Love You Enough to Leave You

Right then, Oscar felt a raging flame within his chest, and his expression became tensed. “Why?” For a moment, Amelia could not comprehend why he kept asking for an explanation. “Was it that painful for you to be with me?” Oscar asked meekly. Amelia glanced at him in astonishment. She seemed to trace some fragility in his voice. Meanwhile, Oscar reached out his hand and held her chin with affection. “Amelia, all this while I’ve treated you sincerely as my wife. Am I not able to be your safe haven?” Gaping back at him, Amelia suddenly sighed, “Mr. Clinton, even if you are my safe haven, I am not the only one in it.

I mean, practically everyone wants a piece of Mr. Clinton! That’s why I said that this is all just a joke.” Lost for words, Oscar continued to gaze at her intently. Amelia avoided his gaze. “Mr. Clinton, you should leave. I’m a little tired and feel like going to bed now. So I won’t send you down.” Oscar grabbed her hand and held her captive in his warm embrace. “Do you really want me to leave?” Right at that moment, Amelia had become a little irritated. Since you have other women, why are you still pretending to be affectionate, trapping me in this sticky web?

Maybe love is something you can spare easily, but I’m struggling endlessly all by myself in this deep, dark pit of despair. Pushing him away, Amelia remarked in a distant tone. “Mr. Clinton, if you don’t like me, then don’t give me false hope. I can’t bear to live in such a lie.” Oscar’s gaze turned deep in puzzlement. “Why are you kicking up a fuss?” As soon as he said that, Amelia could feel bitterness welling up her heart. With that, she raised her head and vent in frustration. “Kicking up a fuss? No matter what I do, you’ll always think that I’m kicking up a fuss!” Oscar frowned. “Well, aren’t you?” Amelia wanted to shake off his hand, but Oscar’s grip tightened even more.

“Amelia, you’re biting off more than you can chew. Back when we signed the marriage papers, we agreed that I’d provide you with money, and you’d only need to be a good wife. But now, you are expecting a love that doesn’t belong to you.” Amelia felt as if a knife stab had through her heart that instant. The pain was so real that she could not bear it anymore. “I’m sorry if this made you uncomfortable.” Amelia calmed down and plastered a polite smile on her face. “Mr. Clinton, let me send you to the door. Wishing you and Ms. Yard a lifetime of love and happiness.”

Oscar looked at the screen and realized that it was a call from Cassie. Taking a deep breath, he answered the phone reluctantly. “Oz, it has been more than an hour. Where are you?” Cassie’s voice echoed from the other end. Oscar replied patiently, “I’ll head over

to outsiders, she was still a relatively considerate girl. Hence, he had never thought that she would be that possessive.

overthink things. You’re definitely more important to me than you think you are.” Without haste, Oscar walked out, leaving Amelia alone to digest those words he spitted out. Oscar, do you mean to tell me that I am more than just an employee? You truly think of me as your wife, right? Amelia smiled bitterly in her heart. Oscar, even if you think of me as your wife, I’m still nothing compared to Cassie. Naturally, Oscar did not

ward, Cassie’s initial pale face instantly shone with delight. “Oz, you are finally here. I miss you so much.” However, Elizabeth was apparently a little dissatisfied with Oscar’s late arrival. “Oscar, why did you come so late? Don’t you know Cassie needs you the

Cassie curled her lips unconvinced. Oscar deliberately changed the subject. “Mrs. Yard, have you eaten?” For some reason, his question truly pissed Elizabeth off. She stared at him with massive discontent. “Even Cassie has not yet had her meal. Do you think I

Oz?” Elizabeth could not be more dismayed to see her daughter being so clingy. But since Cassie was her only daughter, she tried to turn a blind eye toward it. “Oscar, you can stay with Cassie here. I’ve already asked our housemaid to prepare some food. She will be here in a while. And

I believe Oscar is a brilliant man, and I truly admire his capability. But

Mom, no matter how outstanding other men are, they can’t compare with Oscar. I gave up on him five years ago, and I regretted it. He is the only one that I want. Mom, if you don’t help me, I probably won’t ever get married.” Elizabeth jabbed Cassie’s forehead hard with her finger. “Why are you so stubborn? Yes, he’s a great guy from a prestigious family, but our family’s not too shabby either. So why do you have to cling onto him like a parasite? Are you trying
