Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 242 As If His Heart Has Stopped Beating

The Clinton family and the Walker family sat around the dining table. The maids served the food quickly, and in a matter of minutes, the large dining table was laden with a myriad of dishes. There were all kinds of delicacies one could wish for, and everything looked simply mouth-watering.

Olivia smiled as she said, “I was a little short of time, so I didn’t prepare anything too fancy. I also wasn’t sure if you’d be used to the local cuisine since you’ve just returned from Anglandur, so I had them prepare a variety of different cuisines. Try it and see whether they are to your liking.”

Carol looked at the sumptuous spread with a delighted smile. “Olivia, you’re so thoughtful. There’s so much food here that it’s almost like a royal feast!”

“We’re okay with anything, Mrs. Clinton. Mom usually asks our maids to prepare local cuisine since we much prefer it over other cuisines,” Isabella added sweetly.

Olivia’s smile widened when she heard that. “That’s good then. I was afraid that you wouldn’t be used to it.”

The atmosphere around the dining table was quite pleasant. Isabella and Rachel were both stylish, gorgeous, and confident women. They also knew how to liven up the mood on the table. Although it was clear that Isabella had taken an interest in Oscar, she probably considered Amelia’s feelings as his wife and did not ask any inappropriate questions.

“Mrs. Clinton, I heard that Clinton Corporations is now fully under Oscar’s management. Is that true?” Isabella asked in a seemingly casual tone as she drank her soup.

As soon as Isabella asked that, Amelia glanced at her subconsciously, but she remained silent.

As for Oscar, he did not take a single look at Isabella. Instead, he doted on Amelia by placing more food on Amelia’s plate like a good husband. “Do you want some salmon? Shall I take some for you?” he asked lovingly, acting as if they were the only ones in the room.

Amelia shot him a glance and replied softly, “Oscar, we have company.” It was a hint to him that now was not the time to display affection. After all, the Walker family was Olivia’s guest, so it would be rather inappropriate to show their affection publicly.

Oscar merely placed some salmon on Amelia’s plate and continued eating calmly, oblivious that everyone was staring at him.

Olivia was also staring at them and seemed to have forgotten to answer Isabella’s question.

When she returned to her senses, she said apologetically, “That’s how the both of them usually are. Amelia was in a car accident a while ago, and she and my grandson went through a lot before their conditions stabilized. Even so, she still hasn’t fully recovered yet. That incident gave Oscar a dreadful fright, which is why he’s so attentive. Owen and I have had to put up with their lovey-dovey behavior, but at the same time, it makes us feel at ease to see them getting along so well.”

Carol merely smiled.
