Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574 In Her Face

Amelia walked toward her and saw Eleanor’s teary eyes. Oscar must’ve said something to her! She could not help but furrow her brows when she asked, “Are you okay, Mrs. Hutton?”

Eleanor shook her head and answered, “I’m fine. I’m getting a bit homesick, that’s all. Lia, I shouldn’t be bothering you any longer. I’ll go back to the Hutton residence tomorrow.”

Amelia looked at her in shock.

Seeing that, Eleanor flashed a faint smile and said, “Are you surprised to see me changing my mind all of a sudden? Oscar is right, though. Whatever I have going on with the Hutton family is none of your concern, so I shouldn’t drag you into it. Once I’ve settled the matters at home, I’ll go over to Tayhaven to find you.”

When Amelia heard that, various emotions washed across her heart. “Mrs. Hutton, have you thought it through?”

Eleanor nodded in response.

“In that case, I’m not going to say anything further. However, marriage shouldn’t be taken lightly. If there’s a slight chance of maintaining it, divorce shouldn’t be an option. On the other hand, if things are beyond repair, I’ll support your decision,” Amelia uttered sincerely.

Eleanor nodded, yet she could not help but look at Amelia dazedly.

Eleanor missed her daughter dearly for over twenty years since they had separated from each other. The moment she finally saw her again, she did not hesitate to tear her own family apart just because of her.

She then could not control herself and held Amelia’s face. Like a loving mother, she said, “Lia, you look just like me. When I look at you now, it’s as if I’m looking at my younger self. Wait for me, okay? Once I’ve settled the matters with the Hutton family, I’ll go over. I’ll take care of you and your child. Besides, I’ll also cook delicious meals for you.”

Somehow, Amelia was touched upon hearing that. “Mrs. Hutton, I—”

Eleanor interrupted her and pleaded, “Please don’t push me away right away, Lia. It’d break my heart. There were various reasons I didn’t dare to acknowledge you prior to this. Ever since your disappearance, I’ve been missing you dearly. When I did, my heart would ache. Hence, please give me a chance to make it up to you. I’ll try my best at being a responsible mother again.”

Again, Amelia was deeply moved by her words.

Perhaps it was because Amelia was a mother herself. She knew how important a child was to a mother. At times, out of motherly love, one would not hesitate to risk her own life for her child.

Amelia then reached out her arms and hugged Eleanor affectionately. “Mrs. Hutton, please forgive me for not being able to address you as my mom. It has been way too long. Even if you’re my mom, I can’t bring myself to address you accordingly out of the blue. However, I’ve never held anything against you. Instead, I’m rather grateful. Really. In you, I could truly feel the unconditional love of an elder.”

As soon as Eleanor heard that, tears streamed down her cheeks.

She hugged Amelia tightly and sobbed. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for leaving you alone for the past twenty-odd years. I’ve always felt guilt in my heart. When I saw you that time, I didn’t have the courage to acknowledge you. I know you must hate me for that.”

Amelia patted her back gently in response.

After crying for a few minutes, Eleanor gradually calmed herself down and only wept.

Amelia Winters wiped the tears off of her face and uttered softly, “Mrs. Hutton, I’ll call Amelia Hutton and get her to come to fetch you.”

Eleanor did not oppose it. “Okay.”

After settling Eleanor down, Amelia Winters gave Amelia Hutton a call.

Amelia Hutton arrived in a rush about an hour later. When she arrived, she pounced on Amelia Winters and asked, “Amy, where’s my mom?”

Amelia Winters led her into the house. Amelia Hutton then breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Eleanor was unharmed.

“Luckily you’re all right, Mom. I’ve been worried sick over the past few days.” Amelia Hutton cried and laughed at the same time.

Eleanor raised her hand and ran it through Amelia Hutton’s hair. When she was doing that, a hint of distrait appeared in her gentle gaze.

“I’m okay. Don’t worry,” Eleanor replied.
