Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 236 Resolving A Misunderstanding

“Oz, I didn’t think that you’d learn to lie just to please a woman who gave birth to your son. You weren’t like this before. I was happy when you spoke sweetly to me just now. But forget it, since you don’t want to hurt her for now, I’ll leave first. But the next time you call me to come here, can you not call her too?” Cassie said as she gave Oscar a disappointed look before leaving.

Yet, even after she left, Amelia still did not move from Oscar’s embrace.

Genuinely afraid that she would overthink, he quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. There’s really nothing between the two of us.”

However, she still remained silent for a long time.

Thus, he panicked. He was not afraid of getting into a fight with her but was afraid that she would be silent like she was then. Such a response was worse than if she showed her anger. After all, being angry showed that she still subconsciously wanted to be coaxed. However, silence meant she was giving him the cold shoulder.

Unable to stand the silence, he would rather she question him about what was going on.

He then wanted to reach out to lift her chin but did not expect that she would avoid his touch. Fortunately, she broke the silence then. “Let me lean on you for a while.”

However, her words made him feel heartbroken.

“It’s not what you think between Cassie and me. Really, I can explain,” he said gently.

“Carter and I are also not like what you saw in the photos. Your sister purposely did it. She stole my phone and sent flirtatious messages to him. He believed it and thought that you and I were only getting along on the surface. That’s why he rushed to the house and said he wanted me to divorce you, then inappropriately hugged me. Your sister took that photo then,” she explained muffledly.

Just then, Oscar’s gaze changed a little, which made him look oppressive as a result.

He took a deep breath and raised his hand to stroke her back, then whispered, “Didn’t I ask you to stay away from him? Why are you so disobedient and keep doing things that make me worried and angry?”

She looked at him, then slapped his hand away in anger. After breaking free from the embrace, she said, “You blame me, but you did it too, Mr. Clinton. You were acting all lovey-dovey with your former lover here. If I didn’t see that Ms. Yard was here when I was downstairs and hurried after her, what else would you two have done in the office?”

Since they had expressed their thoughts to each other, Amelia could finally say things that she wouldn’t have dared to before. Moreover, it was evident that they had grown closer to each other then.

Seeing her acting so threateningly, Oscar instead laughed as his mood improved all of a sudden.
