Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 893 Care To Explain Yourselves

Owen patted Oscar’s shoulder. “I know you had a problem with your sister, but she’s gone now. Be nice to Nolan. One day, your mother and I will grow old too. Have a proper talk with Amelia. I know she’s a kind and sensible woman.”

Oscar smiled faintly and did not say anything. After Stephanie’s funeral, Oscar talked to Amelia about adopting Nolan. The topic didn’t surprise her, but the first thing she thought about was Noah.

The Walker family was being oppressed by the Clinton family at that moment. Despite that, they remained powerful. It was unlikely the Clintons could successfully adopt Nolan if Noah decided to fight for the boy’s custody since he was his biological father.

“I don’t disagree with the idea of taking in Nolan as our child, Oscar. But Noah’s still alive. If he wants Nolan, we don’t have many chances of winning the lawsuit,” Amelia said.

“There’s nothing you need to fret about. I’ll handle this. No doubt the Walkers are like cats on hot bricks right now. They’ll be too busy dealing with their predicament. I believe Noah may use Nolan’s custody as leverage to convince me to spare their family. I’ll bait him to give up on Nolan on his own accord before delivering him a fatal blow,” Oscar said confidently.

His latest plan was to ensure the Walker family wouldn’t be able to rise again. Even if the Walker family were victorious in getting Nolan’s custody, he wouldn’t hesitate to strike them hard enough that they would no longer be able to rise again.

As the saying goes, mercy to one’s enemies is cruelty to oneself. There was no way he would allow his family to be harmed again.

Oscar had married and divorced Amelia twice, and he had no intention of increasing that number. No matter what happened, he would do his best to provide her with the best life possible.

“You didn’t have a hand in Stephanie’s death, right, Oscar?” Amelia thought about the situation and found Stephanie’s death odd. After all, Stephanie was the precious daughter of the Clinton family. It wouldn’t make sense for her to accompany ugly rich men for money unless someone was withholding her fortune.

“I only helped fan the flames. Whatever she did with those tycoons was her business. I gave her hundreds of thousands each year. If she had planned her finances well and had a proper job, she wouldn’t have died. She only has herself to blame for her death,” Oscar replied plainly.

Amelia knew that, of course. However, she still sympathized with Olivia’s sorrow. The older woman’s health wasn’t that great to begin with, so if it deteriorated because of Stephanie’s death, Amelia was afraid Oscar would feel guilty.

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Mom still has Tony and Nolan to take care of. Nothing will happen to her.” Oscar pulled Amelia into his embrace.

Patting her head, he continued, “I’m fine as long as you don’t think I’m so cruel that I drove my own sister to her death.” The notion of killing Stephanie had never crossed his mind. He just wanted to eliminate the possibility of her returning to the country. It never occurred to him that she would stoop so low.

He firmly believed her death was brought forth by her own hands. However, she was still his sister, so her death still affected him in some way.
