Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 846 Suspicion

Oscar hugged Amelia as they admired the empire he built single-handedly. In the past, he never invited her over because he did not want her to get involved in the negative things that were done on the side. However, he had spent some time and thought things through. Amelia was, after all, his wife. She had every right to know his negative side. On top of that, he wanted to train Tony. Hence, Oscar had to let Amelia have a look.

“What do you think?” Oscar asked proudly. Amelia nodded in response. Feeling as if she had not expressed her feelings enough, she tiptoed and pecked Oscar on his cheek, saying, “Oscar, to me, you’re like a superhero no one can surpass. I used to think you were just a successful businessman. Well, looks like I’m wrong. You’re an omnipotent superhero.”

Oscar smiled. He felt so elated as if he was on cloud nine. Amelia turned to face Tony, saying, “Tony, your daddy is an excellent person. You cannot be a coward, okay? Though I don’t expect you to do things perfectly, as the eldest grandson of the Clinton family, there will be times when you’re not allowed to be scared or back down. I hope you can understand why I’m making you pick up combat skills at such a young age. Being in this industry puts you in all kinds of unseen danger. I can’t bear to take the risk.”

Tony listened attentively albeit not really understanding what she said. He put on a serious expression and said, “Mommy, I like learning combat skills. I’ll become very powerful, and I’ll protect you in the future.”

Amelia smiled in relief, feeling blessed to have such an obedient and understanding son.

She was not sure about other people’s children, but she knew Tony had been an obedient child since young. In fact, he had never once caused her trouble during the two years when she lost her sight. When he could finally speak, he began to take care of his blind mother by massaging her back and pouring her glasses of water with those chubby hands of his. Tony was practically her pillar of emotional support.

Oscar brought Amelia and Tony around the place. Finally, he told Jolin to take Amelia out to get some food while he brought Tony to the training room.

Amelia said, “Oscar, I want to have a look, too.”

To her surprise, Oscar objected, “Go and grab something to eat with Jolin. I’m quite strict with my trainees. I’m afraid you’ll be worried.”

Amelia thought about it and nodded. Perhaps she, too, was afraid of seeing Tony having a hard time.

With that, Oscar lifted Tony and walked in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, Amelia kept staring at their backs. Seeing that, Jolin cleared her throat and said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Clinton. I’m sure Mr. Anthony will be incredibly outstanding under Boss’ training. One day, all of us will serve Mr. Anthony.”

Amelia retracted her gaze and smiled.

“Mrs. Clinton, do you not want Mr. Anthony to take over Boss’ empire?” Jolin asked tentatively.

Amelia cracked a smile, asking, “Why do you ask that?”

“I’m just wondering if you’re thinking it’s too young for Mr. Anthony to be getting involved in all this. We might be officially called bodyguards, but, in reality, we carry out a lot of dangerous tasks on the side. If I were you, I wouldn’t want Mr. Anthony to be involved in all this, either. Then again, there isn’t much of a choice. Mr. Anthony is Boss’ only son. He has to take over everything Boss has built.”

Amelia’s heart sank a little, but she still joked, “Jolin, are you saying Oscar does smuggling as well?”

Jolin widened her eyes in disbelief. “Mrs. Clinton, how could you say that? Boss is a businessman who abides by the law. Every cent he earns comes from a proper channel. Otherwise, he’d be arrested right away with so many people watching him.”

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that. “My apologies. I misunderstood your words.”

“Mrs. Clinton, please don’t think negatively about Boss’ job when I say it’s dangerous. He even secretly… Ah, never mind. He probably didn’t tell you because he thinks it’s not time yet. Anyway, you can just ask him if there’s anything you want to know,” Jolin said, changing the topic all of a sudden.

Amelia did not press on, either. She said, “Jolin, I noticed the facilities here use rather advanced technology. Do you guys have robots?”

“Yep. The first robot is a beautiful woman. Do you want to see it?”

Amelia’s eyes lit up, and she nodded. “Yes.”

Hence, Jolin brought Amelia to the robot. As Amelia stared at the robot that looked no different from a human, she could not help but find it familiar looking.

Reading her mind, Jolin said, “You find her familiar looking, right? She’s Tilly. Previously, she went to Anglandur with Kurt and Hugo for a mission. Sadly, she died in the process. That’s why we created this robot to remember her.”

Amelia recalled the face of a cold, aloof, and pretty lady.

“So, it’s her. Can I touch her?” Amelia took a step forward.

Jolin went to the back of the robot and pressed a button. Immediately, the robot came to life and bowed to Amelia. “Hello, Mrs. Clinton.”
