Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 173

Olivia huffed at her son. “Oscar, the Yards have personally come to us demanding answers. Do you really think you can handle this on your own?”

Upon that, Oscar nodded.

“I have no doubts about your ability when it comes to running a business, Oscar. But you’re indecisive when it comes to matters of the heart. You’ve already hurt two women because of that, and that’s something I can’t approve of.”

After a slight pause, Olivia continued, “I have two reasons for wanting you and Amelia to go to Anglandur. First, it’s to stop the Yard family from harassing you. Second, it’s to ensure Amelia’s safety. Knowing what Elizabeth is capable of, Amelia won’t be safe here unless she has round-the-clock security. That’s why we’ve decided it’d be better for the two of you to be in Anglandur.”

Oscar drank his tea in one gulp before slamming his cup on the table in frustration.

On the other hand, Owen looked at his son and said calmly, “Oscar, listen to your mother. Go to Anglandur with Amelia. Once she’s had the baby, we will go visit.”

Oscar clasped his hands together in contemplation, his expression grave. He understood his parents only had his best interests at heart, but he still couldn’t shirk his responsibility.

“Dad, Mom, I can’t go along with your plan. Cassie did hurt herself because of me, so I can’t leave her behind. I’m sure you wouldn’t want others to think your son is an irresponsible coward, would you?”

Owen and Olivia held each other’s gaze. Finally, Owen spoke up, “You really don’t wish to go to Anglandur?”

Oscar shook his head.

Olivia sighed deeply. “Oscar, I don’t care how you feel about Cassie and Amelia. But please don’t forget that Amelia is your wife, and she’s pregnant with your child. Your father and I have been looking forward to a grandchild for so long that if anything happens to either of them, don’t blame me for disowning you. I won’t force you to go to Anglandur, but you have to make sure Amelia will be safe.”

Oscar frowned as he pondered. “I know, Mom. I will protect her,” he reassured.

Standing up from her seat, Olivia sighed again. “Oscar, I’m very disappointed at the way you’ve conducted yourself these past months. I never thought you’d have an extramarital affair and get yourself entangled between two women. Regardless of the outcome, there will always be a loser in this situation. I’ve always been very proud of you, but your infidelity and irresponsibility have upset me greatly. I hope you’ll reflect on yourself.”

With that said, Olivia made her way upstairs, leaving Oscar with Owen.

Owen felt a little sorry for his son but knew that he was still in the wrong. He walked over to Oscar and patted his shoulders. “Oscar, the men in the Clinton family never let their wives cry. But you have, again and again. Even I have to admit that you’ve gone overboard this time, so don’t blame your mother for being harsh.”
