Chapter 635 You Have Been Bad
Amelia made no mention of Eleanor being in Tayhaven when Oscar came home later that night. She simply made dinner, watched some cartoons with Tony, and gave him a bath before tucking him in. Upon returning to her bedroom, she saw Oscar coming out of the bathroom with only a towel on.
“Come here, Oscar. I’ll help blow your hair dry,” Amelia said while gesturing at him with a smile.
Oscar did as told, and Amelia began blow-drying his hair gently. When his hair was mostly dry, she switched off the hair dryer and said, “June is back, Oscar. This time, he has taken the identity of an overseas merchant for the Adertons. I think he might’ve come prepared.”
Oscar reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “What, you afraid that he’ll get the drop on me?” he asked in a deep, seductive voice while pricking her cheek with his stubble.
Amelia let out a giggle and wrapped her arms around his neck as she replied, “Of course not! I’m just worried you might end up killing him with your savagery! Still, we should be a little more careful in case he really did come prepared. After all, the ones that play dirty and strike from the shadows are the most difficult to defend against. You and I both know just how petty and cunning June is, so we should be on our guard.”
Oscar simply chuckled and sealed her lips with his. “I don’t like hearing you mention another man’s name, even if you are talking about taking him out. I think we should do a little something more meaningful instead,” he whispered while they were taking a moment to catch their breath between kisses.
The next thing Amelia knew, he had assaulted her with yet another barrage of kisses.
While the two of them were having a romantic moment together, Cassie was sitting in the corner of a bar with over ten bottles of whiskey and beer on the table. Some of them were empty and had been knocked over.
She had a dazed look in her eyes as she continued chugging on a bottle of beer. Even the blind could see that she was very intoxicated at the time.
Suddenly, a lecherous young man sat down beside her and tried to feel up her thigh. However, someone grabbed his wrist from behind before his fingers even touched her.
The man then turned around and shouted in annoyance, “What the… Who dares ruin my—” He chickened out halfway through his sentence when he saw the tall and strong foreigner standing behind him. “C-Can I help you, mister?”
“She’s my girlfriend.”
“I’m sorry! I thought she was single because she was drinking here all by herself! I’ll take my leave now that you’re here!” The young man then brushed his arm free and ran off in fear.
Cassie narrowed her eyes and held up her glass as she mumbled, “Here, have a drink…”
The man sat down beside her and caressed her face as he said in a sinister tone, “It hasn’t even been a month since I left, and you’re already getting yourself wasted like this? Do you miss me that badly?”
Cassie tried to brush his arm off, but lacked the strength to do so due to her state of intoxication.
“June? Is that you?” she asked uncertainly after taking a moment to glare really hard at the man.
“You finally recognize me, huh?”
To his surprise, Cassie burst out crying as she exclaimed, “This is impossible! That b*stard went back to his home country! He doesn’t want me anymore! He actually dumped me just because I said I wanted to get back together with Oscar! I’ve been so miserable ever since he left! He used me for so many years, and then he just ditched me before I could get anything in return! Can you believe that? Well, whatever… I suppose it’s for the better anyway! With him gone, I’ll finally be free! I don’t miss him at all! I love Oscar, so there’s no way I’d ever miss that f*cking creep!”
The look in June’s eyes turned gloomy upon hearing that. “Honey, it’s not nice for women to tell lies,” he said while pinching her chin.
“Ow! It hurts! Let go of me!” Cassie winced from the pain and waved her arms frantically in response.
June leaned in close and whispered into her ear, “I’ll let go if you say you love June and miss him dearly.”
“No! I love Oscar! Everything I do has been for him! I would never fall in love with that creep! Besides, he has already ditched me and returned to his country, so I’d never fall for him!” Cassie protested stubbornly.
“You’re wrong. He didn’t ditch you. He only returned to his country because he wanted to come back to you in his best state, avenge you, and provide you with the best life possible. He has been with you for so many years now, so there’s no way he’d let some other guy have you!” June said in a seductive voice.
Cassie looked up at him and asked, “Really?”
“Yes, really. He loves you very much, so he would never leave you here all by yourself.”
“But I love Oscar!”
