Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 550

Chapter 550 Kids Shouldn’t Lie

When the banquet ended, Carol wanted to speak a few words with Olivia, but Tony was with the latter as he said, “Grandma, I don’t like that old woman. She’s fierce.”

Upon hearing his words, Olivia’s attitude became distant instantly.

“Isabella, you should go home with your mom first. It’s getting late. The kid needs to rest. I’ll invite you guys over again next time.” Olivia ordered them to leave.

Isabella tried to speak. “Mrs. Clinton, I-”

“Isabella, be good a good girl, and bring your mom home first. We’ll talk some other day. Tony is feeling sleepy already.” Olivia carried Tony in her arms as she said, “I’ll bring Tony up to sleep now. Let me ask the chauffeur to send you guys home.”

Having heard that, there wasn’t much else Carol and Isabella could say to stay around. They felt uneasy somehow and left resentfully.

When everyone left, Olivia said to Oscar, “It’s late. You guys can stay overnight here. Your sister rarely comes home since she’s in a relationship, and she won’t listen to my advice. Every one of you always makes me worried.”

“Thank you, Mom.”

With Tony in her arms, Olivia said, “Tony will sleep with me tonight.”

With that said, she carried Tony upstairs without looking at Amelia. Leaning against Olivia’s shoulder, Tony waved at his mother and said in a mellow voice, “Good night, Mommy.”

Smiling, Amelia waved back at him and said, “Goodnight.”

Olivia hastened her pace.

Everyone went to rest when the housekeeper finished cleaning the living room. Then, a bodyguard came in to report the conversation between the mother and the daughter of the Walker family.

Oscar’s face darkened. He waved his hand. “Got it. You may leave.”

When the bodyguard left, Oscar put his arms around Amelia’s shoulder and said, “We’ll talk upstairs.”

Entering the bedroom, Amelia frowned. “The mother and daughter of the Walker family want to do something to Tony? No way, Oscar. I have to watch Tony.”

Oscar pulled her into his embrace. Then, the two walked toward the bedside and took a seat. He put Amelia on his legs and comforted her, “Don’t worry. Relax. There are many people protecting Tony secretly. Only the fools would try to do something to him. He’s my son. It’s not easy for anyone to hurt him.”

“But-”

“There’s no but. Trust me. I won’t let anyone hurt our son.”

Amelia looked into Oscar’s eyes. When their eyes met, all her worries miraculously dissipated at once.

“I trust you.” Her words showed the complete trust she gave to the man.

Oscar broke into a smile. “Let’s go to bed, then.”

Amelia nodded in response.

The two changed into pajamas. Amelia went to the bathroom to remove her makeup and took a hot shower before they lay on the bed together.

Oscar kissed her hair and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll deal with the Walker family myself. I’ll also wait until Stephanie marries into their family and make her suffer. She’ll have a taste of her medicine.”

Amelia turned her body over and looked up into the man’s eyes.

“Why? Do you think I’m cruel to even go against my sister?” Oscar rubbed her nose, feeling amused.

Amelia nodded.

“From the moment she hired someone to hit you with the car, she’s no longer my sister. In my heart, you are the first. Tony and my parents come later. As for Stephanie, I’ve said that I spared her because it’s not the time yet. When the time comes, I’ll give her a fatal blow to let her have a taste of her failed marriage. When she gets divorced, it’ll be impossible for her to show off in our family anymore,” Oscar said nonchalantly.

Amelia looked at him in silence. She had only realized that Oscar was crueler than she thought, yet he was also more loving than she imagined. The man was paradoxical. He was cool and ruthless. Yet, he was also gentle. Nonetheless, his gentleness was only reserved for the important people in his heart. Other people could only see his ruthless side.

“Oscar, I find that you’re multi-faceted. You are ruthless yet gentle, cool yet loving. You’re unpredictable. Sometimes, even I have forgotten which one is the real you,” Amelia said, caressing his face.

“You don’t like it?”

“No. I like you no matter what.”

Oscar pulled her into his embrace. His chin pressed against her head. Softly, he said, “Let’s sleep.”

Amelia adjusted to a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes. She fell into deep slumber soon.

Staring at her beautiful face, Oscar muttered, “Sleep tight. You have me. I won’t let anyone hurt you and our son.”

Slowly, he fell asleep, too, hugging his beloved partner.

The next morning, Oscar planned to send Amelia to work. But, the latter received a call from the company, saying that there would be a power outage on that day. Hence, everyone was given a day off.
