Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415 Clearing The Air

“Stop crying, Tony. You’ll get to see Kurt really soon,” Oscar told him after entering the house.

“Oscar, you…”

“Tony is missing him so badly, so how could I stop them from seeing each other?”

Oscar acted like it didn’t bother him at all, but Amelia knew just how much of a compromise he was making by saying that.

“Hurry up and thank your dad, Tony!” she said while trying her best to control her emotions.

“Thank you for letting me see Daddy, Big Meanie! I think you might just be a nice guy, after all!”

Oscar simply tousled his hair before putting his suit jacket on.

“I have a meeting at two, so I won’t be joining you two for lunch. Just whip up something simple today. I’ll have Molly come cook for you tomorrow.”

Amelia checked her phone and saw that it was already one in the afternoon.

“Drive safely, okay? Make sure to have your secretary get you lunch before attending that meeting! I’ll get worried if you work on an empty stomach!” she said worriedly while seeing him off at the door.

Oscar gave her a kiss on the lips and replied with a smile, “Got it, Honey!” He then ruffled Tony’s hair as he added, “You be a good boy and listen to your Mommy when I’m not at home, okay?”

Tony simply tilted his head and looked at him without saying anything.

The smile on Amelia’s face faded when she closed the door after Oscar left.

“Are you unhappy, Mommy?” Tony asked.

Amelia knelt down beside him and asked with a sigh, “Tony, do you really dislike your dad that much?”

Tony frowned as he didn’t understand why Amelia kept asking him about that.

“I don’t actually hate him that much, Mommy. I just want you and Daddy to be together, that’s all. If I like him, then Daddy won’t stand a chance at all! I may be young, but I really like Daddy! Can’t you just give Daddy a chance?”

Kids have very pure and innocent minds. They’ll tell you who they like and dislike without beating around the bush. I can’t blame Tony for expressing his feelings, but him constantly taking Kurt’s side like this is going to hurt Oscar. No father could possibly be comfortable with his own son treating another man as his dad. Oscar only pretended to not care because he didn’t want to worry me.

Amelia felt really conflicted at the thought of that.

“Tony, there’s something I need to discuss with you, okay?”

“Go ahead, Mommy. I’m listening.”

“I know you’re smarter than the other kids of your age. You’re able to think for yourself, so you should be able to understand what I’m about to tell you.”

Tony nodded.

“I want you to stop calling your godfather ‘Daddy’ in front of your dad, okay? This will be our little secret.”

Despite his usual obedient behavior, Tony was exceptionally stubborn about this.

“But he’s my daddy! Why can’t I call him ‘Daddy?’“

Amelia was at a loss for words as she didn’t know how to explain it to him.

“I’ll make you something to eat, okay?”

“Okay!”

Just like that, she finally ended that awkward conversation.

They had just finished eating lunch when the doorbell rang. Amelia opened the door, only to see Kurt standing outside.

His showing up all of a sudden made her feel a little awkward, but Tony was really excited and threw himself at Kurt the moment he saw him. “Daddy, you’re back! I’ve missed you so much!” he shouted happily while hugging Kurt’s leg.

Kurt picked him up before shifting his gaze toward Amelia.

“Come in,” she said after regaining her composure.

Kurt then carried Tony into the house and changed into a pair of slippers.

“Kurt, have you had lunch yet?” Amelia asked.

Kurt was going to say yes at first, but changed his mind and shook his head instead.

“I’ll make you some pasta. You can play with Tony while you wait.” Amelia made her way into the kitchen after saying that.

Due to her current relationship status with Oscar, Amelia found herself being less comfortable around Kurt compared to when they were in Beshya.

Her heart felt heavy when she heard their laughter coming from the living room.

I really want to be good friends with Kurt, but his feelings for me make it impossible for me to be myself around him. I have to keep my distance or it’ll give him a false sense of hope, and that’ll just hurt him in the end. I should’ve stopped him the moment I realized he has feelings for me. By selfishly keeping him around me, I’ve put all three of us in this awkward situation.

With that in mind, Amelia sighed as she continued cooking the pasta.

“Tony, have you been listening to your Mommy like a good boy?” Kurt asked while carrying Tony in the living room.

Tony nodded profusely. “Yeah! I’ve been really good! Why aren’t you living with us anymore, Daddy?”
