Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675 Not Great

Amelia was cleaning up the house when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and saw that it was Sean and Amelia Hutton.

“Oh, it’s you two. Come in.” Amelia Winters stepped aside and let them in.

Eleanor was playing with Tony when she saw her children. Since they didn’t appear to be unhappy, she pulled them closer and smiled. “Amelia, Sean, let me introduce you two to your eldest sister. Lia has acknowledged me as her mother, so you two have to treat her well as her younger siblings.”

A strange look flashed across Sean’s eyes while Amelia Hutton was getting a little emotional. She pushed Eleanor’s hand aside and said, “Why did you acknowledge Mom now? You told me yesterday that you can’t get closer to her, but now you’re acknowledging her? Are you playing me like a fiddle?”

Eleanor’s expression darkened. “What are you doing, Amelia? Aren’t you happy that your sister acknowledged me?”

Amelia Hutton glared at Amelia Winters.

Sean pulled her sister over and smiled. “Congratulations, Mom. Both of us are happy to have an older sister.”

Eleanor still looked quite mad.

Amelia Hutton’s anger reached its peak as she uttered, “I disagree, Mom.”

“What are you saying, Amelia? You were the one who tested our DNAs and brought me to meet her. What’s up with this attitude now?” Eleanor asked furiously.

“I agreed to take you to meet her initially because I didn’t want you to wallow in your regret. I didn’t expect you to abandon the Hutton family, me, and Sean!”

Tony, who was watching the argument, hugged his mother and complained, “Ms. Hutton is so noisy, Mommy. I don’t like it.”

It was then everyone realize there was a kid in the room.

Eleanor approached him and comforted him, “Your aunt and I are just doing a play right now, Tony. No need to be afraid. I’ll stop arguing with her now and take you somewhere else to play, okay?”

Instead of following her, Tony wrapped his arms around his mother’s neck. “I don’t like people arguing with each other, Mommy. Granny being here will attract a lot of people I don’t like.”

That made Eleanor feel awkward.

Amelia Winters patted his back and said gently, “Granny will be sad if you say that. Come on, apologize to Granny.”

Tony remained unmoved. He hated the Huttons, indeed.

Amelia Winters looked at Eleanor apologetically. “Don’t mind him, Mom. I think he’s just shocked.”

“Is it serious?”

“Nothing serious. I’ll take him upstairs first. You can chat with them in the meantime.”

Once Amelia Winters and Tony headed upstairs, Eleanor glared at Amelia Hutton. Her chest was heaving up and down because of her anger. I’ve just reunited with my eldest daughter. I can’t believe my youngest one is going to ruin it because she doesn’t watch her mouth!

“Are you trying to piss me off, Amelia?” Eleanor chided.

Amelia Hutton was shocked.

Sean played the role of mediator as he said, “That’s not what Amelia is trying to do, Mom. It’s just hard for her to accept that you’re willing to abandon the Hutton family for our older sister. You’re not giving her enough care compared to our older sister, which is why she’s feeling upset. Please, just calm down and don’t damage your relationship with her any further.”

Even still, Eleanor’s rage was hard to put out.

Sean wanted to help her sit on the couch, but unexpectedly, she shoved his hand away.

She said, “Take your sister and go back home first.”

Sean’s hand froze in midair.

He smiled bitterly. “Are you chasing me and Amelia away, Mom?”

“This is Lia’s home. You two shouldn’t be here. Go back first.” The older woman walked to the front door and opened it.

Amelia Hutton and Sean had no choice but to leave gloomily.

Inside the elevator, Amelia Hutton couldn’t help but cry, “Mom’s too mean, Sean. How could she abandon us for Amelia Winters?”

Sean had a headache.

“Don’t be like that, Amelia. Mom’s probably just a little angry. She’ll be better after one or two days.”

“What do you mean by that? She’s clearly trying to cut us out of her life! I’ve never seen such a cold-hearted mother. Amelia Winters is her daughter, but we aren’t?” The more she spoke, the sadder she became.

Sean wasn’t sure how to comfort her at that point.

In his heart, he didn’t dislike Amelia Winters because she was nice, kind, and thoughtful. Of course, having an older sister who was married into the Clinton family was a pretty big plus because he would also get some benefits. If he inherited the family business in the future, the Clinton family’s resources would be easily accessible to him. Additionally, Amelia Winters was pretty good at talking with people, unlike Amelia Hutton. Aside from clearing out credit cards and not paying attention to her job, the younger Amelia seemed pretty useless to him.

That was why he was quite excited that Amelia Winters was going to be his older sister.

“What are you thinking about, Sean? Do you agree with Mom acknowledging her, too?” Amelia Hutton asked petulantly.

“Calm down, Amelia. Just think of it as Mom fulfilling her decades-long dream. Stop messing around or you’ll only make Mom even more upset.”

“All of you keep protecting her. What am I, then?”
