Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 696

After getting the ingredients, Melanie personally cooked a wide spread of scrumptious dishes. Both Amelia and Oscar stayed for the meal, chatted with them for a while, and decided to take their leave.

Amelia had been away from home for too long. There was no longer a room she could call her own in the house.

When Melanie walked them out of the house, Amelia pulled out a card from her bag and handed it to the former, saying, “Mom, there isn't much in this, about tens of thousands, I think. Use it to get good food for Dad and Spencer. Spencer's health isn't as great after the surgery. Everything he food costs a lot of money.”

After hesitating for a moment, Melanie finally accepted the card.

Amelia gave her a hug and said softly, “Mom, no matter what happened in the past, you're still my mom. This is something that will never change. So, please don't reject my kind intentions as a daughter.”

Melanie's eyes had turned slightly red.

She then watched Amelia and Oscar leave before letting out a faint sigh. There was a heavy feeling in her heart, and Amelia's words still rang in her ears.

“Come on. Let's go home,” Dominic prompted.

Melanie nodded. However, she still constantly turned around to see if Amelia would still appear, only to be disappointed by it. Amelia never turned back.

“It looks like we've wronged Amelia. This child is kinder than we think. I can't believe she repaid our ill- treatment with kindness. I really don't have the guts to face her anymore,” Melanie said.

Dominic's expression was grim, but he kept silent.

Hand in hand, the couple entered the apartment. As they waited for the elevator door to open, Dominic suddenly uttered, “We've still got pickled fish at home. Amelia loved eating it when she was younger. We should've given her some before she left.”

Melanie lifted her head and glanced at him while suggesting, “Why don't I give her a call to ask where is she living now? Then, we can send it over to her.”

Dominic nodded.

Their eyes met, and they understood what was on each other's minds.

After arriving home, Melanie gave Amelia a call to ask for the latter's whereabouts.

At first, Amelia was shocked to hear that question. Nonetheless, she still told Melanie the name of the hotel she was temporarily staying in.

“Okay. Your dad and I will send you some food in the afternoon. We made it by ourselves. I'm sure you'll like it.”

“Okay.”

When the call ended, Oscar asked, “What is it?”

“Mom says she and dad want to send us some food, and she told us to wait for them in the hotel.”

Oscar stroked her hair and smiled. “I think your mom wants to mend things between you and the family. You've always been upset with the Winters family's cold treatment on you. Now that she wants to mend things, you must be feeling happy, right?”

There was an indescribable feeling in Amelia's heart, and she did not know how to explain it.

During the afternoon, Melanie and Dominic went over to the hotel, bringing many things along with them. Dominic even had a sack with him.

Amelia's lips twitched, asking, “Dad, what's this?”

“These are the honeydew your dad and I picked. We planted them, so there's no pesticide used. They are super sweet. Though you two are rich, the melons you eat have tons of chemicals in them. Therefore, your dad and I have decided to bring you two some fresh fruits,” Melanie said non-stop.

A warm feeling filled Amelia's heart. It was her first time witnessing Melanie showing her care.

It was a strange feeling; yet, one she had been longing for.

One by one, Melanie took out all the things she brought, which were all edibles, such as watermelon, honeydew, pickled fish, jerky, and all kinds of local delicacies.

“Amelia, I know you and Oscar are used to eating good food. These fruits we brought might not suit your tastes, but it's just a kind gesture from us. Please don't refuse them,” Melanie said shyly, looking at the things she brought.

Amelia smiled. “Why would I? They're amazing! I was just talking to Oscar two days ago about where to find fruits that have no pesticides. Who would've known that you'd bring some over? It's as if our thoughts are linked.”

Melanie blushed.

“Oh, what do you mean by our thoughts are linked? Is that how you use such romantic words? You silly girl. Anyway, I'm glad you like it. Well, we'll get going now. When are you two returning to Tayhaven? We'll come and send you off.” After beating around the bush for a while, she finally revealed her intentions of coming.

“Our flight is at eleven o'clock in the morning. We've got some work to do, and I can't leave Tony alone for too long.”

Melanie nodded and pursed her lips, looking rather awkward as she said, “I have to admit that I treated Tony harshly when Spencer was admitted to the hospital. That boy must be disappointed with me. Could you please apologize on my behalf? I was just too anxious about Spencer's condition. I didn't mean to treat Tony like that.”

“It's fine, Mom. Tony is a happy kid. He won't blame you for doing that,” Amelia assured.

“That's great then.”

Amelia hesitated for a moment, but she still said, “Mom, I've reunited with my biological mother. So, you don't have to worry about Mr. Hutton harming you.”

Melanie's fingers tensed, and she forced a smile. “That's good. Back then, Dominic and I did not want you to meet your biological parents because of Spencer. Then again, it's not something that can be avoided when you're related by blood. It's great that you've reunited with them. At least I won't feel guilty about your mother.”

Amelia said, “Mom, I've never blamed you and Dad for that.”

Melanie looked at her deeply.

After chatting with the elderly couple, Amelia sent them off.

The next day, all four of them went to the airport. Even Crosby and his wife were there. At the same time, Crosby was holding a little girl's hand, who looked as delicate as a barbie doll.

Amelia fell in love with her at first glance.

Squatting down to stare at the little girl, Amelia greeted, “Hello, little princess. I'm Amelia. You're as pretty as a barbie doll, and you look just like your mommy.”

The little girl was not timid. She gazed at Amelia with her shiny eyes, responding, “I know you. Mommy told me before that you're the second prettiest woman next to her gorgeous looks. But I have a secret to tell you. I think you're prettier than Mommy.”

Though she said it was a secret, her sweet voice was so clear that everyone at the scene heard her.

Soleil tapped the back of the girl's head, saying, “What did you just say? How dare you call me ugly? Looks like you need some beating.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

The girl scratched her cheek and challenged Soleil's words mischievously. “Mommy, Ms. Amelia is really prettier than you. Though you're the prettiest to Daddy, I still think Ms. Amelia looks the prettiest.”

“You rascal.” Soleil raised her arm as if she was going to hit the girl, but the latter hurriedly hid behind Amelia.

Amelia could not help but smile when she saw the interaction between the two of them. It made her think of Tony, who was as smart as the little girl.

Amelia said, “If it's possible, you can come over to Tayhaven with your parents. I have a son too, and he's good-looking, just like you. I think you two will become good friends.”

The little girl's eyes twinkled. “Really?”

Amelia nodded, saying, “He's younger than you, but he's really smart. I think you two will get along really well.”

“Okay. I'll definitely get Mommy and Daddy to bring me over. I want to see him. Ms. Amelia, let's make a pinky promise. If you lie to me, then you're an ugly doggy.”

Hence, both of them made a pinky promise.

After making her promise to the little girl, Amelia bid her farewells to every member of the Winters

family who came to send her off. She then told Spencer to take good care of Melanie and Dominic and to call her if there was anything he needed. After all, they were a family.

With that, Amelia and Oscar passed through the security check and boarded the plane. The Winters family watched the plane fly off before going home in their car.
