Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Do You Want To Divorce Me That Badly

Damn… Cassie sure is a lot more honest and bolder than I am; I’ll give her that. At least she has the courage to pursue the love that she wants. Heck, she shamelessly came all the way here even though Oscar no longer loves her! While it probably isn’t the right thing to do, her persistence is indeed admirable. Unfortunately for me, her level of shamelessness is something that I lack. Had I been a little more shameless and a little less egotistical, Oscar and I would still be happily together right now… Amelia thought to herself as she watched the drama from the balcony.

She returned to the nursery when nobody was looking and played with Tony absent-mindedly while Kurt watched from the side.

Noticing that he was about to voice his thoughts, Amelia looked up at him and said, “I know what you want to tell me, Kurt, but could you please not say a word? I want to be left alone right now.”

Kurt nodded and held his tongue obediently.

“Thank you, Kurt!” she added gratefully.

Kurt felt his heart ache but simply shook his head in response.

Amelia is completely different from all the other women from wealthy families. She dresses fashionably but not extravagantly; she looks sexy but isn’t promiscuous; she has a kind heart despite having all this money and power, and she’s friendly even though she gives off an air of superiority… It’s almost impossible for a guy to spend so much time around her without falling in love with her! Most would assume she’s an unfaithful woman at first glance, but those who know her personally will see that she’s both adorable and sexy. It is precisely because she has so many interesting sides to her that men find themselves attracted to her!

With that in mind, Kurt decided to ignore his feelings and said fairly, “Boss is a good and loving man. He spent tons of money just to help you find a suitable cornea donor. There is really no need for you to divorce him.”

Amelia let out a wry chuckle and asked softly, “You know about it?”

“Tiffany told me.”

Amelia shot him a glance as she asked, “You think what I’m doing is really stupid too, don’t you? Most people will never give up on the wealth and luxury provided by the Clinton family, and yet here I am doing the complete opposite like an idiot.”

Kurt shook his head and replied fairly, “You must have your reasons for doing this.”

Amelia had conflicted feelings in her heart as she continued playing with Tony on the bed. It hurts me the most to set Oscar up like that. Given his resources, it’s highly possible for him to eventually find out that I’m the one behind all this. I bet he’ll hate me to death then.

“Kurt, are you going to tell Oscar that I set him up?” she asked in a seemingly casual manner.

“I answer only to you. Don’t worry, I’ve already destroyed all evidence from last night. Tiffany and the two of us are the only ones who will know about this. Boss won’t be able to find anything even if he tries to. You can trust me on that!” Kurt replied, expressing his loyalty to her.

Amelia chuckled upon hearing that and said ambiguously, “Out of all the people I’ve met, you’re the most difficult one to read, Kurt. You’ve been working for Oscar for so many years, and yet you switched sides and swore absolute loyalty to me right after he tasked you with protecting me? What happens if I have you return to Oscar later on? Are you going to tell him about everything I’ve done?”

“No,” Kurt replied with a frown.

Amelia shrugged with a hint of sadness in her eyes. “I don’t understand the rules that you bodyguards go by, but I do trust you to keep our secret safe. You’re the kind of guy who makes people feel safe around you.”

A faint glint appeared in Kurt’s eyes when he heard that.

Amelia glanced at Tony, who was lying on the bed, as she continued, “Kurt, I have a selfish request to make. If I am unable to gain custody over Tony after divorcing Oscar, I want you to look after him for me.”

“Boss is a very righteous man. He loves you very much; I’m sure he won’t make things difficult for you,” Kurt said confidently.

Amelia, on the other hand, wasn’t all that confident about it.

Oh, I sure hope so… Tony is the first grandson of the Clinton family. Even if Oscar agreed to let me have custody over him, Olivia and Owen probably wouldn’t. Given their resources, there’s no way I could possibly win against them. If they really decide to fight for Tony’s custody, then I’m bound to lose that battle.

“Ma’am… I mean, Amelia, hear me out here. I think it’s best if you remain in the Clinton family. Should you actually go blind, it’d be a lot easier for them to find you a suitable cornea donor with their power and resources. It would also benefit you greatly during your recovery,” Kurt stated his opinion after a brief moment of hesitation.

Amelia let out a wry chuckle in response.

“Please, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just voicing my analysis from a realistic point of view. I’ll stop if you don’t like to hear it.”

Amelia shook her head.

“Of course, I’ll help you out with anything you need.”

“All you have to do is take good care of Tony for me. I don’t want you getting involved in my personal affairs with the Clintons. I’ll try my best to gain custody over Tony, no matter how slim my chances are,” Amelia replied as she got up from the bed, only to have her vision go black all of a sudden.

She tried shaking her head profusely, but nothing happened.

Kurt instinctively tried to hold her steady but stopped himself before his hand reached her.

“What’s wrong?” he asked worriedly.

“Nothing, I just lost my vision all of a sudden. As you can see, I’m going to be blind soon. Do you really think a blind woman like me is worthy of being Oscar’s wife?”

Kurt fell silent as he knew just how strict wealthy families were.

They would definitely not approve of Oscar having a blind woman for a wife!

Amelia felt her way back toward the bed and sat down. “Kurt, I hope you won’t tell Oscar that I’m going blind. All I want right now is a peaceful divorce and custody over Tony; nothing more.”

Kurt was about to say something when a knock was heard on the door.
