Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442 Difficult Relationship

That night was one destined to be filled with wild thoughts. As Amelia lay on the bed and rested her head on Oscar’s head, she closed her eyes. However, her mind was overrun with messy thoughts.

She tossed around slightly, finding it hard to fall asleep.

She opened her eyes and closed them again repeatedly. However, the more she did that, the more awake she became. There was not a hint of sleepiness within her.

Oscar turned around, held the back of Amelia’s head and forced her to lean closer to him.

“You can’t fall asleep?” asked Oscar softly.

Raising her head from his arms, Amelia asked apologetically, “Did I wake you up?”

Oscar opened his eyes and replied, “No. If you can’t sleep, let’s talk.”

Smiling, Amelia said, “Go to sleep. You still have work tomorrow! I just can’t fall asleep because of some issues weighing on my mind. Since you’re planning to stay awake because of me, I’ve figured everything out. Sleep now!”

“You silly girl,” mumbled Oscar with a sigh, though his eyes were filled with affection. “You always choose to shoulder all your burdens alone. Don’t forget that I’m your man! I can split the load and bear it with you.”

Amelia hugged his waist and whispered, “I know.”

“You do, but even when something happens, you still choose to face it alone. Sometimes, I wish that you can rely on me more. It’ll make me feel more accomplished too.” Oscar sighed, but his tone was filled with affection. “When I married you, I was really satisfied with how untroublesome and independent you were. You had never made me worry. However, my attitude is now different. I wish that you’d rely on me more. This is probably the difference between loving and not loving someone.”

Amelia’s heart skipped a beat. She did not realize that Oscar had so many thoughts on his mind.

“I’m sorry.”

Sighing, Oscar stroked her forehead and said, “I’m not trying to blame you. I just want you to rely on me willingly when you’re tired, instead of shouldering everything on your own.”

“Okay,” promised Amelia solemnly after a long time.

Oscar kissed her forehead and said, “Get some sleep.”

Burying her head against his chest, Amelia felt relieved and quickly fell asleep. While Oscar gazed at her sleeping face, a smile formed on his lips. He hugged her tightly and fell asleep too.

After eating breakfast the next morning, Oscar planted a kiss on Amelia’s lips and said, “Go to work and I’ll send Tony to the Clinton residence. Don’t worry, I’ll settle this properly.”

Amelia was slightly hesitant. “Why don’t I go with you?”

“It’s fine.”

“Are you sure that you can do it on your own?”

“Trust me.”

Amelia had no choice but to agree.

The family of three went downstairs. Still worried, Amelia reminded Tony, “Tony, listen to Daddy and don’t kick up a fuss, okay? Otherwise, I’ll be really sad.”

Tony raised his head and glanced at Oscar.

“Okay, Mommy,” replied Tony as he pouted.

“I’m going to work now. We’ll bring you to the amusement park on Saturday,” promised Amelia.

Tony grabbed her pinky. As if he was afraid that she would be angry, he whispered, “Mommy, can we ask Daddy to come too? I haven’t seen him for so many days and I miss him a lot.”

Amelia was stunned. People often said that kids were playful and forgetful, but she did not expect Tony to be so reliant on Kurt. Even though they were not biologically related, their relationship was very intimate.

Amelia glanced at Oscar. Understanding the look in her eyes, he spoke up on her behalf, “Tony, your godfather is away to help me with work. He’ll come back a few days later. I promise you that I’ll ask him to take you to the amusement park after he returns, okay? It’ll just be the two of you and you can enjoy yourself to your heart’s content! How’s that?”

“Mommy too!” Tony tried to negotiate.

Oscar hugged Amelia and replied, “Your mommy’s mine, so she can’t go. If you continue negotiating, I’ll make sure that you won’t see your godfather ever again.”

Tony stared back at Oscar. Eventually succumbing to his threats, then he entered the car with his head drooped.

Amelia glanced at him worriedly and asked, “Oscar, are we too harsh on Tony? He’s just a child.”

“Don’t worry. This is something that he has to go through. Since I’ve been missing for two years of his childhood, it’s reasonable that he’s not close to me. However, blood is thicker than water. One day, he’ll see me as his hero,” reassured Oscar confidently.

Amelia chuckled.

“Oscar, I’ve never realized how shameless you can be.”

“If I’m not shameless, would you have fallen in love with me?”

Amelia found herself at a loss for words.

“Go to work! I’ll send Tony over. After attending a meeting on one of the company’s projects, I’ll be done with work. I’ll take you and Tony out to a new restaurant for dinner tonight. The dishes are pretty authentic, so both of you will probably like it,” said Oscar.

“Be careful on your way there. I’m going now. “

After Amelia left, Oscar drove away too.

During the drive, Tony leaned forward to the front seats and said sulkily, “Big Meanie, I’m only listening to you because I don’t want Mommy to be angry or sad. Don’t think that I like you!”

“That’s what I thought too. As expected of father and son! Even our thoughts are the same.”
