Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 Pretentious

Holding Tony tighter, Amelia walked forward. Just when Oscar thought that she had believed in Isabella’s words, Amelia came to a halt in front of Isabella. Isabella just couldn’t wait to see her go berserk. However, Amelia just looked at Isabella and uttered calmly, “Ms. Walker, congratulations. I can’t deny that you’ve put up a great show. I would believe you if he were another man. However, if you’re talking about Oscar, I’m sorry but he’s not that kind of man. Even though we’ve split up for two years, I still trust him.”

Isabella’s face fell slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

“Ms. Winters, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m not trying to convince you to believe me. I’m telling Oscar that it’s fine if he doesn’t want to be responsible, and I’m willing to be the woman behind him. I just don’t want him to be worried.”

Amelia nearly burst out laughing.

The more magnanimous a woman acted, the more she would demand. She would make good use of her sensibility to ask for more.

“Ms. Walker, you’re an outstanding woman. With a good appearance and a powerful family background, why are you willing to be a man’s secret lover? Even if you’re willing, your parents won’t agree to it. They’ll feel distressed for you. Do you want to see them worrying about your marriage in their old age?” Amelia smiled as she questioned innocently.

Isabella’s face drastically changed.

“Amelia, who are you to talk to my future daughter-in-law like this? Don’t forget that you’ve divorced Oscar. You have nothing to do with the Clintons now. In fact, you’re the real outsider here, not Isabella.” Although Olivia was smiling and her voice sounded gentle, everyone got the chills upon hearing her words.

Amelia stiffened up as her smile faltered.

“Mom…”

“Who’s your mom? Stop being shameless. I am not fit to be your mom.”

Amelia’s lips parted, but she could not get the words out of her mouth.

Oscar immediately stepped forward and pulled her into his arm. “Mom, I’m sending them back. Also, I’ll never be with Isabella. The engagement is just your wishful thinking. I didn’t know about it at all. If you insist on doing it, Isabella will only embarrass herself. I’m a man, so I’m not afraid of any scandal.”

Olivia panted heavily in a fury.

“Oscar, apologize to your mom,” Owen demanded.

“Dad, Amelia is back, and Tony is so intelligent and adorable. Don’t you want our family to be complete? Do you and Mom want me to suffer in my marriage?” That was the first time Oscar had questioned Owen sternly in the eyes.

Owen’s gaze flitted around. He mulled over it for some time.

Pulling Isabella over, Olivia said, “Oscar, we’re not destroying your marriage. You’ve broken up with Amelia, and she left with Tony. You have nothing to do with her now. Moreover, the entire upper-class society knows about your engagement with Isabella now. What are you going to do with her?”

“Mom, you and Mrs. Walker planned the engagement. I’ve never agreed to it.” With that, Oscar walked away with Amelia and Tony in his arm.

“Oscar, stop right there.”

“Mom, you’re too agitated now. I’ll bring Amelia to visit and apologize to you some other day. There are too many people here. I don’t want them to scare Tony,” Oscar turned around and said before he left with Amelia and Tony.

“Owen, look at your son. That woman stole his soul the moment she returned. He dares to offend his mom now,” Olivia complained while clutching her chest.

Owen sighed helplessly.

“Mrs. Clinton, Oscar is just bewitched. Don’t be mad. The more you make things difficult for that woman, the happier she is. In front of Oscar, you have to be nice to her and hide your bad emotions. Otherwise, you’ll ruin your relationship with Oscar,” Isabella suggested obediently while holding Olivia’s arm.

Glancing at her obedient look, Olivia’s anger vanished. She became even more fond of Isabella.

“Isabella, aren’t you mad at Oscar for mistreating you?” Olivia asked probingly.

“Mrs. Clinton, I’m not mad. I care for Oscar and I just want him to marry me. My mom told me that if I marry a man from a prominent family, I have to accept the fact that he might go around fooling with other women. She wanted me to be more accepting and understanding. So, I won’t get mad at Oscar no matter what,” Isabella explained in a very considerate manner.

Olivia patted the back of Isabella’s hand and smiled. “Isabella, I really like you. With a daughter-in-law like you, our family will be harmonious. Don’t worry. I’ll only accept you as the daughter-in-law of our family. As for that woman, she has chosen to leave us, so I won’t let her come back.”

“Mrs. Clinton, thank you for liking me. However, I don’t want your relationship with Oscar to be destroyed because of me. I’m still young, so I’m willing to wait for Oscar. I believe that I will melt his heart one day,” Isabella said thoughtfully.

“You’re a good girl. It’s difficult to find such a thoughtful young girl like you. Don’t worry. I’ll be on your side. You will definitely be my daughter-in-law,” Olivia replied.
