Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 363
Chapter 363 Throwing A Tantrum
Amelia put on a stern look and tried her best to look at Tony. “Tony, if you keep talking nonsense, I’m
going to get angry.”
Hearing that, Tony pouted. “Daddies and mommies should stay together,” he whispered. “That’s how
it’s supposed to be. But you and daddy aren’t staying together, and you guys never even hold hands.
You’re not like the other couples.”
Amelia could feel a migraine working its way up her head. She had no idea how a two-year-old toddler
could possibly know anything about rtionships. He’s already great with numbers, and he can think
really fast. I should really get him tested and see if he’s a genius or something.
If anyone were to ask her how she felt about dealing with a two-year-old toddler, she would tell them
that being smart was fine for children, but not if they were too smart. It would make her life that much
more difficult.
Amelia waved at Tony, motioning him toe over to her. Once the boy did as he was told, she
hunkered down to look at him eye to eye.
“Anthony, I need to make something clear,” Amelia uttered, still as stern as ever. “Your godfather and I
are just friends. Good friends, yes, but that doesn’t mean we’re a couple. But he is one of the most
important people in my life, so stop trying to match us up. It’ll make things awkward for the both of us,
all right?”
Anthony might be smart, but he was still just a child. He was unable toprehend the machinations
of the adult world. The boy looked at his mother naively. “But the TV shows always say that only a
couple would live together. Since you and Daddy are living under the same roof, why doesn’t that make
you a couple?”
Hearing that, Amelia could feel her migraine worsen. God. All these TV shows and their stupid tropes. I
should really watch what they air from now on. Amelia gave it some thought before answering, “Tony,
I’m going to cut your TV time. Not everything they tell you in the shows is true.”
Anthony’s eyes were glinting brightly, but there was confusion and slight sadness within them. He
turned around to Kurt—who was silent—and asked, “Daddy, are you really not gonna marry Mommy?”
Kurt tensed up a little as he stole a nce at Amelia. Noticing the look of struggle on her face, he felt
sad about it. Even so, he replied, “I will marry your mother, Tony. That is a promise.”
Anthony’s eyes sparkled smugly. Since Amelia was looking elsewhere, he gave Kurt a thumbs
up. Good one, Daddy! Keep this up, and Mommy will be yours in no time.
Amelia noticed what Anthony was doing, and she had to admit that her boy had turned out to be quite
the mischievous character.
Tony leaned back against Amelia. “Daddy said he’s going to woo you, Mommy. You can’t say no, all
right? I like him, and I want us to be together. I don’t want any other guy to take you away. I just want
Daddy to be your husband.”
Even though Amelia looked annoyed, she could not tell the ugly truth right in front of Kurt. Thetter
had helped her a lot, so she could not just brush it off and say he was just a good friend. She had
epted all his help, but she could never take it for granted.
Now that Anthony was matching them up, Amelia realized she had just gotten herself into a sticky
situation.
She was upied by her own thoughts and didn’t eat much, much to Kurt’s worry. “Oh, you don’t like
these, Amelia? Why don’t I make you a te of pasta then?”
Shaking her head, Amelia responded, “It’s fine. I just don’t feel like eating, that’s all. You guys go
ahead.”
Anthony looked up and asked sweetly, “Did I make you angry, Mommy?”
“Not at all, sweetie.” Amelia smiled. “Dig in. I’ll stay here with you.”
Anthony nodded.
After lunch, Amelia got Anthony to go to bed. Then she asked Tiffany to take her out and ask Kurt to
have a seat. It was time to have their first honest talk.
“Don’t take what I said to heart, Kurt. You’ve helped a ton over this year and a half, and you’re like
family to me. But now that I’m blind, all I want to do is raise Tony up. I’m not interested in getting into
any rtionship at the moment. After all, I can’t even take care of myself, so it’s best I don’t drag
anyone down with me into this mess,” she said.
Gazing at her, Kurt replied, “I don’t care. Taking care of you is my job. As long as you’re willing to date
me, I’ll be your eyes and tell you about all the breathtaking scenery this country has to offer.”
Kurt was never great at flirting, but even a man like him could change when he was facing someone he
loved. In this case, it was Amelia.
Amelia started getting worried. “You don’t have to do this, Kurt. I’m not worth your time. I have
someone I love, so I can’t possibly ept someone else. You don’t have to waste your time on a blind
woman like me.”
“You’re a great woman. The most beautiful one I’ve ever seen,” Kurt uttered adamantly.
Amelia was starting to feel a bit frustrated by Kurt’s insistence. “Kurt, you know what I’m trying to say.”
“Yes, I do,” Kurt said with a nod. “But just because I know what you’re trying to say doesn’t mean I have
to do it. As long as you’re still not married, I still stand a chance. Tony was just saying my thoughts out
loud.”

At that, aplicated look shed across Amelia’s face. I can’t believe it. Kurt actually became smarter
after hanging out with Anthony. Sometimes I wonder who’s the bad influence here.
Kurt gave Tiffany a look that told her to make some space for them. Thetter was happy to match a
couple up, so she went off to keep an eye on Anthony.
A smile curled Kurt’s lips, and he strode up to Amelia. Then he held her shoulders and stated seriously,
“Amelia, I don’t need you to forget about the boss, nor would I even try to be a part of your life. All
I want is for you to stop rejecting me and give me a chance. Let me prove that I can take care of you.”
Amelia knew Kurt would not change his mind no matter what she had to say, so she decided not to
waste her time. Pushing his hand away gently, she announced, “I’m tired, Kurt. I need to get some
sleep.”
Hearing that, Kurt was crestfallen, but he cheered himself up a momentter. “I’ll take you in.”
The woman didn’t refuse his help. After sending Amelia to her room, Kurt walked out.
Inside the room, Tiffany was patting Anthony, but her eyes were trained on his mother. “You’re done
talking?”
Amelia was sitting on the edge of the bed. After due consideration, she finally came to a decision.
“Tiffany, we should move somewhere else. I don’t want to give Tony any false hope.”
Upon hearing that, Tiffany sat up straighter and stared at Amelia. “Babe, are you nning on
abandoning Kurt?”
Amelia said nothing, but her silence was an answer in and of itself as well.
Tiffany sneered. “I never expect you to be such an ingrate, Babe. Kurt has helped you out when you
needed it the most, but now that you’ve finally settled down, you decide to kick him out of your life?
How could you even do that to him?”
Amelia stared at the ground, looking sad. “Tiff, you know why I’m doing this. I don’t want to keep owing
him any more favors.”
“You’re still single and unwed, and so is he. You don’t have to feel awkward about him trying to court
you. Don’t tell me you’re still waiting for Oscar toe looking for you? Wake up and smell the coffee,
will you? If he really cares about you, he would have been searching high and low a long time ago, but
we heard nothing from him.”
Amelia’s face fell. Clenching her fists, she loosened them up right after. Then, she took a deep breath
to hold her anger down, but the veins on her neck were starting to pop.
“I’m tired, Tiff. I need to get some sleep. We’ll talk about this after we calm down a little.” With that,
Ameliay down on the bed and pulled her nket up, then she pretended to sleep.
Amelia’s childish tantrum annoyed Tiffany, but she could onlyugh about it. I am calm. You’re the one
who’s getting worked up.
“Fine. If you’re sleeping, then I’m sleeping too.” Tiffany decided to throw a tantrum as well. Two can
y the game. With that, she went to Anthony’s room, but since they were both angry, it was
impossible for them to get a wink of sleep that night.
