Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 878

Chapter 878 Extreme Possessiveness

After they were done with Tony’s admission procedures, Olivia asked Norton to drive them to the condominium where Amelia and Oscar used to stay.

As Norton drove into the neighborhood, Amelia looked through the window at the familiar surroundings. A different gush of emotions gradually rose in her heart.

She and Oscar had lived in the neighborhood for almost ten years. In the beginning, they started off with a contractual relationship, and it took them five years to show each other their true feelings. Then, they were separated for two years after she lost her vision due to a car accident. If she had known that Oscar would forget all about her one day, she wouldn’t have divorced him back then and resided in Beshya for two years.

The time she and Oscar had spent with each other was short. To make matters worse, another woman was now claiming her role.

Oscar, if I had realized earlier how much I love you, I would have married you in a different way back then. No matter what ups and downs we might go through, I would stay by your side and never leave.

“Amelia, let’s get out of the car,” urged Olivia.

After regaining her senses, Amelia stared at Olivia with a slightly confounded expression.

“This is your true home which has all of your memories with Oscar. Are you really going to let someone take your place? Besides, Isabella has never stayed here,” said Olivia, seemingly hinting at something.

Blinking her eyes, Amelia was in a sudden daze, as if her mind had stopped working.

Olivia chuckled at her confused expression.

Grabbing Amelia, she exited the car and immediately walked into the place.

Olivia explained kindly when they were in the elevator, “Oscar bought Isabella another house elsewhere. As for this condominium, I don’t know why Oscar only lives here alone, so I guess he still cares very much about you. Take it slow. He will think of you one day, sooner or later.”

Amelia’s eyes sparkled while her lips couldn’t help but curl upward.

When Olivia, holding Tony in her arms, and Amelia stepped out of the elevator, they saw a couple kissing in the corridor. To be precise, the woman was cupping the man’s face as she claimed his lips passionately, but he just stood there without any response.

Despite so, Amelia’s pupils shrank, and she felt a sharp pang in her heart as if someone was clenching it.

“Grandma, Mommy, Big Meanie is kissing another girl. He is so annoying.” Tony’s sulky and adorable voice snapped Amelia and Olivia out of their thoughts. The couple, who was at the side, quickly stepped away from each other when they heard the sudden sound.

When Isabella saw Amelia and Tony, hatred filled her eyes. However, she could not help but retract her gaze when she met Olivia’s stern glare. She then stood close to Oscar like a little girl and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

“Aunt Olivia, you’re here. Oscar and I were discussing what to get for you when we visit you,” stated Isabella obediently and coyly.

However, Olivia simply eyed her coldly.

“Oscar, I contacted reporters from a few major media companies. There will be a press conference five days later. Call off your engagement with Isabella during the press conference. Our family doesn’t accept someone who is riddled with scandals. It affects the reputation of our family,” uttered Olivia coldly.

When Isabella heard that, her face turned pale, and she grabbed Oscar’s arm tightly.

Tilting his head to look at her, Oscar comforted the woman with a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. They can’t hold a press conference without my consent.”

At that, the uneasiness on Isabella’s face faded away, and she flashed him a soft smile.

Oscar shot Amelia a discreet glance before shifting his gaze to Tony.

“Tony, since you are a big boy, you should walk on your own. At your age, you shouldn’t keep asking people to carry you anymore,” said Oscar with a slightly stern voice and a cold expression.

Tony was not afraid of the man as he scowled at the latter with widened eyes and even snorted proudly with his nose held high.

“You bullied Mommy, so I don’t want to talk to you, Big Meanie,” stated Tony firmly.

Upon hearing that, Oscar did not feel angry but laughed out loud.

“As expected of my son. Your charisma and guts resemble mine when I was young. Come here. Let me hold you. Let’s see if you have become chubbier since I last saw you a year ago.” Ignoring Tony’s resistance, Oscar took the former into his embrace forcefully. Lifting Tony in his arms, he seemed satisfied with Tony’s weight.

“Not bad. You are heavier and have become more stubborn than you were a year ago, but I like it. Your mommy has taught you well,” said Oscar with a smile.

Those around him either felt delighted or fearful when they heard his words.

Isabella clenched her fists as her heart raced. Watching the father and son interaction, she had a feeling that all her efforts were about to be in vain.

Extremely flustered, she quickly dashed forward to hold Oscar’s arm and smiled sweetly at Tony.

“Tony, do you still remember me? You’ve grown so much after a year, looking more like your father. After I marry him, I will be your stepmother,” said Amelia gently.

Tony rolled his eyes at her and pulled a face. The way he pouted his small lips made him look like a replica of Oscar.

“You are fighting with Mommy over Big Meanie. You’re a bad person. I don’t like you,” exclaimed Tony.

Isabella’s face turned stiff all of a sudden.

Looking aggrievedly at Oscar, she didn’t expect that he wouldn’t speak up for her.

“Isabella, Tony is still young. It’ll be fine after you spend more time with him later on,” stated Oscar.

Isabella gritted her teeth hard, almost crushing them. Despite the intense anger she felt, she still put on an amicable look.

“You’re right, Oscar. I was being too hasty.”

Oscar just nodded at that.

Olivia carried Tony with one arm and glanced at Isabella before she pulled Amelia toward the house with her other hand.

When Isabella stepped forward to stand in their way, Olivia shot her a glance and asked petulantly, “Isabella, what are you trying to do?”

“Aunt Olivia, please don’t be mad. This condominium is mine and Oscar’s future home now. After all, there is nothing between Ms. Winters and Oscar anymore. It doesn’t seem right if she enters the place.”

Olivia scoffed and silenced Isabella with just a comment. “I almost forgot to tell you that Oscar transferred the condominium to Amelia back then, so no matter how much you try to claim her place, nothing will work out. You should save yourself the worry.”

Isabella was so mad that her chest heaved up and down. Feeling wronged, she looked at Oscar, whose expression was relatively calm, evidently not planning to speak up for her. There was a pang of dismay in her heart as she felt utterly aggrieved at that moment.

“Mom, I have something to tell Isabella. You two can go inside if you want to. We’ll leave you two alone.” After saying that, Oscar immediately pulled Isabella into the elevator with him and paid no mind to Olivia’s shouts from behind.

After stepping into the elevator, Isabella could no longer hold back her tears, sobbing miserably.

“Oscar, you don’t care about me anymore, right?” asked Isabella pitifully.

Oscar helped her to wipe the tears off her face and said gently, “You fool. If I didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t have taken you away. You must believe that I love you the most. Don’t worry. We will have our wedding as planned. I’ll make you the happiest bride in this world.”

Isabella glanced at Oscar tearfully as if she wanted to see whether his expression was genuine through her tears.

“Oscar, do you really mean that?”

“If I don’t, do you think you have what it takes for me to get engaged with you?”
