Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 228
Chapter 228 The Gentleman
As soon as Stephanie returned to her room, she stopped ying the victim and returned to her usual
vicious self.
She stood next to the window and reached for her phone to make a call. Once the person on the other
end picked up the call, she said, “Cassie, I’m already home. My parents couldn’t stand it as they
thought others almost took advantage of me. I’ll definitely get rid of Amelia this time.”
Cassie, who was on the other end of the call, pretended as though she was thrilled on Stephanie’s
behalf. “Congrattions! As long as you’re willing to turn over a new leaf, Amelia will never be a match
for you! I’ll get you everything you want as soon as I be your sister-inw!”
Ha! It seems like Cassie still thinks she’s able to manipte me to do her biddings, huh?
After spending a few weeks away from home, Stephanie was no longer the foolish young woman she
used to be. She knew she was just a nobody without the Clintons. Therefore, the only thing she had in
mind was to get rid of Amelia. Otherwise, she wouldn’t get to enjoy her privileges as the heiress of the
Clintons.
I’m no longer a na?ve woman after mingling with people from all walks of life over the past few weeks!
The thing that frightens me the most is being disposed of by the Clintons! I’m just a nobody without the
backing of the family! In other words, I need to get rid of Amelia as soon as possible! Once I get rid of
her, I’m sure everyone is going to appreciate my presence again!
I can’t afford to offend Oscar anymore! At the end of the day, Oscar is the one Dad and Mom rely on! In
other words, to gain Oscar’s attention, I have to get rid of Amelia!
As Stephanie lost herself in a train of thought, Cassie asked, “Stephanie, are you still on the line?”N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Stephanie finally snapped out of her imagination and asked, “Yes?”
“Stephanie, since you have made your way back to the Clintons, get your hands on Amelia’s phone to
get in touch with Carter. If you tell him she’s having it tough with the Clintons, he’ll definitely try his best
to visit Amelia in person! Once he shows up, use her of having an affair with Carter! There’s no way
he’s going to tolerate her anymore if you show him their photos!”
Stephanie responded to Cassie’s n with a smirk as she was well aware Cassie considered her
nothing more than her minion.
As Stephanie had nothing to lose, she remarked in a sarcastic manner, “I’ll execute the n once the
timees, but I don’t think Oscar still has a thing for you. I’m afraid you won’t get to be a household
member of the Clintons even if Amelia is no longer around.”
After two minutes of silence, Cassie queried, “Stephanie, what exactly do you mean?”
“Well, I’m afraid you’re going to waste your time for nothing. Thus, I’m just trying to give you a heads-
up. After all, you were one of the masterminds behind the ident. You don’t think Oscar is going to
ept you if he’s aware of the truth, do you?”
“Have you betrayed me?” Cassie asked in a callous tone.
“Cassie, you need to stop ming me when I’m just trying to defend myself! I’m sure you know Oscar
better than me! No one dares offend him whenever he’s frustrated for real!”
The woman on the other end went dead silent once again. A few momentster, she said, “Stephanie,
have you forgotten we’re on the same boat? Don’t you think you’re going overboard? If it weren’t
because of me, you wouldn’t get to make your way back to the Clintons so soon.”
Stephanie scowled at Cassie’s reply and replied in a sarcastic manner, “You’re not mad at me, aren’t
you? Although we’re allies, I won’t forget the time you have turned me down when I was in desperate
need of cash. Never will I forget the humiliation you have put me through.”
Simrly, Cassie burst outughing as a result of extreme frustration.
When she figured out Stephanie was nothing but an ungrateful and greedy woman, she asked in a
rhetorical manner, “Are you picking on me when I have been supporting you over the past few weeks?
None of your so-called friends bothered to offer you any help! On the contrary, I got you everything you
need, including amodation and a stable source of ie! You don’t think I’m going to do just
anyone a simr favor, do you?”
“Am I supposed to express my gratitude when I can’t even buy myself a bag with your so-called stable
source of ie?”
Cassie was at a loss for words to defend herself as Stephanie wouldn’t stop taking things for granted.
She thought everyone was obliged to ce her over themselves.
“Stephanie, shall we cut the crap? Just bear in mind we’re on the same boat! Once you drive them
apart from one another, I’ll get them to file for divorce! Just wait and see if I’m going to be your sister-in-
law in the future!”
Immediately after she wrapped up their conversation, the frustrated Cassie hung up the call.
Stephanie cast her phone aside and stretched her limbs on the spacious bed. She caught a whiff of the
familiar scent and thought it felt great to be back after such a long time. “I’m finally back! I’ll ensure you
that I won’t leave this ce anymore! Amelia, just you wait and see! It’s only a matter of time until I get
rid of you!”
Instead of reflecting upon her actions, Stephanie held Amelia ountable for her misery over the past
few weeks. She thought nothing could get in hervish lifestyle had Amelia stayed away from her
brother and her family.
Meanwhile, Oscar approached the upied Amelia from behind and wrapped his arms around her
waist. He asked, “Are you angry?”
Startled by his presence, Amelia felt her limbs turning stiff. She had her eyes glued to their son and
announced, “I’m fine. It’s something worth celebrating since your sister is finally home again.”
Oscar pursed Amelia’s ears and instructed in a hushed voice, “Since our son has fallen asleep, can
you turn around and look at me?”
After much hesitation, Amelia turned around as instructed and looked at him in the eyes.
He sized her up and suggested, “Amelia, if you’re really against the idea of being around Stephanie,
we’ll move back to our apartment in the city. Dad and Mom won’t banish her for life since she’s still their
sweetheart. You don’t have to worry about Dad and Mom. I’m sure they won’t mind at all.”
Amelia remained silent and looked elsewhere to avoid his gaze. He lifted her chin and kissed her on
the lips.
“I’ll take that silence means yes. You need to stop overthinking things and just stay away from the
people you don’t wish to be around them. I’ll get the maids to get our stuff packed tomorrow.”
Amelia wrapped her arms around Oscar’s waist and leaned against him on the chest.
All of a sudden, Oscar suggested, “I’ll get the maid to bring our son to the nursery room.”
Amelia vigorously shook her head and insisted, “He’s spending the night with us! I’m afraid that lunatic
sister of yours is going to try something silly and take out our son! Please forgive me for being harsh
with my words, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. I just can’t bear to put our son’s life at stake.”
Her husband caressed her back and asserted, “Alright, he’ll be spending the night with us.”
Heaving a sigh of relief, she requested, “I wish to get Kurt to keep an eye on our son! It just doesn’t feel
safe to leave him alone, unattended when we’re not around!”
Oscar kissed her on the forehead and announced, “That won’t be an issue, but he’s not allowed to
make his way into our room. It’s quite a serious offense if he barges in without our consent.”
Amelia looked at him in the eyes and requested, “I think Tony enjoys having Kurt around him as well.
Whenever Kurt’s around, Tony won’t make a fuss. Therefore, I wish to get him to be our son’s nanny. I
think he’s the perfect candidate for the job.”
Oscar was jealous when he heard Ameliaplimenting another man in front of him. He asked, “Does
that mean you think highly of him?”
Unaware of the things he had in mind, she nodded and added without a second thought, “Kurt is a man
of a few words, but it feels safe having him around. It’s obvious he’s a reliable man. I’m sure his wife is
going to live a blissful life with him in the future.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she could feel herself in the air. By the time she returned to her
senses, she noticed she had ended up on the bed with Oscar on top of her.
He bit her lips as a form of punishment. “Consider this a punishment forplimenting another man in
front of me. If you don’t stopplimenting him, I’ll dispatch him to another region.”
Amelia rolled her eyes and burst outughing when she heard him. She ran her fingers across his
handsome face and asked, “Didn’t you sent him to keep me safe? Why are you jealous out of the
blue?”
Oscar was at a loss for words to defend himself. In order to divert her attention, he grasped Amelia’s
hand and bit her fingers. He announced in a domineering manner, “You’re only allowed to praise this
exceptional husband of yours in the future!”
She beamed in satisfaction because the fact he was jealous indicated he still cared about her.
Oscar, who had his eyes glued to his wife, couldn’t suppress his urge anymore. He leaned over and
kissed her on the lips. A few secondster, he inched away from her as he recalled she was in the
middle of recovery. He was against the idea of putting her at risk since they had all the time they
needed in the future. Had he failed to exercise caution, he would end up bearing the consequences of
his actions.
Oscar covered Amelia’s eyes with his hands and instructed, “You need to stop looking at me in that
manner.”
Amelia was overwhelmed by a heartwarming sensation to the point the fact Shermaine had returned no
longer seemed to matter.
A short whileter, Oscar made his way to the bathroom and turned on the tap to take a shower.
Amelia brought herself up and stared in the direction of the bathroom. No longer in a foul mood, she
responded with a smirk.
