Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 3

Stephanie shrugged and said, “Mom, I’m going out for a while. Someone here’s stinking the air up.”

With that, she walked out without a care in the world.

Olivia sighed. “Don’t mind her, Amelia. We’ve spoiled her too much.”

Smiling, Amelia replied, “She’s only in her mid-twenties, an age where she’s just playful. It’s expected that she’ll blurt out the thoughts on her mind.”

Olivia patted her hand, her affection for Amelia increasing. “Amelia, you’re a good girl. Don’t mind Stephanie’s words, okay? As for Cassie, just pretend that she doesn’t exist.”

Amelia was not foolish enough to ask who Cassie was.

“Mom, we’re a family. I won’t take her words to heart,” replied Amelia, not bothered by it at all. However, she knew that they would not remain as a family for long.

“I’ve always known that you’re a good girl.” Olivia liked her even more now.

Amelia chatted with Olivia for the entire afternoon. After lunch, Olivia felt tired and took a nap. Meanwhile, Amelia took a stroll outside while Stephanie trailed behind her.

“Amelia, don’t think that you can be the Clintons’ daughter-in-law forever just because my mom likes you. My brother still loves Cassie deeply. You should just give up,” mocked Stephanie.

Amelia gazed at her politely and smiled. “Steph, I don’t know who Cassie is, but you shouldn’t forget that I’m your brother’s wife. As long as we’re not divorced, I’m still your sister-in-law. So please show some respect, will you?”

Stephanie cast a mocking glance at her. “Sister-in-law? I’m sure you’ll no longer be my sister-in-law soon. Only my mom is kind enough to treat you, a woman who has nothing under her name, as her daughter-in-law.”

After a slight pause, she continued, “Stop pretending to be Cinderella and dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family. Just get a divorce with my brother as soon as possible. Perhaps you could still earn yourself a considerable sum of compensation instead of leaving with nothing in the end.”

Amelia smiled even more sweetly.

“Thanks for your reminder. I was going to divorce your brother, but I’ve changed my mind now.” With that, Amelia spun around and walked back.
