Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Never Mess With The Clintons

The Clintons had a great time enjoying their meal at Tiffany’s place. After they finished their meal, Tiffany showed them the way to the living room.

Tony, who was in between Olivia’s arms, behaved himself instead of wailing for no apparent reason.

Tiffany held Amelia in her arms and whispered, “Take good care of yourself and get in touch with me if anyone tries to pick on you!”

Amelia responded with a nod and expressed her gratitude in a sincere manner, “Thank you so much for taking care of me all this while!”

Her friend patted her on her back and asserted, “You need to stop it! It’s just something trivial!”

Seconds after she wrapped up their conversation, Amelia joined Oscar in the car at the rear passenger seat since Owen was the one driving them home.

Once they made their way out of the neighborhood, Olivia received a call and picked it up almost instantly. She gasped out her reply when she heard the person on the other end, “Come again? What’s wrong with Stephanie? Where is she?”

Immediately after she figured out the things going on, she hung up the call and urged, “One of the bodyguards I sent to keep an eye on Stephanie told me she had offended some sort of thugs! They’re currently surrounded by about twenty men at Mark Avenue! I’m afraid they can’t defend themselves! Hurry up and make our way there!”

Owen immediately accelerated the car. Meanwhile, Amelia’s mind was all over the place when she heard it. She thought it was about time for Stephanie to learn her lesson the hard way. Stephanie had never stopped picking on her ever since she got married to Oscar five years ago. Amelia could easily dismiss those since Stephanie was Oscar’s sister. However, she couldn’t take it anymore when Stephanie tried to murder Tony.

Unfortunately, Amelia was just another replaceable member of the family as compared to Stephanie who was an intermediate member of the Clintons. Olivia would never leave her daughter alone when her life was at stake.

When Amelia felt Oscar grasping her hand, she felt a sense of relief and finally regained her composure when she noticed his assuring smile.

On the other hand, Olivia, who had finally returned to her senses, recalled the sort of grudges Amelia and Stephanie held against one another.

She turned around and looked at her daughter-in-law with a diffident look. After much hesitation, she muttered, “Amelia, I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I can’t possibly leave my only daughter alone when she needs me.”

Amelia did a great job keeping her emotions to herself. She answered with a smile, “It’s fine, Mom.”

Olivia continued staring at Amelia with her face scrunched up. “Amelia, I know it doesn’t feel great, but-”

Her daughter-in-law interrupted her and asserted with a smile, “Mom, I’m fine. I’m not trying to blame you. You need to stop bringing it up. Otherwise, I’m going to feel guilty as well.”

Olivia took another peek at Amelia before glancing at Tony in between her arms. She suggested, “Why don’t you go return home with Oscar and Tony ahead of us? We’ll head over and check on Stephanie’s condition.”

Shaking her head, Amelia reassured, “We can’t afford to leave you and Dad alone. Why don’t you guys return home ahead of us instead? Oscar and I will head over to check on Stephanie.”

When Oscar caught Olivia looking at him in the eyes, he responded with a nod, assuring her everything would be fine.

Out of the blue, Owen broke the silence and insisted, “Just to be safe, we’ll head over together. Oscar, get our bodyguards to rush over to the scene at once.”

Oscar made a call and delivered his instruction as soon as the call got through. “Kurt, bring your team and rush to Mark Avenue as soon as possible. We’re currently on our way there.”

The moment he finished delivering his instructions, he hung up the call and looked in Owen’s direction.

He offered, “Dad, let me drive. I’ll get John to pick you and Mom up once we reach Mark Avenue.”

After much consideration, Owen thought that was the best for the sake of all. Once he pulled over, they alighted from the car and exchanged seats with one another.

Amelia was seated next to Oscar in the front passenger seat. Tony, who had been sleeping soundly, might have been roused from his sleep due to the sudden uproar. He started wailing in Olivia’s arms.

Olivia tried her best to pacify the wailing infant, but Tony showed no signs of stopping at all. Instead, he continued wailing at the top of his lungs.

Amelia couldn’t stand it anymore. She stretched her arms in an attempt to hold her son, but Olivia turned her down and said, “Just leave everything to me, Amelia.”

In spite of Olivia’s attempt to pacify the wailing infant, her effort was to no avail. Amelia instructed Oscar, “Get Kurt over since he’s the only one who can pacify Tony. Otherwise, he’s going to carry on and cry until he damages his vocal cord.”

Oscar reached for his phone as instructed, but Amelia stopped him when he was about to make the call. She said, “You need to keep your eyes on the road to keep all of us safe. I’ll talk to him.”

As soon as she got her hands on his phone, she made the call and asked, “Kurt, where are you?”
