Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 750

Chapter 750 An Outstanding Man

Oscar walked over and hugged her. “Are you really not mad at what I did just now?”

“You want me to be mad at you?”

“That’s not what I meant. It’s just weird seeing you react so calmly. I bet other wives would have exploded should this happen to their husbands, regardless of the truth of the matter. You’re way too calm,” Oscar complained.

“So you’re blaming me for being too calm when I’m just trying to be considerate?” Amelia stopped smiling and put on an angry front on purpose. “Fine. Tell me what you were doing with Amelia when you were alone with her in the middle of the night. You better come clean now, or else I’ll kick you out of bed.”

Oscar watched in interest and amusement as she blew her top. He thought she looked adorable as this was different from her usual composed demeanor.

“Would you believe me if I told you she came to look for me, brought me fruits, and fell into my arms?” Oscar asked.

Amelia poked his chest with her finger and pouted. “You could have dodged her since you have quick reflexes. Did you intentionally allow that to happen?”

“Yes,” Oscar admitted.

Amelia pinched his chest and raised her voice. “You better explain yourself today! If not, I’ll kick you out of the house.”

He explained, “I heard you and Sean coming in our direction, so I wanted to know how you would react when you see another woman in my arms. I’m curious to know if you’d scream at me and question me like how most women would do or remain calm and act as if it doesn’t bother you. I also wanted to know if you would yell at Amelia and me for being shameless. In hindsight, it was done in poor taste on my part. Regardless, I was eager to know your reaction.”

“So you went all out to bring the jealousy out of me, huh? What if I misunderstood you and refused to listen to your explanation?” Amelia asked.

“You wouldn’t do that to me,” he answered.

Amelia looked at the man. Well, he got me.

She continued asking, “What makes you think so?”

“Because you can’t bear to leave me.”

“Since you know I won’t leave you, why would you still test my patience with this kind of ridiculous experiment? I don’t care if you did this on purpose or unintentionally, but the fact that a woman tried to approach you has made me uncomfortable. I’d go bonkers if there’s something fishy between you and my sister, especially since it’s too soon after Mom died,” Amelia voiced out her thoughts and ended with a sigh.

Oscar stroked the back of her head and said, “I’m sorry. I was being inconsiderate.”

Amelia leaned on his chest and muttered, “Oscar, Mom’s funeral has worn me out. It also got me to start thinking about how fragile life can be. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you without being caught up in any drama. I’ve severed my ties with all the men who once appeared in my life, but you’re still a chick magnet. I won’t stop them from confessing their love for you, but I need to know if your heart is with me.”

Oscar lowered his voice and replied, “I’m sorry to make you feel this way, but I’ve never paid any attention to those women.”

Amelia finally let out a chuckle. “Let’s go to bed. Since we don’t need to stay up late tonight, we can have a good night’s sleep.”

Oscar asked, “Are you not going to reprimand me further?”

“Are you a masochist? I’ve never realized you had this dark side in you, even though we’ve been married for many years,” Amelia quipped.

Amelia Winters looked at her sister as if she was looking at a lunatic. She turned sideways and was about to walk away from Amelia Hutton.

Amelia Hutton smashed the bowl in her hand, took a broken piece, and placed it on her wrist. “Amelia Winters, don’t you dare walk away! I’ll cut myself!”

Amelia Winters paused and turned around. She looked at her and said icily, “What do you want from me?”

“Get Oscar to fall in love with me, or I’ll cut my wrist.”

“Go ahead and do it. I’m not responsible for your life. If you don’t cherish it, so be it. I’m not a saint like Mother Mary. I can’t give up my husband just because someone threatens to kill herself in front of me. You wish to end your life here? By all means,” Amelia Winters said indifferently while looking at Amelia Hutton with a scowl.

“How can you be so heartless? How could you utter such a cruel remark to me when Mom has only recently passed on? You think you can sleep in peace after saying things like this?”

“Why not? You’re the one who wants to commit suicide. Neither did I rob you or murder you. No one can judge me for the things I said as I did no one wrong.” Amelia Winters inched closer and warned, “The world doesn’t revolve around you, Amelia Hutton. You’re not that important. And don’t you dare make me feel inferior to you or tell me I’m not compatible with Oscar. I might have been inferior to you seven or eight years ago, but I’m the official Mrs. Clinton now. As the years went by, I improved my demeanor and became a better person. In fact, I’m a much better person than you now.”

Amelia Winters’ intimidating aura caused Amelia Hutton to stagger backward. A hint of fear flashed across the latter’s eyes, but she steadied herself and took a few steps forward.

Amelia Winters let out a mirthless laugh and said, “Amelia, you’re from the Hutton family, so the world is your oyster. Since there are many highly-qualified bachelors and entrepreneurs out there for you to choose from, why must you set your eyes on someone’s husband? Don’t do something you might regret. You might end up losing more than you gain.”

She then walked past Amelia Hutton and left.

As Amelia Winters walked away, Amelia Hutton glared at her back and swore she would one day snatch Oscar over. Since we both look alike, I’m sure I can take her down. Besides, I have the looks, come from a prominent family, and am highly educated. Oscar will fall for me for sure.

Amelia Hutton reckoned it would be an uphill battle, but she was ready for it. The more challenging it is, the more accomplished I would feel when I capture his heart.
