Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 546

Chapter 546 She Is My Queen Tonight

After cuddling for about an hour, Amelia finally released herself from Oscar’s embrace and said, “Oscar, you may go and pick up Tony. I’m fine now. Can you accompany me to the Clinton residence tomorrow? I want to apologize to Mom. As an ex-daughter-in-law, I’m afraid I must have given her a headache.”

Oscar helped her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear as he replied in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry about it. Just leave everything to me.”

Amelia lifted her head and gazed adoringly at Oscar. There was a determined look in her eyes. “Oscar, no matter how much misunderstanding Mom has with me, I’ll never let you go this time. I’ll try my best to keep a distance from them to avoid causing you any trouble. I hope the same goes for you. Don’t let go of me so easily.”

A faint smile appeared on Oscar’s lips.

Leaning forward, he placed his hand on the back of Amelia’s head and kissed her. “Silly girl. Even if you let go of me, I’ll never let you go.”

Little did Oscar know that he was the one who ended up letting go of her.

“You should follow me to attend a party hosted by my family tomorrow. I want to earnestly introduce you and Tony to everybody so it could stop people from trying to introduce those lady socialites to me as well,” said Oscar.

With that, Amelia knew that Oscar was trying to tell everyone that she was the daughter-in-law of the Clintons the whole time. Actually, Oscar has never kept any woman by his side. As for the viral news about his engagement with the daughter of the Walker family, it’s just baseless rumors. But if that’s the case, it’ll definitely cause Mrs. Clinton to burst out in anger. She has yet to calm down from the photo incident I’ve induced. If Oscar dared to go against her and admit my identity as his wife, I’m afraid it might trigger a huge conflict after the party ended.

“What about Mom…”

“Don’t worry. You can count on me. Since we’ve brought Tony back for quite some time now, it’s time to introduce you guys to them. Otherwise, the people from the upper-class society would really think that my wife and son had run away. They’ve been pitying me as the abandoned man. Rumor has it that I can’t escape from the strange cycle of being dumped by women. When you attend the party with me, we can stop them from spreading rumors.” Oscar drew Amelia into his embrace and gently nibbled on her ears. “Don’t worry. I’m here for you. I won’t let you get hurt. You’re my woman, and it’ll remain unchanged forever.”

Amelia nuzzled into Oscar’s chest at peace.

“Oscar, I’m not afraid. I’m only worried that Mom will feel uneasy about it. As she’s now at the peak of fury, my presence might make her feel very unhappy with it.”

“Rest assured. I’ll take care of it. If you don’t go to the party with me tomorrow, Mom will probably set me up with Isabella in public. Can you bring yourself to let your man be with another woman?”

Amelia frowned with distaste. Of course, she disliked the idea of it.

“Okay. I’ll go with you.”

Following Amelia’s response, Oscar curled his lips into a smirk.

The duo were chatting and cuddling passionately among themselves for quite a while before Oscar finally went to pick up Tony.

The family of three spent a joyful day together.

The next day, Oscar and Amelia went to work as usual. Amelia busied until four in the afternoon and went to apply for leave from Shane. As Oscar’s woman and Tony’s mother, I must attend the Clintons’ party no matter what. Although I hope for Shane’s understanding, I’m a little embarrassed about it. Amelia had only been working there for about two months, but she had taken many leaves because of trivial matters. Even though the people in the department seemed to not mind on the surface, they were still secretly complaining about it. Some might even think that Amelia was not earnest and sincere with her work because of her status.

Amelia heaved a sigh. Indeed, I haven’t even achieved anything at work. Hence, I felt sorry as it seems like I’m simply receiving the salary without providing any value to the company.

“I’m sorry, Shane. Recently, I’ve been taking days off because of personal problems. I’m sorry for causing you trouble. I promise I’ll work hard to complete the tasks that have been delayed after settling my issues soon.” Amelia sounded a little apologetic.

Shane got to his feet and walked toward Amelia before patting her shoulder. “Don’t say that. Your performance at work is exceptional. I’m pretty sure that everyone’s well aware of your outstanding capabilities. Even though you have taken some leave, you’re working faster than the senior employees of the design department. I’m impressed with your working abilities. I’m the boss here. As long as the employees complete their tasks on time, I don’t mind if they use any reason to be absent or leave early.”

Amelia found his response amusing.

She uttered, “Shane, should I thank you for creating an excuse for me in such a pompous manner?”

“Well, you can take it that way. I guess I’m just too impressed with your personality and passion for work.”

“Stop that! What passion for work? I’m worried that most of the colleagues in the design department are dissatisfied with me. You’re the only one who gives me that kind of comment.”

“You’re thinking too much.” Shane pondered for a moment before asking, “Amelia, I wonder if I have the honor to attend the Clintons’ party?”

Amelia shot him a glance. “You want to expand your network of connections?”

Shane nodded in agreement.

“Being in this position, I guess everyone will wish to widen their network to strengthen their own company. Back then, I didn’t have the opportunity to interact with prominent families like the Clintons. Perhaps, the CEO of an average company like me is nothing compared to them. Not to mention, it’s even impossible for me to have a chance to attend a party full of influential people. This time, I hope to sneak into the party with your help. What do you think? Is that all right?” Shane revealed a smile.

Amelia looked at him and smiled. “Since you’ve already asked, do you think I have an excuse to reject you? From my perspective, I’m just someone who will lead you to cross the threshold. In terms of expanding connections, it’ll depend on your ability after all.”

“I’m more than thankful that you can help me with that.”

“Please don’t say that. I still need to work at your company. Of course, I wish the company can get better and better.”

“Nah, you should say I’m benefited from you, my lucky charm.”

They both looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.
