Love You Enough to Leave You

“Mom says she and dad want to send us some food, and she told us to wait for them in the hotel.”

Oscar stroked her hair and smiled. “I think your mom wants to mend things between you and the family. You've always been upset with the Winters family's cold treatment on you. Now that she wants to mend things, you must be feeling happy, right?”

There was an indescribable feeling in Amelia's heart, and she did not know how to explain it.

During the afternoon, Melanie and Dominic went over to the hotel, bringing many things along with them. Dominic even had a sack with him.

Amelia's lips twitched, asking, “Dad, what's this?”

“These are the honeydew your dad and I picked. We planted them, so there's no pesticide used. They are super sweet. Though you two are rich, the melons you eat have tons of chemicals in them. Therefore, your dad and I have decided to bring you two some fresh fruits,” Melanie said non-stop.

A warm feeling filled Amelia's heart. It was her first time witnessing Melanie showing her care.

It was a strange feeling; yet, one she had been longing for.

One by one, Melanie took out all the things she brought, which were all edibles, such as watermelon, honeydew, pickled fish, jerky, and all kinds of local delicacies.

“Amelia, I know you and Oscar are used to eating good food. These fruits we brought might not suit your tastes, but it's just a kind gesture from us. Please don't refuse them,” Melanie said shyly, looking at the things she brought.

Amelia smiled. “Why would I? They're amazing! I was just talking to Oscar two days ago about where to find fruits that have no pesticides. Who would've known that you'd bring some over? It's as if our thoughts are linked.”

Melanie blushed.

“Oh, what do you mean by our thoughts are linked? Is that how you use such romantic words? You silly girl. Anyway, I'm glad you like it. Well, we'll get going now. When are you two returning to Tayhaven? We'll come and send you off.” After beating around the bush for a while, she finally revealed her intentions of coming.

“Our flight is at eleven o'clock in the morning. We've got some work to do, and I can't leave Tony alone for too long.”

Melanie nodded and pursed her lips, looking rather awkward as she said, “I have to admit that I treated Tony harshly when Spencer was admitted to the hospital. That boy must be disappointed with me. Could you please apologize on my behalf? I was just too anxious about Spencer's condition. I didn't mean to treat Tony like that.”

“It's fine, Mom. Tony is a happy kid. He won't blame you for doing that,” Amelia assured.

“That's great then.”

Amelia hesitated for a moment, but she still said, “Mom, I've reunited with my biological mother. So, you don't have to worry about Mr. Hutton harming you.”

Melanie's fingers tensed, and she forced a smile. “That's good. Back then, Dominic and I did not want you to meet your biological parents because of Spencer. Then again, it's not something that can be avoided when you're related by blood. It's great that you've reunited with them. At least I won't feel guilty about your mother.”

Amelia said, “Mom, I've never blamed you and Dad for that.”

Melanie looked at her deeply.

After chatting with the elderly couple, Amelia sent them off.

The next day, all four of them went to the airport. Even Crosby and his wife were there. At the same time, Crosby was holding a little girl's hand, who looked as delicate as a barbie doll.

Amelia fell in love with her at first glance.

Squatting down to stare at the little girl, Amelia greeted, “Hello, little princess. I'm Amelia. You're as pretty as a barbie doll, and you look just like your mommy.”

The little girl was not timid. She gazed at Amelia with her shiny eyes, responding, “I know you. Mommy told me before that you're the second prettiest woman next to her gorgeous looks. But I have a secret to tell you. I think you're prettier than Mommy.”

Though she said it was a secret, her sweet voice was so clear that everyone at the scene heard her.
