Chapter 858

Chapter 858Amelia stroked his head and comforted him, “Don't worry, Tony. Everything is fine. No matter what
happens between me and Daddy, his love for you is permanent. You cannot misbehave in front of him,
do you hear me?”
Tony didn't fully comprehend the meaning of her words, but he nodded obediently.
When Amelia saw how much her son resembled Oscar, a glint of sorrow flashed across her eyes.
After all they had been through, they might end up back at square one—when they divorced a few
years ago.
Just when she thought bliss was all that awaited her, her marriage was thrown a curveball with the
abrupt change in Oscar's character.
The realization elicited a wry smile from her face.
With his hand stroking her cheek, Tony remarked in his childish voice, “Mommy, you look unhappy.”
Cupping his hand with her own, Amelia consoled him, “I'm not. Come, let me sleep with you.”
She lay down by his side and held Tony in her arms.
The latter, who was all curled up, murmured, “Mommy, I'll protect you.”
“Thank you, Tony. I look forward to that.” Before she knew it, Tony was already asleep, but she remained restless in bed.
It wasn't until Oscar entered the living room holding Isabella's hand that chaos descended upon the
space.
Olivia stared at their intertwined hands and questioned, “Oscar, what are you doing?”
After throwing Olivia a glance, Oscar replied matter-of-factly, “Mom, she's my lover. Have you
forgotten? Why does everyone like to crack jokes with me today?”
Her mouth agape, Olivia wondered if she was hallucinating.
“Oscar, even you have learned how to pull my legs.” Recovering from her shock, Olivia put on a
magnanimous front. “Enough of this. I know that Amelia and you are arguing, but you still can't spite
her like this. Where are you going to find a wife who's as good as her if she leaves you in anger?”
The mention of Amelia's name jolted Oscar as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Sensing his distraction, Isabella swiftly tugged at his hand and flashed a sweet smile when he turned
around to face her.
Oscar reciprocated with a grin of his own.
Amelia was greeted by the sight of them locking gazes when she came downstairs. It was so jarring
that she felt as if her heart had been pierced by countless arrows. It hurt so much that she was
ultimately numbed by the pain. Thereafter, an icy sensation took over her feet, and she could no longer hear Jolin's voice over the
phone she was holding in her hand.
All she felt was her world collapsing now that her worst fears had come true.
As she stood transfixed by the sight of Oscar, the latter, noticing her presence, looked up in her
direction. The moment their eyes met, he felt in his gut that she was the one for him.
