Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Sad

Olivia took a few deep breaths. After calming herself down a little, she continued, “Oscar, you’ve disappointed me big time. You thrive in everything you do since young. You are exceptional among people of your age. Someone as outstanding as you should have many women eyeing you. Who would’ve thought that you would allow yourself to fall into the hands of a woman? Here I thought you’d learn your lesson by now, but you just have to let history repeats itself. Furthermore, the one responsible was the same person as before. Did you have a screw loose?”

Oscar flashed a wry smile as it was the first time Olivia reproached him. Sometimes he wondered if he was out of his mind. Surely he did not expect that his first two-timing would put the three of them into this awkward situation.

If Oscar could be certain that he did not touch Cassie from the start, would he feel wronged?

Not only was he scammed into becoming a father, but before he could carry his to-be-born baby, the doctor told him it was miscarried. For that reason, it gave the Yard family an excuse to make him take full responsibility for it. On top of that, he had to listen to his mother’s lecture. The man was put in a difficult situation.

Oscar turned the steering wheel and drove steadily. “Mom, I’ll take care of the matter with Amelia and Cassie. Please don’t get angry, it’ll be bad for your heart. If something were to happen to you, I would be condemned for murdering my mother.”

“If you saw me as your mother, you wouldn’t do something like this to get on nerves.” Olivia burst into anger as she spoke.

“Mom, I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Let’s calm down for now, okay?” Oscar assuaged. He was afraid that Olivia’s rage would affect her health.

Sitting in the passenger’s seat, Olivia kept her cool. Then she spoke in a gentle tone, “Oscar, you are a man now. I can’t decide things for you. Speaking from my experience, I honestly feel that Cassie doesn’t suit you. I don’t care if you just want to date her, but she is definitely not good wife material. I doubt that she’s a suitable candidate for one.”

As Oscar drove, his gaze became determined.

“Don’t you worry, Mom. I can balance their relationship wisely. Even if I were to divorce Amelia, I would take care of her and the child.”

“After all this, you still want to divorce her? Oscar, what are you thinking? Don’t tell me that you still can’t tell what kind of person she is after five years of marriage? Not only is she beautiful, but she also respects elders. Why won’t you cherish someone as good as her?”

Oscar remained silent the entire time.

Olivia, on the other hand, was brimmed with anger.

“That’s all I have to say. No matter what, I’ll never acknowledge your marriage with Cassie. I can welcome her as my goddaughter but not as a daughter-in-law. Sorry, but I can’t accept it.”

With his hands on the steering wheel, Oscar turned to glance at Olivia when the car came to a halt in front of the traffic light. “Mom, you used to be fond of Cassie. How can this be?”

“Five years is enough to change many things. Time changes people. You can’t make up for the lost time with effort alone.” Olivia remarked in a cold tone.

Oscar fell into silence, seemingly deep in thought.

“Oscar, Cassie really doesn’t suit you. There is more to her than meets the eye. She isn’t as innocent as she seems.” Olivia added.

“I know.”

She stared at him in surprise. “You know?”

“After seeing those photos previously, I hired someone to investigate her and found some pictures of her private life,” Oscar replied.

“What? You still want to marry her despite knowing that she is a loose woman?” Olivia couldn’t believe what she heard.

“While it’s true that she’s promiscuous, she gave her first time to me. I can’t be irresponsible toward her knowing that she offered me her precious virginity.”

“She gave you her chastity?” Olivia doubted his words. “Oscar, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Back when she was in Erihal, she was very close with a guy named June. They booked a room from the same hotel many times before. What can a man and a woman do there, chit-chatting in bed?”

No words came out of Oscar’s mouth.

“Oscar, with the advanced pharmaceutical technology, the hymen can be easily restored. Are you certain that she gave you her virginity?” Olivia reminded. “You are a brilliant and excellent man, but your taste in women is questionable.”

Oscar smiled bitterly.

“Mom, you used to say Cassie was cute and innocent. Why did you derogate her, making her seem worthless after five years?”

Olivia leaned against the seat and noted, “I’m just stating the facts. I believe you are wise enough to discern if a woman is faking it or truly innocent.”

After that, Oscar drove the car in silence.

Casting him a glance, Olivia said, “Send me to Amelia’s place, I want to see if my daughter-in-law and grandchild are still doing fine. It’s unfortunate that they have an irresponsible husband and father like you.”

Right then, Oscar’s position in Olivia’s heart dropped to the lowest.

“Mom, can you go tomorrow? I need to talk to Amelia.”

Olivia stared at him for a while and nodded in acknowledgment.

After sending his mother back to the Clinton residence, Oscar saw a florist by the roadside. Without hesitation, he pulled his car over and entered the shop. He was holding a bouquet of ninety-nine roses when he got out. Its fiery red color was especially eye-catching.

When Amelia opened the door, she froze for a while at the sight of the bouquet of fiery red roses. She was taken aback the moment she saw the person who was holding the bouquet.

Surprised, she asked, “Mr. Clinton, which admirer of yours gave you that? There are ninety-nine of them. Is she wishing to love you till the day she dies?”

Oscar’s face flushed at her words. He then shoved the bouquet into her arms. “This is for you.”

Amelia was stunned by the happenings. She looked at Oscar in disbelief. “Mr. Clinton, did you get enlightened?”

Oscar was a little frustrated at her response.

“It is normal for a husband to give his wife a gift. Why do you have to look so surprised?”

Amelia let out a burst of laughter and her expression was filled with happiness.

“Although I don’t know what your intention is, I still want to thank you for the bouquet, Mr. Clinton.”

“What intention can a husband harbor when he gives his wife a gift?” Oscar stared at her.

Carrying the bouquet of ninety-nine roses in her arms, Amelia questioned, “By giving me this bouquet, are you implying that you’ll love me till the day you die?”

Oscar cast her a glance without saying a word.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Amelia’s eyes at his reaction.
