Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 603
Chapter 603 Troubling Disposition
Amelia and Benjamin came to a cafe near the hospital and ordered two cups of coffee. When their
beverages were served, Amelia asked for some sugar.
“Ma’am, here are some sugar as requested.”
“Thank you.”
She scooped a small teaspoon of sugar and added it to her cup. While stirring, she asked, “Mr. Hutton,
I wonder about your purpose for traveling such a long way by air to see me. May I know what you
would like to discuss with me?”
He scrutinized her and admittedly thought that she looked almost identical to his wife. In fact, they
would pass as a pair of twins. Unfortunately, he loathed seeing that face. It kept bugging him as though
some unforgettable humiliation would soon be brought to light.
“You look a lot like my wife,” he stated.
“It’s an unexpected honor to be Mrs. Hutton’s look-alike,” Amelia paused her action for a split second
and responded magnanimously.
“Ms. Winters, I flew all the way here from Saspiuburg, so I ain’t going to beat around the bush. I believe
you have probably discovered the fact that you’re my daughter. To tell you the truth, I have only a son
and a daughter. I don’t intend to add any new family member,” Benjamin cut to the chase.
A gracious smile remained stered on Amelia’s face, and there was no trace of sorrow or anger on
her expression. She looked like she was listening attentively to an elderly telling her a story.
“I admire your honesty, Mr. Hutton. Yet, I don’t appreciate your hostility toward me.” She added, “As
what you’ve seen, I’m doing very well even without your support or the backing of the Winters family. I
have a husband and a son who love me very much. So, I’m not bothered about reuniting with a blood
kin. Instead of viewing you and Mrs. Hutton as my long-lost parents, you lot are more like strangers to
me. We don’t share a bond. Hence, I’m not keen on iming my birth parents. Mr. Hutton, please rest
assured that my identity as Mrs. Clinton doesn’t stir up a need in me to covet the little wealth that the
Huttons possess.”
Pursing his lips, Benjamin gazed at her intently.
He had rehearsed this meet-up for at least a million times on his way here, but he did not expect her to
reject him without an ounce of respect or tact.
“I’m delighted to hear this from you, Ms. Winters. I do hope that you’d make your stance clear to my
wife and stay consistent in your decision. I don’t wish for you to give her any false hope. Yes, she
wants to reconcile with you very badly, but she already has two children. There’s really no need to gild
the lily. Thus, your cold and heartless rejection would be the best answer to her.”
At that, Amelia’s lips curled into a smile. A contemptuous look shed across her eyes.
“Mr. Hutton, I doubt you’ve ever really made an effort to pay the slightest attention to what your wife
really wants,” said Amelia.
Benjamin’s expression changed as he was taken aback by her frankness.
“If I were you, Mr. Hutton, I wouldn’t set this rtionship of ours in stone. After all, truth be told, I’m
indeed your daughter. Additionally, I’m married to the heir of the Clinton family, who is way richer than
the Huttons. As a businessman, aren’t you an expert in weighing the pros and cons? Don’t you want to
recognize me as your legal offspring? Conversely, you acted otherwise. I’m not sure if you’re ying
hard to get or am I really that unlovable?” As she stirred her cup of coffee, she got what she wanted toN?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
say off her chest in a mocking voice. Smiling, her words were nothing but the truth despite how harsh
they might have sounded to Benjamin.
Thetter was so enraged by herments that he smirked in response. His hawk-eye red at
Amelia, who in turn returned him with a casual gaze. She was not fearful of the way he judged her.
Suddenly, Benjamin apuded and burst outughing. “Ms. Winters, you’re much cleverer than I
thought. Yes, I’m a businessman who prioritizes profit. Given the chance, I’d choose to make a new
friend instead of an enemy. If it was someone else, I’d be dying to butter the person up. However, I
won’t act like that in front of you because I don’t like you. Or else, I wouldn’t have tried so hard to send
you away.”
Amelia’s smile grew even brighter than before.
“Great, this is perfect! You’re indeed a visionary with a wicked soul, Mr. Hutton. Even a vicious tiger
would not eat its cubs, but my own father would hurt his daughter at all costs,” she derided.
Benjamin took out a check and ced it in front of Amelia. “This is ten million. Being Oscar’s wife, I
know that you aren’t short of money. Anyhow, I hope topensate you for what you had to go
through all these years. It’s also a way for me to ovee my guilt. Take this, and we shall officially cut
off ties with each other.”
Amelia’s grin became more pronounced when she saw the multiple zeros written on the check.
She took it up and fidgeted with it. “How generous, Mr. Hutton! Ten million is an amount that a regr
family could only dream of. They might not even earn anything close to it even if they were to work for
three generations. I thank you for this, but I’m disgusted by it at the same time. Initially, I don’t n to
have any connections with the Huttons. You really shouldn’t have involved the Winters, and neither
should you humiliate me by shing your money. I’m a rebellious child, you know. The more someone
wants me to refrain from doing something, the more I want to go against his will. Who knows? I’ll get
close and intimate with Mrs. Hutton when I see her one day. No, there are no specific reasons for me to
do that, but I just want to annoy the h*ll out of you.”
Malice burned in Benjamin’s narrowed eyes.
Subsequently, Amelia tore the piece of check apart. She rose to her feet and grinned. “I have other
matters to attend to. Please excuse me, Mr. Hutton.” She turned around and left, but stopped in her
tracks and turned back after taking a few steps forward. “By the way, Mr. Hutton, I forgot to inform you
something. I’m not as close to the Winters family as you think. So, there’s no need for you to waste
your precious time on them. Judging from how cold I am toward my birth parents, one can only imagine
how I would treat my foster parents who aren’t my blood rtions.”
Benjamin’s gaze was fixated on her as she stormed off and disappeared from his sight after turning the
corner.
“Amelia, since you’re not heeding my advice, I shall not keep you alive. Your existence is my utmost
humiliation. You’ll never understand this dreadful sense of mortification,” Benjamin spat out those
words through his gritted teeth.
He then whipped out his phone and dialed a number.
“Caleb, keep an eye on Amelia. When the time is right, abduct her. I trust that you know what to do
thereafter.”
“No worries, Mr. Hutton. I know exactly what to do. One thing though, we noticed that there are several
bodyguards protecting her everywhere she goes. They don’t look too easy to handle. I’m afraid it’s
quite a challenge to kidnap her,” a hoarse voice uttered over the phone.
“That’s your problem. As an assassinator, I don’t think you need to take advice from me on how to kill a
person.” Having said that, Benjamin hung up.
Unbeknownst to Amelia, a murderous intent brewed within her father. As soon as she left the cafe, she
called Tiffany because she knew that Tiffany was ying at a nearby park with Tony.
She went over to meet them, only to see that Tony was happily leading a group of children in games.
“Tiff,” Amelia called out.
Tiffany turned and asked, “Finished chatting?”
Amelia nodded.
She strode across, smiling. Her eyes were focused on Tony, who was over the moon. “It seems that
Tony is getting on quite well with other children.”
“He’s very open-minded and cheerful. Coupled with his level of maturity, he fits the description of a
leader among other kids.” Tiffany had nothing but praises for the boy.
The twodies sat on the long bench. “How was the discussion with him?” Tiffany asked.
“How else could it be? He kept telling me not to drag Mrs. Hutton into this. Additionally, he also
revealed that the reason for sending me away back then was because he hated me to the core.
Seemingly, I’m not popr among the elders. My biological father doesn’t like me, and neither does my
foster parents. I wonder if I’m destined to be the unwanted child,” Amelia said casually while ying
with her hair.
“Are you sad?”
“In the past, I might be sad. But now, I can’t think of a reason to dwell in sorrows.”
“Good! That’s the Amelia that I know.”
Amelia shrugged her shoulders.
Right then, her phone rang. She took a peek at the screen and saw that the caller was Jolin.
She picked it up. “Hi, Jolin.”
“Mrs. Clinton, I have been informed by Charlie via a call that someone is tailing you. He and the others
are settling it at the moment. I’m going to you right now. Please bring Mr. Anthony somewhere
crowded. I’m worried that Charlie would be outnumbered by the people who are following you around,”
Jolin reported ordingly.
Instinctively, Amelia scanned her surrounding, but she did not see anyone suspicious. “I’ll wait for you
at the hospital.” It’s better to be safe than sorry.
“Sure, I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
Upon hanging up, Tiffany asked, “What’s going on? Did something happened?”
“Jolin imed that someone is following me, but the bodyguards are looking into this. She’s on her way
here, and she wants me to bring Tony to somewhere crowded. Let’s not wander around anymore.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Instantly, Tiffany leaped from the couch and took Tony away from his
ymates. “Come on, darling, we’ve got to go.”
The trio quickly shifted to a ce where there were more people. Tiffany even asked the security
guards at the hospital for support by iming that someone was stalking them. The bodyguards were
well aware of Amelia’s rtionship with the Director. Hence, in a split second, five to six security guards
showed up in their midst.
Amelia was dumbfounded. “Tiff, it’s not necessary to raise a ruckus. Those who don’t know might think
that something untoward has happened.”
Tiffany hugged Tony tighter and said, “I’m just being prepared. Don’t you know that you have a
troubling disposition? When you’re not getting hit by a car, you’re being stalked. You should have more
bodyguards protecting you at all times. I’m thinking five to six may not be enough.”
Amelia was rendered speechless. Then again, she did have a better sense of security to having an
increased number of bodyguards around her, especially when she was traveling with a child.
“Sit down, Amelia. Don’t overthink things. You have me to take care of both you and Tony.”
Amelia chuckled.
“Tiff, don’t be so anxious as if you have ants in your pants. See, you scared Tony.” Amelia stretched out
her arms and carried the little boy. “Tell me, Tony, how did you feel when you were ying with the
other children today? Happy?”
“I was happy! They’re quite obedient. I loved being their big brother, and I thoroughly enjoyed being a
leader!”
“Whoa, that’s my boy! I’m impressed at how you demonstrated your leadership skills at such a young
age. Come over here, and let me kiss you as a reward.”
Amelia gave him a peck on the cheek whereas Tony returned her with two sweet kisses.
The mother-and-son duo found much delight in fooling around with each other. The fear they had
earlier on gradually disappeared.
