Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 88
Stephanie paced back and forth in exasperation as she warned through her gritted teeth, “You’ll all
regret when that woman really cheats.”
Ignoring her, Oscar continued to head outside. Then, he received a call from Cassie. Initially, he did not
want to answer it, but she kept calling, so he had no choice but to ept the call.
“Oscar, I’ve just received some photos. Can youe over?”
The look in Oscar’s eyes changed into one filled with murderous intent.
“Wait for me. I’ming over.” After that, Oscar hung up the phone and drove to Cassie’s ce.
Cassie did not stay with the Clintons. Instead, she bought a big and cozy three-bedroom apartment in a
neighborhood not far away from Oscar’s in the city center.
Taking the elevator, Oscar went to her unit and rang the doorbell. She soon opened the door and
enthusiastically wrapped her arms around his neck. She tried to kiss him on the lips, but thetter
dodged her, much to her surprise.
“What’s wrong, Oz?”
“Let’s talk inside.” Oscar went inside the apartment with her and shut the door behind him.
Cassie pinned him against the wall and looked at him with dreamy eyes, saying, “Oz, it’s been a few
days since youst came. Our baby and I miss you a lot.”
After kissing her lips perfunctorily, Oscar patiently assured, “I’ll talk to the babyter. You told me over
the phone that you received some photos. Where are they?”
Cassie gave him an aggrieved look.
“Oz, you wouldn’t havee over if I hadn’t mentioned the photos, would you? I gave up my bright
future in another country for you, but your attitude toward me has grown cold. Don’t you love me
anymore?” asked Cassie persistently, feeling wronged.
Oscar was slowly losing his patience as he had never thought that Cassie’s constant chatter would be
so annoying.
Holding her in his arms, he tried to keep his cool while coaxing her, “You know that I only love you,
Cassie. Don’t be ridiculous, and be a good girl, okay?”
Leaning into him, Cassie bit her lips with a glint in her eye and exined in an aggrieved tone, “I just
love you too much, Oscar. My parents keep asking when I’ll marry you, and put a lot of pressure on me.
I also feel very uneasy as you don’t give me an answer as well even though I’m already pregnant.”
“Don’t overthink it. You should know how I feel about you,” assured Oscar gently, his heart softening.
“I trust you, Oz.”
“That’s my girl!”
Pulling away, Cassie said, “Come with me, Oz. Let me show you some photos delivered to me this
morning. There’s no sender’s name, so I don’t know whom they’re from.”
Oscar sat on the sofa with her.
Cassie then took out a yellow man envelope from the room and sat next to him, saying, “Oz, you’ll
probably get mad when you see the photos inside, but you must believe that I’ll always be by your side
and will never do something that will hurt you.”
Seeing the man envelope in her hand, Oscar was vexed.
“Take a look, Oz.” Cassie handed him the envelope.
Opening the envelope, Oscar emptied it and saw the photos, which, as expected, were of Amelia and
Carter.
Although he had a gloomy expression, he did not blow his top as Cassie had imagined.
“Aren’t you mad, Oz?” asked Cassie while giving him a puzzled look.
“Do you want me to?” Oscar asked instead.
Cassie gently took his arm and exined, “You’re my man, so of course, I hope that you’ll only feel
every emotion for me. However, Ms. Winters is going overboard. She’s your legal wife no matter what,
so shouldn’t she have some decency? If these photos are exposed, you’ll be ridiculed by people in high
society. I’m just indignant about what will happen to you.”
Pulling her into his arms, Oscar changed the subject, “I’m happy as long as I have you. What this
woman does has nothing to do with me. We’re going to divorce soon, so she can’t threaten your
status.”
Cassie smirked, feeling pleased.
“Oz, are you really not mad that she cheated on you? I feel sorry for you as you treat her so well, but
she still hooks up with another man. Do you want me to help you teach her a lesson?”
“Don’t mind her. She’s nothing but an insignificant woman. You should just take good care of yourself
and the baby. After divorcing her, I’ll hold a grand wedding with you and make you the prettiest bride in
the world.”
Smiling sweetly, Cassie leaned into his arms. “I’m relieved to hear you say so, Oz. I was afraid that
you’d really fall in love with Amelia and was going to dump me.”
“Cassie, did you hire someone to take these photos?” Oscar asked in a seemingly nonchnt tone
while holding her.
“Are you suspecting me, Oz?” Cassie looked up at him with a slightly hurtful expression.
Patting her on the head, Oscar replied in a gentle voice, “Silly girl, you’re thest person I’ll suspect. I’m
just asking. It’s good if you’re not the one behind it. But if you are, it’s fine too. No matter what you do,
you’re the most adorable to me.”
Cassie shed him a sweet smile. “Oz, it really wasn’t me. I thought of getting someone to take photos
of Ms. Winters too, but it remained a thought as I didn’t want to be misunderstood by you. Those
photos were really delivered to me by a courier. I don’t who the sender is, nor what purpose they have.”
After a brief pause, she added, “Oz, other than showing you the photos, I ask you toe over
because I want you to find out the person who took the photos and their purpose in doing so. I think
you should look into whether they’re targeting Ms. Winters or the Clintons.”
Bopping her on the nose, Oscar chuckled and asked, “You’re trying to be a good wife already even
when you haven’t be my wife, eh?”
Cassie smiled shyly as she replied, “I’m just concerned about you. Do you not want me to do so?”
“You’re imagining things again, aren’t you? You’re my woman. Who else do you want to show your
concern for if not me?” The affection in his eyes deepened.
Hitting his chest, Cassie refuted coquettishly, “Who are you calling your woman? You haven’t proposed
to me yet, so I’m still considering whether to marry you.”
Oscar pinched her nose and said with a smile, “Who else do you want to marry if not me?”
Cassie smiled sweetly, but she didn’t realize that there was a cold glint in Oscar’s eyes behind his
smile.
“Oz, let’s go grocery shoppingter. I’ll make you some good food,” Cassie proposed coyly as she held
his hand.
“I have some work to do at thepany, and I’ll get someone to send you some nutritious food at
noon. If you need to go to the team, don’t get too busy,” replied Oscar gently.
“Can you keep mepany today, Oz?” Cassie asked, disappointed that he was leaving.
Oscar stroked her face and exined with adoration, “Be good. I need to be present for a discussion
on a coborative project. Listen, I’ll take a few days off from work to apany you when I’m not so
busy.”
“I’m going for a prenatal checkupter in the afternoon. Aren’t you going with me?” Cassie asked
meekly, still feeling upset.
“Your checkup is this afternoon?” Oscar tried to keep cool.
Cassie nodded.
After thinking for a while, Oscar suggested, “I’lle to you after I’ve gotten things done at the
company, okay?”
Cassie stubbornly held his hand as she continued to persuade, “I don’t want you to go, Oz. Our baby is
very well-behaved every time you’re here, so I think he misses you. Living alone in such a big
apartment makes me feel lonely too sometimes, and I’ve turned down many jobs ever since I’ve gotten
pregnant. I just want you to spend some time with me. Can’t you even do this?”
Getting irritable deep down, Oscar repeated patiently, “Be good, Cassie. I’lle back and go for the
checkup with you in the afternoon.”
Left with no choice, Cassie could only agree to it.
After walking Oscar to the door, she reminded him like a good wife would, “Oz, although you’re busy,
don’t forget to have lunch. Skipping meals will hurt your stomach.”
“Alright. You should go back in. Take good care of yourself and the baby. I’ll get someone to send you
lunch,” Oscar replied affectionately.
Cassie shed him a sweet smile.
After walking out of the elevator, Oscar got into the car and made a call. After the call was picked up,
he instructed coldly, “Sam, check a parcel for me. I’ll send you the tracking number in a moment. I want
to know who the sender is.”
After the person on the other end of the phone gave him a reply, he said, “That’s it for now. Email me
after you’ve found the sender, and I’ll transfer the payment to your ount.”
Then, he hung up the phone and drove to hispany. When he reached, his secretary greeted him,
“Mr. Clinton, the delegation from Jardin Technologies has arrived and is waiting for you in the reception
room.”

Nodding, Oscar walked quickly to the reception room.
When he entered the room, the delegation from Jardin Technologies stood up and greeted, “Mr.
Clinton.”
Then, Oscar sat down at the head of the table with an expressionless face and said, “Take a seat.”
Afterward, the senior executives of Clinton Corporations and the main person in charge of Jardin
Technologies enter into negotiations. As both sides refused topromise, the negotiations went on
for several hours and had not even finished although it was nearly two in the afternoon. Therefore,
Oscar’s secretary went up to him and suggested, “Mr. Clinton, it’s almost two. Why don’t we continue
after lunch?”
ncing at his watch, he realized that it was ten to two, so he nodded in agreement. “Everyone, let’s
continue after lunch.”
The delegation from Jardin Technologies got up, whereas Oscar’s secretary announced with a graceful
smile, “Everyone, pleasee with me. I’ve asked the cafeteria to prepare food for you. It won’t take
you too much to grab a bite before continuing with the discussion.”
After everyone from Jardin Technologies left the room, Oscar took out his phone and called Cassie.
After the call was answered, he asked, “Have you eaten, Cassie?”
“Oz, didn’t you say that you’ll send me food? I only had a few biscuits at noon,” replied Cassie in an
aggrieved tone.
Frowning, Oscar patiently coaxed, “Sorry, I forgot about that as I was in a meeting just now. You should
order food delivery and eat first. Don’t starve yourself. I’ll go for the checkup with you in the afternoon
and then take you to have some nice food.”
“Okay. I’ll eat after this. Don’t overwork yourself, and remember to eat,” responded Cassie obediently.
“Okay. Take a nap after you eat. Don’t tire yourself out.”
After some small talk, Oscar hung up the phone.
Holding his phone, he walked to the window with a gloomy look on his face and stared out at the
scenery, seemingly lost in thought.
His secretary walked in, holding a lunch box in her hand, and said, “Mr. Clinton, I’ve prepared some
food for you. You should eat some.”
He turned around and replied, “Leave it there. I’ll eat it in a bit.”
