Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 414 Hurtful Words From A Child

“Watch your mouth, Stephanie! She’s your sister-in-law!” Oscar warned her.

Stephanie crossed her arms and yelled arrogantly, “Didn’t you two get divorced? How is she my sister-

in-law then? Even if you two didn’t get divorced, I still won’t accept her as my sister-in-law because she

doesn’t deserve that title! You keep talking about how great she is, but I don’t see any of that greatness

in her at all! Moreover, she had selfishly run off with Tony and comes back whenever she feels like it!

Since when has she ever done anything good for you? I honestly don’t get why you’re so obsessed

with her! Heck, even Cassie is a lot better than her!”

“Stephanie!”

Oscar’s tone was so stern that Stephanie shut up immediately.

Olivia shot her a glance and said, “Stephanie, you can either go upstairs or go see Noah at the office.

He’s working really hard right now. As his girlfriend, you should do something to help out instead of

sitting around waiting for him to serve you like a princess after work.”

Stephanie leaped to her feet as she protested, “I haven’t decided to marry him yet, Mom! Why should I

look after him like I’m his mother? Even if we do break up, there are tons of men out there who would

kill to marry a young and excellent woman like me!”

Olivia felt like she would get a stroke from the stress her children were putting her through.

“Go upstairs, now! I will disown you if Noah leaves you for saying such stupid things!” she shouted

angrily.

Stephanie pouted and said reluctantly, “Fine, I’ll go upstairs then!” As she was too young to interfere

with adult decisions, the best she could do was avoid being around them.

Of course, being the childish person that she was, she made sure to snort defiantly when she passed

Amelia by.

Olivia waited until Stephanie was gone before glaring sternly at Amelia as she stated, “Listen very

closely, Amelia. I will never accept you as a part of the Clinton family. If Oscar decides to go against us

and remarry you, we will remove his right to inherit Clinton Corporations. There are plenty of other

people capable of taking up his position, and I wouldn’t want a son who won’t listen to his parents

anyway. If you want to ruin his bright future, then go right ahead.”

There was a hint of pain in Amelia’s eyes when she heard that.

“Mom, I’m not going to…”

“Don’t call me ‘Mom,’” Olivia cut her off coldly before she could finish.

Amelia shut up immediately and took a moment to collect her thoughts before continuing, “Mrs. Clinton,

I won’t remarry Oscar without permission from you and Mr. Clinton. I’m sorry for leaving due to the

issue with my eyesight back then. That was really immature of me. I will work hard to earn your

forgiveness.”

She then stood up and lowered her head apologetically.

Oscar got up and wrapped an arm around her shoulder as he said, “Mom, Dad, I honestly couldn’t care

less about my rights to inherit Clinton Corporations. As your only son, it has always been my duty to

inherit the company anyway. Even if I don’t get to do so, I’ll just start up my own company and build my

own business empire.”

Olivia’s expression turned gloomy. “What do you mean by that, Oscar? Are you seriously going to

abandon everything you have for this woman?” she asked with a conflicted look in her eyes.

“Mom, I’m just trying to tell you that the only reason Amelia and I haven’t remarried is because she

cares about what you and Dad think. She genuinely wants to earn your forgiveness. You can’t keep me

trapped even if you take away my right to inherit Clinton Corporations because I’ve already established

my network. I’ve helped the company rake in tons of profit over the years. If I were to leave, then a

huge group of people who worked closely with me in the past will leave with me. With their help, it won’t

be hard starting up another company just like Clinton Corporations, which is why your threats don’t

even count as threats. Amelia and I are choosing to not remarry simply because we care about your

feelings.”

The look on Olivia’s face changed instantly, but she found herself unable to refute his statement.

“So, that’s how it’s going to be, huh? You don’t even respect your mother anymore now that you’re all

grown up!” Olivia got up from the sofa angrily and went straight upstairs.

“Oscar, you shouldn’t talk to your mother like that! Don’t make me hit you! You may be as successful as

you claimed, but I still have what it takes to keep those connections of yours under control! You won’t

have it easy if I really wanted to sabotage you!” Owen warned him sternly before going upstairs as well.

The Clintons didn’t bother having Oscar and Amelia stay for lunch after they all parted on an unhappy

note.

“I’m sorry for making you get into a fight with your mom, Oscar,” Amelia said apologetically while

carrying Tony in the passenger seat.

“Oh, you silly girl! I’m her son, so she won’t actually be mad at me! You have nothing to worry about!”

Oscar replied while driving.

Amelia’s heart was heavy as she stared at the passing scenery outside the window.

I didn’t think Mrs. Clinton would hate me that much… She’s treating me as horribly as she treated

Cassie back then. Ironically, that’s actually fair since I’m pretty much walking in Cassie’s footsteps. I

used to look down on Cassie for coming back after leaving, only to end up doing that very same thing

to Oscar myself. I felt upset when he used to ignore me, but then I hurt him the most when he started

loving me. Theoretically, I’m no different from Cassie at all, so Mrs. Clinton’s response is justified. I too,

would be upset and angry if Tony’s wife were to run away with my grandchild after divorcing him. Heck,

I might get so mad that I’d want to strangle that woman to death! I think I understand Mrs. Clinton’s

feelings toward me now…

“Don’t go overthinking things now, Honey. I’m sure Mom will come to forgive you over time.”

“Let’s hope so… Oscar, I’m planning on going to work. Why don’t we leave Tony with Mom and Dad?

It’ll help them bond, and it might also reduce the damage I did to Mom by leaving.”

“Honey, you don’t have to do this.”

“Hear me out, Oscar. I’m not trying to use Tony to whitewash what I’ve done. I simply want to let Mom

and Dad enjoy being with their grandkid. They’ve experienced all the luxuries life has to offer, so all

they need right now is a grandkid to look after and play with. It was selfish of me to not consider how

they’d feel when I left two years ago, so I’m trying to make it up to them now.”

Oscar sighed internally when he glanced at her through the rear-view mirror and saw the gloomy look

on her face. Da*n… This woman is always making sacrifices for the sake of others…

“All right, I suppose it would be nice to have Tony keep them company. We’ll send him here later in the

evening.”

“Thanks, Oscar.”

“Come on, we’re husband and wife. There’s no need to thank me!”

Amelia couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard that.

“Tony, Mommy’s going to bring you over to Grandpa and Grandma’s in a few days. Will you help me

cheer your Grandma up?”

Tony looked up at her and asked, “I want you and Daddy to be together, Mommy. When will we be

going back to Beshya? I don’t like it here at all.”

Amelia instinctively glanced at Oscar who was driving in front upon hearing that. “I think it’s pretty nice

over here too. You seemed to be having fun earlier,” she replied patiently.

“I’ll be happy as long as I can be with Mommy, Daddy, and Tiffy! She rarely comes to see me ever

since you got together with Big Meanie! I haven’t seen Daddy in a long time too! I don’t like Grandpa

and Grandma! I like being with Daddy!” Tony began crying after saying that.

Tony’s words put Amelia in a really awkward position.

Oh, no… How did things turn out like this? It’s way beyond what I have expected! How will I face Oscar

after this?
