup into Tony’s bowl.

Tony glanced at the bowl of soup before he started drinking. After that, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, “Grandma, thank you for your soup, but it doesn’t taste as good as Tiffy’s soup.”

Olivia was not bothered at all. She smiled endearingly and replied, “Tony, what else do you want to eat? I’ll cook for you. I have great cooking skills. You’ll certainly like it.”
