Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 695 My First Compliment From You

After lunch, both of them walked out of the restaurant side by side. Olivia asked, “Isabella, is everything fine between Oscar and you?”

“Now that Oscar is married, he tries to avoid any misunderstanding. Even though I’m his god-sister, it’s unavoidable for him to treat me indifferently due to the fact that we’re not related by blood,” Isabella commented in a nonchalant tone while giving her shoulders a shrug.

After pondering a moment, Olivia suggested, “Come, I’ll go with you to the office and talk to Oscar about it.”

“Aunt Olivia, there’s no need for that. Since we’re both working in the same place and I had feelings for him before, it’s normal for him to keep his distance.”

“In that case, do you still like him?”

Isabella was briefly stunned before breaking out a wry smile. “It’s not easy to let go once you love someone. Nevertheless, I’ve decided to go on blind dates. There’s this guy who’s the eldest son of the Windsor family and has just returned from overseas. My mom says that he’s someone successful and has a good sense of humor. Since he’s educated overseas, his background would be similar to mine. Therefore, I think we would make a good match.”

Olivia tilted her head at Isabella and smiled. “It’s good that you have chosen that path. Just a few days ago, I mentioned you to a few friends of mine from prominent families, asking them to introduce some eligible bachelors. They did bring up a few and even showed me pictures. However, I was worried that you wouldn’t be open to it, so I didn’t tell you. Now that you are, you should take a look. If you see anyone that catches your eye, I’ll make the arrangements for you to meet them.”

Suddenly, an evil glint flashed in Isabella’s eye, as she watched the ongoing traffic in front of her. A devious thought had entered her mind. She was wondering how wonderful it would be if she could push the hypocritical old hag beside her toward the road so that the latter would disappear from the world. If it wasn’t because of Olivia’s unrealistic promises, she wouldn’t have been entrapped by her feelings for Oscar.

“Isabella, what’s wrong? The light has turned green.” Olivia’s voice brought her back to reality.

Regaining her senses, she gave Olivia an apologetic look. “Aunt Olivia, excuse me for being distracted.”

Olivia replied, “Let’s go. Next time, you have to be more mindful when crossing the road. Or else, you might be hit by a car.”

“I understand,” Isabella acknowledged the advice.

When they returned to Clinton Corporations, Isabella remarked, “Aunt Olivia, I’ll be going back to my office and won’t be going up with you.”

Olivia nodded in response.

As Isabella took the elevator up, Olivia took a separate one that was reserved for members of the Clinton family to the top floor.

“Welcome, Mrs. Clinton,” the secretary greeted Olivia upon arrival.
