Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 496 Just Get Married

After lunch, the atmosphere remained tense. Hence, Derrick and the others made an excuse and took their leave, leaving only the Clintons behind.

Stephanie declared in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, “Given how brash the Winters are, we are lucky to only have one here today. If all of them showed up, the Clintons would be disgraced by this bunch of poor and uneducated relatives. It’s indeed a blessing for us that they never showed up before.”

Amelia was rattled by Stephanie’s words.

When Oscar shot Stephanie a glare to warn her, she pursed her lips and replied, “Oscar, what I say is true. Look at how Eva was eating just now. She looked as if she hasn’t eaten for ages when she wolfed down her food. It was so unbecoming that Mom and Dad lost their appetite. I think Amelia must have invited her over to pretend to be her cousin so that she can disgust Mom and Dad.”

Taking a deep breath, Amelia desperately reminded herself not to hold it against Stephanie.

“Stephanie,” Oscar called out to warn her.

Cognizant of where his threshold was, Stephanie stopped her insults.

Olivia glanced at Amelia and commented, “Amelia, it’s not my place to judge your family and friends, for we are no longer related. Nevertheless, Tony is my grandson, and I don’t want him to be in the company of such uncultured characters. Considering how she dyed her hair and her inappropriate outfit, I’m sure Eva isn’t someone proper. Thus, I don’t like her and neither do I want my grandson to be close to her. I hope you know what to do.”

After the three Clintons left, Amelia fell silent.

Tony was then brought out of the kitchen by Molly.

Letting go of Molly’s hand, Tony ran up to Amelia and raised his head. “Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you upset?”

Amelia scooped her son into her arms and answered, “I’m fine. Did you let Molly wash your hands and face?”

Spreading his hands, Tony replied in glee, “Look, Mommy, aren’t they clean?”

Amelia gave him a peck on his cheeks. “They’re really clean. You’re indeed the cutest kid there is.”

Tony burst into laughter.

“I’ll get Molly to take you upstairs for your nap, all right?” Amelia asked in a consultative tone.

After pondering a moment, Tony opened his arms for Molly to carry him.

Picking Tony up, Molly remarked, “Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, I’ll be taking Tony upstairs for his nap then.”

When Molly and Tony were gone, Oscar hugged Amelia by her shoulders and murmured, “I’m sorry.”

Well aware of his intention, she lifted her head with a smile. “I’m fine.”

“Eva is an easy-going person. Unfortunately, Mom and Dad can only accept someone that’s proper in their eyes, who must sit with poise and not speak while eating. That’s why they’re unsettled by her. I hope you don’t take it personally,” Oscar comforted Amelia.

She replied with a smile. “I don’t blame Mom, really. That being said, even though I know this is a trivial matter, I still can’t help but feel agitated by it.”
