Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 215 Conflict Between Mother And Daughter

“I’ll ask Tiffany to bring Tony over to you. There are still plenty of guests milling around, so I need to socialize with them,” Oscar said, before kissing her lips softly.

Amelia blinked innocently.

“Be good.” Oscar patted her hair affectionately and stood up.

After Oscar closed the door behind him, the smile on Amelia’s face disappeared. She seemed conflicted.

Staring at the ceiling, she mumbled in disappointment, “Oscar, you had proclaimed your love for me, but why can’t you be honest with me?”

Right then, Tiffany arrived with Tony, interrupting her train of thought.

Carefully, Amelia got up and looked at Tony, who was in Tiffany’s arms.

Tiffany placed the sleeping baby on the bed slowly. As Amelia reached out to touch him, her gaze turned tender.

“When did he fall asleep?” she queried.

“Just a while ago. Babies like to sleep,” Tiffany revealed. “I think you should only invite your close friends and relatives to the welcome baby party. It’s a party downstairs.”

Actually, Amelia didn’t like crowded parties at all. The party was held in Tony’s name, but it was in fact a place for the business people to talk business. To ordinary people, it was a place where they could get to know the upper-class society. Many people would die to get an invitation to this party.

“Tiff, many people would die to get invited to the Clintons’ party. Only the rich and powerful would receive an invitation. As a freelancer, you didn’t grab the chance to establish connections but came to complain to me about how noisy the party is instead,” Amelia teased, pretending nothing had happened earlier.

Tiffany shrugged. “Babe, you know I don’t care about money and fame. I enjoy earning money myself, but that doesn’t mean I want to climb up the ranks using someone else’s connections. It might seem easier to make money that way, but I don’t get the sense of accomplishment from that.”

Shaking her head, Amelia chuckled. “You’re wasting the chance.”

“Babe, you mean you want me to have connections with the Clintons?”

After a brief hesitation, Amelia chose to be honest with her. “To be honest, I don’t want you to have anything to do with the Clintons. If you get involved, many people will target you. Your life won’t be peaceful anymore. When you get more famous, you’ll be busy with book signings and fan meetings. There are bound to be people with ulterior motives who’ll try to get to know you through these means. If you want fame and fortune, I would’ve achieved your dreams ages ago.”

Tiffany snapped her fingers in satisfaction. “You know me well, friend,” she exclaimed. “I’m glad to have you as a friend!”

Amelia gave her a playful push.

They exchanged banter for a while before Tiffany went back to topic. “Amelia, be honest with me. Remember the commotion caused by the Yards and Stephanie? Did that irritate you?”

Amelia could only smile wryly.
