Too Much to Bear, My Love - Season 1 Episode 48

Casting an odd look at him, Amelia stated, “Mr. Clinton, you’re crossing the line. We agreed on not interfering in each other’s work matters.”

“Your training in Saspiuburg must be just an excuse. What you actually want to do is to spend all day with that man. Amelia, do you think I’m stupid?”

Gazing at him coldly, Amelia said, “I love money but I’m not as lowly as you think I am. Please watch your words.”

“Amelia, you’re just a woman selling your body. Why are you putting yourself on the moral high ground?”

Hearing his words, Amelia paled.

“Since you think of me like that, why are you getting angry? If there isn’t anything else, I’ll shower first. I need to get rid of all this sweat.” With that said, Amelia spun around and went upstairs.

Oscar stared at her with frustration flashing past his eyes.

They used to be on good terms but he did not know when their relationship had turned as tense as this.

After Amelia entered the bedroom, she collapsed against the door as her legs weakened. For a moment, she thought she would be unable to support her pregnant body.

After leaning against the door for five minutes, Amelia finally took out a change of clothes and entered the bathroom. Once she was done with her hot shower, she felt more refreshed, and the gloominess in her heart slowly faded away.

Raising her hand to touch her belly, she lovingly muttered, “Sweetheart, don’t be scared. Even if your daddy doesn’t want us anymore, I’ll raise you into an adorable prince or a sweet princess. I’ll never let anyone hurt you.”

Abruptly, someone knocked thrice on the bathroom door. Oscar’s voice came from behind the door. “Are you done?”

After recollecting herself, Amelia opened the door and smiled at him. “Mr. Clinton, are you using the bathroom?”

Instead of replying to her question, Oscar looked at her and asked, “You’re not angry anymore?”

Amelia’s grin widened. “Was I ever angry?”

When he raised his hand to childishly pinched her face roughly, she yelped in pain.

Holding onto her cheek, she was sure that her face must have bruised. He must be some stray dog in his past life to be acting so rough.

“Are you a dog?” Amelia glared at him.

“If I were a dog, the first person I’ll bite to death would be you.”

“Mr. Clinton, regardless of everything, we’re still husband and wife. You don’t need to be that ruthless, do you?”

glared daggers

“Amelia, if you have some shame and wits left in you, get lost. Stop clinging to the Clintons for their status and wealth. Don’t you think you’re like a clown?”

“Ms. Yard, those are the words I was going to say to you,” Amelia answered. “Aren’t you a mistress trying to gain wealth and status? However, unlike me, you come from a wealthy family. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll humiliate your family?”

It seemed like Amelia had hit her sore point as Cassie snarled, “Amelia, stop calling me a mistress! I was the first to know Oz and we were nearly married. You’re the third wheel in our relationship!”

Amelia scoffed, “You’re a pianist, Ms. Yard. You’re famous, talented, and sophisticated, but you don’t filter your words. I’m starting to wonder if you know the law. Oscar and I have a marriage certificate, and a married couple’s assets are protected by the law. Why am I suddenly the third wheel? Ms. Yard, why don’t you explain to me?”

Giving her a stony look, Cassie warned, “Stop pushing your luck, Amelia Winters.”

At that, a loud laugh escaped Amelia.

“You are hilarious. I’m pushing my luck? It’s more like you’re pushing your luck.” Folding her arms, Amelia continued, “A question for you, Ms. Yard. You chose to ditch the wedding back then. Why are you back now? What do you love about Oscar?”

Amelia’s questions stumped Cassie.

“Another question for you. If the Clinton Corporations encounter a financial crisis, will you go through the tough times with him? You seem like a delicate flower.”

Cassie froze for a second. “You need not worry about that for me. Didn’t you marry Oz because of money back then? The Clintons and the Yards are families of equal status. Even if the Clintons have a financial crisis, the Yards will lend a helping hand. My parents only have one daughter; they can’t bear to see me suffer. That’s why your hypothetical situation will never come true.”

Shrugging, Amelia responded, “You can think of it as me being too worried. But you haven’t answered this: what is your aim for clinging to Oscar after your abrupt return? Don’t tell me it’s because of love. Oscar only believes in that answer because he’s in love with you. On the other hand, I’m not stupid.”

“I’m back because I love him. He loves me, too. You’ve been Mrs. Clinton for too long now; isn’t it time for you to leave the title behind?”

“What if I say no?”

Cassie confidently laughed. “I’m afraid this isn’t up to you. Oz promised me yesterday that he’ll divorce you as soon as possible, and he never lies to me.”

“I’m afraid I have to disappoint you, Ms. Yard. Just a moment ago, I asked him if he’s going to divorce me, and he told me that he hasn’t made up his mind. So I’m still Mrs. Clinton while you can only be a mistress,” Amelia crowed.

With colors draining from her face, Cassie seethed, “That’s impossible. Oz loves me! If he tells me he’s marrying me, he will.”

Amelia raised her brows and shrugged. “Maybe he was completely captivated by you four years ago, but your escape from your marriage turned him into the laughingstock of the upper-class society. Do you think a man can bear with that humiliation? If I were he, I would be kind just by not taking revenge on you. Hence, let me advise you—don’t think too highly of yourself.”

Hearing her words, Cassie began to tremble from agitation.

“I did it for my future back then, and Oz will understand it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited for me for four years.”

“Ms. Yard, are you sure that Oscar waited for you for four years? Why am I his wife, then?”
