Chapter 466 Affection
Oscar ignored the people in the living room when he got home and placed a kiss on Amelia’s lips when she opened the door for him. He then pushed his tongue past her teeth and deepened the kiss.
She couldn’t help but get immersed in the kiss and subconsciously let out a moan in the process.
Envy and jealousy flashed across Rory’s eyes as she and the others in the living room watched them kiss. Eva, on the other hand, started clapping excitedly and whistled at them. “Woohoo! You’re so cool, Oscar! Go on, press Amelia against the wall and give her an even more passionate kiss. I don’t mind it even if you were to do the deed right now. I can record everything and post it online to get some money. With a handsome man and a beautiful woman like you guys, I’m sure I’ll be able to earn a lot. What’s more, you’re even the heir of Clinton Corporations.”
Everyone turned to look at her, but she was still utterly entertained by her cousin, totally unaware of their gazes.
Amelia finally snapped out of it and quickly pushed Oscar away. Her face was flushed red as she reached up to tidy her hair that wasn’t even messy. Avoiding the man’s gaze, she then said, “We have guests.” Once she was done speaking, she walked over to Eva and the others.
Unfortunately, her cousin was such a dense person that she didn’t notice how awkward things had become. “Your face is so red, Amelia. But you look better with your face like that. I think you look much prettier than the celebrities on TV. Oh, no. What should I do? I’m so captivated by you.”
Amelia could feel her face burn with embarrassment. Ugh, Eva. You just had to rub salt on my wound. I’m already in my thirties. How could I kiss Oscar in front of so many people? How embarrassing.
She wanted to find a hole and bury herself.
Tony chimed in suddenly, “You look the best with your cheeks red, Mommy. You look like a pretty fairy.”
The woman’s face reddened further when she heard that.
Taking in a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down as she looked up at everyone in the living room. “I’m going to see if the water has boiled.”
“Is your mind still on the kiss, Amelia? You’re not boiling any water in there,” Eva reminded with a laugh. Amelia’s just too cute blushing like that. It makes me want to tease her even more.
The former took a sideways glance at her, the blush on her face finally fading a little.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll bring you guys some tea,” she said graciously.
After Amelia left for the kitchen, Eva turned to Oscar and said, “You were so cool, Oscar. I can’t believe you kissed her in front of so many people. You really couldn’t resist the temptation, huh?”
Hearing that, the man’s lips tilted upward into a smile as he said, “Watch and learn. You might be able to use it someday.”
“Of course. You might even have to teach me a few tricks next time.”
Oscar didn’t respond to that. Instead, he took a seat on the couch and turned to Julian.
“When did you come, Julian?” he asked.
“Not too long ago. Amelia has been home for quite some time now, so I should at least come to see the little one. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that I exist.”
“Enough with that nonsense. There’s no need for the pleasantries between us. Amelia spent quite some time and effort looking for you. She just told me that she wanted to treat you to some homecooked food yesterday, but here you are, showing up uninvited.”
“Really?”
“There’s no need for me to lie to you.”
Julian smiled upon hearing that.
A moment later, Molly returned from getting groceries. He quickly went up to help her. Taking the bags of groceries from her hands, he said sweetly, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Molly. I’ve missed you.”
She smiled endearingly at him as she said, “You seem to have gotten more handsome over the past few years, Mr. Hayes. I almost couldn’t recognize you. Do you have a girlfriend yet? Mr. Clinton has already gotten married and has a child now. You should hurry up too. You shouldn’t lose to him.”
“Oscar has had his life planned out since he was young, Molly. He made plans on when he should finish his studies and when to take his career to the next level. All of us thought that he would be the last to get married. Who would have thought that not only does he have a wife, but he even has a son now? He’s already accomplished so much when he’s only thirty years old. None of us can ever be compared to him, Molly,” Julian replied nonchalantly.
Hearing that, Molly smiled from ear to ear as if someone had just praised her son.
“It’s been years but it seems like you’re still good with your words. I’ll make sure to cook the best dishes for you since you’re here. If I remember correctly, you love eating grilled prawns, don’t you?”
A blissful expression surfaced on Julian’s face as though the plate of grilled prawns were already in front of him.
“Your grilled prawns are the best. I’m already drooling at the thought of them!”
The older woman giggled at his response. Then, giving him a pat on his arm, she said, “It seems like you still love joking around. You should hurry up and find a girlfriend so she can joke around with you.”
“Don’t worry, Molly. I’m going to make it my priority now.”
After Juliane left the groceries in the kitchen and came back out again, Oscar said, “Looks like your skill of hitting on girls hasn’t grown rusty after all these years.”
