Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 278 Determined

The two of them discussed the matter concerning Tony’s custody for a while before they fell silent once more. When they arrived at the Clinton residence, Oscar parked the car. Amelia was going to open the door and hop out of it, but she suddenly recalled something, so she paused.

She turned to Oscar and requested, “Oscar, I think it’s best if we don’t tell your parents about our divorce until everything is settled.”

Oscar turned to her and replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll deal with everything accordingly.”

Amelia trusted Oscar on the matter. He had always been a reliable man when it came to handling matters. No one, not even his parents, could change his mind once he made his decisions.

After they got out of the car, Oscar wrapped his arm around Amelia’s waist. She struggled a little, but he whispered into her ear as she did so, “Honey, we haven’t gotten the divorce yet, so you’re still bound to do your duty as my wife.”

Amelia stopped struggling.

They had been apart for quite a few days, and she actually missed him dearly. She often dreamed about the sense of security and the warmth his arms offered, and she felt safe as long as he was with her.

Oscar was happy with how Amelia was being obedient. After the incident with Cassie, Amelia had been repulsed by Oscar’s touch. That stung his heart a great deal. Hence, he was practically jumping in delight when the woman he loved settled down quietly in his arms.

When they entered the living room, Olivia, who had originally been talking to Owen, jumped up from the sofa right away. She hurried to Amelia, but she was obviously aiming for Tony, who was in Amelia’s arms. All the while, she kept calling out to their precious grandson.

Olivia cradled Tony in her arms, and Owen walked over while staring at the baby. After a while, Owen turned to Amelia and said, “I’m glad you’re back. Amelia, it’s undeniable that Oscar made a mistake, and I’ve already reprimanded him as his father. He is at fault, but his mistake doesn’t deserve a death sentence. Please, for Tony’s sake, forgive him just this once! I promise I won’t let him get away with it if he makes the same mistake again!”

Amelia grinned and replied, “Dad, I’m so sorry that the matter between Oscar and me has you and Mom worried. I promise you won’t have to worry about it much longer.” Once Oscar and I get a divorce, he’ll marry someone else with the same social status as him. She’ll be someone Owen approves of and someone who can talk about fashion, tea, and high society drama with Olivia. The Clintons will have peace and quiet again. Give them a little more time, and a nobody like me will be erased from everybody’s mind. When someone accidentally brings up my name, there will simply be a fleeting conversation of how a woman like me is not worthy of the Clintons and how I was chased out of the house even though I bore an heir.

Amelia believed that was how life was. Some people were simply not destined to lead a peaceful and wealthy life.

A sparrow can never evolve into a phoenix, and I should stop fantasizing.

When Owen heard what Amelia said, he thought that she was over it and had forgiven Oscar. That caused him to shoot an approving look at her.
