Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 321 Unfaltering Longing

Oscar pursed his lips tightly as his expression hardened.

His silence only served as proof to Olivia that her life did not matter to him. Naturally, she was crestfallen. I’ve suffered all sorts of hardships to raise him and have pinned high hopes on him. Yet, I’m nowhere comparable to the woman he loves.

Indeed, Olivia had realistically depicted the knotty relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law—whether a man should value his wife or his mother more.

Tears began rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably as she cried, “I’ve given birth to that rascal for nothing. To think I’ve given him the best of everything, yet I’m nothing compared to a woman. It used to be Cassie, and now it’s Amelia. It’s getting out of hand. He even has the intention to throw me aside for a woman who stole my precious grandson from me.”

At that point, Owen’s expression turned more grim.

“Oscar, are you still not going to apologize? Do you want your mom to get admitted into the hospital again?” he yelled.

Exasperated, Oscar glanced at Olivia and finally gave in. “Mom, I’m sorry.”

Olivia did not respond, leaning against Owen.

Right then, Isabella stood up and went over to sit beside Olivia. “Mrs. Clinton, Oscar is a filial son. If there’s anything, you two should sit down and talk it out nicely. Don’t be mad at Oscar anymore, or else it’ll hurt your relationship.”

The elder woman glanced at her, then stretched her hand out to give Isabella a few light pats on the back of her hand. “Isabella, I know you’re a nice and caring child. Fret not; I’ll be on your side.”

Isabella smiled. “Mrs. Clinton, I’m not here to cause an argument between you and Oscar. I’d feel uneasy if you two get into a conflict because of me.”

Olivia propped herself up from Owen’s embrace and held onto Isabella’s hand tightly. “Isabella, I know you’ve suffered a lot while staying beside Oscar. Don’t worry; I won’t let you suffer any injustice. But we aren’t in a great mood today. I think you should go home first in case we frighten you in any way.”

Isabella knew Olivia was trying to send her away with some random excuse.

After pondering over it, she smiled. “I shall return now then, Mrs. Clinton. I’ll visit you tomorrow if I’m free.”

“I’ll let the butler see you out.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Clinton.”

The moment Isabella left, Olivia’s face fell in displeasure as she uttered, “Let’s have dinner.”

“Mom, I still need to finish up some work, so I’ll skip dinner. You and Dad can go ahead.” Oscar rejected her straightforwardly.

Olivia pushed herself up from the sofa and came before him. “Oscar, are you intending to distance yourself from your dad and me too?”

Oscar was dumbfounded.
