Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431 Recognized At The Interview

After helping Isabella to the sofa, Olivia remarked, “Isabella, as you are the Clinton family’s future daughter-in-law, you have to take good care of yourself.” After that, she glared at Oscar and declared, “I know how badly Oscar treated you yesterday. Hence, I’m getting him to apologize to you. Given that you’re engaged, it’s better to make up as early as possible.”

Isabella played along. “Mrs. Clinton, I don’t blame Oscar, as I was the one who got on his nerves, causing him to throw me onto the ground. Now that I’ve admitted my role in the matter, I hope you won’t blame Oscar for it.”

Olivia patted the back of Isabella’s hand and praised, “You’re such a sensible child!” She then turned to Oscar and asserted, “Oscar, apologize to Isabella now. As a man, you should be brave enough to admit your mistakes instead of being wishy-washy like a lady.”

When Oscar shot Isabella an icy glare, she felt a chill down her spine. Tugging at Olivia, she protested, “Mrs. Clinton, please don’t say that.”

Olivia gave her a reassuring look before adding, “Oscar, if you are a man, apologize to Isabella.”

Suddenly, Amelia stepped in front of Oscar with a faint smile on her face. “Mrs. Clinton, if you’re talking about what happened yesterday, I was there too. I recall Oscar being trained in martial arts before. As a martial artist, he is sensitive to being attacked from behind. Unfortunately, Ms. Walker wasn’t aware of that when she hugged him, causing Oscar to shoulder throw her by reflex. Given that Oscar had acted on impulse, I would like to apologize to Ms. Walker on his behalf.”

Isabella’s face drastically changed.

After giving her the side-eye, Olivia replied frostily, “Amelia, since when have you become so brazen to make decisions for my son?”

Amelia simply smiled.

However, Olivia found her smile to be especially jarring. She felt nauseated by the fact that Amelia seemed to be wearing a mask.

She sprang up from the sofa and snapped, “Amelia, this is a family affair, can you leave us first?”

Oscar pulled Amelia behind him to shield her. “Dad, Mom, I still have a meeting at ten thirty, and I’m hungry now. Hence, can I have my breakfast first?”

Having heard his request, Olivia had no choice but to suppress her rage.

After Oscar led Amelia to another sofa, he gleefully opened the lunch box she brought as if they were alone in the room. Inside the box, there was an array of delicious snacks.

In front of the other three, Oscar praised the food on purpose, “All of them look delicious! I’m so tempted to finish everything in one bite.”

Amelia handed him a fork and affirmed, “In that case, you should have more.”

With the fork in hand, Oscar began to wolf down the food.

Meanwhile, Isabella, who was filled with jealousy, bit her lip so hard that she didn’t realize it had become bruised.

Olivia tugged at Owen and suggested, “Owen, let’s go now. Our son is big enough and doesn’t listen to us. Staying here any longer will just cause us to burst a vessel.”

After the three of them left, Amelia closed the door behind them. The smile on her face gradually faded as her mood turned grim.

She knew that Olivia’s resentment for her had deepened.

Putting down his fork, Oscar clasped his fingers with Amelia’s. “What are you thinking about?”

Regaining her senses, she forced a smile at Oscar and shook her head. “Nothing really, I was just thinking about the past.”

Cognizant of what was going through her mind, Oscar comforted her, “Don’t overthink it. Just give my parents some more time. I’m sure they will forgive you.”

Picking up the fork, Amelia fed Oscar some food. “I feel as if there’s a knot in my heart. Prior to this, Mom loved me to bits. But after two years, everything has changed. Now, she simply sees me as a despicable person.”

“You foolish gal!” Oscar tousled her hair affectionately before changing the topic. “Didn’t you say you were going for an interview? Have you decided to go back to work?”

“I have an appointment with an advertising firm at eleven.” As Amelia continued to feed Oscar, she added, “After being bored of doing nothing for the last few years, I hope to get myself out there again. You won’t object, will you?”

Looking longingly at her, Oscar swallowed the food he was chewing. “How am I to object when you have already gone ahead with it? To be honest, if you really want to work, you can do so here at Clinton Corporations. As my special assistant, we will be working together all the time.”

Cupping her chin, Amelia tried to hold back her smile. “If I work here, your mom will be upset. Moreover, I’ll prevent other ladies from flirting with you while others will gossip about us. So do you think it’s even feasible?”

After scratching her nose, Oscar didn’t insist.

“If you’re unhappy at work, you can always come back. Since you enjoy designing, I can get the company to set up a design studio for you that focuses on advertising designs. What do you think?” Oscar proposed.
