Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 784

During the family gathering, Stephanie raised a glass of wine and said, "Amelia, I'd like to atone for what I did to you previously. I was really rude to you in the hospital a few days ago, but I've been reflecting on my actions these days, and I think I certainly need to apologize to you."

Amelia glanced at her, and at that moment, she could not seem to figure out Stephanie's next move. Stephanie is always so unpredictable, and she is always changing her mind.

“Don't mention it, Stephanie,” Amelia replied politely.

Still holding the glass, Stephanie added, "Amelia, if you could forgive me, please have this glass of wine with me."

Amelia would seem too ignorant and inconsiderate if she refused to drink the wine, especially when Olivia and Owen were watching her.

“Okay, I'll drink it." Amelia poured herself some wine, raised her head, and downed it in one go.

Stephanie let out a sigh in relief when she saw that.

Olivia tugged at Stephanie and said, "Stephanie, Amelia is a sensible person. Now that you're married and will soon become a mother, you can't be so rude to Amelia anymore, okay?"

Hearing that, Stephanie replied obediently, ”1 know,

Mom.”

Isabella followed suit and raised her glass, saying, "Oscar, Amelia, this is for you two. I caused you trouble because of the photo previously. I've been thinking a lot ever since Oscar kicked me out of the company. Then, I recalled how I used to follow Oscar around these three years and realized that I didn't spend much time on myself. I've thought things through now. Since Oscar isn't fond of me, it's pointless no matter how hard I try. It'd be better if I just let it go. I plan to start a company with the resources I have and run a business on my own. After that. I'll find a good match for myself. And now, I only wish both of you could forgive me."

Amelia glanced at Stephanie discreetly, but she could not fathom the intentions behind Stephanie's and Isabella's actions at that moment. However, Amelia believed that Stephanie and Isabella must be softening up Oscar and her for other ulterior motives.

Isabella had been holding the glass for quite a while, yet Oscar remained unmoving in his seat.

An awkward look slowly crept over Isabella's face, and she shot Olivia a look, seemingly asking for help.

Olivia cleared her throat and explained, "Oscar, Amelia, Isabella only did that out of kindness. Since she has already gone to this extent, if you two still make things difficult for her, it'll make her look bad."

Amelia pulled Oscar's arm, and he lifted his arm before looking back at her. Then, he stood up.

After finishing the wine, Isabella went to Olivia and Owen before sitting down.

"Aunt Olivia, the office opposite Mallowbrook Expo Square caught my eye. Not only is the surrounding environment decent, but the rental is cheap too. I plan to set up a network technology company there. Now, I only have to visit the International Trade Administration to settle all the formalities and documents and hire people who fit the roles, and I can start working right away," said Isabella as she enjoyed the food.

"The area around Mallowbrook Expo Square is a bustling place, and many of them set up their companies there. I agree with your decision to start your business there. This is your first time starting a business on your own, so you have my full support. How about this? You can seek Oscar's advice if there's anything you're unclear of,” Olivia suggested.

Isabella glanced at Oscar before flashing a smile. "That'd be great. I'm only worried that Oscar might not feel like entertaining me. I did so many mistakes in the past because of my affection for him. I guess he's annoyed by me, so I don't think he'd like to guide me."

Olivia merely responded with a grin before she pretended to continue eating.

The atmosphere during the meal was rather tense, but it was not that bad either.
