Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Throwing A Tantrum

Amelia put on a stern look and tried her best to look at Tony. “Tony, if you keep talking nonsense, I’m going to get angry.”

Hearing that, Tony pouted. “Daddies and mommies should stay together,” he whispered. “That’s how it’s supposed to be. But you and daddy aren’t staying together, and you guys never even hold hands. You’re not like the other couples.”

Amelia could feel a migraine working its way up her head. She had no idea how a two-year-old toddler could possibly know anything about relationships. He’s already great with numbers, and he can think really fast. I should really get him tested and see if he’s a genius or something.

If anyone were to ask her how she felt about dealing with a two-year-old toddler, she would tell them that being smart was fine for children, but not if they were too smart. It would make her life that much more difficult.

Amelia waved at Tony, motioning him to come over to her. Once the boy did as he was told, she hunkered down to look at him eye to eye.

“Anthony, I need to make something clear,” Amelia uttered, still as stern as ever. “Your godfather and I are just friends. Good friends, yes, but that doesn’t mean we’re a couple. But he is one of the most important people in my life, so stop trying to match us up. It’ll make things awkward for the both of us, all right?”

Anthony might be smart, but he was still just a child. He was unable to comprehend the machinations of the adult world. The boy looked at his mother naively. “But the TV shows always say that only a couple would live together. Since you and Daddy are living under the same roof, why doesn’t that make you a couple?”

Hearing that, Amelia could feel her migraine worsen. God. All these TV shows and their stupid tropes. I should really watch what they air from now on. Amelia gave it some thought before answering, “Tony, I’m going to cut your TV time. Not everything they tell you in the shows is true.”

Anthony’s eyes were glinting brightly, but there was confusion and slight sadness within them. He turned around to Kurt—who was silent—and asked, “Daddy, are you really not gonna marry Mommy?”

Kurt tensed up a little as he stole a glance at Amelia. Noticing the look of struggle on her face, he felt sad about it. Even so, he replied, “I will marry your mother, Tony. That is a promise.”

Anthony’s eyes sparkled smugly. Since Amelia was looking elsewhere, he gave Kurt a thumbs up. Good one, Daddy! Keep this up, and Mommy will be yours in no time.

Amelia noticed what Anthony was doing, and she had to admit that her boy had turned out to be quite the mischievous character.

Tony leaned back against Amelia. “Daddy said he’s going to woo you, Mommy. You can’t say no, all right? I like him, and I want us to be together. I don’t want any other guy to take you away. I just want Daddy to be your husband.”

Even though Amelia looked annoyed, she could not tell the ugly truth right in front of Kurt. The latter had helped her a lot, so she could not just brush it off and say he was just a good friend. She had accepted all his help, but she could never take it for granted.

Now that Anthony was matching them up, Amelia realized she had just gotten herself into a sticky situation.

She was occupied by her own thoughts and didn’t eat much, much to Kurt’s worry. “Oh, you don’t like these, Amelia? Why don’t I make you a plate of pasta then?”

Shaking her head, Amelia responded, “It’s fine. I just don’t feel like eating, that’s all. You guys go ahead.”

Anthony looked up and asked sweetly, “Did I make you angry, Mommy?”

“Not at all, sweetie.” Amelia smiled. “Dig in. I’ll stay here with you.”

Anthony nodded.

After lunch, Amelia got Anthony to go to bed. Then she asked Tiffany to take her out and ask Kurt to have a seat. It was time to have their first honest talk.

“Don’t take what I said to heart, Kurt. You’ve helped a ton over this year and a half, and you’re like family to me. But now that I’m blind, all I want to do is raise Tony up. I’m not interested in getting into any relationship at the moment. After all, I can’t even take care of myself, so it’s best I don’t drag anyone down with me into this mess,” she said.
