Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Intense Objection

“Thank you!” Despite having so much to say, Amelia could only thank Oscar politely and sincerely.

Oscar stroked her hair dotingly and said, “I don’t want you to thank me. I just want you to be happy every day. If you want a divorce, I’ll do it. But I’ll never let go of you. I believe that you’ll return to the Clintons and be my wife again soon. When that happens, I’ll be sure to pamper you.”

Amelia was moved when she heard that, and her emotions were all over the place.

Oscar was not speaking honeyed words, but they were enough to melt Amelia’s heart.

He was an expert in capturing women’s hearts. Being an outstanding man, almost all women would fall for him, including Amelia.

Back then, she had been infatuated with Carter. However, after spending some time with Oscar, she could not help but fall for him.

Right at that moment, she wanted to throw herself into Oscar’s arms and tell him about all her worries. It was not that she wanted to gain his sympathy, but she was just tired. She was scared, knowing that she would be completely blind one day. Besides that, she was afraid that she would truly be a useless person after that happened.

However, when Amelia saw the unconditional love in Oscar’s eyes, she swallowed all the words. She did not dare to take the risk.

Amelia took a couple of steps back to keep a distance from Oscar before she said, “I’ll go see Tony.”

Noticing her cowardly behavior, a grim look flashed past Oscar’s eyes. However, he knew that he had to take things step-by-step. He had never once thought of giving up on Amelia, so the divorce would only mean temporarily being apart from her. When the right time came, they would naturally get back together again.

“I’ll go with you.”

“No. I want to be alone with Tony.”

Upon hearing that, Oscar did not force the issue.

Due to their upcoming divorce, the atmosphere in the Clinton residence had become tense in the past three days. Olivia, who was usually sweet and gentle, had not even smiled once. After the family had breakfast that morning, Oscar wiped his mouth before he announced the terrible news.

“Dad, Mom, Amelia and I will sign the divorce agreement today. Amelia will take custody of Tony. I’ve already had a lawyer prepare the division of our assets.”

Olivia, who was originally having her breakfast leisurely, slammed the silverware on the table as she glared at Oscar. “No!” she yelled.

Oscar then said, “Mom, I hope you’ll respect my decision on the divorce. Tony is still young, so he has to go with his mother.”

“You b*stard!” Olivia was enraged. “Tony is the eldest grandson of the Clintons, so I won’t let him live outside! I’ve talked to you about this, but you’re still so stubborn! If you insist on getting a divorce, I can’t do anything about it since I’m old now. However, Tony has to stay here. No one is allowed to take him away unless it’s over my dead body!”

A hint of pain flashed across Amelia’s eyes.

“Mom…”

“Don’t call me Mom! You’re not my daughter-in-law. I’ve told you to think about it and not get a divorce. You pretended to listen to me, but you’re still getting a divorce now. Since you hate being one of the Clintons so much, we won’t force you to stay any longer!”

Olivia was truly infuriated.

As she said before, she liked Amelia sincerely. However, their persistence in getting the divorce had truly hurt Olivia deeply. She did not think that Oscar cheating on Amelia was unforgivable. In fact, many couples among rich and prominent families were not genuinely in love with each other. Many even had lovers and mistresses on the side. What was most important was that they continued maintaining their marriage before the eyes of others.

Hence, when Olivia found out that Cassie had returned to the country and Oscar was seeing her again, she did not do anything to stop them. While she was unhappy about it, she still chose to ignore it as long as Cassie did not step into the Clinton residence. Olivia thought that it was normal for men to be a little less than faithful to their wives. Moreover, since Amelia was the daughter-in-law of such a prominent family and was enjoying all the wealth and splendor that came with it, she had to learn to be magnanimous and tolerant with Oscar.

Olivia had always thought of Amelia as a woman who knew her boundaries. She did not expect the latter to be so stubborn and even insist on getting the divorce. Feeling disappointed, Olivia started treating Amelia coldly.

In a guilty tone, Amelia said, “Mom, I’m sorry I’ve let you down.”

“If you’re sorry, then forget about the divorce! There’s no absolute reason for you to do that. Moreover, Oscar and Cassie aren’t seeing each other anymore. Oscar is now pampering and giving you more attention as well. Why can’t you just forget about the past and stay with him? You knew about Cassie from the beginning, but why are you making a fuss about it now? The Clintons have never mistreated you before, so is it really necessary for you to do this?” Olivia asked as she stared at Amelia.

Amelia could not hide the pain in her eyes.

All the Clintons were conveniently placing the blame on her for the divorce.

They unanimously agreed that Oscar cheating was not a big deal. Yet, to them, Amelia’s decision to get a divorce was unreasonable. In their opinion, Amelia was lucky that one of the Clintons would marry a woman with no prominent background like her. Not only was she being ungrateful now, but she was even asking for a divorce, demanding the division of assets and Tony’s custody. These were all monstrous sins that could not be forgiven.

“Mom, I’m sorry.” That was all Amelia could say. Due to the divorce, Olivia had turned hostile toward her.
