Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 582 Disappointment

“Dad, Mom, since I got this rare opportunity to spend time with the both of you, why not allow me to do what I’m supposed to? I’ve already canceled all my meetings this afternoon. I made time just so I can bring the two of you out. Would you two be so kind as to let me have this chance?” Oscar’s choice of words was impeccable.

Dominic looked at Oscar, feeling a little fearful of the latter. Oscar’s aura was formidable, and as a lowly citizen who worked his life away in a small town, Dominic felt a little frightened when he came face-to-face with a big shot like Oscar. That was why he did not dare to treat Oscar like his son-in-law as Dominic felt he was unworthy.

“T-There’s no need,” Dominic stuttered.

“Dad, you and Mom came from so far to visit. I sincerely want to show you around and have some fun. If you are to reject me, I’ll feel useless as your son-in-law.” Oscar tried to make them pity him.

After a pause, he continued, “Oh, right. Dad, I heard that you guys are coming. Hence, I went to check the Winters residence yesterday. Only then, did I find out that Amelia’s brother has fallen sick. As your son-in-law, I had some people bring him over and arranged the best hospital and doctors for him. Don’t worry, the doctors are specialists from overseas. I’m sure they’ll be able to cure him.”

Melanie, who had remained silent up until that point, suddenly pounced on Oscar as if a wolf protecting its pup. She tugged on Oscar’s collar and thundered, “Why did you bring my son here? What intentions are you harboring? Are you trying to kill him? I’m warning you! If anything happens to my son, I won’t let you off!”

Oscar did not dodge either and allowed her to hit him.

Seeing how the situation was getting out of hand, Amelia frantically stepped forward and stretched her hand out in an attempt to stop Melanie’s rampage. Unexpectedly, Melanie’s eyes reddened in rage, and in the heat of the moment, she landed a heavy slap on Amelia’s face. The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the private room, shocking everyone present.

Melanie stared at her hand blankly. Her palm was still red from slapping Amelia across the face. As for Oscar, his gaze darkened and became terrifying.

He quickly turned Amelia around to face him, noticing her cheek was still red and swollen from the hit. Oscar did not utter a word, but his silence was akin to the calm before the storm.

However, Amelia flashed him a smile and reassured him, “Oscar, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. It’s just a little sore.”

Truth be told, Amelia did not feel too bad about it. What Melanie did merely took away the last bit of affection she had for the Winters family.

If she was a bit more merciless, Amelia could have used thousands of methods to ruin the lives of the Winters. Alas, they did raise her into adulthood, so no matter how cruel she could be, Amelia could never make Dominic and Melanie her enemy.

Melanie’s lips twitched as she stared at Amelia. After a moment of silence, she finally stuttered, “A-Amelia, I-I’m sorry. It wasn’t on purpose. I was just worried about your brother.”

The corner of Amelia’s lips curved upward, revealing a smile.

for the two of you, Oscar and I will be happy to pay for your expenses if you wish to spend a few more days here visiting and traveling around. If you wish to go home, we’ll also be happy to purchase the tickets for you. Regarding the Hutton family, I suppose that’s between me and them. It’s not your place to tell me what to do. You haven’t cared for the past twenty-plus years, so this time, I plead that you won’t meddle in our matter. Please just forget that you have a daughter. Should our paths ever cross in
