Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391 A Little Ungrateful

“Oscar, Amelia, your son is way too cute! It feels like I’m talking to a disgruntled old man trapped in a little boy’s body. Is he really only two years old? He’s so smart for his age!” James began to gush the moment he reached the mansion.

Oscar looked at Tony, who was still standing next to Kurt. As if throwing a tantrum, he grumbled, “Yeah, and all that goes toward bullying his own dad.”

James chuckled loudly. He had waited for far too long to see this side of Oscar.

Oscar glared at him and said, “This is funny to you, huh?”

James shook his head and said gleefully, “I just didn’t know you had this side to you. You used to be so determined and competitive. I can’t believe you’re actually losing to your own son.”

Oscar was much too lazy to continue dealing with James’ teasing.

Amelia listened to their conversation uneasily and was about to walk toward Oscar, but since the mansion was an unfamiliar environment, she nearly tripped and fell. Oscar jumped and hurriedly ran over to catch her.

“Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?” he asked urgently.

Kurt instinctively jerked toward her direction, but at the sight of Oscar catching her, he forced himself to stay in place.

Tony let go of Kurt’s hand and ran toward Amelia worriedly. “Mommy, are you okay?”

Amelia nodded and smiled. “I’m fine. Calm down, the two of you.”

Tony blocked Mommy from Oscar and pushed him away with his small hands as he shouted, “Go away, Big Meanie! The moment you came, Mommy stopped loving me and she’s ignoring Daddy too. You stole her away. I hate you!”

Oscar didn’t seem ruffled and knelt down. “Your mother nearly died when she tried to give birth to you. When you were finally born and the doctor brought you to me, I told myself that I wouldn’t get mad at you no matter what.”

Tony tilted his head, seemingly unable to understand what Oscar was saying.

Oscar pulled his son into his embrace and Tony almost immediately began squirming and struggling. “Let go of me, Big Meanie! Let go!”

Oscar was still perfectly calm and simply planted a soft kiss on Tony’s little porcelain face. “You really are my baby boy. You’re just like how I was when I was younger. I love you so much.”

Tony slipped out of his embrace and ran away as he glanced at Oscar. “Big Meanie.” Despite his words, he was looking at Oscar with just a hint of longing. Perhaps it was because of his natural instinct toward his dad, but he was starting to feel more affectionate toward Oscar.

Amelia was terrified that they would start quarreling again and said loudly, “Tony, don’t talk to your dad like that. Haven’t I taught you manners before? Don’t shout at adults. Have you forgotten all the lessons I’ve taught you?”

After completely cutting off the Clintons back then, Amelia had never brought Oscar up in front of Tony. That was why Tony thought Kurt was his real dad and not Oscar, who had suddenly appeared.

Amelia was feeling rather torn. Because of her own selfishness, her husband and her son were like fire and water.

Just then, James clapped his hands and said, “Let’s take a seat, everyone. I invented a new game. Let’s all play it together.”

As he spoke, he walked toward Tony and said, “Do you wanna play too, Tony? It’s especially fun for super-smart young kids like you.”

Tony blinked his large eyes, which had lit up in excitement. “Okay! Let’s play.”

James brought Tony away, but not before turning back to tilt his head teasingly at Oscar as if to say, Look, you may be the businessman here, but your kid still likes me more than you. James – 1, Oscar – 0.

James was practically glowing with pride, but Oscar couldn’t care less.

“Hugo, watch Tony for me. I’m going to bring Amelia upstairs.” After that, Oscar helped her up the stairs while Kurt’s gaze continued to follow her with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

After Oscar had brought her upstairs, Hugo gave Kurt a pat on the back while Tiffany said, “Kurt, can we step out for a second? I just want to talk.”
