Amelia asked, “Mr. Clinton, aren’t you being a bit too controlling?” “You’re my woman. You’re not allowed to contact any other man except me.” “Why are you so unconfident in yourself?” Oscar stared at her. Amelia shook her head and laughed. She walked over and wrapped her arms around his neck, then said, “You’re outstanding and handsome. I should be the unconfident one. As long as you still want me, I’ll never leave you.” Oscar took her by the waist and pulled Amelia in until their bodies were in full contact with each other. He looked into her eyes calmly. “Always remember, you’re mine. You’re not allowed to contact other men without my permission. Otherwise, I’ll punish you.”
“Oh… Mr. Clinton, don’t tell me you’re jealous? If you admit that you are, I won’t glance at any other men ever again.” “Amelia… Sometimes you make me love and hate you all at once.” Amelia remained silent. Mr. Clinton, are you praising or insulting me? “Do you mean to say that you actually love me too?” Oscar was taken aback by this question. Do I love Amelia? He still had no answers to that question. He was confused about his feelings for her. “I’ve been a good wife for five years. Don’t you have any feelings for me at all?” Oscar pinched her nose and said adoringly, “You’re thinking of nonsense again, aren’t you? All you need to do now is rest up and give birth to the child safely.”
Amelia’s heart sank a little. Oscar did not want to accept that he had fallen for Amelia. Perhaps the care and concern he was showing her were simply because of the child in her belly. Although he had said that he did not want the child, it was the Clinton family’s first grandchild, after all. Oscar, are you only treating me kindly because of this child? “If I said my only wish was to hear you tell me ‘I love you,’ would you do it?” Oscar patted her on the head and said, “They say that pregnant women tend to overthink a lot. It looks like this mind of yours indeed thinks about too much nonsense.” Although Amelia kept a smile on her face, the happiness in her gaze slowly disappeared. When Oscar noticed the change in her eyes, he caressed her cheek and asked, “Are you angry?”
Amelia smiled, but it did not reach her eyes. “You provide me with such a comfortable life and treat me so gently now. How dare I get angry at you? That would be too ungrateful of me.” Oscar tapped her on the nose and spoke in a low voice. “You can’t stop pouting. You still dare say you aren’t upset?” Amelia slapped his hand away and replied, “I’m not as easily angered as you think.” Oscar pulled her into a hug and whispered something in her ear. Amelia’s eyes widened and started to redden. She said with a slightly hoarse voice, “Mr. Clinton, you’ve finally said those three words.”
“Silly girl!” Oscar patted her on the head and smiled. “Stop overthinking, okay? Go to bed. You’re pregnant and should get more rest.” “Do you have any idea what you resemble right now?” Amelia teased. “What?” “You’re just like an old grandma, nagging non-stop. But you’re more affable like this, and it’s cute. I love this side of you.” Oscar did not notice that he was looking at Amelia affectionately. While the couple was experiencing a romantic moment, Carter had driven back to the Scott residence. Faye had always greeted him enthusiastically when he arrived home.
However, this time she simply snorted and said coldly, “Wow, I can’t believe you’re finally back. I thought you’d already forgotten about this family.” Carter was still bothered by Tiffany’s words, but greeted his mother patiently, “Hi, Mom.” “Don’t call me Mom. I’m not worthy of being called that. You clearly don’t see me as your mother anymore.” Carter knew that she was angry about the issue with Jennifer. “Mom, you’ll always be someone I respect,” Carter said seriously as he took a seat on the sofa. Faye snorted coldly. “If you still regarded me as your mother, you’d never have treated Jennifer like that,” she said angrily, “I heard that it’s all because of Amelia again.
You’d better realize that she’s merely an obstacle between you and Jennifer. I should have made her go to jail four years ago.” Carter’s expression darkened. “What do you mean?” Faye realized that she had misspoken. However, things had long passed, so she was not afraid of speaking about it now. Carter wouldn’t disown his mother just for a woman anyway. “I only withdrew the lawsuit because I felt sorry for her. Otherwise, she’d have gone to jail long ago.” Carter glowered as he clenched his fist. He asked, “Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?” Faye replied, “How’s that too far?
That woman neither comes from good family background nor is she well-educated. She’s not worthy of you. She wanted to marry into money, so I did everything that I could to ruin her. However, she was lucky to catch Oscar immediately after you left. I’m telling you, she was definitely cheating on you. That’s why she could turn to Oscar so quickly. Only a fool like you would believe that she’s innocent. Do you have any idea what people are saying about her? They’re all saying she’s a gold digger that’s willing to do anything for money. I really have no idea what you see in her.”
