Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 484

Arriving at the Clinton residence, both of them got out of the car. Oscar grabbed Amelia's hand and whispered next to her ear, “Don't be scared. I'm here.”

Amelia chuckled. “Why are you making the Clinton residence sound like a wolf's den? Have you forgotten that I used to live here for five years? This place is filled with many memories of us together.” Even though some of them weren't that great...

Oscar managed to guess her thoughts and promised, “There will be more good memories of us together here.”

“Not, not just the two of us,” Amelia corrected and smiled. “There's also Tony, remember?”

Oscar couldn't help but tap her nose. “You're a mischievous one.”

“Come on, let's not keep Mom and Dad waiting.”

To Amelia's surprise, the atmosphere inside wasn't as somber as she expected when they entered the living room.

“Mommy.” Tony, who was playing with an airplane toy, ran over to her.

Amelia opened her arms and hugged him tightly.

After kissing her cheek, Tony asked, “Why did you take so long to pick me up?”

“I only got off work at six earlier. When Daddy came to pick me up, there was traffic on the road, which is why we're late.” Amelia glanced at her phone and noticed it was almost nine.

“Have you eaten, Mommy?”

Amelia shook her head.

Picking her son up, she approached Olivia and Owen and greeted them politely, “Mom, Dad.”

Perhaps it was because Tony was in Amelia's arms that Olivia didn't treat her coldly. Still, the older woman didn't have a joyous expression plastered on her face.

“Go ahead and have dinner,” Olivia said.

“Have you not eaten yet?” Amelia asked.

“It was getting late. When Tony ate, we ate with him as well. There's still some leftover for you and Oscar. Just ask the maids to heat it up for you.”

The maids heated up the food and served it to Amelia and Oscar. When both of them were finished, Tony was already dozing off in Olivia's arms.

Upon seeing that, Amelia rushed forward and suggested, “Let me take him. I'll put him to sleep.”

The older woman stayed silent as she handed the boy back to his mother.

Amelia sang a lullaby to put Tony to sleep.

Thereafter, Olivia asked the maids to carry Tony upstairs so that only the adults were left in the living room.

Her expression darkened as she spoke in a domineering manner. “I'm not going to make things difficult for you or keep hounding you about what happened two years ago on Tony's behalf, Amelia. However, you were still wrong when you selfishly took Tony away and separated him from me. Even if you apologize, you're still in the wrong. I'll never forgive you for being this selfish. You're Tony's mother. You can bring him here and back to your place if you like. I don't mind even if you have a meal here occasionally. But I have to say that you aren't the daughter-in-law of the Clintons.”

“I'm sorry for what happened back then, Mrs. Clinton. I'll do my best to make up for my mistake. Oscar and I really love each other. I'll give it my all to make you recognize me as the best daughter-in-law for the Clintons and Oscar's wife. I'm willing to help him out with any problems he has, whether it's related to work or family,” Amelia said sincerely with a smile.
