Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 17


As Amelia carefully blow–dried Oscar‘s hair, running her hand through it, she was hit by a bout of nostalgia. After all, this was their routine in the first two years of their marriage. Sadly, such interactions had become hard to come by in the last two years.
Amelia did cherish these little, tender moments. However, she couldn’t look past the fact that Oscar had fallen for someone else. Despite her continued efforts, he just didn’t seem to care
“Mr. Clinton, I‘ve heard that men with coarse hair dote on their wives. What a lucky woman Ms. Yard would be when you marry her,” Amelia remarked.
Oscar, who had been enjoying being pampered, simply asked, “Why would you say that?”
“It was just a passing thought.” Amelia chuckled.  Read Daily Updated Chapters www.m.techkaushal.com
“Are you jealous?” 

Amelia placed the hairdryer down and wrapped herself around Oscar‘s neck, taking in his scent. “Do I have the right to be jealous?” 
“What do you think?” Oscar asked, lifting her chin. 
Tears immediately welled up in Amelia’s eyes. “You only have eyes for Ms. Yard now. Even if I said I was jealous, you’d probably find me a nuisance, wouldn‘t you?” 
Oscar promptly let go of her chin and pushed her away. The coldness returned to his eyes. “I‘m glad you understand. As long as you don‘t cause any trouble, I promise you your rightful share after our divorce.” 
Amelia lay in bed and smiled. “Mr. Clinton, you‘re far too generous with your money. No wonder so many women have come and gone, and yet, no one has had any complaints. Money really makes the world go round.” 
Oscar shot her a look. “Let‘s just sleep.” 
Amelia scooted into his embrace, just like how they used to be when they were a real couple. 
Oscar patted her on her shoulders and muttered, “Sleep now. Stop worrying yourself
sick.” 
Oscar drifted off to sleep very easily, but Amelia remained wide awake. She looked up at him and whispered, “As long as you still have an ounce of love for me, I will not willingly bow out of this crazy love triangle. I am clearly your wife, and yet I have to make way for this other woman who has hurt you in the past? How magnanimous must you be to think she‘s completely innocent?” 
Oscar continued to snore away.
Amelia closed her eyes. Oscar Clinton, Cassie Yard isn‘t as innocent as you think. I‘d hate to see you get hurt by her again. But no matter what I say, nothing will get through to you.
