Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 249 Waning Affection

Amelia’s mood had lightened after she formed an agreement with Kurt. She spent a few moments playing with Tony in the nursery before the door was pushed open.

Immediately, Amelia and Kurt whirled around. Upon noticing the man who had walked in, Kurt moved away to put some distance between him and Amelia.

A dark look crossed Oscar’s gaze when he noticed Amelia and Kurt together. However, it vanished as quickly as it came.

The man strode into the room with broad steps and stopped in front of Amelia. “When did you return?” he asked with a tender gaze.

“I returned not long ago to visit Tony. I haven’t seen him for an entire afternoon, so I missed him very much,” Amelia replied as she glanced at her husband.

“Tony, Daddy is here,” Oscar murmured as he bent down to kiss the boy’s forehead.

Tony, who was originally cheerful, curled his lips into a pout. He burst into tears the moment he caught sight of Oscar.

A look of distress painted Oscar’s face when his son began to cry. I can’t believe my son is embarrassing me like this!

Kurt stepped forward and cradled Tony in his embrace. It must be due to Tony’s liking towards Kurt, or the fact that the man had an honest and kind heart because Tony ceased crying immediately. The only trace of his earlier outburst was the tears that stained his cheeks.

Tony’s behavior caused varying thoughts to surface in the trio’s minds.

Afraid that Oscar would leap to assumptions, Kurt offered a hasty explanation, saying, “Mr. Clinton, Tony must have been confused by your scent. You shouldn’t take his behavior to heart.”

Oscar’s mood darkened when he heard the bodyguard’s explanation.

Although Kurt and Tony had not interacted a lot, they looked like father and son. I can’t believe my son prefers another man over his own father. Oscar felt an uneasy feeling in his heart. At the same time, he couldn’t place a finger on the complicated emotion that he was feeling. Nevertheless, Oscar was troubled.

Abruptly, the man changed the topic. “Make sure you take good care of Tony.”

With that, he turned around and left.

“Kurt, can you look after Tony?” Amelia hurriedly asked as she was afraid that Oscar would brood over this matter. “I’ll go and check on him.”

Kurt nodded his head in acknowledgement.

Following that, Amelia strode out of the nursery.
