Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Too Much Love

“I’m overbearing?” Olivia’s chest tightened in anger. She never knew it would bug her so much to see her son be so protective of his wife. “Oscar, how dare you reprimand me for her sake? Forget it. You’re all grown up now. You won’t listen to me anymore. Take her away and leave Tony behind.”

Oscar shot Olivia, who wasn’t about to give up anytime soon, an exasperated look. “Mom, Tony hasn’t familiarised himself with you. He’s going to cry if he doesn’t see Amelia when he wakes up.”

“We have a lot of maids here. They will know how to calm him down when he cries. Moreover, we’re his grandparents. He will come to terms with us eventually even though it’s been two years,” Olivia said confidently.

Amelia slipped out of Oscar’s embrace. She turned to Olivia and said, “Mom, Tony’s afraid of strangers. He will cry if he doesn’t see us around when he’s in an unfamiliar place. I want to bring him home first. I can send him over again first thing tomorrow.”

“Amelia, you’re planning to leave with Tony without a word again, aren’t you?” Olivia asked warily. “I’m telling you, don’t even think of taking Tony away from us again now that’s he back here with us.”

Amelia gave Oscar an exasperated look.

In the end, they relented. Oscar sent Amelia back to their apartment while Kurt stayed behind in the Clinton residence. He had no reason to stay behind as Amelia’s bodyguard anymore now that she was back together with Oscar.

In the car, Amelia leaned back against the passenger seat and kept quiet on the way back to the apartment.

Oscar reached out and grabbed Amelia’s hand. “Don’t worry, I will send you back to visit Tony first thing tomorrow,” he consoled.

Amelia gave him a look and sighed. “Looks like Mom misunderstood me big time. No matter how mad Mom was, she would never speak so harshly to me. But now, she must be super mad at me. She used to be so kind and gentle but goes into hysterics whenever she sees me now. Oscar, am I that bad?”

Oscar tickled her palm and smiled. “Come on. My wife is better than this. What? You’re not backing out when the war has just begun, are you?”

Amelia burst into laughter upon his words. However, her heart still felt heavy. She couldn’t shake off the fact that she was the cause of Olivia’s change in temperament. Olivia’s change scared her. After all, how could someone that used to be so kind and gentle two years ago turn into such an unreasonable woman? It totally caught her off guard.

“I’m not backing out. It’s just that it scares me to see Mom like that. Was the blow really that devastating for her when I took Tony away?” Amelia licked her lips and said guiltily.

Oscar let go of her hand and caressed her hair. “It’s all in the past now. Don’t think too much of it.”

Amelia smiled in response. She was well aware that the problem would still exist even if one didn’t mention it. Fixing a broken relationship would require a lot of time and effort. Her relationship with Olivia was a broken one.

Back then, she failed to take the Clintons into account when she took Tony away without a word. She had turned into the unreasonable one when she left even though she was right in the first place.

“Oscar, I’m sorry.” Amelia lowered her head and apologized.

Oscar gave her a look as a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “What are you apologizing for?”

“I insisted on taking Tony away back then. That must have put you in a difficult situation. So I owe you an apology.” Amelia placed her hand on her knee and said.

Oscar patted her head and laughed. “You silly woman!”

Tears welled up in Amelia’s eyes when Oscar drove into the neighborhood. It’s been two years already.

Oscar parked the car, removed his seatbelt, and proceeded to remove Amelia’s seatbelt. “Let’s go.” He smiled.

Amelia grabbed Oscar, who was about to alight the car. She hesitated for a bit and asked, “Oscar, did you and Cassie… No, I mean, did you and Isabella really…”
