Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Selfish

Elizabeth’s face contorted in anger. No matter what, Cassie was her daughter. There was no way she’d stand and watch Cassie getting hurt.

She took a deep breath and tamped down her anger. “Oscar, what do you mean by that?”

Oscar replied honestly, “I can’t marry Cassie for the time being.”

Elizabeth scoffed, “Oscar, you’re very honest. But you know that’s not what I want to hear.”

Oscar stepped back and gave her a deep bow. He straightened his back before explaining, “Mrs. Yard, I’m really sorry, but Amelia’s pregnant. I can’t let the child end up without a mother. Hence, it’s impossible for me to marry Cassie now.”

“You mean you want her to be your mistress forever?” Elizabeth demanded.

Oscar fell silent and glanced at her thoughtfully.

“Mrs. Yard, we won’t reach a consensus. As I said earlier, I hired a designer from Irushea to design Cassie’s wedding dress. If she didn’t suffer from a miscarriage, I would’ve proposed when her bump showed. But her miscarriage messed things up. Perhaps we aren’t fated to be.”

Elizabeth wasn’t as hot-headed as before. She inquired calmly, “Oscar, be frank with me. Are you not going to marry Cassie, ever?”

“Mrs. Yard, I can’t give you my word,” said Oscar. “Let’s just go along with the flow. If Cassie and I end up being husband and wife, that will be for the best. If we don’t end up together, I’ll think of her as my own sister. As long as Yard Group needs me, I’ll be of help.”

Oscar’s promise was important to the Yards.

He was a famous entrepreneur while Cassie was a talented musician. Even if she joined the board of directors, they’d treat her as an outsider. With Oscar’s help, things would be much smoother.

Still, Elizabeth wanted more for her daughter. Oscar was the perfect candidate to be her son-in-law.

“Oscar, Cassie relies on you a lot. You promised you’ll love her for the rest of your life,” Elizabeth remarked. “Look, you’ve changed in just a few months. Isn’t that too fast?”

Oscar couldn’t help but ask himself, Was I the one who changed too fast?

Emotions rippled through his heart, but he kept a cool front and explained, “Mrs. Yard, it was Cassie who dumped me back then. I can’t give her my word for now. But when something happens to her, I’ll be by her side.”

He’s right, thought Elizabeth.

Oscar isn’t Cassie’s only lover. She got pregnant with another man’s child. She might’ve lost that child, but that doesn’t change the fact that she had other lovers in the past.
