Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 845

Chapter 843

When Amelia returned home with Tony, balloons written with words were floating everywhere in the room. When combined together, the words on the balloons read: Honey and Tony, I love you, and I'll love you forever and always. You two are my everything.

In the next moment, everybody came running out of the room and popped the party poppers on them. Oscar, who had headed upstairs ahead of them, pushed a kitchen cart out with a cake on it and came to a halt before Amelia and Tony.

He looked toward Amelia with a loving demeanor. “Today is the day Tony is discharged from the hospital and the day of his rebirth. I prepared a cake to celebrate that the bad luck haunting him is no more. I hope Tony will live his life healthily and prosperously from this point onward, and this is the only wish I have for him as his father.”

Amelia gazed up a little, and her eyes turned misty. “Oscar, when did you prepare all these?”

“That's a secret I can't tell you.” Oscar bent down to retrieve a bouquet consisting of nine red roses. “This is for my wife I hold dearest. I hope that she'd like it.”

Staring at the fiery red roses, Amelia smiled through her tears, for he would easily melt her heart whenever he got all romantic.

She took the bouquet of roses from him and smiled. “It's an ordinary move, but what can I say? Women just love flowers, so I very much like it.” Amelia counted the roses and smiled again. “Oh? Nine roses? Oscar, are you trying to tell me that you will love me forever?”

“No. Just one life is not enough. My endless love for you will last eternally,” he replied.

“So cheesy!” Amelia purred, “But I like it.”

An eternal, endless love? I like it.

Amelia carried Tony up and put him closer to Oscar. “Tony, your daddy put in a lot of effort in preparing all this for you. Shouldn't you give him something in return?”

Tony stared at Oscar with a pair of bright eyes before bursting into laughter and saying, “Daddy.”

Oscar's pupils shrank, and his eyes widened when he heard that. Joy filled his eyes, and he was overwhelmed with happiness. Ecstatic, he quickly took Tony from Amelia, hugged him tightly, and kissed him repeatedly on his cheeks. “Good boy, what did you just call me? Can you say that again? I'd love to hear it again.”

“Daddy, Daddy, Daddy...” Tony obediently said that again and again.

This was the first time Tony was willing to address Oscar as “Daddy” ever since he returned.

Oscar was over the moon. In fact, the excitement he felt was far greater than when he acquired a project worth hundreds of million. He never realized that his son calling him “Daddy” affectionately would make him so happy. At that moment, Oscar felt proud and contented because of the fact that he had a son.

He felt that his life was complete now that he had a wife and a son by his side.

At the side, Amelia looked at them with a smile on her face. She, too, felt warm and contented. As for Isabella's attempt to sow discord among them, it was completely ignored by Amelia.

Once the father and son were done showing affection for each other, Oscar said, “Let's enjoy the cake first, shall we?”

Tony wrapped his arms around his father's neck and responded sweetly, “Daddy, I want an Ultraman toy as a gift. Can you buy one for me?”

“Okay. I promise you that it will be on the headboard of your bed when you wake up tomorrow.” Oscar happily obliged and nodded.

Tony sensibly gave Oscar another kiss on his cheek again in response. “It's good to have a daddy! I'll tell my friends that my daddy is a hero once I'm back at school!”

Oscar felt even prouder now. After accepting his father from the bottom of his heart, Tony was much more affectionate to his father now by addressing the latter as “Daddy” instead of “Big Meanie.”

Oscar then carried Tony in his arms to have Tony cut the cake while Jolin and the others followed behind them. Just as the atmosphere was harmonious and lovely, the doorbell rang.

Oscar couldn't help but frown at the ringing doorbell. Seeing that, Jolin hurriedly said, “Boss, I'll get rid of them.”

Amelia, however, shook her head. “Jolin, since they're here, they're considered our guests. Let them in.”

“Understood, Mrs. Clinton.” Jolin went to answer the door. Surprisingly, it was Carter and Jennifer standing outside.

Jolin glanced at Hugo, who was tasked to keep an eye on Carter and Jennifer, before she stood sideways and made way for the two.

“Carter, you're here. Come and have a piece of cake.” Amelia welcomed them after glancing at the pair.

Carter walked up to her. Suddenly, he bowed at Amelia and Oscar solemnly. “Amelia, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Jennifer.”

“Did she do something wrong and offend me?” Amelia feigned ignorance.

Carter was taken aback by her words, and he said, “I know both Mr. Clinton and you think that Tony's abduction is masterminded by Jennifer, but I believe that this has nothing to do with her. Could you please forgive her? She just wanted to ask everyone out to have fun. She definitely didn't expect that would happen.”

Amelia regarded him with a half-smile. “Did I ever say the kidnapping is Ms. Larson's doing?”

Carter stared at her quietly. He felt rather annoyed, as he never thought that Amelia would speak to him that way.

Amelia said, “Anyway, since you're here, why don't you sit down and have a piece of cake? Oscar prepared this specifically for Tony. After all, Tony has just experienced a scary incident.”

Carter's gaze darkened, and he nodded. “Okay. It's been a while since I had cake.”

Amelia invited them to have a seat at the table, gave them each a slice of cake respectively, and said, “Try it. I hope you like the cake.”

Carter took a bite and found that the cake was neither too sweet nor too bland.

“Not bad,” he said.

Amelia shifted her gaze toward Jennifer, who remained silent all the while, and said, “Ms. Larson, do you not like the cake?”

Snapping out of her brief trance, Jennifer raised her head. Her mouth twitched after her eyes met Amelia's calm and indifferent gaze. “No, it's not that. The cake's delicious.”

“Good. Here, have some more.” Amelia immediately gave her another slice of cake without showing any changes in her emotions.

Jennifer stole a glance at Amelia in response. She couldn't tell what exactly the husband and wife were thinking in their minds.

In the meantime, Oscar, who had remained silent all the while, spoke up. “Ms. Larson, I heard that your mother went to an overseas rehabilitation center, right? I also learned that the environment and facilities there were decent. What do you say if I think of a way to have your parents return to the country?”

Jennifer froze, and her eyes widened. She clenched the little spoon in her hand tightly and replied, “Oscar, what do you want? I didn't do anything to Tony. Don't you dare lay a finger on my mother, or I'll come at you no matter what it costs.”

Oscar glared at her with a piercing gaze and radiated a powerful presence, which made Jennifer's heart skip a beat. She feared that Oscar would do something horrible to her mother, who was now overseas. Jennifer might have planned to do something to Tony, but June had used her. Before she could even react, June had already executed the plan in advance, leaving her to face Oscar's wrath alone.

Jennifer let out a sigh, and with a softened tone, she said, “Mr. Clinton, I can explain myself. I honestly have nothing to do with Tony's abduction. My parents are now overseas because you gave them no choice, and I'm the only support the Larson family has now. I resent your merciless actions, but I'm not cold-blooded enough to harm a child. It is unjustified for you to take such extreme moves against me.”

Oscar's lips curled into a smile. A contemptuous look flashed across his eyes.

“Ms. Larson, the truth will reveal itself eventually if you have indeed done something unspeakable. I specifically had my men look into your past two days ago. I honestly wouldn't know that you and June were such a lovely couple if I didn't look into you. I reckon that Mr. Scott would be very interested in what I found.” Oscar paused for a few seconds before he continued, “You and June showed up in Centennial Light more than dozens of times. You two appeared to be very intimate, and you both even stayed in Hotel Van Hutton together for five days and four nights. Aside from having your meal outside, you stayed in the room the entire day. Do you want me to continue? Fine. When you accepted Mr. Scott's proposal, you spent the night with June for a very long time before you left in a car. Hmmm. I suppose you live a very interesting nightlife, don't you? You're very bold to cheat on someone else so openly.”

Jennifer's face turned ashen after she heard Oscar's words. Embarrassed by the truth revealed by Oscar, Jennifer averted her eyes from Carter. She knew that Oscar was retaliating against her. Whether or not she was part of the abduction, she was the one that had invited them for a trip. Additionally, she appeared to have a close relationship with June. Since they appeared to be close with each other, it did not matter whether she was truly intimate with June. In any case, Oscar would still think that she was one of the culprits behind Tony's abduction.

Oscar was truly exceptional among the younger generations of the Clintons. He knew where to strike and how to deal a mighty blow. Knowing that she still cared for Carter, Oscar exploited her weak spot and pulverized Carter's hope for her.

It turned out that this man was viciously fierce.

Thousands of thoughts raced through Jennifer's mind. She sprang up from her seat and said, “Please excuse me. I have something I need to attend to. You guys have fun.”
