Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697 Wedding Anniversary

They left the office and took the elevator downstairs. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Isabella at the entrance.

Isabella’s eyes flickered for a brief moment when she saw the two of them interlocking fingers with each other tightly. Nonetheless, she did not display hostility toward Amelia.

Instead, Isabella approached them and smiled at them politely. “Hi, Oscar, Amelia. Are you guys going back?”

“Hello, Ms. Walker.” Amelia acted as if nothing sour had happened between them. “You get off work early today. How about you invite a guy for dinner together? A pretty girl like you should have someone to accompany you.” She faked a smile.

Isabella stole a glance at Oscar before responding with a smile, “Well, I’m not as lucky as you to be able to meet Oscar at a young age. Moreover, you guys are still acting like love birds even after eight years of marriage.”

“You can too, if you want to.”

Isabella grabbed her bag tightly while the smile on her face broadened.

“I hope so! I’ll invite you to witness my happiness when I’ve found my Mr. Right!”

“Sure!”

After exchanging pleasantries, Amelia held Oscar’s hand and got into the car.

She fastened her seatbelt and let out a sigh helplessly.

“What’s wrong?” Oscar asked, feeling amused.

“Nothing. I can’t help but feel the small talk I had with Isabella a while ago was pretty pointless. It was boring,” answered Amelia.

“You can ignore her next time. You don’t have to waste your time on unimportant people like her.”

She nodded with a smile on her face. “I think the same too. However, I started to realize that she’s quite a strong opponent. She’s pretty outstanding. Not to mention that she comes from good family background, has a pretty look, and is quite capable. If I were a guy, I might choose her too.”

“That explains why you are not a guy. Look at your poor taste!”

Hearing that, Amelia was rendered speechless.

After reaching home, they had dinner with Tony together. Amelia played with Tony for nearly an hour before taking him for a shower and coaxing him to sleep.

After cooing him to bed, she returned to her bedroom.

Oscar remarked, “Mr. Walker and Mrs. Walker’s thirtieth wedding anniversary is coming soon. They will be inviting all the reputable and influential people there. Can you go with me on that day?”

“Okay.”

Amelia nodded in agreement.

To prepare for the big day, Oscar purposely hired a professional makeup artist to do the makeup and also to pick the most beautiful gown for Amelia.

Amelia came out of the fitting room, looking extremely beautiful in a black-diamond gown. The evening gown fitted her perfectly and clung seductively to her hourglass curves. With her hair tied up, it revealed her slender and fair neck. Besides, her makeup was just right, as it was not too heavy. There was a hint of coquettishness in her sexiness.

As she walked out, Oscar stared at her in amazement.

Amelia could not help but blush and asked awkwardly, “Oscar, do I look bad?”

“No, you look good. In fact, you’re extraordinarily beautiful today,” he said sweetly.

Amelia straightened his suit and uttered graciously, “Well, you look super handsome today too. Will we garner everyone’s attention when we show up?”

“That’s for sure. You’ll be the center of attention. What should I do then? I wish to keep you by my side, and I don’t wish to see the other men fixing their eyes on you.”

“Don’t worry. Those men can look at me all they want, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m yours.”

Hearing that, Oscar tapped on her nose dotingly.

Amelia, Oscar, and Tony’s arrival successfully caught everyone’s attention. The men shifted their attention to Amelia naturally, while the single ladies stared at Oscar. Their looks were too striking after the makeover that everyone fixed their eyes on them.

Meanwhile, Olivia was chatting with Carol and the others. She swiftly excused herself when she spotted her precious Tony and instantly headed in Tony’s direction.

“Tony, my darling! You’re finally here!” With that said, Olivia hugged him and gave him two sweet kisses on his cheek. Anyone there could see her overflowing love for her grandson.

Tony responded by returning her a kiss on her cheek and said, “Grandma, you look pretty today, just like Mommy!”

Olivia’s heart was instantly filled with delight when she heard his words. “Such a good boy,” complimented Olivia.

Meanwhile, Carol and the others walked over too. Seeing Tony, they kept pouring praises on him.

“Tony, you look very handsome today! You’re just like a little prince!”
