Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 40

Cassie did not know what June was thinking about. After exiting the hotel, she closed her eyes to enjoy the breeze as she thought, June can still blackmail me. If he uploads it on the internet, not only will my reputation suffer, but I’m afraid Oscar won’t love me anymore.

No. I’ve spent far too long to finally know which man truly treats me well. Back then I was too young, and that’s why I betrayed Oscar once. Now, I won’t let Oscar go anymore.

The relationships she had with other men were not long-lasting; Oscar was the only one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. There was no way she was going to let Oscar go anymore.

After taking in a deep breath, she took out her phone to dial the number she memorized by heart. Once the call went through, she sobbed, “Oz, is that you? I’m feeling down. Can you come and keep me company for a while?”

To her surprise, Oscar was not the one who picked up the call; it was Amelia. “I’m sorry, Ms. Yard. I’m Amelia, his wife. I think you should call someone else if you’re feeling down. It’s best not to pine for a man with a wife. You’re from a wealthy family, so I’m sure no one in your family has taught you to become someone’s mistress, right?”

Cassie paled. As there was no one around her, she dropped the act. “Where’s Oscar? Why do you have his phone?”

Amelia chuckled. “Ms. Yard, that’s funny. Oscar’s my husband. If I don’t have his phone, who else would? Ms. Yard, if there’s nothing else—good day.”

“Get Oscar to pick up the call.”

“He’s in the shower.”

“Tell him about the call when he comes out.”

“Ms. Yard, are you drunk? Are you asking me, his wife, to ask her husband to call you? I think you’re a little too naive for your age, Ms. Yard.”

“Amelia, you’d better not push your luck. Don’t assume that I don’t know Oscar and you had a marital agreement. You’ll be divorcing him soon. Stop hoarding a title that doesn’t belong to you.”

“So what if it’s a marriage with a contract? I’m his wife right now. Once I’m pregnant with his baby, Ms. Yard, there’ll be no place for you in our family.”

Cassie’s expression darkened.

“Amelia, aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Oscar what you said?”

“The Ms. Yard I know likes to pretend to be innocent and weak, so I don’t think she’ll talk behind people’s backs. After all, she’s the kind who tries her best to leave a good impression on guys. No woman who likes to talk behind others’ backs will be liked by men.”

At that, Cassie ended the call.

Amelia stared at her dimming screen, a sneer emerging on her face. “How wild mistresses are nowadays. I can’t believe she’s actually confronting the actual wife and thinks she’s right. How shameless.”

Then, Amelia deleted the call history and leaned back against the headboard as she read her novel. When Oscar came out from the bathroom in a robe, she put down her book. Noticing how damp his hair was, she pulled open the drawer and took out a hairdryer.

“Come here. I’ll dry your hair for you.”

Hearing her, Oscar walked over.

As she dried his hair for him, she asked, “Mr. Clinton, you weren’t out today for business matters, were you?”

As he enjoyed her gentle actions, he replied truthfully, “I went to meet Cassie.”

“Mr. Clinton, you’re quite honest. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll feel upset hearing that?” Amelia murmured.
