Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 214 I Will Not Lie To You

“Mr. and Mrs. Yard, thank you for attending Anthony’s welcome baby party today. The guests are all gathered there. If you think it’s too noisy there, you can head outside. We have seats out there, too,” Amelia explained politely.

Elizabeth pursed her lips and sneered, “Stop putting up an act. We’re here to see if your son will die young. Cassie lost her kid, but you get to form a happy family? I won’t let that happen!”

Amelia’s face turned grim at her evil comment.

“Mrs. Yard, if you’re not here to give your blessings to my son, please leave,” she declared coolly.

Without looking at the Yards, Oscar told Amelia softly, “Come on, let’s go. I’ll introduce you to someone who has helped me previously.”

Amelia inclined her head.

Oscar turned to leave with Amelia. However, Cassie grabbed his arm and stopped him. Stopping in his tracks, Oscar turned and shot daggers at Cassie’s hand that was holding his arm.

“Let go!” Oscar ordered.

Cassie felt heartbroken at his icy response. She looked up at him pitifully and said, “Oz, are you going to be this heartless to me?”

Oscar pulled away from her. “Ms. Yard, please mind your actions. I’m a married man.”

That felt like the joke of the year. Cassie wanted to laugh out loud, but she could only manage a bitter smile.

“Oz, what did you just call me?” She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. There’s no way Oscar will fall out of love with me that quickly!

If Cassie was smart, she wouldn’t have forced a man to make a decision at a party. No man would humiliate his own wife in public. Even if he didn’t love his wife, he’d still respect her. Thus, when Cassie acted as though they were still involved, Oscar immediately distanced himself from her.

“Ms. Yard, you must be still ill. I think you should head back to rest.” Oscar then squeezed Amelia’s waist gently to reassure her.

Cassie’s mouth set in a hard line. “Oz, when we were in love, I was your baby, and when we had sex, you called me honey. Why are you distancing yourself from me? You promised to treat me like a princess. Have you forgotten everything?”

Oscar scrunched up his face in displeasure. He had never called Cassie “baby” or “honey.” He wasn’t that romantic, so he’d express his love through his actions.

Clearly, Cassie was trying to drive a wedge between them.

Oscar planted a kiss on Amelia’s forehead gently. “Let’s go.”

Amelia nodded and told Cassie, “Ms. Yard, you should leave.”
