Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 54

Oscar’s gaze turned frosty. “Don’t you think you’re flattering yourself a little too much, Mr. Scott? I can look after my own woman just fine. There’s no need for you to meddle in our affairs.”

“If you were truly serious about Amelia, I wouldn’t have even thought about meddling, Mr. Clinton. But you already have another woman to care for. Don’t you know the true reason Amelia wants to go to Saspiuburg?”

Oscar froze slightly. He immediately guessed what was happening, for he was no fool. “She’s avoiding me?”

“I didn’t say that, but if that’s what you think, sure. I’ve like Amelia for many years now, and I’m not going to let her stay with a scumbag.”

Oscar crossed his arms. “Who do you think you are to say that?”

Carter’s face froze slightly as a hint of frustration flashed in his eyes for a brief moment. Then, the man quickly returned to his usual graceful self.

“I’m her friend, but it won’t be long until I become her husband. As for you, Mr. Clinton, your true love has come back, so stop telling your woman how much you love her while pretending like you can’t let Amelia go. You might enjoy putting on such an act, but I’m getting pretty tired of watching it.”

“You looked me up?” Oscar asked calmly.

“Know your enemy, and you’ll never be defeated—that’s how the saying goes, right?” Carter readily acknowledged. “Of course I have to look into whoever Amelia’s married to. I won’t interfere with her marriage if she’s truly happy, but I’ll take her away if she isn’t.”

Oscar snorted. “Quite the romantic, aren’t you, Mr. Scott? To think that the son of the prominent Scott family would willingly be a third wheel in someone else’s marriage! Don’t you think you’re embarrassing your own family?”

Carter’s expression remained unchanged.

He picked up his coffee and took two sips. “Amelia and I are just friends, and I won’t do anything dishonorable with her until she leaves her marriage. Besides, Amelia isn’t that kind of woman. She may look stunning, but she would never be unfaithful. The fact that you don’t know this truly makes me wonder how you even got to be her husband.”

Putting on an enlightened face, he continued, “Oh, I get it. You only care about your past love, whereas Amelia’s just an ornament. It’s no wonder you don’t know how pure she actually is.”

Oscar’s fingers moved slightly.

“What’s the point in saying all this, Mr. Scott? At the end of the day, I’m the one Amelia loves. In fact, she loves me even she knows I have someone else,” Oscar declared confidently.

The look on Carter’s face changed slightly as he cast Oscar a profound gaze. “You put so much effort in establishing trust at work, but who would’ve thought you’re such a despicable man when it comes to your personal affairs? Aren’t you worried about losing who you truly love one day?”

“If I could get two women to love me, I’m sure I can make sure they get along with each other. You don’t have to worry about this, Mr. Scott.”

Carter finally lost his cool, and he gritted his teeth. “Don’t you think you’re being such a scumbag, Mr. Clinton?”

“Well, whether or not I’m a scumbag has nothing to do with you, Mr. Scott. I came here only to ask you to cancel Amelia’s training in Saspiuburg, or I’ll personally give Mr. Abel Scott a call. I’m sure he’d do what he can to appease me.”

Carter narrowed his eyes. “You’re threatening me?”
