Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 855
Chapter 855 Suspicion
Because Isabe constantly brought up how aggrieved she was in front of Oscar, thetter insisted on
divorcing Amelia. There was no persuading him. Amelia could only agree to the divorce.
Olivia hugged Tony tightly as she said, “Amelia, I know Oscar has done wrong by you, but I can’t let
you take Tony. He is my most precious treasure. Without him, I cannot eat well, nor can I sleep
peacefully. Please don’t me me for this.”
Sucking in a long breath, Amelia promised, “Mom, I promise you I will bring Tony back safely. My
divorce from Oscar is only a temporary measure. I love him too much to let him be manipted by
such a sinister and cunning woman. I will make him recall who I am. Give me a year. I will return to
Oscar with a brand-new appearance.”
Olivia stared at her doubtfully. “But Amelia, where will you go?”
“Mr. Rice invited me overseas to further my studies, and I n to agree to his request. I will improve
myself so I have more opportunities to get closer to Oscar,” Amelia replied.
Olivia pondered for a moment before suggesting, “Why don’t you leave Tony here with me? I promise
no one will harm him with me by his side.”
“Mom, Tony is a bright and sensitive child. Oscar’s change in attitude is drastic. If I go overseas without
taking him with me, perhaps Tony won’t recognize me when I return. Being abandoned again will likely
leave scars on his heart. You love him the most. Are you really willing for him to be so unhappy at
such a young age?” Amelia was aware that Olivia cared about Tony the most. She knew that if she
approached the subject this way, Olivia was bound to give in.
As expected, Olivia fell silent.
Stroking Tony’s head, Olivia asked gently, “Tony, do you really n to follow your mother overseas and
not see me for a long time?”
Tony lifted his head and dered, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll think of you and call you daily. Wait for our
return. We’ll chase away the vixen clinging to Big Meanie then.”
Olivia caressed his cheek sadly, her heart aching.
Tony was so very young, yet he had undergone so much already. He was involved in a life-or-death car
ident before he was even born. Following that, his parents divorced, and he was brought to Beshya.
And now, Isabe had done something to his father, forcing Tony to have to leave the country once
more.
My dear grandchild, how can someone be so ill-fated?
“Okay, I’ll agree to it. But you muste back in a year, or I’ll miss you too much,” Oliviapromised.
Amelia watched the exchange between the grandparent and grandchild, a smile on her lips. However,
her mind was clouded with worry. I so confidently dered that I would take back Oscar when I
returned in a year, but so much could change within that period. The most crucial thing is, what if Oscar
really fails to remember me? Also, what if he got Isabe pregnant?
If Isabe bore a child, her rtionship with Oscar would be even messier. If that happened,
Amelia was not sure she would be able to snatch Oscar back.
Amelia was terrified that she would eventually be left with nothing.
Leaving Tony with Olivia, Amelia proceeded to negotiate the divorce terms with Alex. She was not
nning to say that she did not want anything like when they first divorced. Instead, she epted
everything Oscar allocated to her and even added a condition of her own—she wanted to have custody
of Tony.
Alex nodded. “Mrs. Clinton, as long as it’s not too absurd a request and you’re willing to sign the
divorce agreement, Mr. Clinton told us to agree to your conditions.”
Amelia looked at the divorce agreement ced before her in a daze.
Seeing that, Alex prompted her, “Mrs. Clinton, please sign here.”
That snapped Amelia back to her senses, and she hesitated for a brief moment before signing her
name.
She then handed the agreement over to Alex. “Mr. Feltham, I’ll leave it to you. Please help me pass a
message to Oscar. Tell him to take good care of himself. He mustn’t neglect his meals even if he’s busy
with work.”
Alex could not help but sigh silently upon hearing Amelia’s words. He had once been optimistic that
they were a dynamic power couple, but they ended up fighting and divorced within such a short period.
Perhaps true love did not exist between people from prominent families.
Amelia was unaware of the extent of Alex’s pity toward her. Standing up, she said, “Mr. Feltham, I’ll be
on my way if we’re done here.”
Alex also got to his feet. “Goodbye, Mrs. Clinton.”
“I’m no longer Mrs. Clinton; just call me Amelia.” Ameliaughed faintly.
Smiling in response, Alex saw her to the door.
Amelia departed from thewyers’ office and called Tiffany.
“Tiff, are you home?” Amelia asked as soon as the call connected.
“Yeah, I’m home. I just finished my manuscript and nned to take a nap. What’s up? Are you calling
me to invite me for a meal?” Tiffany yawned.
“I’m heading to your ce. Cook something for me, will you? I haven’t tasted your cooking in ages,”
Amelia replied moodily.
Tiffany’s perceptive senses told her something was off with Amelia. Concerned, she asked, “What’s
wrong? Are you unhappy?”
“I’ll fill you in when I arrive.”
After ending the call, Amelia drove to Tiffany’s ce.
“What? You and Oscar are divorced? When did this happen? Weren’t you happy together?” Tiffany was
beyond agitated.
Furrowing her brows, Amelia replied helplessly, “Tiff, keep it down. You’re giving me a headache.”
Tiffany was furious when she saw the state Amelia was in.
“You’d better exin yourself. What’s going on? You guys were getting along well. Why did you
suddenly divorce? Did Oscar do something unforgivable?” Tiffany demanded angrily.
Sighing, Amelia proceeded to exin everything that had happened.
Tiffany’s face contorted with rage when she heard the story.
“Isabe, that d*mned woman! How could she do something as shameless as breaking up someone
else’s marriage? She’ll get what she deserves someday,” Tiffany scolded. When she saw Amelia’s
dismal mood, she asked softly, “Babe, did Oscar really not recognize you?”
Amelia nodded and bowed her head. The next second, a tear rolled down her cheek. It was followed by
a second, then a third as she began to cry soundlessly.
Tiffany was shocked. She hurriedly lifted Amelia’s head before hugging her when she saw thetter’s
tear-drenched face. “There, there. I’m here for you. Look at me, all fine after my own divorce. You
divorced Oscar a few years ago. This time, you got to spend a year with him. I’d say this is a win for
you.”
Amelia continued to weep soundlessly.
At a loss for what to do, Tiffany did not have the words tofort her friend.
“Babe, don’t be like this. I don’t know what to do when you cry like this,” Tiffany consoled her clumsily.
Despite that, Amelia continued to cry silently as she had kept it all bottled up till now. Oscar was like an
entirely different person, which broke her heart to pieces. Nheless, she had been unable to reveal
her feelings in front of Olivia and the others. Tiffany was the only person that Amelia wasfortable
with showing her vulnerability.
Tiffany grew angrier as she watched the tears flow non-stop. “Babe, I’ll kill those two for you. I reckon
Oscar isn’t really under a spell by Isabe. He’s probably acting because he wants to abandon you and
your son. I can’t believe they’de up with such a wicked trick. I’ll expose them if that’s thest thing
I do!”
The more infuriated Tiffany was, the more certain she became that she spoke the truth. It was the
twenty-first century—the age of science. She did not believe in sorcery or ck magic. While she did
enjoy ready fantasy and suspense novels, in reality, she did not believe in such hocus-pocus.
Still, Amelia sobbed.
Tiffany propped Amelia on the sofa and stood up to leave, ready to confront Oscar. Grabbing her hand,
Amelia said, “Tiff, don’t. I’m okay.”
“How can you be okay when you’re practically bawling your eyes out?” Tiffany was exasperated.
Suddenly, she remembered Tony. “Where’s Tony? Please don’t tell me you gave up custody for him
when you signed the divorce agreement.”
Tiffany started pacing in the same spot as she went on, “No, I have to bring him back here. We’re both
divorcees, so there’s no way we can trust men anytime soon. Since they’re unreliable, we can’t lose
Tony too.”
Amelia grabbed Tiffany’s hand and said, “I have custody of Tony. I’m just letting Olivia watch over him
for now.”
“Are you daft? Olivia has always treasured Tony. What if she finds some excuse to hide him away since
you left him with her?” Tiffany grew even more agitated. Countless child abduction scenarios began to
y in her mind. “Come on! Let’s hurry to the Clinton residence and bring him back. You’re truly
hopeless. You kept quiet and endured being bullied for so many years.”
A warm feeling rose within Amelia’s heart. After all that had happened, at the very least, she still had a
staunch, true friend. If they relied on each other, they could ovee any difficulties.
Ameliaughed. “Tiff, calm down. Tony’s custody was given to me after I signed the agreement. We
can go to court if Oscar decides to go back on his word. Moreover, you know how much Olivia loves
Tony. She’ll always put him first, so she won’t let him lose both his parents. While she may be a selfish
person, she won’t do something bad to him. Don’t misunderstand her.”
Tiffany red at Amelia in frustration.
In the end, Amelia was still dragged to the Clinton residence by Tiffany.
When they stepped into the house, they witnessed Isabe peeling grapes for Oscar. Tiffany
immediately flew into a rage.
“Well, well, if it isn’t the professional mistress who shamelessly wrecked a marriage. They haven’t even
divorced, but I see you’ve already made yourself at home.” Tiffany sneered, crossing her arms before
her chest.
The hand that was holding the grape froze before Isabe stared at Oscar beseechingly.
Oscar swept a nce at Isabe and ordered the butler, “Send this rabid dog outside. Do not let stray
animals enter in the future.”
Tiffany scoffed in response.
“What a sharp tongue you have, Oscar. Then again, you’re able to suddenly change your mind and
divorce the wife you once cherished so deeply. It’s no wonder you’re not holding back when ites to
an outsider like me,” Tiffany mocked. The next moment, the expression on her face changed as she
said angrily, “Even if you’ve forgotten Amelia, you’ve left so many traces at your little love nest. Are you
blind? You have so many photos together. Can’t you see how deeply you love her from them? Your
condominium was also renovated to her tastes. Everything in there is to her preferences. Doesn’t that
seem suspicious to you? Are you going to say that you haven’t seen the photos and that you don’t
remember what she likes? All right. I have a ton of photos on my phone and hers. With so much
evidence before you, if you still refuse to believe us and prefer to trust a woman you hate to the core,
maybe there’s something wrong with your brain.”
When Oscar heard Tiffany’s words, something glimmered in his eyes.
Panic shed across Isabe’s eyes, and she subconsciously gripped Oscar’s arm.
“Oscar, Amelia forced you to take those photos. She said if you refused to take them with her, she was
going to abort the baby. Don’t trust that woman’s words!” Isabe insisted.
“Bullsh*t!” Tiffany cursed. “Oscar is in charge of thousands of employees at Clinton Corporations. Every
day, he deals with projects that are worth millions. He has a stronger resolve than most people. Do you
think someone like him could be threatened by Amelia? I don’t know what you did to him, but you’d
better not venture out alone. I’ll beat you up each time I see you. That’ll teach you toe between a
married couple. You’re disgusting!”
Oscar had initially been slightly doubtful, but when he heard Tiffany’s rude words, his expression
darkened. “Shut up.”
Tiffany instinctively closed her mouth.
“What are you still standing around for? Send them out!” Oscar ordered the butler.
Standing in front of Tiffany protectively, Amelia told the butler, “Please step away. Tiffany is a guest I
brought over.”
The butler was torn.
“Go on. I’ll handle the repercussions,” Amelia said softly.
The butler hesitated for a moment before nodding at Amelia. Turning to Oscar, he said, “Mr. Clinton, I’ll
be taking my leave.”
Oscar said nothing in response.
“Oscar, I apologize. Tiff was only looking out for me. You can go back to whatever you were doing with
Ms. Walker. We’re going upstairs to see Tony.” Amelia nodded politely at him before pulling Tiffany
upstairs.
Once they stepped onto the second floor, Tiffany shouted down angrily, “Oscar, I think you should
check your phone. It contains many pictures of you and Amelia. If you still think the woman beside you
is your true love after seeing those photos, I can only say you really are blind.”
Amelia tugged at Tiffany. Only then did thetter reluctantly close her mouth and follow Amelia into the
room.
Oscar lowered his gaze, seemingly deep in thought.
Isabe looked at him worriedly, afraid that he would begin to suspect something. The rtionship she
had schemed and stolen was one rife with many uncertainties. Thus, she was terrified that something
unexpected would ur.
When Oscar pulled out his phone, she stared at it intently, her eyes wide.
She hurriedly looked away after he nced at her, muttering, “Oscar, do you believe what Tiffany said?
That I’m lying to you?”
Oscar patted her face andughed. “Don’t overthink it. I’m only checking to see what’s on my phone.”
“Let me help you!” Isabelle offered.
Oscar looked at her with an unfathomable expression.
With that, Isabelle realized she had been too hasty. It was as Tiffany imed. Isabe had gotten
someone to hypnotize Oscar. However, she was not able to erase the traces of his life with Amelia.
Their love nest was filled with vestiges of Amelia. There were also a lot of photos of the couple on their
phones, WhatsApp, and other messaging apps. Only a blind person would not be able to see how
much the two loved each other. Isabe, as someone who stole his love, could never measure up.
“Oscar, I’m worried. You say that you love me, but you don’t trust my words. You’d rather trust the
photos. Have you fallen for Amelia?” Isabe implored with reddened eyes.
Oscar’s face darkened. “Isabe, is there something you’re worried about?”
Isabe’s expression froze. She could not even bring herself to cry.
Even after being hypnotized, he did not treat her with affection. When she desperately tried to seduce
him at night, he shrugged her off, iming that he had work to finish.
Their love was fabricated. Hence, Isabe felt guilty and would feel afraid whenever Oscar treated her
coldly.
“I’ll only take a brief look.” Oscar hid the unlock passcode from Isabe and tapped on the phone’s
photo album. It was filled with photos of him and Amelia—intimate ones. In each one, he was staring at
Amelia devotedly while thetter smiled sweetly. There were also several family photos. There was no
hint of reluctance on his face in any of the pictures.
Oscar furrowed his brows as he realized there was a discrepancy within his memories. The photos
were obviously not edited, so why did he have no recollection of taking these with Amelia? Instead, the
woman in his memories was Isabe.
From what he could remember, he and Isabe were very loving. He admitted that he loved her.
However, he did not feel a burning passion when he was with her.
So, what’s going on?
A feeling of unease rose in Isabe’s heart when she saw Oscar frowning while appearing to be in
deep thought.
“Oscar…” she murmured.
Oscar shot her a nce and sighed. “Isabe, are you hiding something from me?”
As her heart plummeted to her feet, Isabe pretended to be clueless. “What are you talking about?”
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Oscar observed her, gauging her inwardly.
Seeing that, Isabe started to panic. “Oscar, do you regret divorcing her?”
