Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 847 Where I Brought Tony

After Amelia calmed Tony down, she went to the study to look for Oscar. She opened the door to see Oscar staring

at a document on the table. Her heart leaped to her throat as she hurried over to him.

“Oscar,” she called out. It took Oscar a moment to raise his head. He shot Amelia a complicated look before the

judging look in his eyes slowly faded away.

“Oscar, what’s the matter? Why are you staring at me like that?” Amelia asked as she forced out a smile. Getting to

his feet, Oscar walked past his study table and went to Amelia. He lowered his head to look at her and asked, “Did I

upset you earlier?”

Amelia blinked innocently. “Did you? I only saw a man who adores me greatly.” Oscar chuckled out loud. Her words

managed to get rid of the doubts in his heart.

He held her hand, led her to the couch, and pulled her so that she was sitting on his lap. “Amelia, I didn’t leave you

downstairs on purpose. Many chaotic scenes appeared in my brain out of nowhere, so I made up an excuse to

come to the study. I don’t know what is wrong with me. Maybe I should get it checked at the hospital.”

Listening to his honest answer, Amelia couldn’t help but comfort him. “You were just too busy and didn’t get to rest

well, silly. You’re an outstanding man, so you have to bear a lot of pressure. Come, let me help you relax by giving

you a head massage.”

Oscar relaxed and shut his eyes. While giving him a massage, Amelia asked, “Oscar, is this all right?”

Oscar bobbed his head in response.

Amelia observed him thoughtfully as she massage him.

They enjoyed almost an hour of leisure time together before Oscar had to get back to work. Amelia left the study

and went downstairs.

“Molly, please take care of Tony. I’m heading to the market to buy some ingredients that the boys love. I will be

cooking tonight. Tony loves my honey BBQ pork ribs,” Amelia said to Molly with a smile.

Molly gave her an affectionate one in return. “Mrs. Clinton, let me get the ingredients. You must be tired after

taking care of Mr. Anthony these few days. I know you love both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Anthony, but there is no hurry.”

Amelia shook her head. “Molly, I’m not tired. I want to cook for them for the rest of my life.”

Failing to persuade her to change her mind, Molly could only let her be.

The moment Amelia took the elevator downstairs, Jolin had already driven the car over to pick her up.

“Mrs. Clinton,” Jolin greeted her.

“Jolin, didn’t you send someone to tail Isabella? Why didn’t you tell me in advance when she came to my house?”

Jolin hesitated before answering, “Mrs. Clinton, Boss actually stopped us from tailing Ms. Walker a few days ago. I

was afraid you might overthink, so I didn’t tell you about it.”

Amelia lowered her head and fell into deep thought as various expressions crossed her face.

Jolin gazed at her worriedly. “Mrs. Clinton, are you all right?”

Amelia snapped out of her reverie and turned to look at Jolin. “Did Oscar really stop you from tailing Isabella? What

else did he say?”

Jolin pondered over her question and answered, “Boss didn’t really say anything. All he said was that Ms. Walker

wasn’t actually that annoying, and we shouldn’t make things difficult for her on purpose.”

Amelia’s fingers twitched as she shut her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was clear. She had

regained her composure.

“Come, let’s go to the farmer’s market. I need to buy pork ribs and cook a delicious meal for Tony,” Amelia said

with feigned nonchalance.

Jolin turned over to glance at Amelia. She swallowed a lump in her throat and asked, “Mrs. Clinton, are you sure

you’re all right?”

A tiny smile flitted across Amelia’s lips as she replied, “Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?”

Jolin drove without a word, and silence ensued inside the car.

Around five minutes later, Jolin broke the silence. “Mrs. Clinton, I have never been in love, but everyone knows how

much Boss loves you. He could even sacrifice his own life for you. I am pretty sure the woman has nothing to do

with him.”

Amelia made a face as she confessed her concern. “Jolin, I’m not worried about him cheating. I’m just afraid that

Isabella will do something to him. He has the wrong feelings whenever he sees Isabella now. In the past, that would

never have happened. I heard that there is something called black magic from Thymion. Can you find an expert in

this field to take a look at Oscar?”

Jolin cast Amelia a strange look as she assumed the latter was thinking too much. “Mrs. Clinton, that shouldn’t be

the case. You’re thinking too much.” However, recalling how her employer had been treating Isabella differently

now, she felt furious on Amelia’s behalf and thought it could be possible. “Mrs. Clinton, why don’t I send someone to

Thymion? I remember Hugo once completed a mission in Thymion. He might know an expert in that field.”

“Send Hugo there, then.”

Jolin nodded. But feeling worried the next moment, she asked, “Mrs. Clinton, even if we managed to get the expert

to come here, how should we mention it to Boss?”

Amelia thought about it and said, “I’ll tell him myself.”

Jolin parted her lips but didn’t say her thoughts out loud. Mrs. Clinton, even though Boss adores you, he probably

won’t feel good to discover that you thought he was under the influence of black magic.

However, Jolin had plenty of experience in life. She had seen much horrible stuff previously. In fact, she had seen

how black magic had caused a wealthy man to age quickly. She thought it was possible to make a man fall in love

with a person through black magic.

If that was the case, she had to admit that Isabella was cruel enough to come up with such a horrible plan.

Arriving at the farmer’s market, Jolin parked the car. “Mrs. Clinton, I don’t think we should send someone to

Thymion for now. If Boss is under the influence of black magic, there is no way Isabella can still hover around him

but still fail to get into his good books. I think we should get rid of Isabella to nip the problem in the bud.”

Amelia shook her head and flashed a bitter smile.

“Forget it. I was just joking. If we get the expert to come, Oscar will never agree to get checked. Even if he agrees

to get checked for my sake, he’ll get upset with me deep down. I don’t want to be a fool who creates an opportunity

for my enemy.” Having said that, she opened the door and got out of the car.

Jolin heaved a sigh of relief. She was scared that Amelia would act recklessly and send someone to Thymion for

real.

At the farmer’s market, Amelia bought many ingredients.

Jolin took her shopping bags and placed them in the trunk before getting into the driver’s seat and starting the

engine. “Mrs. Clinton, I have an idea. Why don’t I sneak into the Walker residence at night to interrogate Isabella?

I’m sure she will reveal everything.”

Amelia nodded. “Thank you, Jolin.”

“I am willing to do anything for you, Mrs. Clinton.”

Amelia chuckled lightly.

Back at the apartment, Amelia went into the kitchen and started to prepare dinner.

The family of three enjoyed dinner together as though Isabella didn’t show up that noon.

Late that night, Jolin changed into a black outfit and drove to the Walker residence.

She parked the vehicle a kilometer away from the Walker residence in a forest. Then, she avoided the security

guards and sneaked into the house.

After finding Isabella’s room, she was about to climb through the window to get in when a pebble hit her ankle,

causing her to wince in pain and nearly release her hands. Upon calming herself down, she turned over her

shoulder, and when she saw the person standing below, she blanched in shock and nearly fell to the ground.

Taking a deep breath, she slid down the pipe and climbed down.

“Boss, what are you doing here?” she greeted respectfully, standing in front of the figure.

She thought no one knew about her visit to Isabella’s house and didn’t know that Oscar had followed her there. She

didn’t even realize he was behind her.

Despite not knowing why Oscar had shown up here, she knew she couldn’t interrogate Isabella today.

Oscar’s hands were folded behind his back as he hid in the dark. In a low voice, he demanded, “Jolin, who allowed

you to come to the Walker residence?”

A chill went down Jolin’s spine as she hung her head low. “Boss, I was curious what the Walker residence looked like.

That’s why I came here. I didn’t mean anything else.”

Oscar ordered, “Go back now.”

Jolin nodded and trailed behind Oscar obediently. They both avoided the infrared light that the Walker family had set

up outside the house as part of their security system and left. Outside, Jolin gazed at Oscar’s back silently. She

pondered briefly before asking, “Boss, shouldn’t you be sleeping with Mrs. Clinton at this hour?”

Oscar shot her a pointed look. “Jolin, you have no right to interfere in my business.”

Jolin couldn’t understand what Oscar was getting at. She couldn’t help but feel indignant on Amelia’s behalf. Mrs.

Clinton has sacrificed a lot for this family. She is pretty, sensible, and knows when to back off instead of stressing

others. I thought they were the most loving couple in the world. They made me believe in true love. Can’t true love

last forever? Will it burst soon like a bubble?

The more Jolin thought about it, the more indignant she got. She couldn’t help but demand, “Boss, have you fallen

in love with Ms. Walker? She may have a better figure than Mrs. Clinton, but other than that, she is no match for

Mrs. Clinton. How could you do this to your wife? You love her dearly, don’t you?”

A flash of confusion appeared in Oscar’s eyes when he heard what Jolin had to say. He didn’t know why he had

come after Jolin. After overhearing the conversation between Jolin and Amelia in the kitchen, he couldn’t stop

himself from coming after Jolin. Deep down, he didn’t want to see Isabella getting hurt. However, he wasn’t in love

with Isabella. The woman he had always loved was Amelia. Yet, he couldn’t understand why he had followed Jolin to

the Walker residence.

A flurry of scenes from the past that shouldn’t have happened kept replaying themselves in his mind today as

though they were scenes from a movie. He wanted to take a better look at them, but they flashed past too quickly.

His head was aching, no thanks to the scenes, when suddenly a woman’s face appeared in his mind. He

immediately recognized her as Isabella. However, he didn’t even know what happened to him.

I am abnormal now. I think I need to see a doctor soon or risk getting schizophrenia.

“Don’t tell Amelia about what happened today. I don’t want her to get things wrong,” Oscar said after tamping

down the suspicions in his heart.

Jolin hung her head low and said nothing.

Oscar narrowed his eyes and gave her a warning look. “Jolin, don’t forget that I am your boss.”

A chill ran down Jolin’s spine as she finally remembered her position.

“Boss, I’m just worried that Mrs. Clinton will be upset to learn that you came to the Walker residence late at night. I

don’t understand why you followed me here. You used to despise the Walkers. Why did you—”

“Jolin, you’ve crossed the line. Go home.”

Jolin swallowed her words and lowered her head. “Yes, Boss.”

She returned to her car and drove back home, and so did Oscar. However, none of them knew that there was

another car parked in the forest. Inside the car was Amelia, who was holding Tony in her arms, and Kurt.

Kurt glanced at a silent Amelia through the rearview mirror. In a low voice, he asked, “Amelia, are you all right?”

Forcing a smile, Amelia responded, “Not that good. So this is how it feels to see one’s husband showing up at one’s

love rival’s house. It really hurts.”

Feeling bad for her, Kurt said, “Amelia, you can cry if you want to. You don’t have to pretend in front of me.”

Amelia shook her head. “Why would I cry? This little matter won’t break me down. I managed to hang on despite

losing my eyesight and getting a divorce from Oscar a few years ago. If Oscar did cheat on me and had an affair

with Isabella, I’ll give them my blessing. I am lucky to get to reunite with him. There’s nothing to complain about.”

Kurt’s lips quirked up as he said, “Amelia, you’re still as different as ever. Everyone is worried about you, but you

managed to convince yourself. I admire you. To be honest, I am not sure I can act like you.” He still couldn’t forget

her and admired her for her frankness.

Amelia chuckled. “Let’s go back.”

Kurt bobbed his head and drove back home.

Arriving at the neighborhood, he parked the car and asked, “Amelia, what is your plan?”

Amelia contemplated briefly before revealing, “I’ll talk to Oscar directly. It’s not like me to keep things a secret. If he

has fallen in love with someone else, I’ll give them my blessings. If it is the contrary, I’ll ask him why he paid her a

visit tonight. If this is all Isabella’s doing, I won’t forgive her, ever.”

“Amelia, should I—”

Before Kurt could finish, Amelia shook her head. “No. Oscar has caught Jolin, so there’s no need for you to go to

Isabella now. I’ll talk to Oscar first.”

Kurt nodded in response.

Amelia held Tony in her arms and got out of the car. Kurt followed behind her to see her upstairs.

When Amelia turned the doorknob, the door creaked open. It wasn’t locked.

She turned over her shoulder and said, “You can go now, Kurt.”

Kurt shot her a worried look, but he nodded and turned to leave.

Inside, Amelia switched on the light to see Oscar sitting on the couch. The man lifted his head to look at her. When

their eyes met, Amelia suddenly relaxed.

“Oscar.” She went over to him with Tony in her arms.

Oscar got to his feet and gave her a long look before he took Tony from her.

Amelia lifted her head and asked calmly, “Oscar, aren’t you going to ask where I brought Tony?”
