Love You Enough to Leave You Chapter 505

Chapter 505Chapter 505
When Amelia reached home, the family of three sat down to have dinner. After they finished their meal,
Oscar went into his study to handle some work stuff. Only Amelia and Tony were left in the spacious
living room.
Tony nestled beside Amelia as she gently caressed his head and said, “Tony, shall we watch some
cartoons? How does Sherlock Holmes sound?”
Tony shook his head. “No. Cartoons are too childish. Mommy, aren't you watching the 'Modern Love'
series these days? Let's watch that. I like to look at pretty girls. The character named Andy is so cool.”
The corner of Amelia's mouth twitched. Is this child really two years old? Why does he behave like an
adult sometimes?
“Okay, let's watch that series.” Amelia then turned on the television and switched to the channel
showing “Modern Love.” A commercial just happened to be broadcasting.
Right at that moment, Amelia's phone that was on the table rang. She picked it up to have a look.
When Amelia saw the name displayed on the screen, the look in her eyes changed. She quickly
regained her composure and said, “Tony, I need to answer this call. Sit here and watch TV by yourself.
Be a good boy, okay?”
Tony nodded.
Amelia walked toward the balcony and answered the phone. “Hello, Mrs. Hutton,” she said when the call got through. The person on the other end of the line was
Eleanor, the woman Amelia had gotten to know when she was in Beshya.
Eleanor hesitated for a moment before her gentle and cautious voice rang out. “Lia, long time no see.
How are you? You're not experiencing any cornea rejection, right?”
“I'm fine, Mrs. Hutton. My eyes are recovering well. What about you? How are you these days?” Amelia
asked with concern out of courtesy.
Whether Eleanor was her biological mother, Amelia decided not to pursue further to find out the truth.
Most importantly was letting nature take its' course. She would not reject if Eleanor tried to
acknowledge her as her daughter. Otherwise, she would just treat Eleanor as one of her elders.
She had passed the age of needing her parents' affection. Amelia had regrets about her kinship, but
she was not as persistent and eager as she used to be when she was younger.
“I'm fine. It has been some time since we last met, and I've missed you. I'm planning to visit you at
Tayhaven. Is that okay with you?” Eleanor asked cautiously on the other end of the line.
Amelia was taken aback by that.
Eleanor quickly sensed that and continued, “Lia, is that not okay with you? I just want to see you as I've
missed you and Tony. I won't disturb your life.” After Amelia heard what Eleanor had said, the former could not help but feel her heart sink. She
clenched the phone tightly and fell quiet for a while. Amelia then responded smilingly, “Don't get me
wrong, Mrs. Hutton. I'm worried you'll be exhausted if you take a flight here. I was just thinking about
when I'm free, and then I'll ask my husband to bring Tony and me to Saspiuburg for a family trip. We
can visit you there.”
“No, that's okay. I'll visit you and my grand... Tony. I'm planning to go tomorrow. I won't be disturbing
you, right?” Eleanor stated warily.
Amelia felt a tug at her heartstrings as Eleanor finished speaking. Eventually, she smiled. “Give me a
call when you reach then, Mrs. Hutton. I'll pick you up.”
As soon as she said that, Amelia felt like she could hear a sigh of relief from the other end of the line.
“Where's Tony?” Eleanor asked jovially.
“He's watching TV. Do you want me to call him over to speak to you?”
“It's okay. Let him watch TV. I'll play with him when I visit you guys.” Eleanor paused for a while before
adding, “Lia, what does Tony like? I have been thinking about the best gift to get him for the past two
days. Why don't you tell me what he likes?”
“Mrs. Hutton, it's nice enough for you to come. There's no need for you to buy him gifts. He has
everything he needs here.”
“I'm visiting my grandson. No, I mean, we hit it off when we first met. So, I see him as my grandson.
How can I visit my grandson empty-handed? I'll choose if you don't tell me. There's a lot of good foodand nice toys here in Saspiuburg. I'll get one of each then. I'm sure there will be something that Tony
likes.”
Amelia was nonplussed after hearing what Eleanor said. “Don't spoil him, Mrs. Hutton. You're going to
spoil him too much.”
“All grandmothers will spoil their grandchildren.” Both Amelia and Eleanor froze as soon as the latter
said that. After a while, Eleanor explained awkwardly, “Don't get me wrong, Amelia. I don't mean
anything else, but I see Tony as my grandchild.”
Amelia came up with an excuse and responded, “It's okay, Mrs. Hutton. I'm not overthinking. Let's call it
a night. I need to shower Tony now. He skipped his afternoon nap, so he's feeling sleepy.”
“Okay then.” Eleanor ended the call after a pause.
Amelia heaved a sigh of relief as she looked at her darkened phone screen.
At bedtime, Amelia told Oscar about the news that Eleanor was coming to Tayhaven. Oscar gently ran
his fingers through her hair and asked, “Do you want to see her?”
“It's not a matter whether I want to or not. I'm just going with the flow. However, I can't figure out her
feelings and purpose for approaching me,” answered Amelia as she snuggled into a comfortable
position in Oscar's arms.
“Do you want me to investigate for you?” Oscar asked.
“Investigate about what?” “To investigate whether the two of you are blood-related.”
Upon hearing Oscar's words, Amelia could not help but reply, “What's the point of investigating? The
Hutton family has no intention of acknowledging me. Otherwise, they would have done so when I was
at Beshya. I'm over thirty years old, and I have you and Tony by my side. As for other matters, they
don't matter much.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Oscar, I'm not stubborn and taking things too hard as you think. I understand that many things are
better when I let nature take its' course.”
Oscar's eyes flickered in the dark. He pulled Amelia closer and said in a low voice, “Let's sleep.”
Amelia wrapped her arms around his waist. After settling into a comfortable position, she fell asleep.
The next day, Oscar sent Amelia to work. After arriving at her company, he said, “Amelia, send me Mrs.
Hutton's number. It's not easy for you to apply for leave. Moreover, you're not driving. I'll pick her up on
your behalf. After that, we'll buy her dinner at a restaurant. We'll treat her to some local dishes.”
“Are you able to do it by yourself?”
“Lady, you'll be punished for doubting your husband's capabilities,” Oscar answered, and he leaned
forward to bite Amelia's lips gently.
Amelia covered her lips, where it was bitten, and replied, “I'll send her number to your phone in awhile.”
Oscar nodded. “Don't worry. I won't offend a woman that could be my future mother-in-law.”
Amelia could not help but chuckle. This man is indeed quite cute.
After she went into the office, Oscar drove away. While on the road, he received a number from Amelia.
Oscar dialed the number, and the call was immediately connected.
“Hello, who is this?” A melodious voice came from the other end of the line.
“Hello, Mrs. Hutton. I'm Oscar Clinton, Amelia's husband. We met in Beshya. Do you remember me?”
Oscar said politely.
Eleanor answered enthusiastically. “Oh, it's Oscar.”
“I heard from Amelia that you're coming to visit her and your flight is today. May I know what your
arrival time is? I'll pick you up since it's inconvenient for Amelia to apply for leave as she's at work. You
won't mind that I pick you, would you?”
Eleanor paused before breaking into a smile and replied, “Of course not. I'm happy that you can pick
me up. I'm just worried that I'll disturb your work.”
“Don't worry about it. Give me a call before you get onto the plane, Mrs. Hutton. So that I can arrive
earlier at the airport and wait for you.” “All right. Thank you.”
“It's no trouble.”
After exchanging pleasantries, the two hung up.
Oscar drove straight to his company after ending the call. While far away at Saspiuburg, Eleanor was in
a daze with the phone in her hand.
“Mom, you're going to Tayhaven? Why didn't you tell us? Are you planning to go secretly?” Amelia
Hutton questioned as she walked toward Eleanor with an angry look.
“Stop messing around, Amelia. I miss Lia a lot, and I wonder how she and Tony are doing after
returning to Tayhaven. Your father and brother are also in Beshya for business matters. I'm just going
to Tayhaven for a couple of days,” Eleanor explained and hastily kept her phone away.
In an almost questioning tone, Amelia said, “Mom, before Dad left for his business trip, he told me to
look after you. You're not allowed to leave this city as you like. Can't you let go of your relationship with
her?”
“Amelia, why are you speaking to me in such a tone? Am I a criminal? I'm not spoiling you to let you go
over my head. I'm not stupid. You have your life, and I have my freedom too. Mind your business.
Otherwise, I'll get angry,” Eleanor retorted as her face darkened.
Amelia was a little flabbergasted and felt both anger and frustration. “Mom, that's not what I meant. I
just want to remind you that Dad doesn't want you to be involved with Amelia Winters. Don't make Dad
angry again. I don't want him to send you back to the psychiatric hospital for treatment.” Anger flashed across Eleanor's eyes, and her gaze became terrifying.
