Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 410

Chapter 410 Caught In A Tight Spot

Having held Tony the whole time, Amelia put him down the moment they got back to their apartment. But as soon as she did that, Tony raised his gaze toward her. “Mom, when will I see Daddy and Tiffy again? I miss them. I don’t ever want to go back to where we came from again. The people there are scary.”

Upon hearing that, Amelia subconsciously glanced at Oscar.

Oscar then walked quickly toward them. Worried that he might hurt Tony, Amelia instinctively shielded him. However, she immediately realized that her action was rather hurtful.

Oscar was taken aback as well. It was as if Amelia thought so badly of him that he would hurt his own son.

Amelia was stumped as she stammered, “I… I didn’t mean it, Oscar.”

Oscar’s gaze turned dark for a moment before he smiled and said, “You silly woman.”

When Amelia saw the smile on his face, she couldn’t help but feel happy. He has changed a lot in the past two years. He has become so kind and considerate.

However, her heart ached a little when she noticed how much Oscar has changed.

Something bad must’ve happened to him. Either that, or he was hurt in some way. Otherwise, what else could’ve tamed his temper?

Oscar ran his fingers through her fringe and said, “What did you think I was going to do, silly. Only a despicable man would lay their hands on his wife and kids. Don’t think so badly of me, okay? I’ll never hurt Tony.”

Amelia couldn’t help but feel bad for her actions. “I’m sorry, Oscar. I really didn’t mean to do that.”

Oscar then gently pushed Amelia aside and squatted down before Tony. “Do you really like Kurt so much?” Oscar asked with a sweet tone.

Tony nodded. “Of course, I like him, he’s my daddy.”

“Do you really hate me so much?” Oscar asked.

Tony tilted his head and took a closer look at Oscar. “Actually, I don’t hate you that much. Besides, Mommy said you’re my real daddy. But I don’t enjoy seeing you together with Mommy. I guess as long as you don’t take her away, I can try to like you.”

Oscar couldn’t help but laugh at Tony’s answer. That was also the first time someone had told him to his face that he hated him. Who would’ve thought that the first person to do so was to be his son?

“I’ll never give up on your mommy. As for you, you’re my precious son. I believe I can win your heart in no time!”

Tony snorted in response.

“Since you like Kurt so much, I promise he’ll be around you to keep you protected,” Oscar added.

“Oscar, what are you saying?” Amelia was in disbelief.

“Since Tony likes him, I’ll let Kurt return to his side.”

“And you don’t mind that?” Amelia was shocked.

“I do, actually. I’d be lying if I say otherwise. But since nothing has happened between the two of you in the past, there wouldn’t be a spark as well in the future, am I right?”

Amelia stared at Oscar for a while with her perplexed expression. Is he saying that just to make me happy? Or does he mean it sincerely? He has changed so much! He’s even prioritizing my needs now.

“You don’t have to do that, Oscar. I don’t wish for Kurt’s return, anyway. We don’t need his protection anymore. Besides, I could never repay his love for me as I don’t have such feelings for him. So if he returns, it wouldn’t be fair on either of you.” Amelia then paused and spoke her mind. “I was being so selfish. I knew he had romantic feelings for me and yet, I led him on.”

Oscar stood up and walked toward her. “Is that really what you want?”

Amelia nodded.

Suddenly, Tony ran toward her and grabbed her legs. “Mommy, I want Daddy! I like him a lot. Please don’t keep him apart from me.”

Amelia was caught in a tight spot. “Tony, listen to me. Your godpa has business to attend to elsewhere. He’s very busy at the moment. He’ll come to see you when he’s free, okay?”

Tears were streaming down Tony’s cheeks. “You’re lying, Mommy! I asked Daddy just now, and he said as long you agree, he’d return to me. Now you’re cutting Daddy off because of this man!” Tony sobbed.

Again, Tony had put Amelia in a tight spot. Suddenly, she felt even worse for Oscar. If only I didn’t let Kurt come along when I ran away with Tony. None of this would have happened. This is all my fault. I have no one to blame but myself.
