Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 365 Saddened

After dinner, Benjamin offered to go on a stroll with Eleanor. However, as usual, he was rejected once again. She went out by herself, leaving her family sitting around the table. Amelia looked at her father and asked, “It has been a while, Dad. Haven’t you made it up to Mom yet?”

Benjamin’s eyes glinted darkly as he thought about that question. In the end, he replied, “You shouldn’t poke your nose in this matter, girl. It’s adult business. Go with your mother. She’s still ill, and now she wouldn’t stop overthinking everything. She needs someone to talk to her.”

Amelia smiled at her father. “So you’re implying that I’m a child, huh, Daddy? Well, then it’s past my bedtime now,” she retorted. “Now it’s up to you to talk to Mom. I’m going to my room now.” Waving at her father, she went upstairs.

Every time this conversation was brought up, it was bound to end with everyone being angry at something, at the very least. Because of that, the air was tense in the Hutton residence that night as usual.

Benjamin looked positively annoyed and frustrated.

“Don’t think too much about it, Dad. Mom’s just not feeling happy right now. Give her some time. She’ll get over it, eventually.”

“Sean, your mother has been trying to ‘get over it’ for more than twenty years. Twenty years. Not two days. All just for a missing daughter. She’s even pushing me away just because of that,” Benjamin grumbled solemnly.

Anger flared up within Sean’s eyes for a moment, but he calmed down. “She’s just stuck on something, Dad. She’ll slowly figure it out.”

The conversation came to a long pause after that. Eventually, Sean voiced, “Dad, why don’t you go out and have a talk with her? Dr. Goodman called me yesterday, and he had bad news. Mom might look fine now, but actually, her symptoms are getting worse. Why don’t we just find the girl and get this over with? After all, I still remember which family you gave her away to.”

Benjamin clenched his fists as tightly as he could. He was struggling violently with himself, and a stormy look contorted his face. However, in the end, he shook his head.

A long, long while later, he stated darkly, “That’s between me and your mother. You and Amelia are my only children. I do not have any other child, and I do not want to hear any of you bringing up a nonexistent character, you hear me?”

Staring at his father, Sean was befuddled and perplexed about that response. “But why, Dad?” How could you abandon your own kid just like that?

Benjamin growled silently, “No reason, boy. You are my son, Sean Hutton. You only have the privilege to follow my orders. Anything else is off-limits, you hear me?”

After that, Benjamin stormed off upstairs, leaving Sean standing alone in the living room. He had a dark look on his face, and he was immersed in his thoughts.

In the meantime, Eleanor was taking a stroll outside. Halfway through, she told the maid who came with her to bring a bucket of water over. The maid was perplexed by that bizarre request, but she did as her mistress instructed, anyway.
