Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462 Right Ways To Handle A Love Rival

After the trip to the amusement park, the relationship between Oscar and Anthony improved vastly. The little boy showed no sign of exhaustion. In fact, he was more energetic than before. During the ride back home, he was unable to sit still. Oscar, who was looking after him, did not know what to do with him.

The moment the three of them arrived in the neighborhood, they saw Kurt standing outside the entrance of the apartment.

Both Amelia and Oscar were taken aback. Anthony, on the other hand, was very eager to see Kurt. He jumped down from Oscar’s arms and threw himself into Kurt’s arms. “Daddy, you’re back!”

Kurt carried Tony in his arms, and the little boy smacked a passionate kiss on his cheeks. With his arms around Kurt’s neck, he asked, “Daddy, where have you gone to? Why were you away for so long?”

Kurt avoided Anthony’s question. Instead, he asked one back in return, “Have you been a good boy?”

“Yes, I always listen to Mommy. Now, I’m okay with Big Meanie. Just now, Big Meanie took me for a ride on the Ferris wheel.” Anthony looked very happy, and he continued, “Daddy, you have no idea how fun the Ferris wheel is. Big Meanie carried me, and we went up and down the Ferris wheel.”

Anthony rattled off his experience earlier on.

Kurt was upset. Looking at the animated way Anthony was talking about Oscar, he felt as though his child had been taken away from him. No matter how well he had treated Anthony in the past, Oscar was still his biological father. Blood would always be thicker than water.

Tons of thoughts raced through Kurt’s mind, but his stern face revealed none of the conflicts within him.

With Anthony in his arms, Kurt walked over to Oscar and greeted respectfully, “Boss.”

Oscar kept his eyes on Anthony, who was snugging in Kurt’s embrace, and responded calmly, “You’re back.”

Amelia was worried that things would become awkward, so she took out her house keys and said, “Kurt, it’s good now that you’re back. Since you have come here in the middle of the night, you must have something important to discuss with Oscar. Why don’t you come in?”

Kurt walked into the house with Anthony.

Once they were inside the house, Amelia took Anthony from Kurt and said, “Kurt, why don’t you go to the study with Oscar for your discussion? I’ll get a bowl of pasta ready for you. You look like you have endured a long journey. Knowing you, I’m sure you have not eaten yet.”

Kurt nodded.

Once both men were inside the study, Oscar got straight to the point. “Is everything done?”

“Boss, he has been dealt with. This is the book that we have found in his safe box. It contains the details of every transaction he ever had with the Golden Triangle drug lord behind Clinton Corporations’ back all these years.”

The book was not big, but it was pretty thick. Oscar took the book from Kurt and opened it. It was filled with numbers. Oscar’s eyes darkened, and Kurt could not tell what was on his mind.

“Kurt, well done.” Oscar patted him on the shoulders and praised him, which was rare.

Kurt was completely caught by surprise with the compliment.

“Thank you, boss. I’ll work harder in the future,” responded Kurt.

Oscar placed the book on the study table and both his hands behind his back. “There’s no need to be so formal with me. Otherwise, how can you be my rival in love?”

Kurt widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at Oscar’s back.

“Boss, I have never thought of stealing your woman. I’m also aware that Amelia will never fall for me. You’re the only man in her heart.” Kurt told the truth though he did sound dejected if one were to pay close attention.

A smile appeared on Oscar’s face. He turned around and walked right up to Kurt. Both men were of the same height, and their eyes met. Kurt could sense the danger coming from Oscar’s gaze.

“Kurt, you know your place well. That’s what I like most about you. I have plans to make you my right-hand man. I don’t blame you for the things that happened two years ago. After all, Amelia would have had a tough time raising Tony all by herself without your help. Nevertheless, I’m jealous that Amelia allowed you to leave with her. Compared to me, who has been her husband of five years, she treats you so much better.” It was hard to tell how Oscar truly felt.

Kurt dared not speak much. “I’m her bodyguard. Naturally, I will go whenever and wherever she goes.”

Oscar was taken aback and then laughed out loud. He smacked Kurt’s shoulders three times. As he did that, Kurt’s expression changed a little each time. Afterward, a trace of pain appeared on Kurt’s face.

“Does it hurt?” asked Oscar.

Kurt lowered his head and changed the topic. “Boss, thank you for the lesson.”

Oscar pouted his lips and found him boring.

“The people around me are so boring. Both Hugo and you are the same. Come on! Give me a smile.” Oscar’s casual request sounded like a difficult demand to Kurt. He was a bodyguard, not a clown.
