Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 113 Oscar Cannot Marry Cassie

“That was not what I meant, but you insist on misunderstanding me, then I have nothing else left to say. I stand by my statement earlier; I do not agree for Cassie to marry into the Clinton family,” said Olivia firmly. She was adamant about this and didn’t give the Yards any chance to negotiate.

Charlie held onto Elizabeth who was about to breathe fire and said quite calmly, “Olivia, we have been friends for many years. I thought that you would like Cassie as a daughter-in-law. Did I misunderstand anything?”

“Sorry.” The many things that Olivia wished to say was condensed into this one word.

Elizabeth was about to lose her cool, but Charlie kept her at bay and prevented her from hurling even more accusations.

Oscar fake coughed, and said to them, “Mr. Yard, Mrs. Yard, if you are willing to put your trust in me, I will take care of this. And I will give you a satisfactory answer.”

The Yard husband and wife looked at each other tentatively.

Oscar went on, “I didn’t say that I won’t take up responsibility for Cassie. As I have mentioned, the Irushean designer I hired is working on a wedding gown that is made specially for her. It will be completed in a month. I never expected that she would miscarry. But I love her, so I do not care whether she can bear children or not.”

Elizabeth’s eyes widened in shock.

“If that was the case, why didn’t you say so?”

“You were so emotional that I didn’t have any chance to say anything,” said Oscar impassively.

Elizabeth was speechless.

“Mrs. Yard, five years ago I sincerely wanted to make Cassie my wife. Even after five years, my feelings towards her have not changed. To give her a surprise, I originally planned to propose to her in a month’s time. But now that she has miscarried, and the both of you kept forcing my hand, I have this sudden impulse to back out. I’m just not sure if Cassie is the most suitable person to be my wife. After all, your whole family is so different from what I envisaged. Mrs. Yard, I always thought that you were sensible, but it turns out that you are quite the shrew. To be honest, I am a little scared.”

Elizabeth’s face changed into many different shades in a matter of minutes, her heart went up and down on a rollercoaster ride.

“Oscar, what do you mean?”

Oscar rose from his seat. With a sincere attitude, he proposed, “Mr. Yard and Mrs. Yard, if you believe in me, just let me take care of this. No matter how Cassie and I end up, let the two of us handle our own affair. Is that alright?”

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth unexpectedly shot up in an aggravated manner. “Leave it to you, you say? What if you choose your wife and child? Then Cassie will be left with nothing and cast aside miserably. You, on the other hand, get to have everything after committing the perfect crime!”

Oscar’s lips curled into a spurious smile. “If that’s who you think I am, then I don’t really mind being called a scumbag,” said Oscar.

“Humph! I have misjudged you, Oscar,” Elizabeth blurted.

Charlie dragged her back to her seat, and silently chastised her, “Cassie is still in the hospital. Do you want her to wake up and blame you for pushing Oscar away?”

flitted across Oscar’s eyes. He left his chair and bowed deeply to the Yards. “Mr. Yard, Mrs. Yard, you are both good friends with my parents. I do not wish for this matter to derail your friendship. I am a grown man, I can handle my affair with Cassie. No matter if we choose to stay together or break up, you have my word that I will give you a satisfactory answer.
