Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 883

Chapter 883 Regain Memories

Hugo asked probingly, “Boss, you asked me to chase Ms. Winters out of the country when you were drunk yesterday. Do you still want me to do that?”

Oscar’s eyes glistened, and he took a sidelong glance at Hugo. Hugo’s heart plummeted. He was afraid Oscar had seen through him.

However, Oscar looked away before bowing his head and pondering for a moment. An indiscernible emotion flashed across his eyes. Amelia, Amelia, Amelia.

Oscar enunciated Amelia’s name a few times inwardly and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. “Boss, if you don’t have any other instructions, I’ll go and do it now,” Hugo said hesitantly.

“Come back,” Oscar called out. Hugo turned around and lowered his head. “Boss, I’m here.”

“No one is allowed to lay a finger on her without my instructions. Otherwise, I’ll hold you guys responsible.” Oscar glared at Hugo. He did not know why he felt so emotional, but he did not like anyone harming her. For some reason, he was of the opinion that only he could bully her, and he would not allow anyone else to hurt her.

When Hugo heard that, a tiny smile appeared on his face. “Yes, Boss. It was presumptuous of me to guess your intentions. I’ll accept your punishment.”

Oscar waved his hand dismissively, appearing slightly tired as he massaged his head. He felt his head was in much more pain than before.

“Boss, are you okay? Do you want me to massage your head? The wine yesterday was not particularly strong, so I didn’t expect you to get drunk. I apologize for that,” Hugo said sincerely as he stood before Oscar with his arms hanging by his sides.

Oscar waved his hand again, gesturing for Hugo to leave. Hugo shot him a concerned look before leaving the condominium. Oscar waited for the pain in his head to subside before he took a shower. Then, he changed into his suit to head to work.

He received a call from Isabella on his way. Looking at the name on the phone screen, he frowned as annoyance flashed across his face.

He reached out to massage his head again and took a deep breath before answering the call. When he heard Isabella’s voice on the other end of the line, he felt annoyed. He could only try to convince himself that the intense pain in his head was why he almost lost his temper with the woman who loved him.

Realizing his errant state of emotions, he quickly ended the call. He covered his face with both hands, a complex range of emotions churning within him.

Isabella was very determined. Since Oscar hung up on her abruptly, she continued to call him persistently. It seemed she would not stop until Oscar picked up again.

Oscar stared at his phone screen in deep thought. After hesitating for a while, he finally answered the phone. “Oscar,” Isabella said sweetly.

Oscar could not help but frown as he felt slightly uncomfortable. “Oscar?” Isabella called out again when she did not hear Oscar’s reply. “I’m here,” Oscar answered.

Isabella was sensitive and instantly felt the coldness in his tone. “Oscar, did I do something wrong?” she asked carefully.

Oscar instantly wiped away the gloomy look on his face and said warmly, “Stop overthinking things. I’m driving, so I can’t chat with you. I’ll give you a call when I reach the office.”

“Oscar, I’m in the office already. You promised me yesterday that I could be your personal assistant. You can’t take back your words. I just want to be by your side every day,” Isabella said with a smile.

Oscar’s brows furrowed instinctively, and his mood worsened upon hearing that.

“Let’s talk about it when I arrive.” With that, he hung up promptly.

After he put down his phone, he shook his head. Suddenly, many images flashed across his mind, all of Amelia and him. However, it happened too quickly, and all he saw was a blur.

Oscar grabbed his head as frustration welled in him.

He drove to the company, and as expected, Isabella was waiting at the entrance.

His expression turned cold. However, he reverted to his expressionless self after he parked his car.

“Oscar, I missed you. Can you accompany me to try on wedding dresses this afternoon? We’ll finally get to live together after we marry. I’m fine with it if you want to do it now, but you said to wait until after marriage. Either way, I’ll be your woman sooner or later,” Isabella babbled as she held onto his arm.

When Oscar heard her words, he felt even more irritable.

“Let’s go up first.”

Isabella shot him a confused look. Suppressing the doubts and questions in her mind, she nodded her head obediently.

They walked upstairs side by side. The moment they stepped out of the elevator, Linda walked over.

“Mr. Clinton, the director from Royce Technologies personally called to say that if you truly don’t like Ms. Winters, he’s willing to change to another representative,” Linda informed in a businesslike manner.

Doubt flitted across Oscar’s eyes as he froze in his tracks.

“There’s no need for that. I’m satisfied with her. Tell them they don’t have to change the representatives. They’re fine,” Oscar replied.

When Linda and Isabella heard his words, they were stunned. They did not understand why Oscar would change his mind suddenly. There was something strange about his demeanor too.

Regardless, Linda was quite pleased after her initial surprise, whereas Isabella was so angry she almost bit her tongue. However, she did not completely lose her mind and confront him about it upfront. Instead, she swallowed her anger and entered the office with him.

“Oscar, what do you mean by that? You weren’t like this yesterday. You just embarrassed me in front of everyone. Are you still the same person who kissed and hugged me in front of everyone yesterday? You changed your mind so quickly. Do you really view me as your future partner?” At first, Isabella wanted to hold it in, but when she saw how Oscar did not intend to explain himself, she exploded.

Oscar glanced at her in confusion and massaged his head. It seemed he had blacked out last night and lost his memories temporarily. He could not remember what had happened yesterday at all.

When Isabella saw his reaction, she became even angrier.

“Oscar, do you think it’s interesting to play me like this? I didn’t want to quarrel with you in the company, but you promised to bring the wedding forward. Yet, you’re acting cold to me now. You don’t feel bad for me even when I do so much for you. I really doubt whether you love me.”

Isabella did not know what had gone wrong to cause Oscar’s attitude to change suddenly.

“Shut it.” Oscar’s head hurt even more with her outburst. Many images flashed across his mind again. It was all of Amelia and him. As for Isabella, he could not remember their sweet memories together anymore as he looked at her current vicious expression.

He continued to massage his head, unable to comprehend what was happening to him.

“Oscar, I’m talking to you! You can’t even treat me with respect! Are you thinking of breaking up with me?” Isabella bellowed. She had had enough of Oscar being hot and cold to her. If she could not obtain his love, she would rather ruin what he had now and leave him with nothing.

“Are you done?” Oscar said in his low voice.

Isabella looked at him as tears welled in her eyes, tumultuous waves of emotions raging inside her.

“I’m not making a scene. I’m questioning you.” She laughed in exasperation before continuing, “Oscar, I’ve tried every trick in the book to win you over. Yet I still failed in the end. Do you want me to dig my heart out and give it to you?”

Oscar frowned at Isabella’s words, thinking she was being unreasonable.

“Isabella, you should head back first. We’ll talk after you’ve calmed down. If you still want the same as before, our wedding will be held as scheduled. As for your video on the internet, I won’t mind it,” Oscar said patiently.

Isabella felt as if her heart had been stabbed several times. If Oscar had uttered such words to her two days ago, she would have been utterly delighted. However, it sounded ironic to her at that moment.

Oscar did not mind the video. In other words, he did not care at all. She could not figure out what he thought of her. Does he think of me as his lover? But he doesn’t care that much for me or protect me as one would. As a friend? If that’s the case, all my efforts were in vain.

Isabella’s goal was to win Oscar’s heart, and to do so, she had spent almost all her savings. She would not tolerate failure. Otherwise, she would be left empty-handed while also facing the threat of his revenge.

She was frightened by that thought as she could not bear to face Oscar’s retribution. If it came to that, she would have to take the initiative.

Countless thoughts flashed across Isabella’s mind as she contemplated her next move. It took a while for her to regain her senses.

“Oscar, I’m sorry for losing my composure just now. I’m just too afraid of losing you. You made a lifetime promise to me in front of everyone yesterday. Then, you suddenly acted indifferently toward me as you did in the past. I was truly terrified you didn’t love me anymore, and that’s why I lost control. Please don’t be angry. I won’t do that again,” Isabella pleaded.

Oscar’s heart softened when he saw her sobbing pitifully.

Reaching out, he stroked Isabella’s hair and comforted her, “Don’t overthink it. My head still hurts after I drank some wine last night. When you came over and made a fuss, my headache became worse. That’s why I wasn’t being nice to you.”

Isabella blinked and gave him a disbelieving look.

Through her tears, she watched him to gauge whether he was being serious or not.

“Oscar, let me massage your temples. I was at fault too. I should be the one apologizing to you, so don’t be mad at me.”
