Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 Let Us Get A Divorce

Though Amelia felt repulsed, she headed in as well. The moment she pushed the door open and saw a towering figure standing by the side of the bed, her heart skipped a beat. It felt like a lifetime had passed since they last met.

Amelia stood at the door. Suddenly, she was afraid to head in and destroy the beautiful memories they had together.

She stared intently at Oscar’s back. Her gaze was a convoluted mixture of sweetness, sorrow, and anguish.

For the past five years, they started off as indifferent strangers who kept a distance from each other before they confessed their feelings for one another. Throughout the entire journey, she tried hard to keep a lid on her feelings and pretended nothing had fazed her. She did her best to look confident and indestructible, and no one but herself knew how she really felt.

She was the unconfident one in their marriage. Everything Oscar did had affected her emotions easily and made her upset. Back then, she used to gaze at Oscar’s sleeping face and sob silently in bed.

All along, she was treading on thin ice, as there were too many uncertainties. After spending years in fear, they finally grew to love each other, but alas, they were going to separate soon.

Amelia had no idea how long she spent staring at Oscar. When she snapped back to reality, Oscar was already standing before her.

He reached out to caress her cheek, and she immediately averted out of his reach. Oscar’s gaze changed when he saw her reaction.

Without warning, he grabbed Amelia’s hand. Realizing it was icy cold, he put on a grim expression.

Pulling her into his arms, he started rubbing her hands to warm her up. He only released her when her palms were warm enough.

“Amelia, listen to me. Nothing happened between Cassie and me. I had no idea why she was on that bed. Please, I need you to trust me. I love you,” Oscar mumbled as he leaned on Amelia’s shoulder.

Amelia’s eyes reddened instantly.

She shut her eyes to force back her tears.

When her eyes snapped open, determination shone within them. She shoved Oscar’s hand away and turned to look at him. “Oscar, I’ve thought about this the entire night. I think you pity me, and you still love Cassie. Let’s get a divorce as a loveless marriage will only serve to harm both sides, and I’d rather get a divorce. Don’t worry because I won’t want anything. All I want is Tony’s custody,” she said coldly.

At once, an ominous black thundercloud of temper settled over Oscar.

“Come again?”

Amelia looked at him and took a deep breath. Parting her lips, she stated slowly, “Oscar, let’s get a divorce.”

Gloom veiled Oscar’s face. He knew even if he did something wrong, Amelia wouldn’t ask for a divorce easily. Just a few days ago, they were practically stuck to each other like glue. Amelia had declared her love for him and promised not to leave him, ever. He couldn’t believe that someone who claimed to love him would request a divorce.

He absolutely refused to believe it.

He’d rather assume that yesterday’s incident had dealt a huge blow to Amelia, causing her to make a reckless decision.

Inhaling sharply, Oscar softened his voice and said, “Amelia, you’re acting rashly now. Let’s go home and take a rest. We shall talk after you get enough rest. I won’t find excuses, for it was my fault. I’m really sorry. Even a saint gets to make up for his mistake. You can’t sentence me to hell without giving me a chance to atone for my mistake!”

Tears had flooded Amelia’s heart.

If she were healthy, even if Oscar had cheated on her, she’d forgive him no matter how uncomfortable and upset she felt. After all, she loved Oscar deeply. Alas, her eyesight was deteriorating, and she didn’t want Oscar to see her in a pathetic state.

“Oscar, there are too many problems between us. You love Cassie. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have tolerated her. It’s useless to keep our marriage afloat. Let’s get a divorce. I wish you all the best,” she replied.

Oscar forced her to look at him and declared viciously, “Stop saying I love Cassie. I know who I love. I won’t agree to a divorce. You are still emotional, so let’s cool down for a few days before talking about it. I’ll give you a ride home now. You don’t want Mom to worry about us, do you?”

Biting her lip, Amelia insisted firmly, “Oscar, let’s get a divorce.”

Oscar glared at her. “Look at me.”

Amelia hesitated for a long while before lifting her head.

“Look me in the eye and say you want to divorce me,” Oscar urged.

Once their gazes met, Amelia nearly lost herself in his charm.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Amelia, pull yourself together. Don’t show him your true feelings.
