Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 241

Chapter 241 The Walker Family

Oscar took Stephanie along and headed back to the Clinton residence. Getting the car parked, he turned to look at her, who had already fallen asleep at the back seat. “We’ve reached. Wake up now.”

Stephanie pulled herself up, tidied her creased dress, and exhaustedly said, “We’ve reached?”

Oscar glanced at her and replied, “Don’t expose yourself after getting down the car.”

Stephanie nodded.

She did not look too well, and even thick makeup could not cover her pale complexion. Besides, her voice sounded somewhat weak since her whole body was aching so badly.

Getting out of the car, Oscar could not help but reprimand Stephanie after seeing her still looking extremely lethargic. “Get yourself together!”

Stephanie did not dare to go against him again.

Olivia was carrying onto Tony and chatting with Owen when the siblings stepped foot into the living room. Upon seeing them, Olivia hurriedly said, “You’re back? Perfect timing. The Walker family will be here soon.” She then waved to Stephanie and continued, “Stephanie, come over here. I want to talk to you.”

Pretending like she was perfectly normal, Stephanie straightened her back, walked over, and chose a spot quite near to Olivia to sit down. “Mom, what is it?”

The observant Olivia cast her a glance and questioned, “What’s wrong with you? You don’t look too good.”

Instinctively, Stephanie looked at Oscar and answered in fear, “I’m fine, Mom. There’s nothing wrong with me. I’m just hungry and thinking about what dishes the cook will be preparing today.”

Olivia was not convinced and shot a glance at Oscar as she whispered, “Are you two in a conflict?”

Stephanie shook her head. “Mom, I’m fine. Don’t overthink. Oh yeah, I heard from Oscar that you’re finding me a partner. Who’s that? You know I’ve very high expectations; I won’t be interested if he’s not handsome or rich. Don’t blame me for showing him attitude later.”

Olivia smiled. As she was cajoling Tony in her arms, she said, “You don’t have to worry about that. You’ve seen Noah before. You guys used to be playmates but got separated because his family migrated to Anglandur. They’ve returned two days ago, and Mr. Walker mentioned that Noah has intentions to advance his career here. I thought it’d be great to introduce this fine young man to you, so please behave and put on your best performance later. You got it?”

Even though Stephanie put on a smile and looked like an obedient daughter, her mind had long wandered far away. There was no reason for her to get acquainted with good-looking guys through matchmaking at that point in time. Therefore, she had no intention of knowing who Noah was, and neither was she interested in getting to know him. All she wanted was to lie on her bed since she was aching all over.

Oscar’s brutal punishment methods were the cause of her pain. Every step she took felt so arduous, and the pain was so immense that she could feel it in every inch of her body.
