Chapter 843 Surprise
When Amelia returned home with Tony, balloons written with words were floating everywhere in the room. When combined together, the words on the balloons read: Honey and Tony, I love you, and I’ll love you forever and always. You two are my everything.
In the next moment, everybody came running out of the room and popped the party poppers on them. Oscar, who had headed upstairs ahead of them, pushed a kitchen cart out with a cake on it and came to a halt before Amelia and Tony.
He looked toward Amelia with a loving demeanor. “Today is the day Tony is discharged from the hospital and the day of his rebirth. I prepared a cake to celebrate that the bad luck haunting him is no more. I hope Tony will live his life healthily and prosperously from this point onward, and this is the only wish I have for him as his father.”
Amelia gazed up a little, and her eyes turned misty. “Oscar, when did you prepare all these?”
“That’s a secret I can’t tell you.” Oscar bent down to retrieve a bouquet consisting of nine red roses. “This is for my wife I hold dearest. I hope that she’d like it.”
Staring at the fiery red roses, Amelia smiled through her tears, for he would easily melt her heart whenever he got all romantic.
She took the bouquet of roses from him and smiled. “It’s an ordinary move, but what can I say? Women just love flowers, so I very much like it.” Amelia counted the roses and smiled again. “Oh? Nine roses? Oscar, are you trying to tell me that you will love me forever?”
“No. Just one life is not enough. My endless love for you will last eternally,” he replied.
“So cheesy!” Amelia purred, “But I like it.”
An eternal, endless love? I like it.
Amelia carried Tony up and put him closer to Oscar. “Tony, your daddy put in a lot of effort in preparing all this for you. Shouldn’t you give him something in return?”
Tony stared at Oscar with a pair of bright eyes before bursting into laughter and saying, “Daddy.”
Oscar’s pupils shrank, and his eyes widened when he heard that. Joy filled his eyes, and he was overwhelmed with happiness. Ecstatic, he quickly took Tony from Amelia, hugged him tightly, and kissed him repeatedly on his cheeks. “Good boy, what did you just call me? Can you say that again? I’d love to hear it again.”
“Daddy, Daddy, Daddy…” Tony obediently said that again and again.
This was the first time Tony was willing to address Oscar as “Daddy” ever since he returned.
Oscar was over the moon. In fact, the excitement he felt was far greater than when he acquired a project worth hundreds of million. He never realized that his son calling him “Daddy” affectionately would make him so happy. At that moment, Oscar felt proud and contented because of the fact that he had a son.
He felt that his life was complete now that he had a wife and a son by his side.
At the side, Amelia looked at them with a smile on her face. She, too, felt warm and contented. As for Isabella’s attempt to sow discord among them, it was completely ignored by Amelia.
Once the father and son were done showing affection for each other, Oscar said, “Let’s enjoy the cake first, shall we?”
Tony wrapped his arms around his father’s neck and responded sweetly, “Daddy, I want an Ultraman toy as a gift. Can you buy one for me?”
“Okay. I promise you that it will be on the headboard of your bed when you wake up tomorrow.” Oscar happily obliged and nodded.
Tony sensibly gave Oscar another kiss on his cheek again in response. “It’s good to have a daddy! I’ll tell my friends that my daddy is a hero once I’m back at school!”
Oscar felt even prouder now. After accepting his father from the bottom of his heart, Tony was much more affectionate to his father now by addressing the latter as “Daddy” instead of “Big Meanie.”
Oscar then carried Tony in his arms to have Tony cut the cake while Jolin and the others followed behind them. Just as the atmosphere was harmonious and lovely, the doorbell rang.
Oscar couldn’t help but frown at the ringing doorbell. Seeing that, Jolin hurriedly said, “Boss, I’ll get rid of them.”
Amelia, however, shook her head. “Jolin, since they’re here, they’re considered our guests. Let them in.”
“Understood, Mrs. Clinton.” Jolin went to answer the door. Surprisingly, it was Carter and Jennifer standing outside.
Jolin glanced at Hugo, who was tasked to keep an eye on Carter and Jennifer, before she stood sideways and made way for the two.
“Carter, you’re here. Come and have a piece of cake.” Amelia welcomed them after glancing at the pair.
Carter walked up to her. Suddenly, he bowed at Amelia and Oscar solemnly. “Amelia, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Jennifer.”
“Did she do something wrong and offend me?” Amelia feigned ignorance.
Carter was taken aback by her words, and he said, “I know both Mr. Clinton and you think that Tony’s abduction is masterminded by Jennifer, but I believe that this has nothing to do with her. Could you please forgive her? She just wanted to ask everyone out to have fun. She definitely didn’t expect that would happen.”
Amelia regarded him with a half-smile. “Did I ever say the kidnapping is Ms. Larson’s doing?”
Carter stared at her quietly. He felt rather annoyed, as he never thought that Amelia would speak to him that way.
Amelia said, “Anyway, since you’re here, why don’t you sit down and have a piece of cake? Oscar prepared this specifically for Tony. After all, Tony has just experienced a scary incident.”
Carter’s gaze darkened, and he nodded. “Okay. It’s been a while since I had cake.”
Amelia invited them to have a seat at the table, gave them each a slice of cake respectively, and said, “Try it. I hope you like the cake.”
