Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 38

A cell phone ringtone broke the ambiguity between them, and it was Cassie’s cell phone ringing.

Cassie picked up the phone and took a look. Her face darkened.

“Who is it?” Oscar asked.

Panic flashed in Cassie’s eyes, and her hand holding the phone was tight. Oscar pressed harder and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the call?”

Cassie took a breath and reluctantly found an excuse. “It’s a call from the team leader. I’m afraid he’s calling me to go back to practice piano. What should I do? I don’t want to leave your side.”

“Just hang up if you don’t want to answer the call,” Oscar said, his voice soft.

Cassie got up and apologized, “Oz, I’d better answer it. I’m afraid it’s urgent.”

Oscar nodded.

Cassie ran into the bathroom and came out after talking on the phone for five minutes.

She looked at Oscar and was a little hesitant to speak.

“What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”

“The team leader wants me to go back now, saying that I need to be informed about some matters regarding the recital. But Oz, I don’t want to part with you so soon.”

Oscar stood up and stated, “Since it’s work, let’s go. I’ll send you there.”

“Okay,” Cassie replied with a smile.

When they were going downstairs, Oscar unexpectedly received a call from Olivia, who asked him to return home.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Cassie asked, “Oz, what’s the matter?”

“My mom wants me to go back. Can you drive there by yourself?”

“Mrs. Clinton is looking for you? Well, you should go.”

Oscar nodded, kissed her on the cheek adoringly, and whispered, “I’ll go back first then. Be careful on the way. Call me when you get there.”

Cassie nodded obediently and was genuinely relieved when Oscar drove away.

She took out her phone and returned the call just now. As soon as the call went through, she questioned in a rude voice, “June, what are you doing in Chanaea?”

“I missed you. We agreed to work hard together in Erihal. Why did you go back to have a recital by yourself? Oh well, do what you want. I won’t interfere with your future. Anyway, I missed you, Baby. I’m waiting for you at the Evergreen Hotel. Come, or I’ll go directly to Oscar. He must be interested in the matter between us.”

“How dare you!”

“It depends on your performance, Baby. I will give you an hour. If you’re not gonna come, I have several videos of us in my hands. What do you think that man will do if he sees it?”

Cassie’s pretty face was a little distorted. “Are you threatening me?”

“Baby, how can I bear to threaten you? I just miss you too much. You didn’t leave me a message when you went back to Chanaea and I didn’t blame for you that. Aren’t you touched that I’ve flown all the way here to find you?”

Cassie tried hard to hold her temper.

“Baby, five minutes have passed. If you don’t arrive in fifty-five minutes, I will send the video to that man.”

“Wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”

Cassie hung up the phone.

Arriving at Evergreen Hotel, Cassie took the elevator to the fifteenth floor. She knocked on the door and was pulled in with brutal force instantly when the door opened as a tall figure then pushed her against the wall. He started kissing her lips, but she raised her hand and slapped him in the face.

“June, have some respect, please. You are in the territory of the Yard family. If you frustrate me, I will have my way to ban you, as a foreigner, from coming back to Chanaea.” Cassie stared at him viciously, showing no trace of weakness.

June was a tall foreigner who had the chiseled features of a male model.

“Baby, I haven’t seen you in a few days. You look more attractive than before, like an angel. What should I do? I think I fell in love with you all over again.” June didn’t even take Cassie’s threat to heart. He was still carefree as always.

Cassie pushed him away and said, “June, we’ve already broken up. Go back to where you came from. You’re not welcomed here.”

“Baby, who said anything about breaking up? We’ve been together for four years. I’ve helped you so much in your studies and spent so much money on you. You can’t just break up with me like that. It’s so unfair to me.”

“June, I’ve paid you with my body. Isn’t it reasonable for you to spend money on me? It’s a fair deal between us, so you lose nothing.”
