Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 168 I Would Love Anything From You

After Stephanie left, Cassie continued to lay on the bed as she stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.

She then pulled out her phone and called a very familiar number.

It took quite a few tries before the other side finally picked up. Cassie’s voice immediately softened. “Oz, I thought you were going to visit me at the hospital. Are you on your way?”

“I’m sorry, Ms. Yard. This is Amelia. Oscar is currently in the shower. He asked me to let you know that he’s quite tired after taking care of you the past few days, so he won’t be visiting tonight,” Amelia’s businesslike tone informed Cassie.

Cassie’s expression immediately soured. “I bet you’re feeling pretty good about yourself now, Amelia,” she said through gritted teeth.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, Ms. Yard. If you have nothing else to say, I’ll be hanging up.”

“Wait,” Cassie said. “Don’t get ahead of yourself. Oz is mine. He always has and always will be mine. If you have even half a brain left, then you should leave and take that sorry excuse of a child away too. If not, I’m going to make sure your child never sees the outside world.”

Amelia frowned but tried her best to stay patient. “Ms. Yard, I understand that you must be in a bad mood due to your miscarriage. I’ll pretend I never heard what you just said. Anyway, you should rest early as it’s getting late.”

“Amelia!” Cassie screamed into the phone, giving Amelia a shock.

“You better watch it. Oz is only treating you nicely because of that bastard child in your stomach. Besides, he’s already promised me that he’ll leave you once you give birth to the baby,” Cassie said haughtily.

Nonetheless, Amelia’s voice remained calm. “Thanks for the reminder, Ms. Yard. However, it’s none of your business if and when Oscar and I ever get a divorce, even if you become his wife in the future. Please remember that as of right now, I’m the woman he married. I have the right to protect my own marriage. As for you, don’t you feel embarrassed being so unreasonable and cocky? I bet the Yard family must feel incredibly ashamed that one of their own has resorted to being a mistress. Where did your dignity go? I really don’t understand how you have the confidence to say and do such things.”

“Amelia-”

“Ms. Yard, I believe Oscar and I will be in love for the rest of our lives. Yes, he may have talked about getting a divorce before, but it’s been months, and my baby is almost due. I believe he’s still in love with me, so I think you should learn your lesson and leave before it’s too late,” Amelia fired back calmly.

If it wasn’t for Oscar cooking her that meal, she might have held back. But after experiencing that homely, comfortable warmth, she couldn’t bear to think about him leaving her. She would protect her marriage till the very end for herself and for her baby.

Cassie’s expression resembled one of an angry bull. Her breathing started becoming irregular huffs out of rage.

“Watch out, Amelia Winters.”

Amelia didn’t notice anything off with Cassie and simply replied, “I’ll be hanging up now, Ms. Yard.”

After hanging up, Oscar opened the bathroom door and walked out in just his underwear.

Amelia blushed at the sight of Oscar’s perfect figure on nearly full display in front of her. Instinctively, she looked away.

Oscar walked over and pulled her face toward his before kissing her firmly. At the sight of his phone in her hand, he asked, “Who called?”
