Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 804 The Victor

Stephanie made an effort to appeal to Amelia and even sought Olivia’s help to do so. Olivia had specially invited Amelia and her family to visit. Since Oscar just so happened to have work matters to attend to, Amelia could only head over with Tony accompanying her. Hugging Tony, Olivia asked affectionately, “Are you very busy these days?”

Amelia sat down on the other couch and replied, “Thanks for your concern. It’s been all right.”

Just then, Stephanie came out of the kitchen with a tray of fruit in her hands and a wide smile adorning her lips. “Amelia, you’re here! I was just about to call you. I didn’t expect you to be here already. Where’s Oscar?” she asked.

Sweeping her gaze over at Stephanie, Amelia replied, “He had some matters to take care of at the company, so I came here first with Tony.”

Stephanie set the tray on the table and grabbed a piece for Tony. “Tony, here. Try this! Your grandmother told me you liked these fruits, so I got these from the countryside, especially for you.”

Tony glanced at her warily. He made no move to accept the food.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Stephanie’s eyes at his reluctance, but she managed to conceal it. Even Olivia did not realize her true feelings. However, Tony was a sensitive child, and he had always been clever. Naturally, he had sensed Stephanie’s displeasure. Tony wrinkled his nose. He had no intentions of playing nice with Stephanie.

“Grandma, I had a stomachache since this morning. Is it okay if I don’t want to eat the fruits?” he said coyly.

Upon hearing this, Olivia panicked. “How did you get a stomachache? Let me take a look at you! Oh my, your complexion looks bad. Let me give Robert a call and request he come over and give you a check-up. We can’t possibly let anything happen to you!” Olivia muttered worriedly.

Tony sat in Olivia’s arms obediently. In a rather sullen tone, he said, “Grandma, I’m okay. I just don’t feel like eating the fruits.”

Olivia glanced over at Stephanie. “Stephanie, since he doesn’t feel like eating, stop forcing the child.”

Stephanie nearly bit her tongue in anger. This mother-and-son duo is really adept at getting on my nerves. Both of them are so cunning!

“I didn’t know you had a stomachache, Tony. It’s okay if you don’t feel like eating.” Stephanie tossed the fruits back on the plate and glanced over at Amelia. “By the way, I’ve been meaning to invite you to visit some tourist attractions. Since it’s not peak tourist season right now, it’s more convenient for pregnant women like me. Would you care to join me?”

Olivia chimed in, “Amelia, Stephanie has matured a lot ever since she got married. She told me she did terrible things to you in the past, and now she wishes to repent. Since we’re family now, why not let bygones be bygones? Could you give her a chance for my sake?”

Amelia lowered her gaze. No one could see the expression she was wearing.

When she lifted her head a moment later, she acted as if there was nothing amiss. She smiled and said, “Mom, I’ve never held it against Stephanie. It’s all water under the bridge. As for visiting the tourist attractions, ordinarily, I would agree to it, but since she’s around six to seven months pregnant, I don’t think it’s a good idea. I have no idea how I’d face the Walkers if something were to happen to her. So Mom, please don’t put me in such a spot.”

Olivia’s expression darkened.

Stephanie looked at her and beseeched, “Amelia, you said you don’t blame me. I wish to bury the hatchet and get along with you, but you’re refusing to let me make amends. Your words really hurt, you know that?”
