Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343 Do Not Make Me Despise You

Isabella took care of Oscar the entire time he was asleep. Only after his high body temperature dropped did she sit down by the bedside to gaze at the good-looking man.

Then, Isabella reached out to touch the man’s face. “Oscar, I really have fallen in love with you. If not, I wouldn’t have followed you around like a fly. What will it take for you to forget about that woman who left without a goodbye? You should be with me.”

Putting her head on Oscar’s chest, Isabella could hear his heart beating steadily, and that brought a smile to her face.

“Oscar, I think this is the first time we’ve ever been this close. There’s a sense of calmness in listening to your heartbeat. Oh, how I wish I could rest my head on you like this forever!” Like those of a teenage girl on her first date, Isabella’s cheeks suddenly turned red when she thought of a possible future for the two of them. “We’re a perfect match, you know? If you’re willing, I can marry you immediately. I’m serious, Oscar. For you, I’ll learn to be a great wife. I’ll even get the chefs at home to teach me how to cook properly. They already told me that I have the talent. I can even give up my piano and focus on our family instead. I can give you beautiful children, Oscar. How many would you like? How about two? A boy and girl.”

As Isabella continued to mutter to herself, she realized that she had never considered such things before. She used to despise her friends who became housewives for their families, but when staring at Oscar, she finally understood why they did what they did.

Isabella remained smiling for a while until she stumbled upon a few questions inside her head. “Am I not good enough for you, Oscar? Am I not better than Amelia? I don’t understand. Why are you still searching for her even though you two are divorced? Are you only going to accept me after we get intimate?”

With that, Isabella leaned in and forced her lips onto Oscar’s. Before letting him go, she bit the man’s lower lip.

“You’ll be mine one day, Oscar. That I promise you.” Pleased with herself, Isabella touched her lips and continued to gaze at the man with a deranged look in her eyes.

It was already six o’clock in the evening when Isabella decided to give Oliva a call. The elderly woman was glad to hear that Oscar was with Isabella, so she encouraged the young woman to continue spending more time with her son.

With Olivia’s support, Isabella was even more convinced that she would marry Oscar.

The woman then rested her head back on Oscar and fell asleep shortly afterward.

When Oscar finally woke up, his fever had subsided, and so had his headache. Since the room was pitch black, Oscar somehow thought the person lying on him was Amelia, so he ran his fingers through her hair and called out Amelia’s name.

However, when he heard his own hoarse voice, he suddenly remembered what had happened that morning. Oscar recalled how Isabella made a scene outside his office and how she barged in after he fired her. What happened after that was blurry at best to the man. Oscar remembered slowly falling asleep after somebody fed him medications, and he even dreamed of seeing Amelia again. They were holding each other tightly and kissing before he woke up.

Because of that, Oscar had trouble differentiating his dream from the real world. He thought Amelia was resting on him and that everything he dreamed was real.

Not long after feeling Oscar’s touch, Isabella, too, woke up. She immediately extended her hand to turn on the lights before questioning Oscar worriedly, “Are you feeling better, Oscar? Do you need me to get you anything?”

Oscar was greatly disappointed when he realized that he mistook Isabella for Amelia, so he quickly withdrew his hand from the woman. “Why are you here?”

“You had a high fever, Oscar. Since you didn’t want to go to the hospital, I had Linda help me carry you here so you could rest. You’ve been asleep since morning, and I took care of you the entire time. I know it’s impossible to make you fall in love with me in such a short time, but can you at least be a little nicer to me?” pleaded Isabella.

Still, even after hearing all that, Oscar remained indifferent toward the woman. “Get out.”

Immediately, the fantasy Isabella had before went up in smoke as she stared at the cold-hearted man in disbelief. “But Oscar, you—”

“Get out.”

Gritting her teeth, Isabella could feel her eyes starting to well up. “Do you have any idea how much I’ve done for you? When you were sick, I did everything I could to keep your body temperature down. I don’t expect you to thank me, but could you at least try not to be mean to me? I have feelings too, you know?”

Oscar felt much better by then, so he got out of bed and started walking toward the door, but Isabella quickly blocked his way.

“Where are you going, Oscar?”

“If you like it here so much, you can stay.”

“Are you really that heartless? Don’t I at least deserve a smile from you after all that I’ve done? Why do you have to treat me this way?”
