Love You Enough to Leave You Chapter 433

Chapter 433 A Call From The Winters Family

That night, when Amelia finished showering and stepped out of the bathroom, Oscar wrapped his arms around her and placed her carefully on the bed, immediately picking up the hairdryer to dry her hair.

Amelia relaxed and allowed herself to enjoy Oscar’s service. Chuckling, she said, “I feel like our current relationship is much sweeter compared to the times before our divorce.”

After drying the ends of her hair, Oscar put the hairdryer away carefully and said, “You like romantic gestures, don’t you? So I’m going to fill your life with them. It hasn’t been easy getting you back. Of course, I wouldn’t have the heart to let you suffer.”

Amelia turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her face into his chest as she mumbled, “Oscar, I realized you’ve been getting better at sweet-talking after our two-year separation. And I realize I’m getting spoiled by your words. What should I do?”

“Then, let me continue to spoil you. My honeyed words are reserved only for you.” Oscar lowered his head to kiss Amelia, but she stopped him by pushing against his chest.

Feeling puzzled, he gazed at her with eyes that seemed to be asking, “What’s wrong? Can’t we do it tonight?”

Embarrassed, Amelia flashed an apologetic smile and said, “Sorry, Oscar. I’m on that time of the month.”

The hunger in Oscar’s eyes dissipated immediately. He pinched her chin gently and said, “Woman, you’ve aroused me, and yet you’re not taking the responsibility to satisfy my desire. I’m going to go crazy one day if you keep playing with me.”

Amelia loved how he treated her with so much affection. After being separated for two years, she was now experiencing the joy of a newlywed couple who had just reunited.

“Are you angry?”

Oscar tapped the tip of her nose with a hint of affection and helplessness, saying, “You’re the only one who dares to tease me like this. If someone else did this, I’ll embarrass the person in public.”

“Like Ms. Walker?”

“Are you trying to provoke me?”

Amelia grinned. “Do you only realize it now, Oscar?”

He remained speechless for a moment.

Then, he tucked a laughing Amelia into his embrace, and his mood lifted instantly.

“Okay. It’s late. We should get some sleep,” he said.

Amelia snuggled into Oscar’s embrace obediently while the latter turned off the lights.

In the darkness, Amelia suddenly spoke. “Oscar, I’ve been hired by a designing company. I’ll start work next Monday.”

Oscar’s gaze darkened. “What’s the name of the company?”

“Levitate Marketing. It’s not a big company, but I like the environment there.” Amelia made some circles on his chest with her right hand as she continued, “Oscar, I hope you won’t get involved with my new job. I don’t want people to know that I’m your wife. Just let me handle this fight alone. I want to find out my capabilities in handling the harshness of the corporate world alone.”

Oscar sighed in exasperation. However, he still complied. “Really? You don’t need me to get involved?”

Amelia shook her head. “Oscar, I’ve been away from the working world for seven years. Back then, when I was working in Carter’s company, I was just passing my days. But now, I don’t want to be a Mrs. Clinton who has nothing to do all day. I know money isn’t an issue here, but life can get quite boring.”

Oscar ruffled her hair. “Since you like it there, you should go ahead. Just come back when things get tough. I’ll always be here.”

A blissful feeling filled Amelia’s heart to the brim. She tightened her arms around his waist, her entire body almost shrinking into his embrace as she said affectionately, “Oscar, has anyone ever told you that the caring version of you is more attractive compared to the serious one? You’ve got me falling head over heels for you. I really regret leaving you for the past two years.”

“Then, don’t leave me in the future.”

The two dark figures hugged each other tightly in the dark.

After some time, Oscar’s voice broke the silence. “James is coming back from Anglandur this weekend. I’ll need you to get Molly to prepare a meal, maybe something fusion. I’ll join all of you for lunch after my meeting in the morning.”

“Didn’t James say he’ll be coming back a month later?”

“He’s found a doctor to take over his position. The hospital could not ignore his constant plea for resignation. Hence, they had no choice but to approve it. And now he just can’t wait to come to Chanaea.”

“It sounds like James really likes Chanaea. It’s funny how a foreigner like him would fall in love with our culture and local customs. It must’ve been hard on him.”

Her words only made Oscar tighten his arms around her. “Go to sleep. Don’t think too much about it.”

Amelia lay in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

It was almost noon when Amelia woke up the next day. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Tony leaning against the side of the bed, staring at her with his big, bright, and curious eyes.

Amelia jumped in fright. After confirming that it was Tony, she finally felt awake.

“Tony, why are you here? Where’s Daddy?” She got off the bed and swooped him up in a swift motion.

“Big Meanie was the one who put me here. He also told me not to wake you.”

“Have you had your breakfast, then?”

Tony nodded and answered, looking slightly upset, “Big Meanie made me breakfast.”

Amelia planted a kiss on his forehead and carried him off the bed. “You have to address him as Daddy. You shouldn’t be so impolite, you know?”

Pursing his lips, Tony shouted, “Mommy, I don’t want to call him Daddy. Big Meanie said if I woke you up, he’ll send me to a secret place where you’ll never find me.”

Amelia sighed helplessly at the boys’ battle of wits.

After washing up briefly in the bathroom, she carried Tony down the stairs to find breakfast already laid on the dining table.

As soon as she finished her breakfast, Tiffany showed up at the door right on time.

Recently, Kurt had been assigned a mysterious task by Oscar. Since Amelia did not want to be a selfish person to keep Kurt by Tony’s side, she had no choice but to let the former go. Meanwhile, Kurt, who had always listened to her, accepted the task obediently. Hence, he would not be showing up around the house for a few days. Tony, at the same time, was being rather obedient and had not demanded to see his “Daddy.”

“Hey, Babe.” Tiffany greeted Amelia warmly with a huge hug. She then said excitedly, “Have you heard? My second fantasy novel’s filming right has been bought over by a major film company in Beshya. This novel has been in discussion for three years. None of the companies in the past thought it would do well. Who would’ve expected this famous company to have such a good eye and even sign the contract? Ah, this is so liberating. I can finally tell my peers that my first few novels are still worth reading, unlike theirs, which are not only sought after by a very small group of fans but also have no value in them.”

Amelia was happy for her, too. She knew what the second novel meant to Tiffany—a work made with blood, sweat, and tears. However, it was labeled worthless among her peers. They said it had had no logic and was full of nonsense, suitable for young girls only, and people in their twenties who had good taste would never even glance at it.

Such spiteful comments were a huge blow to Tiffany. On the contrary, her later works were so successful that they were sold out in huge numbers. On top of that, many praised her by saying her writing had improved. There were even one to two books that were labeled as classics. Nevertheless, the trauma from the spiteful comments on her first two fantasy novels was deeply rooted in her heart.

“Tiff, I’m really happy for you. You have finally proved to yourself that you can do it!” Amelia congratulated her from the bottom of her heart.

Tiffany’s face was full of smiles. She lifted Tony up and planted kisses on his face. “Oh, Tony. You must be my little lucky star. Ever since your mommy gave birth to you, luck has been on my side.”

Tony was not mad at the kisses. Instead, he returned Tiffany the favor and said, “As long as you’re happy, I’ll be happy too.”

His words almost melted Tiffany’s heart. “I’m going to whip up something delicious for you later.”

“Tiffy, I’m craving for your special honey BBQ pork ribs.”

Amelia could not help but smile as she watched the exchange between the two of them. However, a single phone call interrupted the jolly atmosphere in the house.

As she took out her phone, an indecipherable expression appeared on her face when she saw who the caller was. She stared at the screen for a long time and didn’t answer the call.

Tiffany lifted her head, instantly noticing Amelia’s grim expression. She quickly calmed Tony down, approached Amelia, and took a glance at her phone. A second later, she raged, “The Winters family? They haven’t contacted you in so many years. How do they even have your new number?”

Amelia finally returned to her senses, and she looked at Tiffany helplessly.

Tiffany held her friend’s shoulders, trying to suppress the surprise in her, and said gently, “Babe, the fact that the Winters family are giving you a call after so many years might not be a good sign. They might be up to something. I think it’s best if you don’t answer it.”

Amelia’s lips curled into a wry smile. “It’s true that they don’t see me as their family. But they never made things hard for me on purpose. Besides, they even paid for my university. It’s not right for a daughter to ignore her family’s call.”

Tiffany held her hands and asked with a complicated expression, “Are you sure about this?”

Although a hesitant look flashed past Amelia’s eyes, she still gave a nod in the end.

“Okay. Answer it then. I’ll be here with you no matter what happens,” Tiffany promised.

Amelia took a deep breath and answered the call. Shortly after, an aged but powerful voice came from the phone.

The Novel will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
