Love You Enough to Leave You - Season 3 Episode 31

Hugging Amelia into his embrace, Oscar was heartbroken. “If you’re not happy, let’s leave here. Don’t worry. I’ll explain to Dad and Mom. I’m your husband, and you can trust me. There’s no need to bear it on your own.

Amelia leaned silently on him, with her expression decadent.

At that moment, Oscar felt as though a thousand needles were stabbing through his heart.

“Come on. Smile at me. I’m by your side, and you can rely on me.” Oscar held her chin gently. “My woman should be happy. I’ll never let anyone hurt you.”

A warmth slowly filled up Amelia’s heart, and she began to feel she might have been overreacting with her sorrow. Regardless of what Oscar said was sincere or fake, he had expressed his stand firmly.

“Oscar, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Amelia finally let out a faint smile.

Right then, she lifted her hands and touched Oscar’s cheek. “You also smile at me, please. You look scary when you don’t smile.”

Oscar stared at her closely, trying to observe if she was truly fine.

A moment later, he touched her nose teasingly. “You must tell me if you don’t feel like living here. Maybe Mom will complain a little, but I bet she would understand our decision too.”

Amelia shook her head firmly. “Let’s stay here for the moment. I’ll tell you if I’m not happy. Don’t worry too much about me. I’m a grown woman who knows how to take care of myself. I promise I won’t hide my feelings from you.”

Oscar was still gazing at her suspiciously.

Amelia displayed a casual smile. “I’m totally fine. I’m not that weak. I was just a little moody, but now I’m fine already.”

She said all this merely because she did not want Oscar to be troubled. She knew that the most difficult choice for a man was to choose between his mother and his wife. Only a foolish woman would put her man in such a situation.

No matter which side Oscar chose, it would hurt the other party hugely.

Oscar lowered his head and left a gentle kiss on Amelia’s forehead while caressing her hair affectionately. “Honey, thanks. I’m grateful that you never left me despite all that had happened.”

At that moment, tears uncontrollably dropped down Amelia’s face. She felt it was the first time that Oscar ever thanked her so sincerely. With that, she felt all the forbearance and grievance that she had gone through these years were worthy. She started to think that Oscar was not only fond of her body, but their spirit had truly got connected.

This is what united in spirit feels like.

Oscar wiped the tears on her face gently. “Silly girl. Why’re you crying?”

Amelia evaded his hand shyly. “It’s nothing. It’s just a mosquito flying into my eyes.”

Oscar did not know how to respond to this, as he fell in more profound love with this sexy and fragile woman.

When a man’s heart started worrying about a woman, he would pay any price to protect her.

It was such an irony that their hearts had gotten closer to each other due to Stephanie’s doing.

However, the closer a relationship, the more vulnerable it became.

Little did Amelia expect that as she finally tasted true love, her marriage with Oscar was about to be put to a test.

As Stephanie had come back to the family, Amelia tried to keep her distance from her. Hence, a few days passed peacefully without any unexpected episode.

It was eight in the morning while Oscar finished his breakfast and headed to work. On the other hand, Olivia and Owen received a call from their friend inviting them to go fishing. With that, they left after the call.

Before leaving, Olivia concernedly reminded, “Stephanie, please listen to Amelia while we’re away. Don’t piss her off. Or else we’ll give you a job after this.”

Stephanie had been behaving extraordinarily well these few days. And she seemed not offended at all by Olivia’s advice. “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll be a good girl and listen to Amelia.”

Olivia nodded with satisfaction and turned to Amelia. “Amelia, call me if there’s anything. If Stephanie doesn’t listen, tell me, and I’ll punish her.”

Amelia let out a smile. “Mom, you go have fun with Dad and your friends. There are many maids here, and Kurt is looking after Tony; so, I’ll be fine.”

“Alright. Then we will leave now. Remember to call me if you need anything.” Olivia reminded once again before leaving the house.

The house became deserted right away, leaving Amelia and Stephanie alone.

The smile on Amelia’s face faded instantly, and she walked upstairs without hesitation.

Gazing at Amelia’s back figure, Stephanie’s eyes displayed a slight hatred and resentment.

A moment later, she displayed a fake smile while catching up with Amelia’s pace. She grabbed Amelia’s arm genuinely and said with a sweet voice, “Amelia, do you want some tea? I’ve learned how to make a nice tea recently. Why don’t you try some? What do you think?”

Amelia’s eyes flashed with a warning while pulling her arm away. “Stephanie, what are you trying to do. I’m busy and have no mood to play the game with you.”

Stephanie blinked her eyes innocently, still smiling.

“Amelia, I merely want to fix our relationship. I have no other motive. Please don’t look at me like an enemy.” Stephanie stretched her arms apart, acting all naive.

Amelia stared at Stephanie and could not wrap her head around it. The old Stephanie, though arrogant, showed all her thoughts on her face. But the current Stephanie seemed utterly cunning, and Amelia failed to read her mind whatsoever.

“I’m a little tired, and I want to rest. If you’re bored, you can invite your friends to go shopping or go watch a movie,” Amelia spoke with disdain.

Stephanie’s eyes twitched a little but soon resumed to her fake smile.

“Amelia, don’t be like this. I truly want to mend our relationship. I’ve done so many wrong things. But since none of them was irreparable, why don’t you give me one more chance?”

Amelia looked at her defensively.

“Stephanie, what exactly are you planning? No one’s here. You can speak your mind.” Amelia’s gesture was relatively indifferent.

“Amelia, you have misunderstood. I have no other intention. I’ve stayed out for more than a month, and I realized how arrogant I was and how much hurt I’ve caused you. Thus, I want to make it up to you, and I want to treat Tony well.”

Such an irony. I wanted you to treat me well, but you did not comply. And now you’re treating me nicely; yet, I feel so disgusted.

“I’m tired. I’m going to sleep now.” Amelia left abruptly after giving an excuse.

She walked right into her own bedroom, without going to check on Tony.

A second later, Stephanie’s smile vanished as her face turned ugly from anger. “Amelia, one day I’ll make you beg me.”

Upon murmuring to herself, Stephanie made her way to another room.

Entering the room, Amelia lay down in her bed and stared at the ceiling. She could not figure out what Stephanie was thinking, but she was sure the latter was scheming some evil plan. Amelia was not worried about herself, but she feared the latter would go after Tony.

She even dared to hire someone to knock me down while I was pregnant. There’s nothing she won’t do.

Regardless of what, Stephanie was a pure devil in Amelia’s heart.

Rubbing her forehead stressfully, Amelia shut her eyes, trying to get some sleep. But she could not seem to collect her worries as she eventually got up and went to Tony’s room.

The moment she opened the door, her heart almost fell out when she spotted Stephanie playing with Tony happily.

Hurrying her pace towards them, she stood between Stephanie and Tony. “Stephanie, what’re you doing to Tony?”

Stephanie’s face turned displeased for a second but immediately changed to an indignant look. “Amelia, Tony’s about two-month-old now. And I haven’t got the chance to play with him. Please don’t see me as a bad person. I’ve truly repented.”

Amelia realized she might have overreacted. But once bitten, twice shy. The car accident had become a trauma for her, with Stephanie as the culprit. Whenever she saw Stephanie, it would remind her of that unforgettable nightmare.
