Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 First Day At Work

Amelia was busy entertaining Eva for the entire weekend and James was not any better as well. Eva would often behave out of the norm, causing him to fluster and keep his distance from her.

He waited for Eva to return to her place before talking to Amelia on Sunday night. “Amelia, can you ask your cousin to be more rational? I’m actually pretty conservative despite being a foreigner, and I want a virtuous and quiet wife. You should know that I’m afraid of overly enthusiastic girls. Can you try to talk some sense into her?”

If other women dared to pester him like that, he would have a way to deal with them. However, Eva was Amelia’s cousin. If he were too harsh on her, things might turn out awkward between Oscar and him.

Amelia smiled apologetically and promised, “I’ll try to talk to her. I just met her too, so I don’t know her very well. Hence, I can’t be too harsh on her.”

“It’s okay. Actually, I really enjoy being pursued by girls,” replied James insincerely with a glum face.

Seeing his expression, Amelia could not help but let out a chuckle.

“James, didn’t you say that you want a Chanaean girlfriend? You might as well accept my cousin. She should look fine if she dresses up properly.” As she spoke, she showed him a photo on her phone and continued, “Look, this is my cousin when she has light makeup on. I think she’ll be a good wife. What do you think?”

He shot her a suspicious glance and uttered, “Amelia, how could this be your cousin?” Once he thought of Eva’s yellow hair and heavy makeup, his head throbbed.

In an instant, Amelia was at a loss for words. Truth be told, she did not quite believe the girl in the photo was Eva as well. They looked totally different.

“Amelia, I’m taking my leave now. I don’t want to disturb you and Oscar.” Then, James left.

Amelia was nonplussed and closed the door behind him. Since she had to go to work the next day, she did not want to waste her sleeping time because of someone else’s relationship problems.

Early the next morning, the Clintons sent someone to pick up Tony.

Amelia was clad in formal office wear when she sent Tony downstairs. Squatting down, she said to Tony, “Tony, be a good boy and go to Grandma’s house today. Don’t make her angry, okay?”

Tony pursed his lips, looking obviously reluctant.

“Mommy, must I go?” he questioned aggrievedly.

Despite feeling reluctant, Amelia wanted Tony to mend the relationship with the Clintons. No matter what, he was the eldest grandson of the Clinton family. Most probably, he would take over Clinton Corporations in the future. She could not be selfish and just watch as the relationship between Tony and his grandparents became worse.

“Tony, you’ve promised me that you would go to your grandma’s house. How can you go back on your words now? What did I teach you since you were young? You have to be trustworthy and keep your promise. Do you want to be a naughty boy?” Amelia took the carrot-and-stick approach and continued, “If you go to Grandma’s house, I’ll cook you a lot of delicious food tonight.”

In the end, he reluctantly agreed, “Okay. Come pick me up early after you get off work.”

“All right.”

Only then did Tony get into the car sent by Olivia to pick him up.

As the car drove away, a hint of reluctance flickered past Amelia’s eyes.

Oscar wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, “If you’re reluctant, it’s okay to take Tony there when both of us are free.”

Immediately, Amelia recollected her thoughts and flashed him a smile. “In actuality, I have a plan in mind. I deliberately send Tony there to coax your parents. In the future, they’ll definitely forgive me for what I’ve done for the sake of Tony.”

Hearing that, Oscar lightly tapped her nose and reprimanded, “You’re not such a person. Stop saying something so misleading.”

A sweet smile crept on Amelia’s face. “It’s enough as long as you understand me. Let’s go to work.”

“I’ll send you there.”
