Too Much to Bear, My Love - Season 2 Episode 14

Sad

Olivia took a few deep breaths. After calming herself down a little, she continued, “Oscar, you’ve disappointed me big time. You thrive in everything you do since young. You are exceptional among people of your age. Someone as outstanding as you should have many women eyeing you. Who would’ve thought that you would allow yourself to fall into the hands of a woman? Here I thought you’d learn your lesson by now, but you just have to let history repeats itself. Furthermore, the one responsible was the same person as before. Did you have a screw loose?”

Oscar flashed a wry smile as it was the first time Olivia reproached him. Sometimes he wondered if he was out of his mind. Surely he did not expect that his first two-timing would put the three of them into this awkward situation.

If Oscar could be certain that he did not touch Cassie from the start, would he feel wronged?

Not only was he scammed into becoming a father, but before he could carry his to-be-born baby, the doctor told him it was miscarried. For that reason, it gave the Yard family an excuse to make him take full responsibility for it. On top of that, he had to listen to his mother’s lecture. The man was put in a difficult situation.

Oscar turned the steering wheel and drove steadily. “Mom, I’ll take care of the matter with Amelia and Cassie. Please don’t get angry, it’ll be bad for your heart. If something were to happen to you, I would be condemned for murdering my mother.”

“If you saw me as your mother, you wouldn’t do something like this to get on nerves.” Olivia burst into anger as she spoke.

“Mom, I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Let’s calm down for now, okay?” Oscar assuaged. He was afraid that Olivia’s rage would affect her health.

Sitting in the passenger’s seat, Olivia kept her cool. Then she spoke in a gentle tone, “Oscar, you are a man now. I can’t decide things for you. Speaking from my experience, I honestly feel that Cassie doesn’t suit you. I don’t care if you just want to date her, but she is definitely not good wife material. I doubt that she’s a suitable candidate for one.”

As Oscar drove, his gaze became determined.

“Don’t you worry, Mom. I can balance their relationship wisely. Even if I were to divorce Amelia, I would take care of her and the child.”

“After all this, you still want to divorce her? Oscar, what are you thinking? Don’t tell me that you still can’t tell what kind of person she is after five years of marriage? Not only is she beautiful, but she also respects elders. Why won’t you cherish someone as good as her?”

Oscar remained silent the entire time.

Olivia, on the other hand, was brimmed with anger.

“That’s all I have to say. No matter what, I’ll never acknowledge your marriage with Cassie. I can welcome her as my goddaughter but not as a daughter-in-law. Sorry, but I can’t accept it.”

With his hands on the steering wheel, Oscar turned to glance at Olivia when the car came to a halt in front of the traffic light. “Mom, you used to be fond of Cassie. How can this be?”

“Five years is enough to change many things. Time changes people. You can’t make up for the lost time with effort alone.” Olivia remarked in a cold tone.

Oscar fell into silence, seemingly deep in thought.

“Oscar, Cassie really doesn’t suit you. There is more to her than meets the eye. She isn’t as innocent as she seems.” Olivia added.

“I know.”

She stared at him in surprise. “You know?”

“After seeing those photos previously, I hired someone to investigate her and found some pictures of her private life,” Oscar replied.

“What? You still want to marry her despite knowing that she is a loose woman?” Olivia couldn’t believe what she heard.

“While it’s true that she’s promiscuous, she gave her first time to me. I can’t be irresponsible toward her knowing that she offered me her precious virginity.”

“She gave you her chastity?” Olivia doubted his words. “Oscar, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Back when she was in Erihal, she was very close with a guy named June. They booked a room from the same hotel many times before. What can a man and a woman do there, chit-chatting in bed?”

Amelia held his neck with her arms firmly.

“Mr. Clinton, by giving me a bouquet of ninety-nine roses, are you implying that you’ll love me till the day you die?” she asked, with her eyes full of hope.

Oscar patted her head and shifted the subject. “Stop letting your imagination runs wild. No matter what’s the outcome, I’ll not mistreat you and the child.”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Amelia’s eyes. “Mr. Clinton, you still want to divorce me, right?”

Oscar did not say a word.

At that, Amelia’s eyes reddened. When she tried to get out of his embrace, he hugged her tighter than before.

“Don’t move. Let me hug you for a bit.” Oscar ordered, then he sniffed her neck.

Amelia obeyed him and stayed put. A myriad of emotions bombarded her.

He ran his fingers through her hair and queried, “Why are you so quiet?”

Amelia shook her head. She asked in a bitter tone, “Mr. Clinton, how long can these peaceful days be?”

“As long as you want them to be.”

At his words, Amelia flashed a bitter smile. “Is that so?”

Oscar let out a chuckle and remarked, “Don’t overthink things. You are pregnant now. Please be good.”

Amelia snuggled in his arms.

Oscar’s cellphone ringtone broke the silence in the room. Amelia lifted her head to look at him while he expressed his apology with his eyes. After that, he picked up the call.

Elizabeth’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Oscar, hurry up and come now. Cassie is emotionally unstable and began struggling the moment she is awake because you aren’t around. Blood is flowing out of the IV needle.”

Upon hearing that, Oscar’s expression changed. “Mrs. Yard, I’ll be there in a while. Please let Cassie answer the call.”

Soon, Cassie’s voice came from the other end. “Oz, didn’t you promise to stay with me in the hospital?”

Oscar replied in a gentle tone. “Cassie, please be good. I went back to get some clean clothes. I’ll be there in one hour. Your body is still weak. Don’t make a fuss. Wait for me.”

Cassie answered, “Oz, hurry and come now. I’m scared when you’re not around. I think I’m seeing something that looks like our unborn child covered in blood appearing in front of me.”

Oscar comforted her patiently, “Good girl. I’ll be there in no time. Listen to your parents. I’ll show up within an hour.”

“Okay. Oz, please come quickly. I’ll wait for you.”

After the call, Oscar looked at Amelia, but he did not expect her to avert his gaze. “Mr. Clinton, you are going to get some clean clothes, right? I’ll get them for you.”

Oscar clasped her and asked, “Are you angry?”

Amelia turned around and played a smile on her face. “Do you look like I’m angry to you?”

“Don’t force yourself to smile if you don’t feel like it. It’s ugly.” Oscar pinched her cheek as he spoke.
