Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 128 Awkward Moment

“Explain things? That’s all you ever say. Are you going to divorce me once she’s discharged? Is that it? If that’s the case, why don’t you just give it to me straight instead of keeping me in suspense? It’s absolute torture not knowing when exactly I’m going to be abandoned.” The previous day, she had decided to reconcile with Oscar, but when faced with his accusatory questions, all the grievances from the night before surged to the forefront. Even though she tried to suppress it, it was easier said than done.

Oscar gazed steadily at her.

Under his intense gaze, Amelia’s ears started to burn, and her eyes flickered for a moment.

She licked her parched lips and said with her head bowed, “Mr. Clinton, I don’t wish to create a scene with you here either, but can you at least give me a sign when you’re going to divorce me?”

Oscar’s eyes swirled with mixed emotions. After a long moment of silence, he voiced, “Have you fallen in love with me?”

Amelia’s heart squeezed in her chest, and she looked up at him. “If I say yes, you’d directly shut down this train of thought, wouldn’t you?”

Oscar’s response was to lift his hand and caress her cheek. “Don’t overthink things. Since we’re both here, let’s have lunch together later. We haven’t eaten together for two to three days now. How’s our baby doing? Giving you any trouble?”

Amelia’s eyes reddened, and her voice carried a hint of grievance when she spoke. “So you still remember that I’m carrying your child.”

Oscar was slightly at a loss. His eyes filled with tender affection when he gazed at her. “You and your wild imagination.”

He was about to say something else when his phone rang. Both he and Amelia stiffened at the same time. The latter quickly reined back her emotions and remarked, “That must be Ms. Yard. She really does care about you. You’ve only been away for a while, but she’s already calling you. Ms. Yard doesn’t look like she’s fooling around. On the contrary, she seems to love you to the moon and back. She puts even me, your legal wife, to shame.”

Oscar’s face visibly darkened, but he still answered the call. “Hello.”

Cassie’s voice drifted over the phone. “Oz, where are you? Aren’t you only collecting the medicine? What’s taking you so long?”

Impatience flashed across the man’s features.

“I’ll be back in a short while, Cassie. Don’t worry.”

“Have you gone back, Oz?”

Oscar toned down his temper and reassured, “No. I just ran into an acquaintance at the hospital, and we talked for a while. Stop overthinking things.”

Upon hearing his explanation, alarm bells started ringing in Cassie’s head. “Is your friend a male or a female? Which floor are you on? I’ll go look for you. I want to get to know your friend too.”

Irritation swelled in Oscar’s heart. If it were a few years back, he might have found Cassie’s temperamental ways adorable and would still accommodate her. But at present, her possessive streak was bordering on crazy that even he, as a man, found it unbearable.
