Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 884

Chapter 884 Reunion

Amelia arrived at the private dining room Oscar had mentioned right on time. As soon as she entered, she was grabbed and shoved up against the wall.

The two of them kissed for what seemed like forever. When their lips separated, Amelia had to lean on Oscar for support as she had gone weak at the knees. With her cheek pressed against his chest, she could hear the rapid beating of his heart.

Amelia felt like she was dreaming. Her year-long wish had finally come true, and easily at that. She even wondered if this was a prank Oscar was pulling on her where once she believed all this to be true, he would flip and break her with the most hurtful words he could find.

However, it doesn’t matter. Even if he were to reveal that everything was an act he put on, I’m willing to play along now.

Amelia was totally immersed in his domineering yet gentle kiss. All her rationality and composure were gone when she was with him.

If this was all a dream, then she hoped she could stay in it for a little longer.

As Oscar gazed at Amelia, who was lying in his arms like a docile kitten, he could not help but smirk.

My dear Amelia still loves me even after everything she has gone through. How could I have gotten my memories jumbled up and forced such a loyal woman to leave the country? Even death can’t atone for what I did.

“I’m sorry for making you suffer for the past year, Amelia,” Oscar whispered in a low voice as he stroked the back of her hand.

Amelia instantly looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes.

“Do you finally remember me, Oscar?” Amelia asked with a choked voice. She did not dare to believe good things could happen to her so quickly. Much like the kiss earlier, she thought it was just one of Oscar’s tricks and did not dare to even hope that he had regained his memories. She feared that the more she hoped, the greater her disappointment would be.

Oscar lifted her chin and kissed her on the lips, his heart aching.

“I remember everything. Even though I didn’t want any of this to happen, my memories were jumbled up, and I caused you so much suffering for the past year. I’m sorry for that. I don’t care if you get angry at me. Hit me or yell at me if you want, but please don’t leave me. As for Isabella, though I had officially announced that she is my fiancée, we have never been intimate, so please don’t misunderstand my relationship with her,” Oscar explained as he gazed into Amelia’s eyes.

He was deathly afraid that Amelia would think he and Isabella were in love and had been intimate. Then, even if he and Amelia were to remarry, the thought would constantly haunt them. Moreover, he knew that Amelia would pretend like nothing was wrong despite being bothered by it.

Doubt flashed across Amelia’s eyes. It was obvious that she did not believe him.

“Oscar, I know that this wasn’t your choice, so no matter what has happened between you and Isabella, I don’t mind. You’re a man, after all, so I get it.” Amelia averted her gaze and shrugged, pretending to be understanding.

Oscar studied her closely. His gaze was so intense that it felt like he was looking right through her.

I know she’s just putting up a tough front. If she really didn’t care, her eyes wouldn’t betray the hurt she was feeling. I know my woman best. But it’s because I know how she is that my heart aches when I have to deal with her stubbornness.

“I mean it when I say there is nothing between us. Although I claimed that she was my lover, I would feel extremely uncomfortable whenever she touched me. You know that I’m somewhat of a germaphobe and would never lay a finger on a woman I’m not interested in,” Oscar explained.

Amelia let out a light laugh, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. The grin that broke out on her face made her look all the more radiant.

Oscar’s gaze darkened as he lowered his head and covered her lips with his.

Unable to control himself, he reached out to unbutton Amelia’s top, but she quickly grabbed his wandering hands.

“What’s wrong?” Oscar asked, his voice hoarse.

Amelia shook her head, her eyes still appearing a little dazed from the passionate kiss.

“Let’s not do this here, Oscar,” she whispered.

The corners of Oscar’s lips lifted slightly. He did not get upset at Amelia for rejecting his advances. Instead, he tidied her clothes and pressed a tender kiss on her forehead.

“I’m sorry for getting carried away. I must have scared you,” he apologized gently.

Amelia shook her head.

Oscar pulled her to the couch and sat down.

She gazed at him, her heart full of affection. All thoughts about others’ trickery or scheming had been tossed out the window.

If she could, all she wanted was to spend the rest of her life with Oscar just like this.
