Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 696 A Sense Of Danger

“Oscar, your meeting is finally over,” Amelia commented with a warm smile as she shifted her attention toward Oscar from the secretary she was talking to a moment ago.

At the sight of Amelia, Oscar’s stony expression immediately gave way to a huge grin as he picked up his pace and made his way to her.

“What time did you arrive? It’s not six o’clock yet,” Oscar asked.

“Shane and I met up with an important client to discuss some details of the contract. After the meeting ended, he let me have the day off. I have nothing else to do, so I decided to come here and see you. This way, we can go home together once you get off work.” Amelia adjusted Oscar’s tie and brushed his suit with a smile. “You look incredibly handsome today. If you take any more of my breath away, I might faint on the spot. My hubby is so exceptional. I’m so proud of you.”

Amelia’s compliments made Oscar’s heart flutter. Beaming, he kept his eyes on Amelia, ignoring any other women around him. Naturally, he missed the resentment that filled Isabella’s gaze as the latter stared at them.

Caressing Amelia’s cheek adoringly, Oscar replied, “There are still some documents that I have to go through. You can go hang out and play some video games in my office first. We’ll go home together once I’m done.”

Amelia nodded.

“Hi, Amelia,” greeted Isabella as she stepped forward.

Turning her head toward the voice, Amelia noticed Isabella, causing her smile to falter slightly. “Oh, Ms. Walker. Nice to meet you,” Amelia responded politely.

“Please, call me Isabella. Since Aunt Olivia has taken me as a goddaughter, Oscar and I are practically siblings. That makes you my sister-in-law, so there is no need for such formalities.” Isabella flashed Amelia a huge grin, so natural that it almost seemed genuine.

Amelia merely smiled subtly in response without saying a word.

Isabella hugged her files closer to her chest. Her knuckles paled slightly at the force she was gripping her files with. “I’ll head downstairs first and stop bothering you two being all lovey-dovey. Don’t wanna be the third wheel.”

Amelia shot a discreet glance at Isabella. “You’re too kind, Ms. Walker,” she said in a polite tone.

Tossing a final glance at Amelia, Isabella left to wait for the elevator.

“Let’s go into my office,” suggested Oscar as he wrapped his arms around Amelia’s waist.

“You go ahead. I wanna walk around the building.” Completely disregarding the people around them, Amelia raised her heels and bit Oscar’s chin lightly with a smile.

“In that case, be careful. I’ll let you know once I’m done so we can leave together. I’ve asked Molly to prepare your favorite roast duck. She’s been preparing the dish for you since hours ago. Can’t wait to taste it together with you once we return.”

Amelia swallowed mischievously and teased, “Look at what you’ve done, Oscar. Now I’m hungry.”

Oscar patted her head dotingly in response.

“Hurry up and finish up your work!” urged Amelia. “I can’t wait to go back and eat the roast duck!”

Oscar retreated to his
