Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 Loving Women Without Self-Love

Since Oscar acted humbly, everyone had a good time during the meal and talked freely. Some even downed a few glasses of alcohol and became so drunk that they began calling Oscar by his first name as though they were close friends.

Seeing that, Amelia instinctively stole a glance at Oscar, worried he might get angry because of their actions. To her surprise, he held her hand underneath the table to reassure her he was fine.

After getting familiar with everyone, finding out Shane and Amelia were university friends, and knowing Shane was a man with a family, Oscar finally got cozy with them.

“Mr. Franklin, please take good care of my wife in the future. If there’s any project that requires Clinton Corporations’ collaboration, I’ll consider yours first,” Oscar promised.

Shane could already imagine a shower of money notes raining down on him.

He grinned. “Mr. Clinton, those words of yours sound better than those celebrity singers’ songs. Please do consider our company often. Looks like making friends in university is useful after all.”

His words caused Oscar to stare at him.

Seeing his reaction, Shane touched his face and said mischievously, “Am I being too aggressive? Perhaps I should rephrase my sentence. Amelia, I’m really thankful for getting to know you back in university. I say, I really do have good judgmental skills. I knew you weren’t an ordinary person, and it looks like I was right.”

His words were getting too outrageous.

Nonetheless, Amelia merely stared at him in amusement, totally not bothered by his words. “Mr. Franklin, stop messing around. Otherwise, Oscar is going to think you’re using me. Then, he’ll cancel all the collaborations with our company. You won’t have the time to mourn when that happens.”

Shane immediately made a zipping motion near his mouth, which made Amelia chuckle. He’s still as cheeky after so many years.

After the meal, the crowd went for karaoke. When Amelia got into the car, she gave Kurt a call to check in on Tony. Realizing Tony had not thrown a temper because of her eating out, Amelia let out a sigh of relief.

“Kurt, please take good care of him. He always listens to you,” Amelia said.

“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to Tony when I’m around,” Kurt assured.

After exchanging a few sentences, she ended the call.

“Are you relieved now?” Oscar asked.

Amelia nodded in response.

As Oscar drove, he could not help but comment, “Looks like Kurt is more capable than the actual father.”

Amelia looked at him, chuckling. “Are you jealous?”

“A little.”

Amelia immediately burst out laughing before she teased, “Oscar, did anyone tell you that you’re actually quite cute?”

“Those who said I’m cute have either lost their jobs or are in the process of losing them. But if you’re the one who said it, then it’s a form of compliment,” Oscar said with a serious expression.

Amelia grinned, feeling in a good mood after their banter.

Shortly after, both of them arrived at the city’s largest karaoke bar. As they entered the private room, the crowd urged them to sing a love song. Hence, they had no choice but to satisfy their request.

As soon as Oscar started singing, everyone’s gaze was drawn toward him.

He had a deep and mellow voice, which made his singing amazing, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
