Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 698 Estranged

Isabella glanced at Carol, who was standing on the stage, talking eloquently. She then walked toward Oscar graciously.

“Oscar, Amelia, let me raise a toast to the both of you,” Isabella said with a smile. She was not acting frivolously, and thus Amelia and Oscar did not have any reason to reject her.

Amelia clinked her glass with Isabella’s and said, “You look exceptionally beautiful today, Ms. Walker. I think that you will catch a lot of bachelors’ attention today.”

Isabella studied Amelia discreetly and swiftly concealed the jealousy in her eyes. “You are definitely the most beautiful woman in the room, Amelia. With Oscar by your side, both of you look absolutely stunning together. Even I, as a woman, admire your beauty.”

“You’re too generous with your words, Ms. Walker. Both of us are beautiful in our own way. However, no matter how much effort I put into my appearance, I am still married with a child. I have long lost my value, but you are well in your prime. When you walked over just now, you have already caught the attention of many men,” Amelia replied somewhat nonchalantly.

Isabella, on the other hand, felt stung by her words.

She gripped her glass tightly as annoyance rose in her heart.

Stephanie and Noah then walked over to the group as well. Stephanie nodded politely to her older brother. “You look handsome today, Oscar.”

All Oscar did was to nod in response.

Stephanie bit her lip, but Noah looked at Amelia gently. “Just call for the waiters if you would like to have something to eat, Amelia. Please, make yourself at home. I’m sure that Oscar will take good care of you.”

Amelia nodded. “Got it.”

Suddenly, a commotion erupted near the entrance. Amelia turned and looked in the direction of where the sound was coming from, only to notice that June, Jennifer, and Carter appeared at the same time.

Jennifer was holding June’s hand as they walked toward Carol and Matthew, who had already exited the stage. They gave the older couple a fancy gift and chatted with them politely before walking over to where Amelia and the others were.

As Amelia stared at Jennifer and June walking hand-in-hand, she could not help but find it weird.

“It’s been a while, Amelia. How have you been?” June asked politely. “I have been caught up with a lot of bothersome matters recently. That’s why it’s been so long since I’ve gone to look for you.”
