Amelia pouted as she tried to leave Oscar’s embrace, only to be held even more tightly. “Don’t move. Let me hold you for a while. I feel like I haven’t done this for a long time.”

The woman obeyed and kept still.

“What are you doing by the window at this hour? It’s cold at night. You might catch a cold.”

“Would it even upset you if I caught a cold, Mr. Clinton?”

“Why wouldn’t I? You’re my woman.”

“You have plenty of women. I’m probably not the only one you’d feel upset for,” Amelia continued calmly.

 

“You sound so bitter. You’re actually jealous, huh?”

Amelia remained in his arms, saying nothing more.

 

All of a sudden, Oscar felt especially upset to see the usually cheerful and captivating Amelia Winters behave this way.

Amelia was usually so strong and independent that it seemed as though she could face everything even without a man by her side. Yet, the woman now looked so fragile. Perhaps, she was not as strong as one thought. Despite always performing well, she still needed a man’s shoulder to lean on in the face of crisis.

Oscar bent over to pick her up and placed her on the bed. “It’s late. Let’s go to sleep.”

Amelia grabbed him by the hand. “Please, Mr. Clinton. If you’re not serious about me, don’t treat me so well. If you do, I might not want to leave by the time we get divorced.”

Oscar merely stared at her.

The woman instinctively avoided his gaze. “I’m serious, Mr. Clinton. If you have no intention of marrying me, please don’t be kind to me. This is for both our sake.”

“And what if I want to?”

Amelia gazed at him in confusion.

Oscar then covered her eyes with his hand. “Sleep. Don’t think too much. As long as you remain as my woman even for another day, I’ll make sure you don’t suffer.”

But you’re the one making me suffer the most, Amelia lamented internally.

Still, she fell asleep quickly, perhaps because Oscar was by her side.

By the time Amelia woke up the next day, Oscar had already left. The woman couldn’t deny that she was disappointed, but she quickly kept her feelings away.

She walked into the bathroom and did some packing, thinking of leaving the hospital on her own. Yet, Tiffany suddenly entered and was instantly livid to find Amelia on her own. “Babe! Where is he?”

Amelia didn’t know how to respond for a moment. “Who?”
