The Love that Never Really Dies

Elizabeth’s face changed. “Pregnant? When I visited her in the hospital you didn’t mention anything about it. How could she be pregnant suddenly?” Olivia suppressed her anger and said, “Liz, what is wrong with you today? How could you talk like this? I couldn’t say that much considering the crowd in the hospital the other day. Amelia is already five months pregnant, and I’ll be a grandmother next year.” “What’s going to happen to Cassie now that she is pregnant? Cassie is pregnant with Oscar’s child too. We are here today to discuss their marriage matters with you.”

Amelia’s eyes flashed with pain while utter disbelief darted across Oscar’s eyes. He looked at Amelia only to see the hurt hidden in her eyes. His heart twitched uncontrollably at that. Increasingly, he could not bear the sight of Amelia being sad. However, the news of Cassie’s pregnancy caught him by complete surprise. He had said that he loved Cassie, but he had never expected to have children with her. Olivia’s face fell immediately. “Liz, our families have been friends for a long time, so you can’t say malicious things like that. I would have been overjoyed to hear this if Cassie and Oscar were still engaged.

However, Oscar is married now and his wife is pregnant. Even though it is very normal to have mistresses in our society, it is not acceptable for our family as it is not aligned with our family values. I congratulate Cassie on her pregnancy, but please don’t link it to Oscar. We Clintons cannot offer to house your precious daughter.” Elizabeth flicked her perfectly coiffed hair and said, “Olivia, you’ve said so yourself that our families have been friends for years. No matter what, I wouldn’t make up something like this. Cassie is pregnant and she is really bearing Oscar’s child. If you don’t believe it, just ask Oscar. If he is a man he will own up to it.” Olivia turned to Oscar who actually nodded and said, “Mom, I did have a thing with Cassie.

I plan to marry her as well.” Olivia was so angry she raised her hand to give Oscar a loud resounding slap. Everyone was taken aback by the crisp sound of that slap. Nobody had expected Olivia to slap her own son. Oscar was a legendary figure in the business world and everyone looked up to him. His words were as good as the king’s decree. “Mom, how could you hit Oscar?” Stephanie exclaimed. Heartbroken, Olivia stared at Oscar and lamented, “Oscar, you’ve brought the company to such great heights, it led me to think that you were an honorable and upright man.

Never did I expect you to be such a mess when it came to your personal relationships. You have such a wonderful wife, yet you gave her up for a woman that had not only hurt you but had multiple relationships with other men. Is this how you’re going to repay me?” Oscar pursed his lips and silently allowed his mother to vent her fury. However, his silence angered her further, which led her to pant heavily while clutching her chest in agony. Worried that something would happen to her, Amelia quickly went up to support her. ”Mom, don’t be too worried. I’m sure that there must be some misunderstanding here. Take it easy, and let’s just talk properly.” It was only then that Olivia looked a little more relieved.

of this family, so as long as you disapprove, I will not allow her to marry into the family. So don’t worry, all right?” Olivia finally looked better. She nodded and said, “Owen, remember what you said, and don’t disappoint me. Amelia is the only daughter-in-law I will ever have. If you

happened halfway through his drinking that night. He was an excellent drinker. If not for Cassie spiking his drink, he definitely would not have difficulty recalling that night. He did not want to be cynical toward Cassie who looked pure and innocent on the surface, so he suppressed his suspicion. However, he was truly disgusted today, especially after she brought her parents to force this marriage on him. While he was willing to

We have been friends for decades, and you have watched Cassie grow up since she was a little girl. Is this what you think of her?” To that, Olivia said, “If I had known that this little girl would use such despicable ways to destroy my son’s family, I’d rather that we’d

She had an impulse to snatch the envelope from the latter’s hands, but she restrained herself and waited painfully instead. Olivia poured out the contents of the envelope. There
