Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 381 Happiness

After they entered the bedroom, Amelia pulled her hand away from Oscar’s. Taking a few chaotic steps back, she warned, “Oscar, don’t come over yet.”

The moment he felt his hand go empty, Oscar’s gaze darkened, as he had no idea what sort of nonsense was going through Amelia’s head again. Just a short while ago, the atmosphere in the living hall was amicable while Amelia behaved submissively. Even when faced with Eleanor’s questions, she had accorded him due respect. As such, he was now puzzled as to what had suddenly changed.

Did the two years create such a huge gulf between us?

“Amelia, what’s wrong?” Oscar asked patiently.

Taking a deep breath, Amelia tried to suppress the surge of emotions within her. “Oscar, we are already divorced. So, I hope you will stop going around saying things that will cause others to misunderstand. You are Tony’s dad, and I have no objections to you forming a relationship with him. As for the two of us, I hope you can keep your distance.”

Oscar smirked.

“Amelia, when I declared that you’re my wife just now, you didn’t deny it at all. So, why are you trying to draw a boundary between us now? You have to give me a reason,” Oscar demanded with his hands spread to the sides.

Taking a step back, Amelia thrust her chin into the air. Even though she couldn’t see, she didn’t want to show any weakness in front of him. This was despite the urge to throw herself into his arms and vent about how she had suffered for the last two years.

“Oscar, we are now divorced. Also, I have grown used to living without you for the last two years. Given that you’re the heir to the company, I don’t want to be involved with you anymore.” Shaking her head, Amelia contradicted her own feelings.

Suddenly, Oscar stepped forward and hugged her. Burying his head by her neck, he spoke with a suppressed tone. “Amelia, do you know how cruel you were to leave without saying a word? I was on the brink of going mad. I searched every city and even begged those that I never imagined I would, causing me to be indebted to many others. Now that I’ve found you, it’s all right if you don’t want to talk about the past, but how can you sever our relationship just like that? Do you even have a conscience? Because of you, I was hospitalized for a high fever and almost dropped dead from overwork. And now, you want me to stay away from you? I haven’t even held you accountable for leaving without saying a word. I’m not going to let you leave my side again for the rest of my life.”

In her attempt to free herself from his embrace, Amelia anxiously felt his cheeks, his nose, and his eyes. In fact, in her haste, she almost stabbed her finger into his eye.

To stop myself from being consumed by it, I buried myself in work, to the extent my staff thought that I had gone nuts. Every day, I would count myself lucky if I could get five hours of sleep. Without you by my side, I had to rely on sleeping pills instead. Sometimes, I would even be scared awake by a nightmare where you appear before me, drenched in blood. I was so worried that you
