Chapter 678

Chapter 678Amelia carried him up. “I'm fine.”
When Oscar returned at night, she told him what had happened in the afternoon. He thought for a while
and asked, “Do you want to go back?”
Amelia didn't hide what she thought. “Not really. I know he still hates me from the way he looks at me.
He's probably trying to acknowledge me as his daughter simply because of the Clintons. I was worried
he wanted to use you. Now that I think about it, maybe I was too rash when I acknowledged my
mother.”
Oscar pulled her into his embrace and gently patted her head. “You're wasting time on insignificant
problems, Amelia. I know you're worried, but if you want to do it, just do it. No need to be concerned
about me. The Hutton family is still a rich family in Saspiuburg. If I collaborate with him, I may get more
resources in Saspiuburg. In other words, I might end up using the Hutton family instead.”
Amelia smiled.
She knew he was just trying to comfort her because the Clintons definitely didn't need her to gain more
power.
Hugging his waist, she said, “I'm just worried that I'll bring you a lot of trouble, Oscar.”
“Silly girl.” Oscar kissed her forehead. “Go and take a shower. I'll tell you a story once I'm done.”
The edge of her lips curved upward. She was feeling much better. Once she was done, she lay in his embrace on the bed. It was then she received a call from Tiffany.
“Babe, I got good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?” Tiffany sounded obviously
excited through the phone.
Amelia was infected by her joy. She smiled and asked, “Bad news first.”
“The bad news is that I'm no longer a free woman because I'm getting married.”
Amelia chuckled. “What about the good news?”
“Good news is that I'm marrying someone! Finally, there's a stupid man out there who's willing to marry
me. The wedding is set to happen three months later. Don't forget to give me a huge monetary gift,
okay?”
“I won't.” Amelia was happy for her.
“I want you to be my bridesmaid when the time comes, Babe. Also, thanks for the gift. I'll take good
care of it. If I really do get pregnant, I'll stop working and rest for a year. I'm already over thirty years
old. It's time for me to think about children, and I've decided that no job is more important than having a
child.”
That made Amelia even happier. “I'm glad you came to that decision. But I don't think I can be your
bridesmaid because I'm married with a child already. It's bad luck for someone like me to be your
bridesmaid. I think you should find someone else. I'll just give you a big monetary gift when the time
comes.” “Aren't you going to watch me getting married, Babe?”
“Of course I will. But you really should find a bridesmaid who isn't married yet. I'll visit you tomorrow
and talk to you more about it.”
“Okay. See you tomorrow.”
Hanging up the phone, Amelia grinned widely. “Tiff and Derrick's wedding has been set. I guess they
finally won over Mrs. Hisson.”
“Are you happy now?”
Amelia nodded because she was really happy.
Her husband loved her, her son was obedient, her in-laws had chosen to forgive her, and her best
friend was getting married. It was one good news after the other. She felt as though all the misfortunes
she had suffered before were a lifetime ago.
With that good news in mind, she quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Amelia dressed plainly before heading out. To her surprise, she saw Sean waiting
downstairs.
“Hey, Amy. Can I call you that?” Sean stared at her warmly.
Amelia smiled sincerely. “Of course you can. You're my brother, after all.” Sean shrugged mischievously. “Do you have time, Amy? Walk with me. I have something I want to
discuss with you.”
Amelia said yes.
Both of them strolled out of the neighborhood, and she asked, “Do you want breakfast? How about I
chat with you while we eat?”
“It's fine. I've already eaten. The reason I'm here early, Amy, is because I'm wondering if you can
convince Mom to go home. I know she listens to you, so much so that Amelia's and my words can't get
through her. If she doesn't go back home this time, my dad's going to strip me of my right to inherit the
company and Amelia of her allowance. I want to do my best for the company, but he gets the final say
on company-related matters. If Mom doesn't come back, both of us will be left with nothing. He has a
woman outside the family. I'm not happy about it, but I got no other choice. Right now, I'm not powerful
enough to snatch the ownership of the company from his hand. So... can you help me convince Mom?”
Amelia glanced at him.
Sean smiled. “I know the Hutton family has let you down. But I don't think grudges should be passed
down from one generation to the next. Isn't that right?”
Amelia lowered her head and agreed, “I'll try, but I can't guarantee if she'll listen to me. After all, it's her
marriage. She decides what she wants to do. We can't restrict her freedom based on what we want,
either. If she isn't happy, I don't think we'll be happy.”
Sean nodded. “You're right. Just do your best, then.” “Okay.”
Sean pointed at a car not far from them. “My car's over there. Where do you want to go? I can drive
you there.”
Amelia didn't reject the offer.
Upon arriving at Tiffany's neighborhood, she opened the door and said, “Thanks for driving me here,
Sean. I'll do my best to advise Mom. After all, all of you are a family. I'm just someone who showed up
not too long ago. It's obvious who she has a closer connection with.”
Sean stretched his hand and grabbed her. When she turned back, he let go and smiled. “I've always
wanted an older sister, especially one who's as generous and thoughtful as you. Really. More
importantly, you look a lot like Mom, even more so than Amelia. Just looking at you reminds me of
Mom. I'll be counting on you in the future as your little brother.”
Amelia laughed out loud.
“I'll be leaving now. Talk to you later.” She got out of the car and left. Sean remained in the car as he
watched her leave. There was an inscrutable look in his eyes.
