Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 382 A Relenting Heart

With Amelia in his arms, Oscar sat on the bed and said, “Amelia, we will be heading to Anglandur tomorrow. As for Mrs. Hutton, do you want me to investigate her background? Given how much you resemble her, it’s impossible for you two not to be related by blood.”

“Are you saying that she’s my biological mother?” Amelia stated out loud what he was inferring.

“Yes, I noticed that her concern for you exceeds what an ordinary person would have. Haven’t you suspected that she has an agenda by trying to get close to you?” Oscar asked while fiddling with her hair.

Smiling wryly, Amelia replied, “Of course I did. However, since she’s unwilling to acknowledge it, there’s no point in me breaking that barrier. After all, I’m just happy with the way things are.”

“Why?”

Amelia briefly related how Benjamin treated her.

With a sharpened gaze, Oscar declared, “You do not need his approval. Given that only I am allowed to bully you, he has crossed the line by doing so. It looks like I must have a chat with this Mr. Hutton you speak of.”

With her troubles all behind her now, Amelia gradually beamed.

“There’s no need to. He’s just worried that I’ve approached his wife and daughter with an agenda. After all, everyone that’s rich suffers from the same fear,” Amelia replied with a smile. With regards to Benjamin, Amelia wasn’t too keen on getting to know him better even if he might be her biological father. Not only do they have incompatible personalities, but Benjamin also disliked her. In fact, he resented the idea of accepting her into the Hutton family, and that was the reason why he objected to Eleanor interacting with Amelia.
