Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 495 Poor Table Manners

After staying in the hospital for five days, Tony was finally discharged. When he arrived at their apartment in the city, many visitors came to see him.

“Tony, I was only sent to Saspiuburg for five days and this happen to you. Oh, my poor boy! You’ve lost weight!” Before she had time to drop her luggage, Eva hurried over to give Tony a hug.

Laughing uncontrollably from her tickles, Tony pushed her away. “Aunt Eva, it’s ticklish!”

Eva stopped and gave him an earnest look. “Tony, tell me who did this to you. I will strangle them!”

Before Tony could respond, Amelia replied with a nonplussed tone, “Eva, Tony’s still a child. So, please mind your words.”

Pursing her lips, Eva wasn’t offended. Instead, she whispered into Tony’s ear, “Tony, your mommy is pretending to be civil.”

Tony replied in an equally soft voice, “Aunt Eva, don’t speak ill of Mommy.”

Eva gave his forehead a light flick and smiled. “I’m surprised that you know how to protect your mommy at such a young age. You really take after me. For that, I can’t praise you enough.”

Just when the two of them were fooling around, the doorbell rang. When Oscar opened the door, he saw Olivia, Owen, and Stephanie outside.

“Dad, Mom, come in.” Oscar stepped aside to welcome them.

When the Clintons saw that the living hall was filled with people, they furrowed their brows in response. Nonetheless, they quickly regain their usual dignified poise.

“Who are you?” Stephanie asked as she pointed at Eva condescendingly. “You dressed so weirdly that you look just like a shampoo girl.”

Eva had always been a feisty character. When she was suddenly ridiculed while playing with Tony, she got to her feet and shot back, “Why don’t you tell me who are you instead? By insulting someone the moment you step in, you have just shown how rude you are. Didn’t your mom teach you not to hurl random derisive comments at others?”

Amelia had wanted to stop her but was too late given how fast Eva retorted.

After pulling Eva behind her, Amelia smiled awkwardly. “Mom, this is my cousin. She has recently come to Tayhaven for work. Given her straightforward character, she speaks her mind freely. So, I hope you’ll forgive her.”

After staring thoughtfully at Amelia, Olivia replied plainly, “Amelia, my children have never been accused of being rude before, and now, your cousin is the first. Despite being married into the Clinton family for so many years, I have never seen your side of the family, to the extent I thought that you were an orphan. Now that it turns out that you’re not, why haven’t I seen any of them before this? It’s obvious to me that you’re hiding a lot from us.”
