Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Deliberate Intimacy

Stunned, Cassie looked up at Oscar. “Oscar?”

“Cassie, I’m going to have a child in a few months’ time. If you want to be mine, you have to accept my child,” stated Oscar firmly.

Cassie lowered her gaze as reluctance and hatred flashed across her eyes.

After a brief silence, she raised her head weakly. “Oz, can’t you let Amelia take care of the child? I lost mine because of her. There’s no way I can treat her child as my own. I’ll make sure she receives her alimony every month.”

Tamping down his irritation, Oscar flashed a grin in her direction. “You’re still weak. Hurry, close your eyes and sleep.”

Cassie took his head and weaved her fingers with his. “Oz, I went to Erihal years ago capriciously. I lost myself in the fun Erihal had to offer, but after one month, I missed you so much. I nearly rushed back, but Mom told me you had married someone else.” She bared her heart to him. “I was so unhappy and mad back then. You said you love me, but you married another woman swiftly after my departure. In a fit of anger, I remained in Erihal. I told myself that I’ll be fine alone. If I knew we’d miss each other for years, I would’ve returned immediately. I still love and miss you after all these years.”

Not a word came from Oscar’s lips.

He had investigated Cassie’s past in Erihal. Besides frequenting bars and nightclubs, she was involved intimately with a few men. She also often held parties in her rented apartment, spending the night partying and getting wasted with a bunch of people, like there was no tomorrow.

When the investigator handed him the report, he was caught by surprise. However, the report plus the photos given by Olivia confirmed one thing—he was tricked by Cassie’s innocent and kind appearance. She was, in fact, an avid partygoer who loved frequenting bars and nightclubs.

Oscar was known for his crafty side in the business world. Hence, he had not expected to be wrong about her.

After finding out Cassie’s real character, he gradually drifted away from her. He couldn’t accept the fact that she was merely putting up an act in front of him.

True to his word, he hired an Irushean designer to design a wedding dress for her. Nevertheless, Amelia was the one who popped up in his mind whenever he thought of the wedding proposal and the design for the dress.

He couldn’t stop himself from wondering how gorgeous Amelia would look in that dress.

Noticing Oscar wandering off, a flash of panic appeared in Cassie’s gaze. She struggled to sit up but accidentally jostled her wound. Immediately, she gasped in pain.

Snapping back to reality, Oscar took her arm. “What’s wrong? Did you jostle your wound?”

Grabbing his shoulders, Cassie gazed at him and uttered pitifully, “Oz, don’t leave me alone. It’s not that I don’t like kids. I just want one of our own. I can’t get over the fact that you and Amelia are married, so I refuse to let her child come between us. It’s like a thorn stuck in my throat which will hurt every time I breathe.”

Oscar helped her to lie down and told her, “Stop overthinking things. You just had surgery and lost your baby, so your body is still weak. You must be tired after talking for so long. Sleep now.”

Cassie blinked and asked, “Oz, can you hand me my phone?”
