Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 664

Once Amelia had sent her to the neighborhood, Tiffany said, “Babe, thanks for sending me back.”

“Go on in. Be strong and attend the wedding with Derrick,” said Amelia.

Tiffany showed an “okay” gesture before getting out of the car.

Once Amelia got back home, she went to Tony's bedroom. She saw him sleeping in Oscar's arms and making some adorable sounds.

Just as Amelia got nearer to them, Oscar opened his eyes in alertness. When he saw it was her, the harsh look on his face was replaced with tenderness.

Carefully, Oscar shifted his arm and let Tony hug his teddy bear instead. He then got off the bed and reached out to embrace Amelia. “You're back. Why didn't you call me so that I could go and pick you up?”

“I drove Tiff's car back,” said Amelia.

With his arms around her waist, they went back to their bedroom.

“Did the dress fitting go well?” asked Oscar.

Amelia nodded.

Oscar tapped her nose before saying, “Let me tell you a piece of news. I think you will be quite happy to hear about it.”

In response, Amelia blinked in anticipation.

“One of the Hissons is getting married, and our family has received an invitation. When the time comes, both of us will attend the wedding together.”

Amelia smiled lightly. “That is certainly good news.”

Oscar kissed her on the forehead. “Go and take your shower. It's getting late.”

“Okay.”

When Amelia went into the bathroom, Oscar followed her in very quickly. He hugged her naked body from the back and savored the scent of the shower gel on her body.

“Amelia, you smell so good,” uttered Oscar hoarsely.

She turned around and put her arms around his neck as the water flowed down their bodies.

Because of the water, Amelia's eyes were only half-open. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on his lips. When the fire in him was ignited, she retreated and wiped her face. In a coquettish tone, she said, “Oscar, I'm so exhausted today.”

Looking at her, Oscar caught a hint of mischief in her eyes. However, he had no heart to force her when he saw her piteous look.

“Woman, do you know you are playing with fire?” said Oscar in a husky voice. Fortunately for Amelia, Oscar did not pounce on her like a leopard and devour her.

Amelia fluttered her eyelashes at him before saying, “Oscar, go out first and let me take my shower. I'm completely worn out. After spending the entire day drafting designs and going for the gown fitting with Tiff, my whole body is aching. Could you please give me a massage later?”

Oscar looked at her intently and actually intended to leave the bathroom as he was told.

Just as Oscar reached the door, Amelia clung to him like a nimble snake and mumbled daintily, “Oscar, why are you so obedient today?”

At that point, Oscar could not take it anymore. He turned around and pinned her against the wall.

After they were done, Amelia was so wasted that she fell asleep. As such, Oscar had to finish showering her and put her in bed.

He kissed her lightly on her forehead before saying, “Good night and sweet dreams.”

Once he was sated, Oscar, too, fell asleep very soon with Amelia in his arms.

In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day of Derrick's cousin. Since both parties came from prominent families, the wedding was naturally a grand affair.

Amelia was all dressed up as she entered the hotel while holding Oscar's hand.

The guests were mostly from the business world. The moment they spotted Oscar, they began to surround him and chatted away. They would all praise Amelia before changing the topic to work-related stuff. Oscar skillfully deflected their questions and said, “Gentlemen, today I'm only here to attend the wedding with my wife. I just want to take it easy. Perhaps, all of you should do the same too.”

With that, those who wanted to talk about business had no choice but to swallow their words.

“Yes, young man. You're right,” all of them agreed with Oscar. Those businessmen were older than Oscar. However, in terms of business tactics, they were not comparable to him. That was why they were intimidated by Oscar. Deep down, they were worried that he might harbor some malicious motives toward their companies.

With a serious face, Oscar said, “I think I see someone I know. My wife and I will go over to say hello. Please excuse us.”

Everyone around them nodded.

With that, Oscar brought Amelia over to meet Derrick.

When Amelia did not see Tiffany, she asked, “Where's Tiff?”

“She's gone to the washroom.”

Amelia studied Derrick and noticed that he looked particularly dashing that day. He was already outstanding, to begin with, and others paled in comparison to him.

“Derrick, you look very handsome today.”

“Thank you. You look very beautiful too today. Both Mr. Clinton and you are very compatible,” Derrick returned the compliment politely.

Amelia smiled at his words. Seeing that Tiffany was not there yet, she asked, “Since the movie has become a hit, as the producer, you must have made your mark. Now, Tiff is not only a best-selling author, but she is also a highly sought-after screenwriter for several directors. I heard one of the directors wants her to do an adaptation of an action novel. Tiff's career has certainly risen up to a higher level, thanks to her own capabilities. I think it's time for both of you to settle down now. After all, Tiff is not that young anymore.”

Derrick was not bothered by what she had said. Instead, he said seriously, “I already have the ring ready. Once my cousin's wedding is over, I intend to propose to her. We have been together for three years now. It's about time we get married.”

Relief flashed across Amelia's eyes. However, the thought of Kate gave Amelia a headache.

Amelia asked tentatively, “Has your mom agreed?”

Derrick sidestepped the question and replied, “My granddad has agreed.”

It was exactly as Oscar had predicted.

Amelia persisted in her questioning. “Old Mr. Hisson has agreed, but what about Mrs. Hisson?”

Just as Derrick was about to speak, there was a commotion at the entrance. Amelia glanced in that direction and saw that Kate had just arrived. Standing next to her was none other than Crystal.

Amelia narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Derrick. “It looks like Mrs. Hisson and Old Mr. Hisson don't agree with one another. She still has her eyes on the daughter of the Halliwell family as her daughter-in-law.”

A hint of awkwardness flashed across Derrick's eyes when he saw his mom walk in with Crystal as if they were mother and daughter.

Derrick assured Amelia, “I will convince my mom. Sooner or later, she will like Tiff.”

“What if your mom never likes Tiff in this lifetime? Will you be willing to cut all ties with your family?” questioned Amelia as she eyed him carefully. No one was sure if she was making things difficult for him on purpose or if she was testing him.

Derrick lowered his eyes at her intense stare. By the time he looked up again, he said confidently, “No, I won't. I will try my best to make sure that Tiff and my family get along. If I can't even manage the relationship between my wife and my mom, then I'm not fit to be a man.”

Amelia gave him a bright smile and patted his shoulders. “Derrick, I have always had faith in you.”

Derrick chuckled at her words.

Right then, Kate came over to them with Crystal by her side. “Oscar, Amelia, you are here.”

Oscar merely nodded politely.
