Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 148,Love You Enough to Leave You

“I’ll leave it to the two of you then. I’m old now, and I can’t meddle in the affairs of young people anymore,” Elizabeth said, somewhat grudgingly. “Oz, if you no longer feel the same for Cassie as you did at the beginning, then you shouldn’t have led her on. Cassie could have gone on to much better things at Erihal. Perhaps she could even have become a world-class pianist after two or three years. The Yard family doesn’t lack money, but it’s always good for women to have a profession of their own.” Oscar stared steadfastly ahead without speaking. Elizabeth sighed. “Oz, I’m truthfully quite disappointed with you.

I’d always believed that you were a man of your word. However, you’ve gone back and forth between two women, taking pleasure in both of them even as they suffer from your indecisiveness. As a woman, I despise men like you. Of course, I strongly objected to Cassie becoming a third party in your marriage. It’s too bad that she’s my only daughter. As much as I disapprove of her, she’s all I have, and I’ve got to support her. I can’t stand by idly and let you hurt her.” Elizabeth finished off her surprisingly moving speech by gazing up at Oscar defiantly. Oscar looked away. After pausing for a moment, he met Elizabeth’s eyes.

“Mrs. Yard, I didn’t think things through since the beginning, so I’m truly sorry for that. I’ll definitely deal with Cassie tactfully and deal with her as gently as I can. Even though we may no longer be a couple, I’d still like to affirm that as long as she needs help, she only has to tell me. I’ll immediately drop everything to help her to the best that I can. This is my promise to her. You can be sure that I’ll keep my word.” Elizabeth’s resentment towards Oscar had greatly lessened by this point, and her face was no longer as tense as it was. “Oz, this is the promise you have made, so you can’t go back on your word for the rest of your life.

All I have is Cassie. Even if you don’t end up together with her, I hope that you’ll help Cassie retain Yard Group and fend off prying hands. Cassie’s excellent at playing the piano, but she doesn’t have much experience in business dealings. I don’t know if Cassie will be able to manage things,” Elizabeth replied. Oscar nodded. “Mrs. Yard, I promise that whatever happens between us, I’ll never let Yard Group fall into the hands of an outsider. This is my solemn promise to you. As long as Cassie asks for help, I’ll come to her aid.” Elizabeth was pleased. “Oz, it’s late.

her.” Oscar hesitated, then nodded slowly. “You head back first then, Mrs. Yard. Leave Cassie to me,” Oscar said. “Mr. Yard’s busy with the business these days, and it’ll be taxing on him to care for Cassie as well. Go back and assure him that I’ll be here.” “We’ll have to

but she insisted on having you here. I’m helpless in many matters regarding Cassie. Please bear with her, and I’ll leave her to you,” Elizabeth instructed before picking up her bag and making her exit. Oscar stood outside Cassie’s hospital room. The entire corridor seemed deserted. That block consisted of premium wards, and the decor and

on a chair along the corridor,” Carter answered evenly. “It’s late. You should go back early and rest. I’ll be heading back with Tiff in a while,” Amelia said. “OK.” Over the phone, the husband and his wife spoke tenderly. The conversation bloomed with an intimacy that had never happened before in their interactions over the years. An air of bashful romance floated over

On their end, Tiffany glanced at Amelia kindly after she hung up, saying, “Babe, you look ridiculous. If you smile any wider, your teeth are all going to fall out.”

 “Babe, do you know what you look like now?” Tiffany asked, nudging Amelia. Amelia, however, looked at Tiffany with incomprehension. “What do I look like?” “You look like a little fool who’s fallen head over heels in love. You’ve been married to that husband of yours for five years. The first rush of romance should have been long over! Isn’t it a little too late to feel bashful

sweet feeling after the conversation she had with Oscar earlier. “Tiff, don’t laugh at me,” Amelia said in earnest. Tiffany rearranged her face to look serious. “Babe, calm down. I don’t want to be a wet blanket either, but I simply can’t bear to see you

a clear mind and forbid yourself from getting too close, and don’t commit yourself so fully to him! If the worst happens, at least you won’t have such a hard time picking up the pieces.” Amelia’s smile dimmed somewhat. At that, Tiffany felt a twinge of guilt. “I’m sorry, Babe. I…” “Tiff, you’re right,” Amelia broke in, shaking her head vigorously. “If you hadn’t reminded me, I’d still be naively smitten, and leap into his arms without thinking of the possible consequences. I’m very grateful to you for your reminder.” Tiffany grew uneasy.

our roles. Perhaps I got a little too greedy along the way and started wanting more than I should have expected. But what isn’t destined to be mine will be taken away from me eventually. I’ll just go with the flow. What’s mine will be mine, and I’ll let go if it isn’t meant to be. There’s no point in forcing things.” Tiffany began to panic. “Babe, are you really OK?” Amelia looked sober. “Tiff, I’m not that fragile. I’ve always understood the nature of our relationship and my place in Oscar’s heart. I won’t force things to go my way or expect them to. Let’s go, or the Scotts may be worried.”

us by now.” Gravely, Amelia remarked, “Don’t think too badly of the Scotts. Their attitude has improved considerably over these four or five years. Besides, I’m not asking for much. All I want is the safe delivery of my

I respect your decision. If you have chosen not to get involved, then I shan’t either. Don’t expect me to be polite to the Scotts, though. That’s the best I can do to keep myself from rushing over and beating them up. I get all fired up whenever I think about
