Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 775

Chapter 775 A Dramatic Love Triangle

After finishing breakfast, both Amelia and Oscar decided unanimously to go for a walk in the park. They figured it could help Tony mingle with other children. On top of that reason, they wanted to relieve themselves from the recent tension that had come knocking on their doors.

Hugo assumed the role of a chauffeur and drove the trio to the park in the neighborhood. He then swiftly parked the car before secretly hiding in the dark somewhere nearby.

In the meantime, Oscar was carrying a bunch of stuff in one hand while holding Tony’s little hand in another. Amelia, too, held her boy’s hand on the other side.

Soon enough, the family of three found a decent spot to sit down and relax. Perhaps because it was the weekend, there were quite a number of people visiting the park. The vast majority of them were either family members or a group of friends; all of them brought a variety of eatables with them as well.

Just as Oscar and Amelia were about to finally put their things down and sit, an annoying female voice could be heard coming from nearby. “Such a coincidence, Oscar. I didn’t know strolling was your thing, too.”

Amelia was grabbing a bag of stuff before freezing momentarily upon hearing that voice. She couldn’t even be bothered to turn to look, for she could already recognize to whom that voice belonged.

“Hey, Oscar,” Isabella called out gently. There was a glint in her eyes as she landed her gaze on Oscar.

As the latter caught sight of the approaching flock of three—Noah, Stephanie, and Isabella, his expression darkened slightly, and his visage turned as grim as death.

“Today’s the weekend, and Steph got so bored of staying in, so I brought her out here for a stroll. I didn’t expect to see you and Amelia here, you know. If you don’t mind, why don’t we all sit together and enjoy each other’s company? Wouldn’t it be great? What do you say?” Noah sounded ever so courteously.

Since Stephanie was pregnant and Noah had been doting on her, her feeling of fear toward Oscar was almost non-existent.

“Oscar, I’ve not seen you and Tony for so long, so can I sit beside you? After all, I’ve been having a bun in the oven for a couple of months now, but you have yet to speak a word to your unborn nephew,” came Stephanie’s request with a pleading look in her eyes.

“I think you people would be better off choosing a different spot. If you need more food and drink, I can ask someone to fetch you some. But for the time being, I’d like to spend some private time with my own family of three,” was Oscar’s blatant rejection.

Stephanie fumed on the spot, “I know what happened between you and Isabella, Oscar. Why are you so eager to chase her away like this? You must feel guilty, don’t you? If not, why can’t you acquiesce to your own sister’s measly wish?”

Oscar’s face fell as he shot Stephanie a piercing glare.

The latter couldn’t help but shudder. Undoubtedly, she was still very much terrified of her brother’s imposing aura.

During the interval, Amelia only kept her lips buttoned.

Wrapping his arm around Stephanie’s shoulder, Noah uttered in an affectionate tone, “Don’t spout nonsense, Steph. Nothing has ever happened between Isabella and Oscar. If you continue saying things like that, not only will you drag Isabella’s name through the mud, but you’ll also hurt Amelia’s feelings.”

Stephanie wasn’t in the mood to listen to his preaching, thus rolling her eyes at his very statement.

Noah made eye contact with her, signaling her to remain calm. He then directed his gaze at Amelia, proclaiming, “Don’t take her words to heart, Amelia, because she has been living in clover these few months. Plus, I’ve been spoiling her a lot, so she might come off a bit blunt. But I can assure you that she meant no harm. Maybe I ought to apologize to you on her behalf.”

“No, it’s fine. You don’t have to do that. Steph has always been this way in front of me. Besides, I’ve never expected her to act all amicable to me as her sister-in-law. Just bring them somewhere else, or this outing might really end on a sour note.” Amelia was as calm as a toad in the sun as she cast a glance at Noah.
