Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261 Affection

Oscar gazed at the blushing Amelia and said in a tone laced with dominance, “Since you’re so enthusiastic, Honey, how can I say not to that? We’ll go tomorrow.”

She buried herself into his chest and hid the immense sadness in her eyes by morphing her expression into one of anticipation and shyness.

“Let’s go on our own, Oscar, with no bodyguards following us in secret. I don’t wish for prying eyes during our intimate moments. I don’t like that. Is that okay?” Amelia lifted her head and gazed at him with eyes glimmering expectantly.

Although Oscar thought that this was an unusual request from her, he did not think much of it, assuming that she merely wanted a different experience. Besides, he enjoyed her enthusiasm and her willingness to accept him without reservation.

“You don’t like having people around?” Oscar asked as he brushed her nose lovingly.

Amelia nodded.

“I love being alone with you. Only then will I feel that you’re truly mine. I’m afraid that others might take you away when they’re around.” She deliberately made a pretentious excuse.

Oscar was overjoyed by her words. From his perspective, he felt that the more possessive she was toward him, the more it showed how much she valued him.

“As you wish. I never knew that my wife is a jealous woman,” he teased her.

Amelia arched her eyebrow and replied in a seductive tone, “What’s the matter? You don’t like it? Even if you don’t, there’s nothing you can do about it since you’ve already signed the papers. I am a jealous woman indeed, so live with it.”

In response, Oscar pulled her into his embrace and placed the laptop on the other side. He then flipped them over and pinned her under his body.

His voice sounded deep and sultry as he ran his fingers through her hair.

“I adore your jealousy, Honey, and love your body as well. What should I do? I wish to enjoy the feeling that I missed. Will you give it to me?”

Amelia wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled subtly. “Are you that desperate, Mr. Clinton?”

He leaned forward to kiss her lips, leaving no room for a second thought.

The two shared an intense, passionate session and were completely exhausted when they finally separated.

Oscar carried Amelia into the bathroom for a warm shower before placing her back onto the bed as though she was a precious treasure.

He leaned over to kiss her forehead. “Get some sleep,” he said with a smile.

“Stay with me.”

Oscar got in from the other side of the bed, and she instinctively curled up into a comfortable position in his arms.

While the two were engaging in small talk, Amelia paused mid-sentence to cover his eyes with her hand. “This time I wish to watch you sleep, Oscar.”

Oscar’s smile turned into a chuckle.

She could not help but smile as well. “Go to sleep, Oscar. Let me fall asleep to the sound of your heartbeat. I love to look at your sleeping face. You’re so handsome, just like a male protagonist who is deeply in love with the heroine in a drama.”

Oscar placed her hand down but did not chastise her for watching those foolish dramas. Instead, he went along with it.

“You really like the male protagonist?”

“Yes. Even though he and the female lead had met with many trials and tribulations, they would always get back together in the end,” Amelia said, sounding rather envious.

I don’t wish for us to experience this someday. However, I know that as soon as I ask for a divorce, the chances of us getting back together again is almost zero.

Oscar stroked her hair lovingly as he replied, “Silly girl. You are so good at spewing nonsense. Those scenes in drama are all fake. The male and female leads are just acting according to the script. How can his passion be compared to mine?”

Amelia giggled happily upon hearing that.

“Marrying you is the best thing that has ever happened to me,” she said in a very sincere tone.

“You must remember not to let go of my hand in this lifetime,” he reminded.

However, little did he know that she would let go of his hand not long after, catching him completely off guard.

The two talked for another half an hour before Oscar finally fell asleep.

“Oscar, Oscar…” Amelia called out several times. After making sure that he was truly asleep, she took his phone and typed out a message: I miss you, Cassie. I’ll wait for you in Room 2018 at Hotel Van Hutton tomorrow.

After she was done typing, she immediately sent the message.

Cassie’s call came not long after. Amelia declined the call and typed another message: “It’s very late. Don’t call me now. Be there at nine in the evening tomorrow. I’ve prepared a big surprise for you.”

She sent it as soon as she finished typing.

Cassie did not call again but sent many messages with explicit contents. Amelia merely looked at the first few before deleting all of them.

After making sure that the other woman would not send any more messages, she placed the phone on the table. Then, she kissed Oscar’s lips gently and mumbled reluctantly, “I’m very selfish, Oscar. I only wish for you to remember me at my best. I don’t want you to see the ugly side of me. Forgive me for doing this. I truly love you and because of that, I want a more outstanding and perfect woman to be with you. I’m sorry for using your trust to do something this low. Please forgive me. If it is ever possible, I’m more than willing to grow old with you.”

Tears started to roll down Amelia’s cheeks while she said that.

She loved Oscar deeply and that intense love made her a coward who couldn’t move forward.

“Oscar, even if you marry someone else in the future and have children of your own, I wish for you to not forget about me and Tony. I’m a selfish person and I don’t want us to become total strangers after the divorce,” she added, choking up.

After saying those affectionate words, she stood up and left the bedroom, heading toward the nursery.
