Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 210 Welcome Baby Party 1

When Carter fell asleep in his bed, Jennifer asked someone to find out about Amelia’s latest situation.

Half an hour later, she received a text.

Tapping into it, she realized it was Amelia’s ward information.

At once, she told her assistant to get some flowers and fruits to visit Amelia.

When her assistant arrived with the gifts, she asked, “Jen, is your friend sick?”

“Yeah. I’ll pay you for the gifts later.”

“Jen, they don’t cost a bomb. You don’t have to pay me back,” her assistant replied, grinning.

“All right. You may leave now.”

Her assistant nodded and bade goodbye to her.

Soon, Jennifer arrived at Amelia’s ward with her gifts. She hesitated outside for a while before knocking

on the door.

The door opened to reveal Tiffany, who parted her lips in surprise upon seeing Jennifer.

“Ms. Larson, what brings you here?” Tiffany asked with a half-hearted smile.

Jennifer returned, “I heard Amelia was in an accident, so I’m here to visit her. What’s wrong? Don’t you

welcome me?”

“Truthfully, I don’t. Still, you’re a guest. I can’t kick you out, can I?” Tiffany opened the door and gestured.

“Come on in. I don’t want others to think I’m bullying you.”

Jennifer walked past Tiffany into the ward.

Amelia was taken aback to see Jennifer. Still, she struggled to sit up slowly. Her action gave Tiffany a

shock.

“Babe, what are you doing? You haven’t recovered yet, so please don’t simply move around,” Tiffany

rushed over to reprimand her while helping her to sit up.

Amelia replied, “I’m feeling better now. Stop fussing over me.”

“Nonsense. Dr. Kane told us yesterday that you’re recovering swiftly, save for your ribcage. What if you

jostle your wound and suffer? Lie down and stop worrying me!”

Amelia was rendered speechless at Tiffany’s reaction.

After seeing the exchange, Jennifer commented, “They take great care of you.”

Pointing at the sofa nearby, Amelia beckoned. “Have a seat, Ms. Larson.”

Jennifer placed the gifts aside and said, “Carter told me you were in an accident. I thought you’d be at

the brink of death, but look how lively you are now.”

Is she trying to get beaten up?

Tiffany gritted her teeth in fury. “Ms. Larson, keep those harsh words to yourself.”

Ignoring Tiffany’s retort, Jennifer stuck her chin up arrogantly.

“Amelia, I heard you gave birth to a son. You have a happy family now. Why did you seduce Carter when

he has decided to forget about you?” she demanded with her arms folded.

Amelia stared at her silently.

Meanwhile, Tiffany retorted, “Ms. Larson, who Mr. Scott wants to date is none of your business. Amelia

got involved in an accident, so it’s perfectly normal for him to come and visit her. You’re not even his

girlfriend. Why are you acting as though you’re his wife?”

Jennifer gave her a condescending look. “So? Carter is mine. Our families have agreed to our

relationship, so we shall marry sooner or later. I’m just exercising my right earlier.”

Rolling her eyes, Tiffany gave up.

Even Amelia found that amusing. She’s assertive. Isn’t that a form of inferiority?

A confident woman would never revolve around one man. If she’s smart, she’ll play hard to get so the

man would never forget about her.

Rising to her feet, Jennifer towered above Amelia and stated, “Since you didn’t die in that accident,

there’s nothing to see here. I’ll take my leave then.”

With that, she left without waiting for Amelia or Tiffany’s reply.

Tiffany stared at her retreating figure in exasperation.

Laughing in disbelief, she asked, “Is this woman crazy?”

Amelia replied, “It’s nothing serious. Don’t take her words to heart.”

Tiffany placed her hands on her hips indignantly. “She was too harsh! No wonder that jinx doesn’t like

her. If I were a man, I wouldn’t choose someone like her. Look at how rude she was.”

“She’s hurting, too. Her love for Carter isn’t being reciprocated. So, she vents her frustrations on me.”

“What? Even if she loves him, he isn’t required to love her. If it is that easy to fall in love, people won’t

take their lives for love.”

Amelia shook her head. She didn’t want to dwell on the matter, as Jennifer was not important in her life.

There was no need to waste time on her.

In a blink of an eye, one month passed. It was time for Tony’s welcome baby party. As Tony was the

Clintons’ eldest grandson, they held a grand party to introduce him to everyone else. Olivia had been

busy with the decoration, invitation cards, and other stuff since Tony was brought back home. Oscar had

to take care of Amelia and go to work, so he contributed little to the party. The welcome baby party was

important to Amelia, but she hadn’t recovered completely after spending one month in the hospital. She

could only walk a short distance before her body started aching. There was no way she could help.

On the day of Tony’s welcome baby party, two doctors and two nurses helped Amelia with the discharge

procedures before Oscar brought her back home.

Back at the Clinton residence, the decorated space made her feel like it was a dream. She had only

spent one month in the hospital, but it felt like she had been absent for ages. Perhaps after the near-

death experience, I stopped being stubborn and torturing myself.

Olivia came over to give her a warm hug. “Amelia, welcome home.”

Touched, Amelia returned her hug with a grin. “Mom, thank you.”

Olivia released her and said, “I’ll bring you to Tony. You didn’t get to see him for the past few weeks. He

must miss you a lot.”

Amelia missed her son a lot. After all, she only got to see him less than five times after he was born.

“All right.”

Without warning, Oscar picked her up. She let out a tiny shriek and flung her arms around his neck

instinctively.

Shyly, she urged, “Oscar, Mom’s here. Put me down, hurry!”

Oscar was unfazed. “You haven’t fully recovered yet. I don’t want you to walk too much. You’re in a hurry

to see our son, right? You’ll get there faster if I bring you there.”

Amelia caved in as he was right.

She remained in his arms as Olivia led them upstairs to the nursery, which Olivia had prepared for Tony.

Upon seeing Tony in his crib, Amelia felt her heart softening.

A baby’s features would change almost every day. After half a month, she nearly couldn’t recognize

Tony.

At one month old, Tony’s skin was fair and rosy. He was slightly plump and adorable, looking like a

delicate doll.

Amelia gestured for Oscar to put her down.

The minute she regained freedom, she knelt down beside the crib to caress Tony’s cheek. Perhaps the

little boy sensed her arrival, for he woke up and stared at her unblinkingly. Stretching his tiny hands out,

he started babbling nonsense.

Olivia chuckled. “Looks like Tony knows his Mommy is here. He was sleeping soundly but woke up when

you came in.”

Amelia’s lips curved into a smile as she whispered, “Tony, Mommy’s here. Say, Mommy!”

In response, Tony babbled excitedly.

Olivia’s chuckle grew louder. “Tony’s a clever boy, huh? He can understand you now.”

Amelia was in high spirits.

After chatting with Tony for a while, they left him with the nanny and went out.

“Amelia, your dad and Oscar’s friends from the corporate world will be here later. You’re still weak, so

you don’t have to join us to socialize with them,” Olivia told her.

Amelia nodded obligingly. “Mom, thank you.”

“No need for pleasantries. Tony’s my grandson, so I’ll provide the best for him. You only have to focus on

taking care of yourself.”

Amelia listened to her obediently.

After Olivia gave her a quick update, she cut in, “Mom, where is Stephanie?”

At once, Olivia froze. “Oh, you know how she hates formal occasions like this. It’s a good thing she’s not

here. Otherwise, she might talk nonsense. As you’re still weak, I don’t want her angering you,” she

explained.

Amelia’s heart warmed at her words. Olivia adored her, so she didn’t want Olivia to grow apart from

Stephanie because of her. One would need to give in and forgive when needed.

As Olivia had never mistreated her, she was willing to ignore Stephanie’s insults. The latter’s words were

rather hurtful, but Amelia could still handle it.

“Mom, what are you talking about? Stephanie is my sister-in-law. She might be harsh, but I won’t take

her comments to heart. After all, she didn’t harm me physically, did she? If she’s missing at Tony’s

welcome baby party, the guests might find her rude,” Amelia said truthfully.

Olivia patted her hand to comfort her. “Just ignore her. She’s an adult now. She needs to be punished for

her mistake. The Clinton family won’t always help to clean up the mess she created.”

Amelia cast a strange look at Olivia. She seems to be insinuating something.

The corner of Olivia’s mouth quirked up as she changed the topic deftly. “Don’t think too much about it.

Tony’s the star of the party, so no one will notice her absence.”

Amelia did not insist further since Olivia had put it that way.
