Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 No Longer Hiding Her Affection

After bidding Jerry farewell, Amelia sat alone in her car. Watching the flow of cars and pedestrians through the window, she was filled with mixed emotions.

The more she heard about Oscar’s condition during the two years from different sources, the more intense her love for him became.

When a thought struck her, Amelia decided to drive to the ground floor of Clinton Corporations. Checking her watch, she realized it was already five-forty. There were twenty more minutes to go before six.

Hence, she gave Oscar a call which he quickly answered. “Oscar, are you busy now?”

“I’m just tying up some loose ends. What is it? Are you missing me already?” Oscar’s affectionate voice rang out from the phone.

“Yes, I am. I’m missing you more than you can imagine,” Amelia answered candidly.

She was then greeted by a long silence.

Glancing at her screen, she thought something had happened to Oscar. She checked anxiously, “Oscar? Oscar?”

“Where are you now?”

“I’m right outside your office. I was hoping that you can accompany me to go grocery shopping since we haven’t done so in a while. Suddenly, I have the urge to show off my perfect husband to the world,” Amelia lavished him with praise.

In response to her words, Oscar felt as if his heart was about to melt. At the same time, she could hear a gentle grunt over the phone.

“Wait for me. I’m coming down right now.”

“Sure, I’ll be here.”

After ending the call, Amelia broke into a smile.

As for Oscar, he quickly packed his things and dashed out of his office like the wind.

When Linda and the other secretaries saw what a rush Oscar was in, they exchanged glances. One of them leaned toward Linda and asked, “Linda, what’s going on? Why is Mr. Clinton in such a rush? Did something happen at home?”

Linda gave her the side-eye. “We’re not supposed to stick our nose into the boss’ affairs. We should focus on our work instead.”

Even though the secretary was still curious, she didn’t dare gossip anymore.

Oscar took the elevator alone to the ground floor. Just when he exited it, a figure coincidentally walked out of another elevator.

“Oscar.” It was none other than Isabella.

Feeling as if she was haunting him like a vengeful spirit, Oscar felt the urge to scream.

As he quickened his footsteps, Isabella followed behind him. The moment they left the building, Isabella saw Amelia waiting in the car from the corner of her eye. In the heat of the moment, she picked up her pace and hugged Oscar from behind.

“Oscar, I really love you,” Isabella declared.

Meanwhile, the staff who were passing by turned their heads when they saw what happened. Amelia too had noticed the same.

“Oscar, don’t be so cold to me. After all, we are about to get engaged,” Isabella lamented in a voice audible enough for all the bystanders to hear. Just when everyone was waiting with anticipation for Oscar’s response, he grabbed her hand at lightning speed and threw her over his shoulder in public.

Everyone who was watching gasped in shock. No one had expected Oscar to publicly humiliate someone as pretty as Isabella.

Even Isabella could barely recover from the shock.

Looking down at Isabella who had been thrown onto the floor, Oscar warned, “Stop trying to get close to me. Or else, it won’t just be a simple shoulder throw the next time.”
