Chapter 463 The Worry Of Kurt
After eating the pasta, Amelia told Kurt to go to bed with Anthony while she cleaned up the dining table.
After that, Amelia turned to the grim-faced Oscar and smiled. She even pinched his cheek. “Give me a smile.”
Oscar pinned Amelia against the wall, and she could feel his warm breath on her face. Amelia scrunched up her nose as she felt an itch.
Oscar gave her a kiss on the lips and said in a deep voice, “The way you treat Kurt makes me jealous. How are you going to make it up to me?”
Amelia looked at him with her sparkly eyes. She started drawing circles on his chest with her finger as if she was seducing him. “Are you really jealous?”
Oscar’s eyes darkened. Amelia’s eyes were so seductive that he could not resist her temptation. He realized that was what love was about.
Amelia cupped his face with her hands and smirked. “What are you thinking? How dare you focus on something else when I’m standing in front of you? I want to punish you.”
Amelia tiptoed and bit his lower lip.
She then gazed into Oscar’s eyes and asked, “Are you satisfied with the punishment?”
Oscar replied, “Yes.” He then pinned her against the wall.
“You’re playing with fire, woman.” Oscar’s voice became more coarse.
Amelia knew that. After losing and regaining her vision, as well as reuniting with Oscar, she had become more courageous to do things she had never done before.
She wrapped her arms around Oscar’s neck and whispered, “Let’s go upstairs. You can do anything to me tonight.”
Oscar immediately carried her in his arms and walked upstairs.
It was going to be a sleepless night.
Meanwhile, Kurt stood by the window in the middle of the night and quietly observed the noises coming from the next room. He was only able to relax his stiffened face when the noises stopped.
He was about to light a cigarette, but the moment he saw the child sleeping peacefully in bed, he put away his lighter.
Kurt stood by the bed, feeling utterly frustrated. He was still obsessed with Amelia, but there was nothing he could do. To make things worse, he even had to witness how happy the family of three was. On the one hand, Kurt was glad that he could still take care of Amelia and Anthony, but on the other hand, he also felt hurt when the love of his life was all smiles when she was with another man. It was torture for him, yet he still wanted to stay by her side to protect her. He only did it because he wanted to see her smile, even though he knew the smile was not for him.
Kurt, who used to be a man with a big ego, seemed to have transformed into a humble person. That was the power of love.
He could not help but sigh upon hearing how the woman he loved moaned in the embrace of another man. He did not know if Oscar did it on purpose, but as someone with a sharp sense of hearing, he could hear them clearly even though the room was soundproof.
Kurt still had the cigarette in his mouth. He took out his phone and made a call. “Are you asleep?”
“Not yet. I’m still finding information for Boss. Why are you still awake at this hour?” Hugo asked.
“I’m staying at his place now,” Kurt replied.
Hugo froze for a bit. “He didn’t kick you out of the house?”
“No. He allowed me to spend a night here.”
“He’s willing to let his love rival spend a night at his place? That’s unusual. Why did you call me, though? You should take a good rest.”
“They’re in the next room. I can’t sleep.”
Hugo, who was drinking from a glass, nearly spewed the water in his mouth. “What?”
“My heart sank because I could hear them from my room. I couldn’t help but give you a call. I’ll hang up if I’ve disturbed you.” Kurt was a taciturn man, and he could only talk to Hugo. After all, they had worked closely for years and treated each other like brothers.
“Wait a second,” Hugo said.
Kurt did not end the call. He did not know what else to say.
After remaining silent for a while, Hugo cleared his throat and said, “You must understand that she belongs to Boss, and they’re a happy family. Why would you torture yourself like this? I can always introduce you to girls if you want a girlfriend. Don’t try to steal his woman. Listen to me, tell Boss to transfer you back, and let’s work together for years to come. By the time he raises a new generation of bodyguards when we hit the age of forty, we could retire honorably and find a job in Clinton Corporations. With the money we earned, we could easily marry a wife and raise a family.”
Kurt kept mum.
“Hey, did you hear me?”
“Yes, I’m listening.”
“Dude, I meant what I said. You wouldn’t have a future with Mrs. Clinton. Had she had any feelings for you in the last two years, she would have agreed to be with you since she was divorced. You do notice she only sees you as a friend, don’t you? We might be Boss’ bodyguards, but we all know it’s not a glamorous occupation. Do you think you’re a good match for her?” Hugo hit the nail on the head. He hoped Kurt would back off and stop being so fixated on Amelia. He only uttered such harsh words to dampen Kurt’s spirit because he knew the two of them were clearly incompatible. Hugo just did not want Kurt to continue living in a fantasy.
Once again, what Hugo said had rendered Kurt speechless.
“Come on, say something. If you want a life partner, get someone who’s compatible with you. More importantly, you should get someone with a ladylike demeanor,” Hugo suggested. “Forget about Mrs. Clinton. It’s time to move on.”
“I’m going to bed now. I’m tired,” Kurt said with a frown before hanging up the phone as if he did not care to listen to Hugo.
Kurt became even more perplexed after talking with Hugo. Everyone seemed to opine that he was not worthy of Amelia’s love. Even Tiffany, who initially supported him, changed her mind when Oscar appeared.
He did not expect Amelia to reciprocate his love. All he ever wanted was to observe her up close, but now, someone had robbed him of the chance to do so. The agony he went through was indescribable, yet no one bothered to ask how he felt. Everyone seemed to think that he should forget about Amelia and move on.
Kurt tousled his hair in frustration like a beast trapped in a cage.
