Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 672

Chapter 672 Filial But Not Close

The next day, with Tony in her arms, Amelia was about to head to St. David’s Church with Oscar when she ran into Eleanor as soon as they stepped out the door.

 

“Lia!” Eleanor’s arms were laden with all kinds of gifts. Seeing how lightly dressed the three of them were, she guessed that they were going out. “Where are you going?”

Amelia’s eyes flickered. She smiled and said, “Why didn’t you give me a call when you’ve come all the way from Saspiuburg, Mrs. Hutton?”

“I went back to discuss the divorce, but it didn’t work out. I missed you and Tony so much. Here are some supplements from Saspiuburg for you guys.” Eleanor raised the bags in her hands. “Could you open the door and let me bring the gifts in?”

 

Amelia had Oscar open the door for her.

After putting the gifts away, Eleanor turned to face them. “Where are you going, Lia? Would you mind if I joined you?”

“Oscar and I plan to go up to St. David’s Church today.”

 
 
 
 
 
 

“Are you not well, Lia? Is it serious?” Eleanor asked anxiously.

Amelia shook her head. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Hutton,” she reassured the older woman. “I’m fine. I just want to pray for a friend.”

Eleanor heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Let me come with you.”

 

Her inclusion made the trio a quartet.

As soon as the four exited the elevator, they saw two familiar silhouettes, the Hutton siblings, standing before the elevator doors.

Eleanor scowled.

Amelia Hutton approached them with a frown. “Why did you come to Tayhaven without telling Sean and me, Mom? We were so worried about you.”

“Go home,” Eleanor said tartly. “I have settled here.”

Amelia Hutton took a deep breath and willed herself to calm down.

She then walked up to Amelia Winters and Oscar and greeted them politely, “Hello, Amy. Hello, Oscar.”

“Good to see you here at Tayhaven too, Amelia,” Amelia Winters responded in kind.

Amelia Hutton gave her a lingering, meaningful look. “Can we talk, Amy?”

“Oscar and I are going to church. We can talk when I get back if you don’t mind.”

Amelia Hutton glanced at Oscar surreptitiously, and a plan hatched in her mind a moment later. “Do you mind if Sean and I tag along, Amy?”

 

Amelia Winters fell silent.

Eleanor pulled her daughter away. “Stop pestering us. Return to Saspiuburg with your brother. Your father and I are destined to get divorced, not to mention that it doesn’t help that he’s trying to avoid having to face me. I just need to split my time between these two cities for two years, and my marriage will have broken down enough for me to ask the court for a divorce.”
