Too Much to Bear My Love

Amelia shook her head. “They’re all easy-going, and I feel comfortable working with them.”

“That’s good to hear. I wanted you to be my assistant, but I thought that would seem like I’m degrading you, so I sent you to the design department instead and transferred one of the talented employees there to the headquarters,” Carter explained.

Sincerely, Amelia expressed her gratitude. “Carter, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I haven’t designed for four years. Now that I get to design again, I’m thrilled. At least I know I still love design as much I did in the past.”

Carter shook his head and muttered, “I was the one who wronged you and Tiffany. If not for me back then, you wouldn’t have left. I should be the one to apologize to you.”

Hearing that, Amelia waved dismissively. “Let’s not talk about the past anymore. I don’t blame you for that. Back then, Tiff and I were too young; that’s why we were tricked. You’re too courteous to want to apologize.”

“All right, let’s talk about something else now.”

Carter sent her to the entrance of her residential area. Just as she stepped out of the car, Oscar also stopped his car.

The two of them came out of their respective vehicles at the same time. Oscar first glanced at Carter, who had come out as well, before turning to Amelia with a gloomy look.

“Amelia, didn’t you say you were at Tiffany’s?” Oscar gritted out.

Instead of answering him, Amelia turned to Carter and said, “Carter, thank you for sending me back. You can go ahead first. I’ll ride in with my husband.”

Carter nodded and gently reminded her, “Call me if there’s anything.”

She nodded.

After Carter left, Oscar’s expression turned as dark as ink. His next words sounded as though they had been squeezed through his teeth.

“Get on.”

Obediently, she boarded. The mood in the car was tense. Oscar was gloomy and Amelia was silent as she ruminated about Cassie’s words. Even after the two entered the house, they remained quiet and tense.

As he gave a rough pull at his tie, he glared at her and asked, “Shouldn’t you give me an explanation about Carter?”

With an insincere smile, Amelia replied, “Mr. Clinton, you didn’t give me an explanation about your night with Ms. Yard, either. My boss sent me home out of his kind heart. There’s nothing for me to explain about that.”

At that, Oscar gnashed his teeth. “You sent someone to follow me?”

She shrugged. “Mr. Clinton, there’s no way I would be interested to do that. Your sweetheart was simply afraid that my existence will threaten her place in your heart, so after sleeping with you, she used your phone to call me. In fact, she even told me she’s carrying your baby. Mr. Clinton, congratulations! You’re going to be a father soon. However, I won’t be visiting her when she gives birth to the baby. After all, it’s not appropriate for your ex-wife to visit her, is it?”

Snapping his brows together, Oscar hissed in disbelief, “Cassie called you?”

“You don’t believe me? I have call records.” Amelia then handed her phone to Oscar. On it was his number, showing that the call took place at almost nine in the morning. That was around the time they woke up.
