Chapter 433 A Call From The Winters Family
That night, when Amelia finished showering and stepped out of the bathroom, Oscar wrapped his arms around her and placed her carefully on the bed, immediately picking up the hairdryer to dry her hair.
Amelia relaxed and allowed herself to enjoy Oscar’s service. Chuckling, she said, “I feel like our current relationship is much sweeter compared to the times before our divorce.”
After drying the ends of her hair, Oscar put the hairdryer away carefully and said, “You like romantic gestures, don’t you? So I’m going to fill your life with them. It hasn’t been easy getting you back. Of course, I wouldn’t have the heart to let you suffer.”
Amelia turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face into his chest as she mumbled, “Oscar, I realized you’ve been getting better at sweet-talking after our two-year separation. And I realize I’m getting spoiled by your words. What should I do?”
“Then, let me continue to spoil you. My honeyed words are reserved only for you.” Oscar lowered his head to kiss Amelia, but she stopped him by pushing against his chest.
Feeling puzzled, he gazed at her with eyes that seemed to be asking, “What’s wrong? Can’t we do it tonight?”
Embarrassed, Amelia flashed an apologetic smile and said, “Sorry, Oscar. I’m on that time of the month.”
The hunger in Oscar’s eyes dissipated immediately. He pinched her chin gently and said, “Woman, you’ve aroused me, and yet you’re not taking the responsibility to satisfy my desire. I’m going to go crazy one day if you keep playing with me.”
Amelia loved how he treated her with so much affection. After being separated for two years, she was now experiencing the joy of a newlywed couple who had just reunited.
“Are you angry?”
Oscar tapped the tip of her nose with a hint of affection and helplessness, saying, “You’re the only one who dares to tease me like this. If someone else did this, I’ll embarrass the person in public.”
“Like Ms. Walker?”
“Are you trying to provoke me?”
Amelia grinned. “Do you only realize it now, Oscar?”
He remained speechless for a moment.
Then, he tucked a laughing Amelia into his embrace, and his mood lifted instantly.
“Okay. It’s late. We should get some sleep,” he said.
Amelia snuggled into Oscar’s embrace obediently while the latter turned off the lights.
In the darkness, Amelia suddenly spoke. “Oscar, I’ve been hired by a designing company. I’ll start work next Monday.”
Oscar’s gaze darkened. “What’s the name of the company?”
“Levitate Marketing. It’s not a big company, but I like the environment there.” Amelia made some circles on his chest with her right hand as she continued, “Oscar, I hope you won’t get involved with my new job. I don’t want people to know that I’m your wife. Just let me handle this fight alone. I want to find out my capabilities in handling the harshness of the corporate world alone.”
Oscar sighed in exasperation. However, he still complied. “Really? You don’t need me to get involved?”
Amelia shook her head. “Oscar, I’ve been away from the working world for seven years. Back then, when I was working in Carter’s company, I was just passing my days. But now, I don’t want to be a Mrs. Clinton who has nothing to do all day. I know money isn’t an issue here, but life can get quite boring.”
Oscar ruffled her hair. “Since you like it there, you should go ahead. Just come back when things get tough. I’ll always be here.”
A blissful feeling filled Amelia’s heart to the brim. She tightened her arms around his waist, her entire body almost shrinking into his embrace as she said affectionately, “Oscar, has anyone ever told you that the caring version of you is more attractive compared to the serious one? You’ve got me falling head over heels for you. I really regret leaving you for the past two years.”
“Then, don’t leave me in the future.”
The two dark figures hugged each other tightly in the dark.
After some time, Oscar’s voice broke the silence. “James is coming back from Anglandur this weekend. I’ll need you to get Molly to prepare a meal, maybe something fusion. I’ll join all of you for lunch after my meeting in the morning.”
“Didn’t James say he’ll be coming back a month later?”
“He’s found a doctor to take over his position. The hospital could not ignore his constant plea for resignation. Hence, they had no choice but to approve it. And now he just can’t wait to come to Chanaea.”
“It sounds like James really likes Chanaea. It’s funny how a foreigner like him would fall in love with our culture and local customs. It must’ve been hard on him.”
