Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 289 Overthinking

The next day, Olivia and Owen sat on the sofa solemnly after having breakfast. Olivia beckoned Amelia to come over. “Amelia, come over here with Oscar.”

Amelia’s heart jumped to her throat instinctively. However, she went over as instructed, and Oscar trotted behind her. Even the troublemaking Stephanie joined Olivia and sat next to her.

Olivia turned to look at her. “Stephanie, go upstairs. Your dad and I need to talk to Oscar and Amelia in private,” she ordered.

Pouting her lips, Stephanie pleaded, “Mom, I’m part of the family. I want to listen to what you have to say to them!”

Olivia put on a stern expression and repeated sharply, “Just go upstairs.”

Seeing how grim her mother looked, Stephanie dared not kick up a fuss. Olivia and Owen were the only ones who supported her in the family. If she offended them, Oscar would be cruel enough to ignore her and leave her to her own devices.

Stephanie shot Amelia an angry but smug glare. Yesterday’s events made her feel like she had an upper hand. No matter what happen, Amelia was going to go blind soon. Hence, she didn’t see Amelia as a threat, for a blind person couldn’t even live a normal life without getting help. How much trouble could a blind person make?

Feeling contented, she gave Amelia one last mocking glance before hopping all the way upstairs.

Amelia pretended she didn’t see Stephanie’s sarcastic and pompous look and stood before Olivia obediently.

Olivia pointed at the neighboring sofa and said, “Take a seat, both of you.”

With his arms around Amelia, Oscar led her to take their seats on the sofa.

After coughing lightly twice, Olivia announced, “Amelia, I won’t object to your divorce. As Tony is still young, he should remain with his mother. Thus, you can have Tony’s custody. But I have a condition though.”

Amelia gazed at Olivia in surprise. She had no idea Olivia had changed her mind swiftly. Didn’t she threaten us yesterday with her health? Why did she cave in today? What a drastic turn of events!

Before Amelia could reply, Olivia continued, “You can take Tony with you, but you need to send him back to the Clinton residence and let him stay here every Friday to Sunday. Tony needs to spend three days with me every week. If that’s all right with you, you can sign the divorce papers anytime.”

Amelia glanced at her doubtfully. “Mom, you really won’t object to our divorce?” she asked carefully.

“Will my objection make you change your mind? It will only make you detest me and I don’t want that. Get a divorce if you want. You’ve made up your minds, so my efforts are futile. It’s best to leave you on your own. That’s the only way I can have peace,” Olivia uttered calmly.
