Chapter 120 Our Marriage Is A Joke

“I treat it as a joke from the moment you said that this place is our home.”

Amelia’s eyes twinkled. “Mr. Clinton, I am sorry.”

Oscar strolled down promptly to her side, raised her chin, and cast her an intense gaze. “Is this all just a joke to you?”

Amelia was still avoiding to meet his eyes.

“Look at me,” Oscar demanded tyrannically.

At that, Amelia looked at him submissively, but he could still sense the stubbornness within her gaze.

“Why did you call our marriage a joke?” Oscar challenged aggressively.

Amelia persistently threw the question back at him. “Well, isn’t it?”

Right then, Oscar felt a raging flame within his chest, and his expression became tensed. “Why?”

For a moment, Amelia could not comprehend why he kept asking for an explanation.

“Was it that painful for you to be with me?” Oscar asked meekly.

Amelia glanced at him in astonishment. She seemed to trace some fragility in his voice.

Meanwhile, Oscar reached out his hand and held her chin with affection. “Amelia, all this while I’ve treated you sincerely as my wife. Am I not able to be your safe haven?”

Gaping back at him, Amelia suddenly sighed, “Mr. Clinton, even if you are my safe haven, I am not the only one in it. I mean, practically everyone wants a piece of Mr. Clinton! That’s why I said that this is all just a joke.”

Lost for words, Oscar continued to gaze at her intently.

Amelia avoided his gaze. “Mr. Clinton, you should leave. I’m a little tired and feel like going to bed now. So I won’t send you down.”

Oscar grabbed her hand and held her captive in his warm embrace. “Do you really want me to leave?”

Right at that moment, Amelia had become a little irritated. Since you have other women, why are you still pretending to be affectionate, trapping me in this sticky web? Maybe love is something you can spare easily, but I’m struggling endlessly all by myself in this deep, dark pit of despair.

Pushing him away, Amelia remarked in a distant tone. “Mr. Clinton, if you don’t like me, then don’t give me false hope. I can’t bear to live in such a lie.”

Oscar’s gaze turned deep in puzzlement. “Why are you kicking up a fuss?”
