Chapter 867


    After Amelia calmed Tony down, she went to the study to look for Oscar. She opened the door to see


    Oscar staring at a document on the table. Her heart leaped to her throat as she hurried over to him.


    “Oscar,” she called out.


    It took Oscar a moment to raise his head. He shot Amelia aplicated look before the judging look in


    his eyes slowly faded away.


    “Oscar, what''s the matter? Why are you staring at me like that?” Amelia asked as she forced out a


    smile.


    Getting to his feet, Oscar walked past his study table and went to Amelia. He lowered his head to look


    at her and asked, “Did I upset you earlier?”


    Amelia blinked innocently. “Did you? I only saw a man who adores me greatly.”


    Oscar chuckled out loud. Her words managed to get rid of the doubts in his heart.


    He held her hand, led her to the couch, and pulled her so that she was sitting on hisp. “Amelia, I


    didn''t leave you downstairs on purpose. Many chaotic scenes appeared in my brain out of nowhere, so


    I made up an excuse toe to the study. I don''t know what is wrong with me. Maybe I should get it


    checked at the hospital.”


    Listening to his honest answer, Amelia couldn''t help butfort him. “You were just too busy and didn''t


    get to rest well, silly. You''re an outstanding man, so you have to bear a lot of pressure. Come, let me


    help you rx by giving you a head massage.”


    Oscar rxed and shut his eyes. While giving him a massage, Amelia asked, “Oscar, is this all right?”


    Oscar bobbed his head in response.


    Amelia observed him thoughtfully as she massage him.


    They enjoyed almost an hour of leisure time together before Oscar had to get back to work. Amelia left


    the study and went downstairs.


    “Molly, please take care of Tony. I''m heading to the market to buy some ingredients that the boys love. I


    will be cooking tonight. Tony loves my honey BBQ pork ribs,” Amelia said to Molly with a smile.


    Molly gave her an affectionate one in return. “Mrs. Clinton, let me get the ingredients. You must be tired


    after taking care of Mr. Anthony these few days. I know you love both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Anthony, but


    there is no hurry.”


    Amelia shook her head. “Molly, I''m not tired. I want to cook for them for the rest of my life.”


    Failing to persuade her to change her mind, Molly could only let her be.


    The moment Amelia took the elevator downstairs, Jolin had already driven the car over to pick her up.


    “Mrs. Clinton,” Jolin greeted her.


    “Jolin, didn''t you send someone to tail Isabe? Why didn''t you tell me in advance when she came to


    my house?”


    Jolin hesitated before answering, “Mrs. Clinton, Boss actually stopped us from tailing Ms. Walker a few


    days ago. I was afraid you might overthink, so I didn''t tell you about it.”


    Amelia lowered her head and fell into deep thought as various expressions crossed her face.


    Jolin gazed at her worriedly. “Mrs. Clinton, are you all right?”


    Amelia snapped out of her reverie and turned to look at Jolin. “Did Oscar really stop you from tailing


    Isabe? What else did he say?”


    Jolin pondered over her question and answered, “Boss didn''t really say anything. All he said was that


    Ms. Walker wasn''t actually that annoying, and we shouldn''t make things difficult for her on purpose.”


    Amelia''s fingers twitched as she shut her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was clear.


    She had regained herposure.


    “Come, let''s go to the farmer''s market. I need to buy pork ribs and cook a delicious meal for Tony,”


    Amelia said with feigned nonchnce.


    Jolin turned over to nce at Amelia. She swallowed a lump in her throat and asked, “Mrs. Clinton, are


    you sure you''re all right?”


    A tiny smile flitted across Amelia''s lips as she replied, “Of course. Why wouldn''t I be?”


    Jolin drove without a word, and silence ensued inside the car.


    Around five minutester, Jolin broke the silence. “Mrs. Clinton, I have never been in love, but


    everyone knows how much Boss loves you. He could even sacrifice his own life for you. I am pretty


    sure the woman has nothing to do with him.”


    Amelia made a face as she confessed her concern. “Jolin, I''m not worried about him cheating. I''m just


    afraid that Isabe will do something to him. He has the wrong feelings whenever he sees Isabe now.


    In the past, that would never have happened. I heard that there is something called ck magic from


    Thymion. Can you find an expert in this field to take a look at Oscar?”


    Jolin cast Amelia a strange look as she assumed thetter was thinking too much. “Mrs. Clinton, that


    shouldn''t be the case. You''re thinking too much.” However, recalling how her employer had been


    treating Isabe differently now, she felt furious on Amelia''s behalf and thought it could be possible.


    “Mrs. Clinton, why don''t I send someone to Thymion? I remember Hugo oncepleted a mission in


    Thymion. He might know an expert in that field.”


    “Send Hugo there, then.”


    Jolin nodded. But feeling worried the next moment, she asked, “Mrs. Clinton, even if we managed to


    get the expert toe here, how should we mention it to Boss?”


    Amelia thought about it and said, “I''ll tell him myself.”


    Jolin parted her lips but didn''t say her thoughts out loud. Mrs. Clinton, even though Boss adores you,


    he probably won''t feel good to discover that you thought he was under the influence of ck magic.


    However, Jolin had plenty of experience in life. She had seen much horrible stuff previously. In fact, she


    had seen how ck magic had caused a wealthy man to age quickly. She thought it was possible to


    make a man fall in love with a person through ck magic.


    If that was the case, she had to admit that Isabe was cruel enough toe up with such a horrible


    n.


    Arriving at the farmer''s market, Jolin parked the car. “Mrs. Clinton, I don''t think we should send


    someone to Thymion for now. If Boss is under the influence of ck magic, there is no way Isabe


    can still hover around him but still fail to get into his good books. I think we should get rid of Isabe to


    nip the problem in the bud.”


    Amelia shook her head and shed a bitter smile.


    “Forget it. I was just joking. If we get the expert toe, Oscar will never agree to get checked. Even if


    he agrees to get checked for my sake, he''ll get upset with me deep down. I don''t want to be a fool who


    creates an opportunity for my enemy.” Having said that, she opened the door and got out of the car.


    Jolin heaved a sigh of relief. She was scared that Amelia would act recklessly and send someone to


    Thymion for real.


    At the farmer''s market, Amelia bought many ingredients.


    Jolin took her shopping bags and ced them in the trunk before getting into the driver''s seat and


    starting the engine. “Mrs. Clinton, I have an idea. Why don''t I sneak into the Walker residence at night


    to interrogate Isabe? I''m sure she will reveal everything.”


    Amelia nodded. “Thank you, Jolin.”


    “I am willing to do anything for you, Mrs. Clinton.”


    Amelia chuckled lightly.


    Back at the apartment, Amelia went into the kitchen and started to prepare dinner.


    The family of three enjoyed dinner together as though Isabe didn''t show up that noon.


    Late that night, Jolin changed into a ck outfit and drove to the Walker residence.


    She parked the vehicle a kilometer away from the Walker residence in a forest. Then, she avoided the


    security guards and sneaked into the house.


    After finding Isabe''s room, she was about to climb through the window to get in when a pebble hit her


    ankle, causing her to wince in pain and nearly release her hands. Upon calming herself down, she


    turned over her shoulder, and when she saw the person standing below, she nched in shock and


    nearly fell to the ground.


    Taking a deep breath, she slid down the pipe and climbed down.


    “Boss, what are you doing here?” she greeted respectfully, standing in front of the figure.


    She thought no one knew about her visit to Isabe''s house and didn''t know that Oscar had followed


    her there. She didn''t even realize he was behind her.


    Despite not knowing why Oscar had shown up here, she knew she couldn''t interrogate Isabe today.


    Oscar''s hands were folded behind his back as he hid in the dark. In a low voice, he demanded, “Jolin,


    who allowed you toe to the Walker residence?”


    A chill went down Jolin''s spine as she hung her head low. “Boss, I was curious what the Walker


    residence looked like. That''s why I came here. I didn''t mean anything else.”


    Oscar ordered, “Go back now.”


    Jolin nodded and trailed behind Oscar obediently. They both avoided the infrared light that the Walker


    family had set up outside the house as part of their security system and left. Outside, Jolin gazed at


    Oscar''s back silently. She pondered briefly before asking, “Boss, shouldn''t you be sleeping with Mrs.


    Clinton at this hour?”


    Oscar shot her a pointed look. “Jolin, you have no right to interfere in my business.”


    Jolin couldn''t understand what Oscar was getting at. She couldn''t help but feel indignant on Amelia''s


    behalf. Mrs. Clinton has sacrificed a lot for this family. She is pretty, sensible, and knows when to back


    off instead of stressing others. I thought they were the most loving couple in the world. They made me


    believe in true love. Can''t true lovest forever? Will it burst soon like a bubble?


    The more Jolin thought about it, the more indignant she got. She couldn''t help but demand, “Boss,


    have you fallen in love with Ms. Walker? She may have a better figure than Mrs. Clinton, but other than


    that, she is no match for Mrs. Clinton. How could you do this to your wife? You love her dearly, don''t


    you?”


    A sh of confusion appeared in Oscar''s eyes when he heard what Jolin had to say. He didn''t know


    why he hade after Jolin. After overhearing the conversation between Jolin and Amelia in the


    kitchen, he couldn''t stop himself froming after Jolin. Deep down, he didn''t want to see Isabe


    getting hurt. However, he wasn''t in love with Isabe. The woman he had always loved was Amelia.


    Yet, he couldn''t understand why he had followed Jolin to the Walker residence.


    A flurry of scenes from the past that shouldn''t have happened kept reying themselves in his mind


    today as though they were scenes from a movie. He wanted to take a better look at them, but they


    shed past too quickly.


    His head was aching, no thanks to the scenes, when suddenly a woman''s face appeared in his mind.


    He immediately recognized her as Isabe. However, he didn''t even know what happened to him.


    I am abnormal now. I think I need to see a doctor soon or risk getting schizophrenia.


    “Don''t tell Amelia about what happened today. I don''t want her to get things wrong,” Oscar said after


    tamping down the suspicions in his heart.


    Jolin hung her head low and said nothing.


    Oscar narrowed his eyes and gave her a warning look. “Jolin, don''t forget that I am your boss.”


    A chill ran down Jolin''s spine as she finally remembered her position.


    “Boss, I''m just worried that Mrs. Clinton will be upset to learn that you came to the Walker residence


    late at night. I don''t understand why you followed me here. You used to despise the Walkers. Why did


    you—”


    “Jolin, you''ve crossed the line. Go home.”


    Jolin swallowed her words and lowered her head. “Yes, Boss.”


    She returned to her car and drove back home, and so did Oscar. However, none of them knew that


    there was another car parked in the forest. Inside the car was Amelia, who was holding Tony in her


    arms, and Kurt.

    Kurt nced at a silent Amelia through the rearview mirror. In a low voice, he asked, “Amelia, are you


    all right?”


    Forcing a smile, Amelia responded, “Not that good. So this is how it feels to see one''s husband


    showing up at one''s love rival''s house. It really hurts.”


    Feeling bad for her, Kurt said, “Amelia, you can cry if you want to. You don''t have to pretend in front of


    me.”


    Amelia shook her head. “Why would I cry? This little matter won''t break me down. I managed to hang


    on despite losing my eyesight and getting a divorce from Oscar a few years ago. If Oscar did cheat on


    me and had an affair with Isabe, I''ll give them my blessing. I am lucky to get to reunite with him.


    There''s nothing toin about.”


    Kurt''s lips quirked up as he said, “Amelia, you''re still as different as ever. Everyone is worried about


    you, but you managed to convince yourself. I admire you. To be honest, I am not sure I can act like


    you.” He still couldn''t forget her and admired her for her frankness.


    Amelia chuckled. “Let''s go back.”


    Kurt bobbed his head and drove back home.


    Arriving at the neighborhood, he parked the car and asked, “Amelia, what is your n?”


    Amelia contemted briefly before revealing, “I''ll talk to Oscar directly. It''s not like me to keep things a


    secret. If he has fallen in love with someone else, I''ll give them my blessings. If it is the contrary, I''ll ask


    him why he paid her a visit tonight. If this is all Isabe''s doing, I won''t forgive her, ever.”


    “Amelia, should I—”


    Before Kurt could finish, Amelia shook her head. “No. Oscar has caught Jolin, so there''s no need for


    you to go to Isabe now. I''ll talk to Oscar first.”


    Kurt nodded in response.


    Amelia held Tony in her arms and got out of the car. Kurt followed behind her to see her upstairs.


    When Amelia turned the doorknob, the door creaked open. It wasn''t locked.


    She turned over her shoulder and said, “You can go now, Kurt.”


    Kurt shot her a worried look, but he nodded and turned to leave.


    Inside, Amelia switched on the light to see Oscar sitting on the couch. The man lifted his head to look


    at her. When their eyes met, Amelia suddenly rxed.


    “Oscar.” She went over to him with Tony in her arms.


    Oscar got to his feet and gave her a long look before he took Tony from her.


    Amelia lifted her head and asked calmly, “Oscar, aren''t you going to ask where I brought Tony?”
