Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 577 The Winters Family

“Say, did you visit Lia when I was asleep?” questioned Eleanor.

Benjamin’s smile faded slightly at her query. He replied in displeasure, “Eleanor, I’m trying to convince myself to accept her for you. Why the harsh words? Do you want me to despise her instead?”

Eleanor crossed her arms against her chest. “Don’t be angry. I’m just worried about her. I’m afraid that you will act differently behind my back by putting them in a dilemma. Saspiuburg’s your territory, after all. Sorry for hurting your feelings.”

Upon hearing that, Benjamin’s expression softened.

“Let’s head back, Eleanor. I’m in the wrong too. Initially, I wanted you to consult the psychiatrist to forget about your so-called daughter. However, I realized that I nearly lost you in that way. You never know how important you are to me. I would acknowledge Amelia Winters than lose you. She’s my daughter, and I know that well. I’m so sorry for my stubbornness that put you in guilt for the past twenty years. I promise that I will not do so in the future,” he uttered sincerely.

Eleanor couldn’t help but feel touched. “Do you mean it?” she asked in disbelief.

“Are you suspecting me after all I’ve done for you?” Benjamin glared at her.

Eleanor took a step back and replied in frustration, “I don’t know. You are not willing to give in in the past twenty years. It’s weird that you change your mind within a few days of my absence. What are you planning? And what are your motives? Old habits die hard, you know. I won’t know if you are merely putting up an act.”

Benjamin snorted in response and scoffed, “Don’t you think you are too much, Eleanor? Is that what you think of me after all my efforts for you? Am I such an unworthy person in your eyes?”

She moved her lips, hoping to say something. However, she couldn’t come up with a word to retort him.

He sighed. “Eleanor, I hate to say this, but have you ever thought that Amelia Winters never wanted to acknowledge you as her mother?”

Eleanor’s face instantly turned a nasty shade of white – her mind went blank at his words.

“No. No! It couldn’t be!” she denied as she shook her head furiously.

With that, Eleanor retreated another few steps and turned to run away. However, Benjamin grabbed her in time. “Eleanor, you should face the truth.”

“No! It’s impossible for her to do so. She’s just flustered as we gave her too little time to think of it. I shall give her another few days to make up her mind. She’ll be able to accept me then!” Eleanor tried to explain herself.

“All right. She will. Calm down first, okay? Don’t panic. Just give her some time. I will not stop you if she really wants to acknowledge you,” Benjamin consoled. It was rare for him to be so gentle.

In the past, he stubbornly assumed that Amelia Winters was just an illegitimate child, resulting in his fight with Eleanor for twenty years. Their relationship worsened so much that they nearly divorced each other. Hence, he was surprised that she was willing to reconcile with him when he approached her with a different strategy.
