Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380 Consumed By Jealousy

After glancing at Amelia, Tony returned his gaze to Oscar. “Since Mommy has taught me to be polite, I won’t call you Big Meanie anymore. Instead, I’ll just call you a monster.”

Just as he spoke, everyone burst into laughter. Even Amelia and Oscar, who were perplexed over the situation, didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

After running back to Amelia’s side, Tony looked at Oscar warily.

Having watched the entire episode, Derrick couldn’t help but laugh. He then teased, “Mr. Clinton, it’s really rare to see you being embarrassed.”

When Oscar shot him a glare, Derrick shrugged before commenting, “Mr. Clinton, I’m sure you didn’t come here just to be scorned by Tony.”

Derrick was just reminding Oscar of the true purpose of his visit.

Returning to his seat, Oscar pulled Amelia into his arms and explained, “Amelia, I have found a donor with a compatible cornea for you. So, you should start packing, as we will be traveling to Anglandur tomorrow where James has already prepared everything. Once the operation is completed, you’ll be able to see again.”

Fingers twitching, Amelia was visibly struck by emotion.

Even though Tiffany was told of the news a few days ago, she still ran up to Oscar and reconfirmed excitedly, “Oscar, is it really true that you found a donor for Amelia?”

Glancing at her, Oscar replied in a serious tone, “There’s no way I would fool around with something like that.”

Giving Oscar a thumbs-up, she praised, “Mr. Clinton, despite not seeing you for the last two years, your methods are as sharp and decisive as ever.”

Only then did Oscar glance at Tiffany and remark thoughtfully, “I could say the same for how feisty you are. If I were to attack you, I’m sure you would be able to fend me off easily.”

Laughing wryly, Tiffany conceded, “Mr. Clinton, it was nothing but a misunderstanding.”

Feeling sidelined by their ongoing banter, Amelia Hutton stepped forward and interrupted, “Oscar, can I call you that?”

From Oscar’s perspective, Amelia Hutton’s attempted familiarity felt presumptuous to him.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t bring himself to be angry at someone who looked like Amelia Winters. Hence, he lowered his gaze and asked, “Amelia, who is this?”

In response, Amelia discreetly tightened her grip on the sofa. Deep down, she could feel a sense of anxiety eating away at her. After all, Oscar fell for her precisely because she resembled Cassie in both looks and disposition. Now that everyone mentioned Amelia Hutton looked like her, she was worried that Oscar might channel his feelings toward Amelia Hutton instead.

Holding that thought, Amelia Winters laughed wryly to herself. Given that she and Oscar were divorced, she had no right to stop Oscar from loving someone else.

As Oscar held her hand and threaded his fingers with hers, Amelia struggled momentarily but didn’t retract it for her own selfish reasons.

“Is she your biological sister? Given how we rushed through our marriage, I never had the opportunity to meet the rest of your family. To be honest, I should have done better over the years as your husband,” Oscar commented.

“She’s not my biological sister, just my godsister.”

“I’m her sister.”

Amelia Winters and Amelia Hutton replied at the same time.

When Oscar scrutinized Amelia Hutton, her heart couldn’t resist fluttering at the attention. Just when she subconsciously wanted to put on a demure front, she realized that overdoing it would only make her look weird.

“Oscar, what I meant was we acknowledged each other as sisters due to our resemblance. All this while, I thought Kurt was my ‘brother-in-law,’ but I didn’t expect it to be you. Therefore, I would like to welcome you as my ‘brother-in-law,” Amelia Hutton clarified.

After giving her another look, Oscar replied, “Both of you look like each other indeed. Nevertheless, Amelia is prettier than you and looks more dignified too.”

Despite being briefly stung by his words, Amelia Hutton quickly regained her composure.

“That’s what my mom said. But Oscar, you have hurt my feelings for ridiculing me. So don’t blame me for bad-mouthing you to Amy,” she retorted mischievously.

“Is that so? Looks like a lot has happened during the two years I wasn’t by Amelia’s side,” Oscar remarked indifferently.

After a brief pause, Oscar added, “Since Amelia has acknowledged you as her godsister, you are by default my godsister too. Usually, I’m not too friendly with the ladies, so you will have to forgive me for that. Nevertheless, if there’s anything you need, feel free to let me know, and I’ll help you deal with it.”
