Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 291 Truth From The Drunk

“Tiff, how do I look? Please tell me I don’t look like a crazy person,” pleaded Amelia self-consciously after walking out of the elevator.

“You look great! I don’t think anybody could tell that you just had a breakdown. Not at all,” commented Tiffany with a thumbs-up.

“Very funny, Tiff.” Amelia chuckled and slapped her friend jokingly on the arm, but the latter only shrugged in response.

“Are you ready? I’m going to open the door now.”

After Amelia nodded, Tiffany pushed the door open, but unexpectedly, Kurt was the only person they saw waiting inside. As for Tony, the boy was nowhere to be seen.

“Kurt, where’s Tony?” questioned Amelia.

“He’s with Martha,” answered Kurt as he pointed to a bedroom.

Instead of rushing to Tony, Amelia nodded appreciatively at the man for what he had done for her. “Sorry for troubling you today, Kurt. Did Mom… Mrs. Clinton give you a hard time for it?”

In response, Kurt shook his head. “Not at all. She wanted me to tell you to take care of Tony and yourself and that she’ll be visiting you this weekend.”

Amelia immediately fell silent when she heard that, for she knew she would have to disappoint Olivia. To avoid further complications, Amelia decided that it was best to leave the city with Tony the next day. The Clintons control this city. There’s pretty much nothing I can do if they ever want Tony’s custody back. I can’t let that happen, so I have to leave this place as soon as possible. I know this isn’t fair for them, but I can’t let them take Tony away from me. It took everything I had to let go of Oscar. I can’t lose Tony too!

“Kurt, I’m going to leave the city tomorrow. You can come with me if you want. But only if you want to. I’m not going to force you.”

Stunned, the man did not expect that Amelia would leave in such a hurry, but he believed that she had a good reason for doing so. “I’ll go with you.”

Even though the two had only known each other for a few months, Kurt acted like he had known Amelia for many years. Not only had he repeatedly helped her, but he also never asked for anything in return, and for that, Amelia was very grateful. To her, Kurt was more than just a bodyguard; He was a true friend.

“Thank you, Kurt,” Amelia stated as she genuinely wanted the man to know how much she appreciated him. She considered herself extremely fortunate to have such a loyal friend by her side in her time of need.
