Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613 I Do Not Want To Accept Her

Everyone remained quiet as they had dinner. As Amelia grabbed a napkin and wiped Tony’s lips for him, she asked, “Is the food today to your liking, Mrs. Hutton?”

Eleanor was distracted that day, so she didn’t react to Amelia’s words right away. Instead, she murmured a response a few seconds later.

Amelia became a little worried. “Mrs. Hutton, are you feeling unwell?”

Only then did Eleanor come back around. She instinctively turned to Oscar and seemed too troubled to say anything.

Amelia sensed that Eleanor was being wary of Oscar, so the former strategized before turning her attention to Oscar. “Oscar, please take Tony out for a walk. He ate a little too much today, so he should burn off some calories or he will become too plump.”

“Amelia, I can babysit for you. I haven’t had the chance to interact much with him, so I’d like to spend more time with him,” offered Eleanor hurriedly.

Amelia grinned and replied, “There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I’d like to chat with you today. Is that okay?”

Eleanor couldn’t help grinning when she heard that. She was so excited that she asked, “Do you really want to chat with me?”

Amelia nodded.

Oscar inched toward Amelia and pecked her cheek. “I’ll take Tony out. Come join us after your conversation. All three of us can go to the park together.”

Amelia nodded.

Oscar held Tony’s hand, and they left home together.

Amelia poured Eleanor a glass of warm water, then smiled. “Let’s talk, Mrs. Hutton.”

Eleanor stared lovingly like a mother. “Okay.”

“I’ll be straightforward, Mrs. Hutton. As of now, I have no intention of accepting you as my mother. Perhaps we are related by blood, but I will not return to the Hutton family, and I hope you will not do anything impulsive for my sake,” said Amelia right away to rip out the band-aid.

Eleanor’s expression took a sharp change.

“Amelia, did someone say something to you?” asked Eleanor in a worried tone.

Amelia nodded and answered, “Your husband called me and said that you want a divorce. Your marriage is yours to deal with, but I do not wish to be the trigger that leads to your divorce.”

“Amelia, don’t overthink things. My marriage is already hanging on a thread, and there is no saving it anymore,” replied Eleanor nervously to explain the situation.

Amelia shifted her gaze down and thought about it. A hint of complex emotions flashed past her eyes.

“Amelia, is this because I pushed too hard?” asked Eleanor cautiously.

Amelia’s eyelid fluttered a little. She looked up and said, “You are a wonderful person, Mrs. Hutton. It’s just… You sometimes put a lot of pressure on me. We may be related by blood, but I’m sorry to say that we have been separated for over twenty years. We’re practically strangers now, and I just can’t see you as family. I might even feel least about you than I do the other members of the Hutton family.”

Eleanor turned pale. She grabbed a glass of water, but her hands were trembling because she was too heartbroken. That caused the water to spill all over her hand.

Amelia quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe Eleanor’s hand. “Mrs. Hutton, are you okay? Did the water scald you?”

Eleanor held Amelia’s hand quickly and insisted, “It’s fine if you see me as a stranger now, Amelia. I will spend more time with you, and you will slowly get used to me. It’s also okay if you don’t want to call me your mother. I won’t force you to do that. All I ask is that you not push me away. It took me so long to find you, and I can’t bear to lose you again because I truly love you, and you are my heart and soul.”

Amelia simply felt troubled. She didn’t feel any love for Eleanor, and if she had a choice, she would pick the Winters family as her relative. Perhaps that was a result of her craving their attention ever since she was a kid.

“Don’t be like that, Mrs. Hutton,” said Amelia cautiously.

Eleanor sat back down on the couch and buried her face in her hands. She seemed a little depressed when she sat there.

Amelia’s lips parted, but she didn’t know what she should say to offer some comfort.
