Love You Enough To Leave You Chapter 241
Chapter 241 The Walker Family
Oscar took Stephanie along and headed back to the Clinton residence. Getting the car parked, he
turned to look at her, who had already fallen asleep at the back seat. “We’ve reached. Wake up now.”
Stephanie pulled herself up, tidied her creased dress, and exhaustedly said, “We’ve reached?”
Oscar nced at her and replied, “Don’t expose yourself after getting down the car.”
Stephanie nodded.
She did not look too well, and even thick makeup could not cover her paleplexion. Besides, her
voice sounded somewhat weak since her whole body was aching so badly.
Getting out of the car, Oscar could not help but reprimand Stephanie after seeing her still looking
extremely lethargic. “Get yourself together!”
Stephanie did not dare to go against him again.
Olivia was carrying onto Tony and chatting with Owen when the siblings stepped foot into the living
room. Upon seeing them, Olivia hurriedly said, “You’re back? Perfect timing. The Walker family will be
here soon.” She then waved to Stephanie and continued, “Stephanie,e over here. I want to talk to
you.”
Pretending like she was perfectly normal, Stephanie straightened her back, walked over, and chose a
spot quite near to Olivia to sit down. “Mom, what is it?”
The observant Olivia cast her a nce and questioned, “What’s wrong with you? You don’t look too
good.”
Instinctively, Stephanie looked at Oscar and answered in fear, “I’m fine, Mom. There’s nothing wrong
with me. I’m just hungry and thinking about what dishes the cook will be preparing today.”
Olivia was not convinced and shot a nce at Oscar as she whispered, “Are you two in a conflict?”
Stephanie shook her head. “Mom, I’m fine. Don’t overthink. Oh yeah, I heard from Oscar that you’re
finding me a partner. Who’s that? You know I’ve very high expectations; I won’t be interested if he’s not
handsome or rich. Don’t me me for showing him attitudeter.”
Olivia smiled. As she was cajoling Tony in her arms, she said, “You don’t have to worry about that.
You’ve seen Noah before. You guys used to be ymates but got separated because his family
migrated to Anndur. They’ve returned two days ago, and Mr. Walker mentioned that Noah has
intentions to advance his career here. I thought it’d be great to introduce this fine young man to you, so
please behave and put on your best performanceter. You got it?”
Even though Stephanie put on a smile and looked like an obedient daughter, her mind had long
wandered far away. There was no reason for her to get acquainted with good-looking guys through
matchmaking at that point in time. Therefore, she had no intention of knowing who Noah was, and
neither was she interested in getting to know him. All she wanted was to lie on her bed since she was
aching all over.
Oscar’s brutal punishment methods were the cause of her pain. Every step she took felt so arduous,
and the pain was so immense that she could feel it in every inch of her body.
“Mom, where’s Amelia?” Oscar ced his hands on his hips and finally asked.
Olivia wriggled her lips in the direction of the kitchen and smiled. “I thought you’ll be able to hold it in
longer. It seems like you’ve failed within a few seconds.”
Speaking of the devil, Amelia walked out of the kitchen with a te of fresh fruits in her hands. Upon
seeing Oscar, she could not help but lift the corners of her lips into a smile. But that immediately faded
when she saw Stephanie on the couch.
Heading over and putting the te of fruits on the table, she then said to Oscar, “You’re back.”
Oscar nodded in response.
Stephanie stood up from the couch and respectfully said, “Hi, Amelia.”
Taken aback by her attitude, Amelia looked at her with caution while wondering what tricks she had up
her sleeves this time.
Stephanie pointed to the space on the couch and continued, “Amelia, take a seat here. You must be
tired after the whole day. Let me give you a massage.”
Amelia warily took a step back. If Owen or Olivia were not present at the scene, she would definitely
have asked Stephanie why she was acting so strangely.
“Amelia, have a seat. I’ll get you some cut apples.” Stephanie’s warm gesture certainly freaked Amelia
out.
She once got led on because of how unpredictable Stephanie was. If she got fooled again while she
had her guard up against her, that would mean she was not just innocent but in dumb.
Simrly, Olivia found Stephanie’s behavior extremely odd. “Stephanie, what are you doing? Behave
yourself. You’re scaring Amelia.”
Hearing that, Stephanie took another nce at Oscar, only to find him looking very grim. That instantly
sent a chill down her spine, and she obediently put the apple back onto the te and giggled. “Mom, I
just thought I was in the wrong previously, so I wanted to show my best self in front of Amelia to let her
know that I’ve truly repented and that was not just some words.”

That only raised Olivia’s suspicions. She then found Oscar walking over to sit beside Amelia, while
Stephanie hastily avoided, terrified.
Olivia curiously asked, “Oscar, have you been picking on your sister?”
Oscar said nothing and instead gave Stephanie a threatening look. Thetter then immediately
muttered, “Oscar treats me very well, Mom. I suddenly feel like feeding you an apple slice. Here, try
one and see if it’s sweet.”
She then stuffed a slice into Olivia’s mouth. Seeing that, Owen frowned and reprimanded, “Stephanie,
what exactly are you doing?”
Petrified, Stephanie froze in the spot. Sneaking a peek at Oscar only made her more frantic than
before.
When Oscar faked a few coughs, Stephanie immediately reacted like a robot receiving the signals.
“Mom, are you alright? I didn’t do that on purpose. Come, drink some water. I mean no harm; I purely
wanted to let you try if the apples are sweet enough.”
Olivia snatched the ss of water from her hand and pointed at the sofa on the opposite side.
“Stephanie, sit down.”
Stephanie immediately sat down upon hearing her mother’s instructions.
“What exactly is wrong with you, Stephanie? I’ve observed you for a while, and you seem to be out of
sorts. Tell me honestly. Did anyone bully you when your dad and I weren’t around?”
Stephanie shook her head at once.
But her immediate response only proved that something was definitely off.
Olivia quietly nced at theposed Oscar and said, “Tell me honestly, Stephanie. Are you and
Oscar in a conflict? Something feels amiss ever since the two of you came in. Did Oscar do something
mean to you?”
As much as Stephanie wanted to be upfront, she did not dare to. She was clear who had the final say
in the household. Even though Olivia looked like she held the authority, Oscar was the person in power.
As long as Oscar wanted to teach someone a lesson, no one, including his parents, would be able to
stop him.
Being a willfuldy, Stephanie was, nevertheless, not a fool. Especially after getting punished
mercilessly by Oscar twice, if she still refused to shut herself up from spouting nonsense, Oscar’s
threats of sending her to the drug dealers might really materialize.
She wanted to survive, so she did not dare to take any gamble.
“That’ll never happen, Mom. It’s just that I’ve thought it through. I feel bad that I’ve only been busy
having fun and never spare time for you and Dad, so I wanted to make it up to the both of you. But I
can’t believe you thought I was weird for being nice to you. I’m really disappointed, to be honest.”
At this point, Olivia was still skeptical.
Owen then chimed in, “Since Stephanie has finally learned to be sensible, you should stop being
doubtful of her anymore.”
“We’re d that you’re thinking that way. Just don’t be so touchy in the future.” Olivia finally bought the
story and smiled.
“I got it, Mom,” Stephanie politely replied.
Then, Olivia turned to Amelia, and just as she was about to say something, a young servant walked in
from outside and said, “Mrs. Clinton, the Walker family is here.”
Owen and Olivia got up together, and thetter smiled as she said, “They’re here, finally. Perfect time
for dinner.”
Oscar then put his arms around Amelia to support her up.
There came five people from the Walker family. Besides Matthew and Carol, there were also a young
man and twodies. The man, d in a smart-casual outfit and seemingly in histe twenties, had a
faint smile on his face. He also had a pair of sses on, making him look like a mature gentleman. The
fine-lookingdies, on the other hand, seemed to be in their mid-twenties, stylishly dressed. The taller
one was gorgeous, while the petite one looked pure and cute. On one look, anyone could tell they were
siblings with the resemnce they shared. As for Matthew and Carol, they carried the vibes of being
cultured and well-educated. The family of five gave others a pretty good first impression.
Owen and Olivia went up and warmly greeted, “You are finally here, Matthew.”
“There’s a bit of traffic on the way, so we’re slightlyte,” Matthew replied.
Olivia smiled. “You guys arrived just in time for dinner.”
Matthew and Carol merely smiled.
Pulling the two youngdies over, Carol said, “Olivia, these are my daughters. The elder one is
Isabe, and the younger one is Rachel.”
Taking a look at them, Olivia was nothing but full of praises. “So they’re Isabe and Rachel? They’re
indeed fine-looking and so gorgeous, unlike Stephanie.”
Isabe and Rachel were those types ofdies who would win the elders’ favor. After they each affably
left a peck on Olivia’s cheeks, the two said in unison, “Mrs. Clinton, you’re prettier and more amiable in
person than how Mom describes you to be. We love you so much.”
Olivia beamed in delight hearing theirpliments.
The two families then continued to introduce their children to each other.
When introducing Amelia, Noah instinctively took a second nce at her, though he politely averted his
gaze after that. On the contrary, he was more focused on Stephanie, albeit a pity that thetter was not
in good condition then and looked exhausted and dispirited while keeping alert against Oscar.
Olivia prodded Stephanie to signal her to restrain herself. After all, it was not pleasant to be showing
attitude to the Walker family, who were their guests.
Enduring the pain, Stephanie had been in annoyance since long ago. Had it not been for Oscar’s
presence, she definitely would have stopped putting on a fake front and returned to her room.
