Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 281 Begging For Privacy

As soon as Amelia calmed down, she realized she had lost her composure and quickly tidied her hair. She then lowered her head and uttered, “I’m sorry. I lost my cool just now.”

Oscar looked at her warmly before pulling her into his arms. He rested his chin on her head as he said, “No matter what, you still have me.”

Amelia’s eyes reddened as she took in his manly scent. She knew that she was too attached to him, which was a bad sign.

When she had recollected herself, she broke away from his embrace and said while avoiding eye contact, “I’m fine now.”

Feeling the emptiness in his arms, Oscar’s gaze turned cold.

“I’ll go and check on Tony.” With that said, she hurriedly left the bedroom.

Oscar’s eyes darkened as he watched Amelia leave, his hands slowly clenched into fists.

He then left the bedroom. When he found Olivia, he pulled her outside and solemnly bowed to her before saying, “Our divorce is already a certainty, Mom. However, I promise her that she’ll be my wife again not long after. I hope you’ll respect my decision and not interfere with our marital affairs. Tony is still young, so it’s only right for him to follow his mother. I hope that you won’t put Amelia in a tight spot on purpose. The divorce is the result of our discussion.”

Olivia felt her chest clenching in anger.

“Do you know how ridiculous you sound now?” she asked with a nasty scowl.

With a straight posture and a hardened expression, he replied, “I’ve made up my mind, Mom.”

Olivia’s hands were trembling with anger. Her lips twitched several times before she finally found her voice. “I disagree, Oscar. I disapprove of the divorce. Tony is still young, and I won’t let him grow up in a single-parent environment. Our family has no tradition of divorce either.”

After a short pause, she continued, “When you brought Amelia to me back then, I said that you were both not compatible. But you still insisted on marrying her. At that time, I was afraid that Cassie’s departure would be too devastating for you, so I turned a blind eye. I told you before that once you’re married, you are not allowed to get a divorce. No matter how you fool around outside, you must return to your family. I’ve nothing against you having other women, but there’s no doubt that Amelia is the future lady of this household. Hence, I firmly disagree with the divorce.”

Oscar looked at his mother and suddenly turned meek. “I have my reasons for doing this, Mom. I’ve also mentioned before that Amelia will be back soon and you have my word for that. I’ve never been impulsive, so please let me be this time.”

His words made her even angrier.

“This is outrageous! How can you treat a divorce as if it’s child’s play.” Olivia waved a dismissive hand and added, “Say no more. I disagree with the divorce, and Tony must remain in the Clinton family. I cannot allow the first grandson of our family to grow up in the streets. Do you really think she can take him away? Over my dead body!”

After saying that, she entered the hall without sparing him another glance.

Oscar’s face darkened. He did not expect the gentle and soft-spoken Olivia to be so against the divorce. Seems like I’ve underestimated her views on marriage.
