Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 268 Will He Hate Me

“Oscar, why are you acting this way?” Amelia sighed in dejection. “I’m really tired. Indeed, I love you, but I don’t wish to witness scenes of you flirting and having sex with other women anymore. I’m giving my blessing to you and Cassie. In this love triangle, I’m nothing but a loser. I give up. It’s hurtful for me to hear Cassie’s insults, and there’s no need for you to spend time with both of us. That’s too tiring.”

Oscar’s eyes were blazing indignantly. He had no idea how to convince Amelia that he didn’t love Cassie at all. If he still pitied Cassie previously, now, all he had for that woman was utter disgust.

Amelia continued, “Oscar, let’s give each other some time to calm down. We can talk about the divorce when we’re both rational.”

Frustrated, Oscar ran a hand through his hair before grabbing her shoulder. “Why? You love me, don’t you? Why won’t you give me another chance?” he demanded.

Amelia glanced at him as a myriad of emotions bombarded her.

At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to throw herself into his arms and cry her heart out. Though she wasn’t sure her insistence was the right decision, she didn’t want Oscar to see her in a pitiful state.

If she lost her eyesight, the Clintons wouldn’t be cruel enough to kick her out. However, she couldn’t be sure if they’d remain the same after a few years. The Clinton family was affluent and wealthy, and Oscar was the CEO of a corporation. There was no way Olivia would allow her son to stay married to a blind woman. Even if Olivia treated Amelia kindly, she was closer to her own daughter, Stephanie.

It was better to leave rather than be kicked out later. This way, her dignity would be spared, and she would be on good terms with everyone else.

Alas, she didn’t expect to see the ugly side of human nature when she was trying to get Tony’s custody.

Though Olivia used to adore her, she had bared her fangs at her.

Only then did she realize that she was merely an outsider in this family. Olivia could treat Amelia as her own daughter when nothing happened, but when her interest was threatened, she’d become a devil who’d kick Amelia out in a cruel manner.

Amelia could still remember how terrifying her mother-in-law was.

“Oscar, you want to hear the real reason?” Amelia lifted her head and met Oscar’s gaze. She held back her tears and declared, “I can’t forget the scene of you f*cking another woman. It will always remind me of what a scum you are. You claimed to love me, but you could still have sex with someone else. Your love is too cheap. No, I wonder if you’ve ever loved me. Perhaps you’re used to lying to me. You enjoy how much I love you. Occasionally, you’ll give me something to look forward to. You’ve achieved your goal, for I’ve fallen head over heels in love with you before getting my heart broken into a million pieces.”

Oscar’s gaze on her never shifted.

Her heart was wrenching in pain. She never wanted this to happen.

But have you ever treated us like your family? Your sister is the mastermind behind the accident that harmed both Tony and me. Her punishment? A brief scolding, and that’s it.
