Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Teach Him A Lesson

After Benjamin’s angry outburst, the tension in the apartment became so thick that one could cut it with a knife. Even Amelia, who had always been clingy, refused to come out of her room. Likewise, her friends stayed out of Benjamin’s sight the entire time, leaving Sean all alone in the living room.

“Where’s your mother?” Benjamin asked.

“She’s in her room.”

“Get her some food, then. We don’t want to starve her, do we?”

“Dad, you should know what Mom wants,” Sean muttered in exasperation.

“Sean, you’ve always been my pride and joy, which is why I’ve entrusted you with many responsibilities. It’s bad enough that your mother is throwing this tantrum, but must you follow in her footsteps, too?”

Upon hearing that, Sean fell silent.

“All right, that’s enough. I’m going out to make a call before meeting up with a friend from Beshya. Don’t wait up for me. I won’t be coming back tonight.”

As soon as he said that, Benjamin turned and walked toward the door.

“Dad, I don’t know what reason you have for not wanting to acknowledge her, but why can’t you spare a thought for Mom?” Sean suddenly said. “She has been carrying the guilt and pain with her for over twenty years. If you care about Mom, you should be helping to free her from this emotional prison. Or will you only be happy when something untoward happens to her?”

Benjamin’s steps faltered, but eventually, he left without a word.

Sean plopped down on the sofa as he buried his face in his hands, feeling utterly frustrated yet so helpless.

There was no doubt that the Huttons were in for a long and restless night.

The next day, Benjamin came to Amelia and Tiffany’s apartment early in the morning. Shortly after he rang the doorbell, Tiffany answered the door.

She might have only seen him once, but Tiffany recognized Benjamin immediately. “You must be Mr. Hutton.”

“That’s right. I’m Amelia’s father. We met briefly yesterday, didn’t we? Is it okay if I come in?”
