Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 435 A Rather Unique Look

Soon, Saturday arrived, Amelia was woken up by her ringtone at six in the morning. She had initially wanted to answer the call, but Oscar beat her to it.

"Hello?" he asked, patting Amelia's back to put her back to sleep.

"Is this Amelia's number?" A female voice that sounded unsure came through the speakers. She then muttered to herself, "Didn't Uncle Dominic say this is Amelia's number? Why is there a guy's voice? Could he be her husband?"

Oscar was finally more alert, and he answered, "Yes, I'm her husband."

Suddenly, a madwoman's voice could be heard. "Ah! Oscar! Are you really Oscar? Oh my goodness. Your voice sounds so masculine. You must be quite handsome, right? Amelia is so lucky. My uncle says Amelia is married to a man from a rich family in this city. So you must be a tycoon, right? Oh, let me introduce myself. I'm Eva. By the way, where's Amelia?"

Oscar had almost turned deaf from her ear-piercing shrieks.

He knitted his brows and said with a deep voice, "Be quiet!"

Eva went silent. She then asked hesitantly, "Do you not like me?"

"It's not that. Amelia is still sleeping. I just wanted you to keep it down and not wake her up."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I guess it's still quite early. I forgot Amelia is not like me a night owl. Okay then. I'll let you two continue sleeping. My flight is at eight o'clock. Could you tell her to come to get me at ten o'clock?' Eva lowered her voice in a funny way.

Oscar's frown lifted slightly, and he replied, "We already know about your flight details. Don't worry. Someone will be there to get you once you've arrived."

"Thank you, Oscar! Love you!" With that, the call ended.

Oscar was rendered speechless.

As expected of a millennial. Her way of thinking was at a different level from his, who was born in the eighties.

Amelia turned around and hugged Oscar's waist. "Who was that?"

"Your cousin."

"Is she here already?"

"No. She said her flight is at eight o'clock."

'What's the time now?"

"It's only six in the morning."

Amelia too was speechless. She asked, "Why would she give a call so early in the morning?"

She could've given me a call a few days ago. But, no. She just has to choose to call so early in the morning. How rude...

Oscar stroked her back and said soothingly, "Go to sleep. It's still early."

Very soon, she fell asleep once more.

Finally, she woke up at eight-thirty in the morning. Seeing how late it was, she leaped off the bed and darted to the bathroom to wash up briefly. By the time she came out, she was already dressed in a professional white suit that gave off an impression of a competent office lady.

As she got down the stairs, Oscar was coincidentally serving breakfast from the kitchen while Tony sat at the dining table, watching everything silently.

"Mommy," he greeted sweetly.

Amelia walked over and gave Tony a kiss on the forehead. She turned to Oscar and said, "Why didn't you wake me up? It's already so late. I won't be able to make it to the airport later."

"I've sent Hugo to the airport. If we don't make it in time, he'll bring her home," Oscar answered nonchalantly.

Hearing that, Amelia could only sit down to have her breakfast.

She fed Tony his food before quickly downing hers.

"Tony, we're going to pick up your aunt in a while. Please behave, okay?" she said while squatting down.

Tony gave a firm nod. "I'll be polite to her."

Amelia was pleased with his response.

The trio took the elevator and headed downstairs. Oscar got into the driver's seat while both Amelia and Tony sat in the backseat.

Along the way, Tony asked, "Mommy, is she your sister?"

"She's not. It's your granduncle's daughter. She's my cousin," Amelia explained.

"Why haven't I met her in the past? So many strangers have appeared ever since you brought me back here," Tony said in his cute voice.

"They're all my friends and family. They'll love you just like me. Aren't you glad there'll be one more person to spoil you?"

"Of course. But I'll be happier if Daddy is here."

Amelia was baffled by his reaction. She then glanced at Oscar, who was driving in front.

"Tony, I've been doing my best to spend time with you. I've even brought you to the amusement park. I'm not too bad compared to your Godpa, right? Don't you think I'm better than him?" Oscar asked, turning the steering wheel.

Tony crawled out of Amelia's embrace and yelled, "No way! Daddy is much better than a big meanie like you!"

Oscar was not bothered by it.

Tony put his arms around Amelia's neck and asked, "Mommy, Daddy is better than Big Meanie, right?"

Amelia did not want to take part in the father-and-son "battle." Hence, she remained silent for the rest of the journey.

As soon as Amelia and the others alighted the car, Hugo marched forward and greeted, "Boss."

"Have you picked her up?"

"The flight was delayed. There was an announcement made about ten seconds before you arrived. It said that the flight would only arrive at ten-thirty in the morning," Hugo replied. Oscar waved his hand and said, "You can go ahead and do the tasks I assigned to you."

"Okay, Boss." Hugo left as soon as he came, giving off a mysterious feeling.

With Tony in her arms, Amelia and Oscar looked for a cafe near the airport to wait. Then, Amelia ordered an ice cream and a tiny piece of cake for Tony.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Amelia's phone rang. "Hello?" she answered.

"Is this Amelia? I've arrived. Where are you?" An urgent voice came from the phone.

"I'm at a cafe near the airport. Just wait for me at the entrance. We'll be right over."

"Okay. Please be quick. Love you."

Amelia ended the call after hearing the tone.

She was taken aback. She's truly a millennial. Her way of expressing her enthusiasm is really different. It's really... overwhelming.

"Oscar, she's here. Let's head over," Amelia said, putting her phone into her bag.

The Winters family had sent her a photo of Eva beforehand. The girl in the picture looked quite pretty and she seemed a little young-like the little girl next door.

When Amelia saw a young woman with golden hair with two or more piercings on each ear, dressed in a metallic-colored tight outfit, and had crazy makeup; she was shocked.

She could not imagine the woman before her was the same girl from the photo.

"Hey, Amelia. It's been almost ten years since we met, and you look just as pretty." Not noticing the shock on Amelia's face, Eva gave the former a warm hug, making the latter feel awkward with her easy-going behavior.

Amelia was so shocked that she did not know where to place her hands. The over-enthusiastic girl was a little too friendly for her.

"Uhm. Could you please let me go first?" Amelia asked, embarrassed.

Eva immediately released her cousin and extended her hand. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Eva, like Eve, but it ends with an A. I've found a job here, so I'll be in your care in the future.” Amelia recollected herself and smiled. "I've already prepared a place for you to stay. It's right below my apartment. It'll be easier for me to take care of you by having you near my house."

Eva made a thumbs up and praised, "Amelia, you're so reliable!"

Tony tugged at Eva's super cool pants to make himself noticed. "Are you my aunt?"

Eva lowered her gaze to see Tony, who was about the height of her knees, filling her eyes with surprise. She lifted the latter up and made a shrill voice that echoed throughout the entire airport. "Ah! You must be Amelia's son! I'm your aunt. You can call me Aunt Eva."

Once again, Amelia was at a loss for words. She was amazed at how outgoing her cousin was. It was as if she did not care about what others thought of her.

Outgoing was the only word that described her.

Tony watched a noisy Eva with curiosity. There was absolutely no fear in his eyes.

"Aunt Eva, you're too noisy. Mommy says girls have to be more lady-like," Tony said, gazing at Eva.

Upon hearing his words, Eva's ear-piercing shrieks finally came to an end.

At the same time, Amelia tried to smother her laughter. My son is not bad, after all.
