Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 272 Give It A Break

Amelia shook her head in response.

Oscar bent down to help her to her feet, but she pulled away from him instead. The look in his eyes changed instantly, and he slammed his fist against the wall, inches away from her. The impact was so hard that it broke his skin and caused his fist to start bleeding on the spot.

Olivia and the others came running over the moment they heard him bellow in pain. “Calm down and talk it out, Oscar! You’ll scare Amelia like this!” she shouted while banging on his bedroom door.

Oscar took a deep breath and said, “We’re fine, Mom. You guys can head back downstairs.”

Olivia was still worried. “Open the door, Oscar! I’m sure there’s been a misunderstanding! How about you two stay separately for a few days and talk things out when you have both calmed down?”

Oscar tugged at his hair in frustration and accidentally raised his voice as he shouted, “We’re fine, Mom! Could you please let us talk in peace?”

When he didn’t hear a response from Olivia, Oscar realized he had acted out of place and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean it that way. I just need you to give us some space.”

“All right, then. You two talk it out peacefully, okay? No more fighting,” Olivia said helplessly before leaving with the others.

Amelia had a conflicted look in her eyes as she watched Oscar undo his necktie irritably, his loosened collar giving him some “bad boy” vibes.

“Amelia, what happened last night was my fault, and I apologize for it. If you don’t like me being around other women, I can replace all my female secretaries and assistants with male ones. If you don’t like me socializing with women from wealthy families, I can promise to stay far away from them. I can try my best to change anything you don’t like, so just tell me what you need and I’ll get it done.”

For Amelia’s sake, Oscar was willing to go against his own principles, which he would never compromise before.

Amelia didn’t feel good about the whole situation at all.

“You don’t have to do this for me, Oscar. I don’t deserve it at all. I think we should give each other some space for a couple of days. I’ll bring Tony over to Tiffany’s for a few days and then we’ll talk about our divorce.” Amelia had to muster every ounce of willpower and strength she had just to force those words out of her mouth.
