Chapter 389 Taking The Plane To Anglandur
In the end, Oscar softened after Tony’s relentless tantrums and allowed Kurt to follow them to Anglandur.
Oscar looked at Tony, who was looking at him like a smug little imp. “Are you happy now?”
The boy raised his head haughtily with a loud scoff. “I’ll forgive you this time, Big Meanie. But if you ever try to separate me from my daddy again, I won’t let you off this easily.”
Oscar didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at that. People usually had sons so they could continue their lineage, but with Tony, it seemed like the boy had it out for his own dad. Despite that, he just couldn’t scold the kid because of how much he looked like Amelia.
He felt like Tony and Amelia were his kryptonite.
He then said to Hugo, “Sit on the next flight with Kurt.”
“Yes, boss.”
Tony ran toward Kurt and started swinging his hand. “I wanna sit with Daddy!”
Oscar narrowed his eyes and said, “Is that really what you want?”
“Yes. I don’t want to sit with you, Big Meanie!”
“Fine! I don’t want to stick around a little brat like you anyway. In fact, I think I’ll just sell you off to someone else. Don’t even think about seeing your mommy again.”
Tony ran toward Oscar and started bashing at him with his little fists. “Big Meanie! I’m going to teach you a lesson so you’ll never try to disrupt my mommy and daddy again.”
Oscar caught both of Tony’s hands in a firm grasp and looked at him sternly. “Anthony Clinton, if you don’t stop being so rude, I’m going to send you right back to the Clinton residence and teach you a good lesson once I come back from Anglandur.”
Tony’s eyes reddened immediately and he cried out, “Mommy, Big Meanie’s scolding me! He’s scary.”
Amelia said urgently, “I’m sorry, Oscar. Please don’t get mad at him. He’s still young and you’re scaring him.”
Oscar took a deep breath and softened his tone. “Be good, Tony. You want Mommy to see again too, right?”
Tony nodded.
“Well, this big meanie of a dad wants to bring Mommy to Anglandur so that she can get a cornea transplant. You can follow Kurt, but stop throwing such tantrums or I’ll take Mommy away from you forever,” Oscar threatened.
To Tony, Oscar looked just like the demons from the stories.
“B-Big Meanie!” No matter how smart Tony was, he was still only two years old. Rather than hating on Oscar, he mostly revered the older man. Even though he kept calling him “Big Meanie,” he didn’t really hate him that much. He just felt as if Oscar’s appearance had suddenly torn his mommy and daddy apart. He felt like Oscar was a threat to his mommy and daddy’s relationship deep down in his bones, and since he had been brought up by Kurt, he naturally wanted Kurt to be the one to date his mommy.
Oscar stood up and said, “Kurt, Tony, the two of you can sit on the next flight.”
“Yes, boss,” Kurt replied respectfully before waving to Tony. “Tony, come over here.”
The boy scurried over and burrowed himself into Kurt’s embrace. “Don’t be scared, Daddy! With me here, Mommy will definitely be with you instead of that Big Meanie. Don’t worry.”
“Tony! Stop saying nonsense,” Amelia berated.
Tony pouted, looking like a kicked puppy.
“Mommy, you’ve stopped liking me ever since Big Meanie showed up.”
“That’s not true, Tony!” Amelia was starting to feel exhausted. She hated seeing the father and son duo go at each other like fire and water.
Oscar walked over and put his arm over Amelia’s shoulders. “Just give him some time, okay? I’ll get along with him in no time.”
Amelia nodded.
In the end, Amelia and Oscar got into one car together and Derrick followed Tiffany into the other car.
Tiffany was a little baffled. “What are you doing here, Derrick?”
“Sorry, I forgot to tell you. My company is working together with a publishing company in Anglandur and I’ll be going over there for a month,” Derrick said with an ambiguous smile.
Tiffany’s eyes widened and she exclaimed, “Really?”
Derrick nodded with a chuckle and said, “I can’t believe the lengths I’m going to in order to spend more time with you. Aren’t you going to give me a little pat on the back?”
“I love you so much!” Tiffany excitedly planted a kiss on Derrick’s lips.
He held the back of her head and deepened the kiss even further.
As the two of them were kissing as if the chauffeur wasn’t in the car, Oscar and Amelia were in a very different situation back in their own car.
Amelia apologized, “I’m sorry, Oscar. Tony’s really fond of Kurt since he was brought up by him. Don’t think about it too much.”
Oscar burst into laughter and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry. Did you really think I’d have it out for a kid? I know he’s my son. Apart from looking just like you, he also has the exact same personality as I did when I was his age. I wasn’t close to my own dad when I was younger, and I always pushed him away. We didn’t get close until I was in middle school. Tony’s just like me, too.”
“Are you really not mad?”
Oscar tickled her nose and said, “Do you really want to see me mad? What’s wrong?”
“No, of course not. I just feel sorry that you had to go through that. If I hadn’t brought him away, you two wouldn’t be this far apart. I’m sorry,” Amelia apologized sincerely as she held Oscar’s hand tightly.
Oscar patted her on the head and said in a low voice, “I’m not blaming you for anything, silly. I’ll do my best to be a great dad so Tony will start liking me more. I’m not going to force you to be stuck in between our squabbling.”
Oscar spoke with confidence, but he had never expected Tony to be so fond of Kurt. Even though Oscar was his dad, he still preferred Kurt to be with Amelia instead.
Oscar had never imagined that Tony would become another obstacle in his and Amelia’s relationship.
Oscar changed the subject and said, “I called James earlier this morning. He said that that young man’s condition is worsening, so it’s most likely that he will pass in the next few days. Once we settle down in Anglandur, he can conduct your surgery. Who do you want to see the most after you wake up?”
Amelia couldn’t help but smile. “You and Tony. He’s already two years old and I still have no idea what he looks like. I would love to see how big he’s gotten.”
“He’s very cute. He looks almost like a porcelain doll. You two have the same eyes, actually.” Oscar chuckled.
“Really? I thought his eyes would have taken after yours.” Amelia laughed.
After a moment, Amelia’s voice lowered and she said, “There’s someone else I’d like to see, actually. I’d like to see Mrs. Hutton and find out how much I look like her. If we’re really related, why did she get rid of me back then but come back to find me now? Why would she rather pamper and spoil me as a stranger than admit that we’re related? I’m extremely curious, but all I want to ask is why she treated me so cruelly.”
Oscar said, “I will go meet her with you if that’s what you really want. Rather than keep all of these emotions in, I’d rather you ask someone who knows about it so that you can get closure.”
Amelia sighed and replied, “I’m just scared that the truth isn’t what I want.”
“You have me, you have Tony, and you have a lot of people who love and care about you. If that family truly is your family but doesn’t want to take you back, then we’ll just forget about them,” Oscar said. “The worst-case scenario is that they become strangers, but that’s not too far from what’s happened already, right? Don’t look too far into it. You have your own family now.”
Amelia nodded.
After getting on the plane, coincidentally enough, all four of their seats were in the same row.
Amelia turned to look at Derrick. “Derrick, are you going to Anglandur too?”
“I’m collaborating with a publishing company in Anglandur for a project, so I’ll be there for a month. I’ll also be watching over Tiff so she doesn’t go missing or anything.”
“Derrick! Stop that. I’ll really beat you up this time.”
Amelia couldn’t help but chuckle at the sound of their playful banter. She loved the cheerful atmosphere they had created.
