Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 885 Here Comes Retribution

Amelia picked Tony up, chided him for using his fists, and assured him that Oscar was not mistreating her. As Tony gazed at his mother, his bright, innocent eyes made her heart twinge.

“Hush, Tony. Your father and I made up. I don’t know how to explain the situation to you, but you must believe that we love you. He does not love you any less than my love for you,” Amelia said gently.

Tony blinked before turning to Kurt. “Daddy treats you well, Mommy. Won’t you consider dumping Big Meanie and being with Daddy?” Tony suggested eagerly.

From Tony’s perspective, Kurt was kinder to him and his mother than Oscar was. Oscar had cruelly hurt his young heart a year before. Despite opening his heart with much difficulty to accept Oscar as his father, Tony changed his mind in the span of a single night. It was something that confused and displeased him. If it were not for upsetting Amelia, he would not have wished to see Oscar.

Witnessing Oscar’s intimacy with another woman a year ago traumatized Tony. Since then, the shadow of Oscar’s betrayal of Amelia haunted him.

Amelia felt helpless, while Oscar gave a bitter laugh. I am sabotaging myself by pushing my son into the arms of another person.

“Let’s go inside for a seat, Boss,” Kurt suggested to alleviate the awkwardness that had arisen from Tony’s words.

Oscar glanced at him and nodded.

Meanwhile, Amelia carried Tony and followed both men in.

“Thank you for taking care of Amelia on my behalf for the past year, Kurt. I am indebted to you for how well you’ve cared for her,” Oscar said solemnly with a grim expression.

Kurt gazed at Oscar with an unfathomable expression as conflicting emotions rose in his heart.

“You tasked me to protect Amelia and Tony, Boss. As such, I am responsible for all aspects of their safety. Also, I am grateful to you for being lenient enough to release me from the organization, and I dare not have you in my debt,” Kurt replied courteously.

Upon hearing that, Oscar smiled. He walked over and patted the other man on the shoulder. Kurt’s handsome features contorted at the gesture but recovered very quickly.

“We are brothers from now on, Kurt. Amelia thinks of you as family, so you are mine as well.” To Kurt, Oscar’s hand felt like a large boulder pressing down on his shoulder, which was beginning to hurt.

“You flatter me, Boss,” Kurt replied, with a slight wince.

A glint flashed across Oscar’s eyes, but his lips remained curled in a smile. “Relax, Kurt. You’re not my bodyguard anymore. We are equals and family from now on. You can count on my support with whatever you wish to do.”

The moment he retracted his hand after speaking, Kurt felt the weight on his shoulder receding instantly and could not help heaving a sigh of relief.

His presence was slightly less intimidating than Oscar’s, whose dominance had earned the former’s utmost respect. If it were not for Amelia, he would not have dared leave the organization as brazenly as he did.

“Thank you, Boss, for your gesture,” Kurt said with his head bowed.

Oscar nodded curtly, then sat on the couch and beckoned Tony over. “Come here, Tony,” he said sternly. “It’s time for a conversation between us men.”

Tony remained rooted to the spot, gazing warily at him.

“You aren’t actually afraid of me, are you, Tony? How are you going to protect Mommy by being this timid? You must stand up to me if you don’t want me to mistreat Mommy. Otherwise, don’t even dream about it for the rest of your life,” Oscar said provocatively.

He knew of Tony’s precociousness, so he did not speak to him like an ordinary child. Instead, he treated him as an equal. That was how his conversation with Tony should be—man to man.

“I’m not afraid of you, Big Meanie.” As expected, Tony fell for it. He stormed over, placed both hands on his hips, and gazed defiantly at Oscar.
