Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479 Luck With The Ladies

After work, Oscar saw a black figure running toward him at blazing speed. He instinctively sprang into a defensive position and evaded the figure’s embrace. He wanted to return with a kick but stopped upon hearing her voice. “Oscar.”

Oscar frowned as a flash of frustration and coldness appeared in his eyes.

“Cassie, enough!” Oscar reprimanded her.

Cassie, on the other hand, was enraptured as she inched closer to Oscar. She could not contain her excitement. At the thought of something, she shyly played with her hair and asked, “Oz, you’re getting off work?”

Oscar was obviously impatient and vexed. “Cassie, I don’t have time for games. Look for someone else to entertain you if you’re bored. Stop showing up in front of me.”

Oscar turned around and walked away. He did not want to spend even an additional second being around Cassie.

Cassie ran toward Oscar’s front and blocked him in his path. Her hands were trembling out of nervousness as she was looking at Oscar at a close distance. Immediately, her face blushed.

It had been a year and a half since they last met. However, the moment she caught sight of Oscar, it was clear to her that her feelings toward him had never changed.

Cassie swallowed a lump in her throat and said in an anxious tone, “Oscar, I missed you so much. I apologize for all those arguments that we had last time. Is it true that you sent me back to the hotel last night after I was drunk? I owe you big time. I know that you still love me, right? I want to treat you to a meal as my token of appreciation for what you did for me last night.”

“How childish,” Oscar replied curtly.

He moved aside in order to walk past her. However, Cassie followed him closely behind, refusing to leave him alone.

Oscar opened the car door, and Cassie immediately dashed into the passenger seat. Then she shamelessly put on the seatbelt.

Oscar got in the driver’s seat and said, “Get out.”

Cassie, however, refused to budge, and she was adamant about staying.

Oscar was irritated by Cassie’s stubbornness. Before he could get out of the car, Cassie said, “Oscar, if you leave, I’ll wait for you at your company every day. Since I’m no longer playing the violin or managing the company, I have ample time.”

Oscar hesitated. He glanced at Cassie coldly and said, “What are you trying to do? Speak your mind.”

Cassie merely looked at Oscar in an infatuated manner. Although he was clearly annoyed, she was still attracted by his good looks.

“Oscar, it’s been a long time since we’ve last met. You’re still handsome as ever! I really regret leaving you at the altar seven years ago. I must be crazy! If not, I wouldn’t have left you!” Cassie harked back to those days. “Oscar, my happiest memories are with you. For the past two years, I’ve been suffering at the thought of losing you. I dreamed about you so many times, but I have to force myself to forget about you, and it was unsuccessful. I’ve been drinking a lot to numb myself. If you didn’t send me back to the hotel last night, I wouldn’t have had the courage to find you. After last night, I realize that I cannot move on from you.”

“Are you done?”

Cassie was not affected by Oscar’s aloof reaction. She muttered, “Oscar, I want to treat you to a meal. Would you accept my invitation?”

Oscar looked at her glacially. “Cassie, don’t make me hate you even more.”

Cassie stilled for a moment before she broke into a smile.

“Oscar, for the past two years I’ve picked up the habit of drinking and partying at nightclubs. If you don’t like it, I will stop. I know I’ve slept with a lot of random men, but I will change. Just give me a chance.”

“I have no interest in knowing anything about you. However, I do need a favor from you.” Cassie’s eyes were full of hope. “Please get out of my car.”

Cassie’s face fell.

“If you have a meal with me, I promise I’ll leave,” Cassie swore.
