Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Resolving A Misunderstanding

“Oz, I didn’t think that you’d learn to lie just to please a woman who gave birth to your son. You weren’t like this before. I was happy when you spoke sweetly to me just now. But forget it, since you don’t want to hurt her for now, I’ll leave first. But the next time you call me to come here, can you not call her too?” Cassie said as she gave Oscar a disappointed look before leaving.

Yet, even after she left, Amelia still did not move from Oscar’s embrace.

Genuinely afraid that she would overthink, he quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. There’s really nothing between the two of us.”

However, she still remained silent for a long time.

Thus, he panicked. He was not afraid of getting into a fight with her but was afraid that she would be silent like she was then. Such a response was worse than if she showed her anger. After all, being angry showed that she still subconsciously wanted to be coaxed. However, silence meant she was giving him the cold shoulder.

Unable to stand the silence, he would rather she question him about what was going on.

He then wanted to reach out to lift her chin but did not expect that she would avoid his touch. Fortunately, she broke the silence then. “Let me lean on you for a while.”

However, her words made him feel heartbroken.

“It’s not what you think between Cassie and me. Really, I can explain,” he said gently.

“Carter and I are also not like what you saw in the photos. Your sister purposely did it. She stole my phone and sent flirtatious messages to him. He believed it and thought that you and I were only getting along on the surface. That’s why he rushed to the house and said he wanted me to divorce you, then inappropriately hugged me. Your sister took that photo then,” she explained muffledly.

Just then, Oscar’s gaze changed a little, which made him look oppressive as a result.

He took a deep breath and raised his hand to stroke her back, then whispered, “Didn’t I ask you to stay away from him? Why are you so disobedient and keep doing things that make me worried and angry?”

She looked at him, then slapped his hand away in anger. After breaking free from the embrace, she said, “You blame me, but you did it too, Mr. Clinton. You were acting all lovey-dovey with your former lover here. If I didn’t see that Ms. Yard was here when I was downstairs and hurried after her, what else would you two have done in the office?”

Since they had expressed their thoughts to each other, Amelia could finally say things that she wouldn’t have dared to before. Moreover, it was evident that they had grown closer to each other then.

Seeing her acting so threateningly, Oscar instead laughed as his mood improved all of a sudden.

As a result, her mood became even more complicated. She glanced at him uneasily and asked, “Are you that happy to have so many women by your side?”

In response, he reached out and domineeringly pulled her into his arms, then tenderly kissed her hair. “Oh my silly girl, you are so silly to the point that I just can’t let you go.”

However, she was still a little angry. She pushed against his chest and said, “Anyway, I’m not as kind, considerate, and cute as Cassie. You can go after her. She has even carried your child before and took her own life for you. Also, you were even willing to tell her about the thing between me and Carter, which shows how important she is to you. Otherwise, why would she kiss you? If you still love her, that’s fine; we’ll get a divorce. Anyway, even if that happens, Tony and I can still live a good life.”

She was so angry that she was about to lose her mind. Resultantly, she rambled on and did not know what she was saying anymore.

Oscar’s face completely fell as he looked at her wordlessly. Then, he suddenly gave off an imposing air.

As he continued to watch her, Amelia soon became a little timid. She subconsciously licked her lips as her previous agitation slowly cooled down.

“Are you planning to marry someone again after you divorce me?” he asked coldly.

She opened her mouth to respond but could not find the words for a while. Thus, she only shook her head in fright.

He then strode forward and grabbed her chin to force her to raise her head. Their eyes met before he said, “Woman, are you planning to marry another man after we get a divorce?”

While she looked into his eyes, her eyes instead slowly reddened.

It was as if her repressed grievances had suddenly found an exit and could finally gush out then.

As she cried, she pounded on his chest. “When did I say I wanted a divorce? You’re the one that doesn’t want Tony and me. I just got into a car accident and almost died with him. I almost died on the operation table! I haven’t even recovered yet, but you’re here doing dirty things with your lover in your office. Didn’t you say you were in a meeting? Why did I see you kissing someone else then? Who is the one who wants to marry someone else? If you want to do that, there’s no need to pull so many tricks and make your sister carefully plot out the mess between Carter and me. We are just friends, but I don’t even know how to face him in the future anymore. No one in the Clinton family is kind. You say you’d treat me well but look at the reality. You’re here questioning me, but why isn’t there anyone who cares about me?”

He merely watched her as she cried. When the tears and snot caused her makeup to be ruined, he smiled helplessly, then reached out to pull her into his arms. However, she avoided him again.

He shook his head helplessly, then forcefully embraced her again. Ignoring her struggles, he said in a helpless yet pampering tone, “Silly girl. What should I do with you? I’ve done so much, but do you still not understand my feelings? I only looked at your photos with Carter and deleted them soon after. I also thought that even if you cheated on me, I would forgive you. The thing with Cassie’s really a misunderstanding. I didn’t ask her to come.”
