Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749 Invite Trouble

Amelia Hutton was the happiest person when Amelia Winters and Oscar decided to stay. Despite being deeply saddened by Eleanor’s unexpected passing, she still had feelings for Oscar. She was also concerned that she would eventually lose her place in the Hutton family due to Benjamin’s abrupt change in attitude toward Amelia Winters.

Hence, she wanted to take advantage of those few days to seduce Oscar, thinking that she might be able to chase Amelia Winters away if she could win Oscar’s heart.

Thus, she made every effort during those few days to get close to Oscar. Finally, she was able to get some private time with him. After cutting some fruit, she slowly approached Oscar.

“Oscar, are you thirsty? Have some fruit. I just cut it.” Amelia Hutton offered the fruit as a gesture of goodwill toward Oscar. Glancing at her, Oscar replied indifferently, “No, thank you.”

“Oscar, we’ll be a family from now on. You don’t have to be so cold to me.” Nonetheless, Oscar only gave her a fleeting glance before turning around and leaving.

Amelia Hutton quickly followed behind and said anxiously, “Oscar, if you take another step forward, I’ll start shouting that you molested me. I’m sure you don’t want my sister to misunderstand you.”

When Oscar heard that, he halted in his tracks and cast a bewildered glance her way. “She has more faith in me than in you. If you still have some self-respect and respect for your mother, you should keep in mind that she has just passed away.”

In an instant, Amelia Hutton’s eyes flickered, and her expression changed. In the end, she piped up weakly, “Oscar, I’m sorry. I don’t mean anything else. All I want to do is talk to you. Mom’s death was so unexpected, and Dad is utterly depressed. Sean is preoccupied with work and Mom’s funeral at the same time, so he has no time to speak with me. I’m also very sad. I just wanted to talk to you because I saw you by yourself earlier. Can’t you have a chat with me?”

Instead of answering, Oscar whipped around and walked away.

Biting her lip, Amelia Hutton made up her mind as her mood fluctuated greatly. She ran in front of Oscar and stopped him. “Oscar, I really just want to chat with you,” she said, tears welling up in her eyes. “I don’t mean anything else. Why not spend a moment gazing at the moon with me? I’ll return you to Amy when she gets here. I have no intention of making you mine. Please trust me.”

Oscar’s gaze became colder and colder as he stared at her.

Even though Amelia Hutton was terrified of his gaze, she pretended to be weak in order to make a good impression on him. “Oscar, it was my fault for seducing you before this, and my parents have chastised me for doing so. It’s true that I have feelings for you, but I won’t act on them anymore. Once a bit more time has passed, I’ll go on blind dates and get married early to put Mom at ease. Otherwise, she’d have to be concerned about Sean and me even in the afterlife.”

“That’s your business.” In other words, what did that have to do with him?

Despite being outraged by his words, Amelia Hutton was aware that her previous approach was improper. She would make no progress at all if she carried on in that manner because it would only make Oscar hate her more and more. “Oscar, I genuinely realize that I made a mistake. Even a criminal has the chance to change for the better. You have to give me a chance too, right?”

“As long as you don’t get on Amelia’s nerves, what you do has nothing to do with me,” replied Oscar straightforwardly. “Get out of my way. I don’t want Amelia to be upset when she sees the two of us standing together.”

Just as Amelia Hutton was about to say something, she caught sight of Amelia Winters and Sean walking over with her sharp eyes. As they approached, she pretended to sprain her ankle and threw herself into Oscar’s arms. Oscar attempted to shake her off, but she clung to him like a leech and made him unable to do so.

In the eyes of others, Oscar was hugging Amelia Hutton tightly. It was as if they were passionately embracing each other.

A cold glint flickered across Amelia Winters’ eyes as she clenched her fists slowly.

“Amelia Hutton, what are you doing?” Sean roared indignantly.

Oscar immediately pushed Amelia Hutton away so hard that she fell to the ground.

Subsequently, he turned to face Amelia Winters and felt the need to explain. “Amelia, I can explain. The situation is not as it appears to be.”

Chuckling lightly, Amelia Winters walked over and brushed Oscar’s shirt while saying casually, “Let me clean it for you. It would be bad if dirt got on your clothes.”

Oscar stared deeply into her eyes and asked, “Aren’t you angry?”

A smile spread across Amelia Winters’ face as she inquired, “Is there anything to be furious about?”

As soon as Oscar heard that, he also beamed and said lovingly, “I’ll throw this shirt away when I go back and wear the one you bought for me.”

Amelia Hutton was envious and enraged when she saw that the argument she had imagined never happened.

She made an attempt to stand up but quickly realized she had really sprained her ankle.

When she cried out in pain, Sean hurriedly extended his hand and helped her up. “What’s wrong? Did you sprain your ankle?” he asked with concern.

In response, Amelia Hutton nodded.

“Amy, Sean, you’re here. I was having a brief conversation with Oscar. We were wondering where you were, and then you showed up,” Amelia Hutton pretended to explain. “Amy, there’s nothing between Oscar and me. Please don’t misunderstand. I just accidentally sprained my ankle and fell on him.”

Hearing that, Amelia Winters gave Amelia Hutton a complicated look and responded indifferently, “I didn’t misunderstand. However, Oscar dislikes being touched by strangers. He and I are both highly sensitive to smell. If there’s another woman’s scent on his body, he’ll probably take at least three showers when we go back later. You should be careful when you walk in the future. Don’t just throw yourself on others, especially your brother-in-law. People aware of what happened won’t give it much thought, but those who are unaware might assume that you are attempting to seduce your brother-in-law. Mom has just passed away. Don’t make her feel anxious even after she’s gone.”
