Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 851 Serious This Time

When Amelia and her family arrived at the Clinton residence, they saw Carol and Olivia conversing. To be exact, Carol was the one who kept talking while Olivia listened quietly. From time to time, she would nod in agreement.

Knowing that Amelia was rather unwilling to meet the Walkers, Oscar took her hand and squeezed it lightly. Amelia immediately gave him a smile to reassure him that she was okay.

Stephanie was now the daughter-in-law of the Walker family. Whether Amelia liked it or not, she would have to engage with the Walker family eventually.

Right after they entered, Tony wiggled out of Amelia’s arms and dashed to Olivia. He wrapped his arms around the latter’s neck sweetly and said, “Grandma, I missed you so much.”

As Olivia embraced him, she felt as if her heart was about to melt.

“My little sweet baby, you must be hungry. I’ll ask the housekeeper to serve the food right away. We can’t let you starve!” she said with a smile.

A vicious glint fleeted across Carol’s eyes as she watched the two interact with each other. She just couldn’t bring herself to like Tony. After all, she had suffered a lot because of him.

Just then, Tony glanced at Carol. “Grandma, I don’t like having outsiders with us while we eat together. Why do you always invite outsiders? It’s making me upset,” he whined to Olivia.

Carol’s expression stiffened at that.

Olivia hurriedly flashed her an apologetic smile. “Mrs. Walker, please don’t take it to heart. I’ve spoiled this child too much.”

Recomposing herself, Carol smiled gently and said, “Don’t worry about it. Tony is a lovely child. I can’t imagine anyone ever disliking him! Mrs. Clinton, you’re so lucky to have him. I could only hope that my grandchild would be half as adorable as Tony.”

Olivia was pleased to hear those words. To her, Tony was the best boy in this world.

She asked the housekeeper to serve the dishes before instructing someone to bring Isabella downstairs.

Soon, everyone settled into their seats and began eating. When Olivia noticed that Isabella only ate the mashed potato on her own plate, she asked, “What’s wrong, Isabella? Are you feeling unwell? You should try the side dishes.”

“Aunt Olivia, I will. Just take care of Tony. Don’t worry about me; I’m a grown-up now,” Isabella said, smiling politely.

Nevertheless, Olivia made the housekeeper place some food on Isabella’s plate. “Just treat this place like your home and feel free to eat up. Are you still feeling shy about what happened yesterday? It’s normal to date someone at your age. Stop overthinking now.”

“All right, Aunt Olivia.” Isabella nodded.

She glanced at the side dishes on her plate and forked some into her mouth. After chewing for a while, she wiped her mouth and took the chance to spit the food into the napkin. Then she continued to eat the mashed potato nonchalantly.

At the same time, she stealthily observed Oscar, who filled up Amelia’s and Tony’s plates before digging in.

Her lips curled up sinisterly. That’s right, Oscar. Eat as much as you can. When you’re done, we can visit Professor Zabinski.

The dinner went on for almost an hour.

Isabella had finished the mashed potato on her plate, but the side dishes remained almost untouched. “Isabella, are you really feeling unwell? You barely touched the side dishes. Do you not like them?” Olivia asked out of concern as she dabbed her lips with a napkin.

“Aunt Olivia, the food is great, and I enjoyed them. It’s just that I have some sores in my mouth, and it stings when I eat other food. That’s why I only ate the potato. I’ll have to apply some medicine later when I go home,” explained Isabella.

“I see. If it hurts too bad, you should go see a doctor. Don’t just endure the pain. Mouth sores are the worst,” Olivia remarked.

Isabella bobbed her head in response.
