Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 710

She felt that the Huttons were quite strange. Although they look peaceful on the surface, everyone seems to be intentionally or unintentionally putting up their guard against me.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her phone ringing. She took it out and noticed that the caller was Tiffany. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She answered the call. “Tiff.”

“Derrick and I are currently in Saspiuburg, Babe. Which hospital are you at?” Tiffany asked straightforwardly.

Amelia figured that her best friend had probably learned about Eleanor's illness from someone, so she had purposely come over with Derrick to visit her.

“I'm on the eighth floor of Saspiuburg's Principal General Hospital. Come over now,” Amelia replied. She did not bother to ask Tiffany why she had not called her in advance.

“All right.”

After hanging up the phone, Amelia picked up the kettle and returned to the ward. Eleanor had fallen asleep again, and aside from Sean, there was no one else in the room.

“Where is everyone else, Sean?”

“Amelia left after taking a call. She probably went to chat with her friend. As for Dad, he had to go back to the company to work, so I'm the only one left.”

Hearing that, Amelia Winters chuckled.

“Sean, I think you are also pretty funny, and your temperament is quite different from Amelia's.”

“Only you think that I'm humorous, Amy. The company employees all say that I constantly keep a poker face that is even scarier than my dad's,” Sean deliberately replied with an exaggerated expression.

Amelia could not help but giggle at that.

“It's not a bad thing to appear stern during working hours. Wearing a playful smile when you work will make it harder for you to control your employees, and they may also question your abilities.” She smiled before adding, “You never mix up your working and private lives, and that's good. I think Mr. Hutton will soon leave the company in your care. After all, you're a very capable person.”

“This is your first time complimenting me. Previously, I thought about getting close to you to use the Clinton family that was backing you to deal with Dad so that I could seize the company's management rights from him. I was afraid that he would foolishly hand over the company to a woman who wasn't part of our family someday. However, it turns out that I was being a little childish. Dad loves Mom so much. How could he ever do that?” Sean said with a laugh.

Amelia nodded in agreement.

She could not deny that Benjamin genuinely loved Eleanor. Although he was a man of few words and occasionally put on a cold expression, he took care of Eleanor almost every night. As long as it was something he could do by himself, he would not leave it to others. He had also handed over most of the company affairs to Sean.

“There's no bad blood between father and son. There is no way he would hand over the company to an outsider instead of you. Your father loves Mom so much. How would he allow her son to get the shorter end of the stick?” Amelia remarked.

“You've said that Dad loves Mom, so when will you be willing to call him 'Dad'?”

Amelia fell silent.

Sean did not press on but thoughtfully changed the subject, picking some light-hearted jokes to tease her until she kept bursting into laughter.
