Stephanie paced back and forth in exasperation as she warned through her gritted teeth, “You’ll all regret when that woman really cheats.”

Ignoring her, Oscar continued to head outside. Then, he received a call from Cassie. Initially, he did not want to answer it, but she kept calling, so he had no choice but to accept the call.

“Oscar, I’ve just received some photos. Can you come over?”

The look in Oscar’s eyes changed into one filled with murderous intent.

“Wait for me. I’m coming over.” After that, Oscar hung up the phone and drove to Cassie’s place.

Cassie did not stay with the Clintons. Instead, she bought a big and cozy three-bedroom apartment in a neighborhood not far away from Oscar’s in the city center.

Taking the elevator, Oscar went to her unit and rang the doorbell. She soon opened the door and enthusiastically wrapped her arms around his neck. She tried to kiss him on the lips, but the latter dodged her, much to her surprise.

“What’s wrong, Oz?”

“Let’s talk inside.” Oscar went inside the apartment with her and shut the door behind him.

Cassie pinned him against the wall and looked at him with dreamy eyes, saying, “Oz, it’s been a few days since you last came. Our baby and I miss you a lot.”

After kissing her lips perfunctorily, Oscar patiently assured, “I’ll talk to the baby later. You told me over the phone that you received some photos. Where are they?”

Cassie gave him an aggrieved look.

“Oz, you wouldn’t have come over if I hadn’t mentioned the photos, would you? I gave up my bright future in another country for you, but your attitude toward me has grown cold. Don’t you love me anymore?” asked Cassie persistently, feeling wronged.

Oscar was slowly losing his patience as he had never thought that Cassie’s constant chatter would be so annoying.

Holding her in his arms, he tried to keep his cool while coaxing her, “You know that I only love you, Cassie. Don’t be ridiculous, and be a good girl, okay?”

Leaning into him, Cassie bit her lips with a glint in her eye and explained in an aggrieved tone, “I just love you too much, Oscar. My parents keep asking when I’ll marry you, and put a lot of pressure on me. I also feel very uneasy as you don’t give me an answer as well even though I’m already pregnant.”

“Don’t overthink it. You should know how I feel about you,” assured Oscar gently, his heart softening.

“I trust you, Oz.”

“That’s my girl!”

Pulling away, Cassie said, “Come with me, Oz. Let me show you some photos delivered to me this morning. There’s no sender’s name, so I don’t know whom they’re from.”
