Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 610

Chapter 610 Let Her Leave

Eleanor ran up to Benjamin the moment he came in through the door with Sean. She then slapped him hard across the face before they even realized what was going on, leaving them both frozen in shock and confusion.

“Benjamin, I actually thought you had some humanity left in you despite your cruel behavior, but I was wrong! Even a f*cking animal has more humanity than you do!” Eleanor shouted through clenched teeth.

Fearing that Benjamin would hit her back, Sean quickly stepped between them as he asked, “What’s gotten into you, Mom?”

“Go to your room, Sean! This is between me and your father! I don’t need any of you kids getting involved in our conflict!” Eleanor ordered aggressively.

Sean frowned as he tried to talk her out of it, “Calm down, Mom. We’re a family, remember? We can talk about this! There’s no need to make things awkward like this—”

“Go to your room, Sean! Don’t make me say that again!” Eleanor cut him off angrily.

Unsure of what to do, Sean fell silent on the spot.

“Go to your room, Sean. I’ll see what your mom has to say to me,” Benjamin said coldly with a frown.

Sean hesitated for a bit, but did as told anyway.

The look in Benjamin’s eyes had turned gloomy when he rubbed his cheek, but he forced himself to remain calm as he asked, “Mind explaining what this is all about, Eleanor?”

“Why did you do it? Lia was so young at the time! How could you just hand her over to someone else? I’ve missed her so much over the years that I nearly went crazy!” Eleanor asked with a conflicted look on her face.

Benjamin froze when he heard that. He knew exactly what she meant, but decided to play dumb and asked, “What are you going on about, Eleanor?”

“Drop the act, Benjamin! I know the truth! You were the one who sent Lia away back then! Even a vicious tiger would never eat its own cubs, but you just gave your daughter away like she means nothing at all! Do you have any idea how much Lia has suffered over the years?”

“She went missing on her own. I did have my men go search for her, but they weren’t able to find her. I can’t believe you’d go as far as suspecting me just over someone else’s baseless accusations, Eleanor. We have been married for over thirty years. Does our marriage not mean more than a stranger’s words?” Benjamin replied calmly.

“Stop lying to me! If there’s one thing I regret doing the most, it’s marrying you!” Eleanor shouted at the top of her lungs.

Benjamin’s expression grew icy-cold instantly. “What did you just say to me?”

“I said, I regret marrying you! I wouldn’t have to suffer for so long if I had married someone else instead! The mere sight of your face disgusts me to no end!”

Benjamin stepped forward and grabbed her by the wrist as he threatened, “I dare you to say that one more time.”

“It won’t make a difference even if I say it a hundred times more! You disgust me!” Eleanor snapped back at him stubbornly.

“Eleanor, you’ve been throwing a tantrum for a few days now. It’s time to stop this nonsense. Come on, let’s go home,” Benjamin said while giving her hand a squeeze.

Eleanor tried to brush his hand off with all of her might, but his grip was ridiculously firm.

“Let go!”

Benjamin pulled her into his arms. “I told you, I won’t let go of you ever again. Now, now… Stop this nonsense and come home with me, Eleanor. I promise I won’t do anything to her.”

Eleanor summoned every ounce of strength she had in her to shove him off.

“You’re crazy!” she shouted while storming toward the door, only to see two bodyguards standing outside after opening it.

“Bring her to me!” Benjamin ordered while sitting down on the couch.

“Sorry about this, Mrs. Hutton,” they mumbled as they forcefully dragged Eleanor back toward him.

Noticing how Eleanor was still glaring daggers at him, Benjamin cleared his throat and said casually, “Eleanor, you’ve already thrown your tantrum and lashed out at me. It’s about time you put an end to this nonsense and come home with me. You know how much I hate it when you bring up divorce like that, don’t you? We have become one through marriage, so you can forget about leaving my side ever again. I don’t like Amelia Winters, and I will never allow her into our household, so you can forget about her before I really get mad at you.”

Eleanor was so overwhelmed by a mixture of hatred and anger that she turned around and walked off without saying a word.

She then made her way up the stairs and went straight into Sean’s bedroom.

“Hey, Mom,” Sean greeted her when he saw her.

“I’m leaving this place. Help me pack my bags.”

Instead of bombarding her with a ton of questions, Sean simply replied, “Okay.”

Eleanor stared at him in confusion and suspicion. “Aren’t you going to try and stop me?”

“You’ve already made up your mind, haven’t you? As your son, I’ll support whatever decision you make. But, are you sure you’ve thought this through?” Sean asked with a helpless smile.

“Yeah, I have.” Eleanor replied with a nod after a brief pause.

“You will cut ties with us even though Amelia Winters doesn’t intend on reuniting with you?”
