Chapter 603 Troubling Disposition

Amelia and Benjamin came to a cafe near the hospital and ordered two cups of coffee. When their beverages were served, Amelia asked for some sugar.

“Ma’am, here are some sugar as requested.”

“Thank you.”

She scooped a small teaspoon of sugar and added it to her cup. While stirring, she asked, “Mr. Hutton, I wonder about your purpose for traveling such a long way by air to see me. May I know what you would like to discuss with me?”

He scrutinized her and admittedly thought that she looked almost identical to his wife. In fact, they would pass as a pair of twins. Unfortunately, he loathed seeing that face. It kept bugging him as though some unforgettable humiliation would soon be brought to light.

“You look a lot like my wife,” he stated.

“It’s an unexpected honor to be Mrs. Hutton’s look-alike,” Amelia paused her action for a split second and responded magnanimously.

“Ms. Winters, I flew all the way here from Saspiuburg, so I ain’t going to beat around the bush. I believe you have probably discovered the fact that you’re my daughter. To tell you the truth, I have only a son and a daughter. I don’t intend to add any new family member,” Benjamin cut to the chase.

A gracious smile remained plastered on Amelia’s face, and there was no trace of sorrow or anger on her expression. She looked like she was listening attentively to an elderly telling her a story.

“I admire your honesty, Mr. Hutton. Yet, I don’t appreciate your hostility toward me.” She added, “As what you’ve seen, I’m doing very well even without your support or the backing of the Winters family. I have a husband and a son who love me very much. So, I’m not bothered about reuniting with a blood kin. Instead of viewing you and Mrs. Hutton as my long-lost parents, you lot are more like strangers to me. We don’t share a bond. Hence, I’m not keen on claiming my birth parents. Mr. Hutton, please rest assured that my identity as Mrs. Clinton doesn’t stir up a need in me to covet the little wealth that the Huttons possess.”

Pursing his lips, Benjamin gazed at her intently.

He had rehearsed this meet-up for at least a million times on his way here, but he did not expect her to reject him without an ounce of respect or tact.

“I’m delighted to hear this from you, Ms. Winters. I do hope that you’d make your stance clear to my wife and stay consistent in your decision. I don’t wish for you to give her any false hope. Yes, she wants to reconcile with you very badly, but she already has two children. There’s really no need to gild the lily. Thus, your cold and heartless rejection would be the best answer to her.”

At that, Amelia’s lips curled into a smile. A contemptuous look flashed across her eyes.

“Mr. Hutton, I doubt you’ve ever really made an effort to pay the slightest attention to what your wife really wants,” said Amelia.

Benjamin’s expression changed as he was taken aback by her frankness.

After all, truth be told, I’m indeed your daughter. Additionally, I’m married to the heir of the Clinton family, who is way richer than the Huttons. As a businessman, aren’t you an expert in weighing the pros and cons? Don’t you want to recognize me as your legal offspring? Conversely, you acted otherwise. I’m not sure if you’re playing hard to get or am I really that unlovable?” As she stirred her cup of coffee, she got what she wanted to say off
