Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 63

Elizabeth‘s face changed. “Pregnant? When I visited her in the hospital you didn‘t mention anything abou t it. How could she be pregnant suddenly?”

Olivia suppressed her anger and said, “Liz, what is wrong with you today? How could you talk like this? I couldn‘t say that much considering the crowd in the hospital the other day. Amelia is already five months pregnant, and I‘ll be a grandmother next year.”

“What‘s going to happen to Cassie now that she is pregnant? Cassie is pregnant with Oscar‘s child too. We are here today to discuss their marriage matters with you.”

Amelia‘s eyes flashed with pain while utter disbelief darted across Oscar‘s eyes. He looked at Amelia onl y to see the hurt hidden in her eyes. His heart twitched uncontrollably at that. Increasingly, he could not b ear the sight of Amelia being sad.

However, the news of Cassie‘s pregnancy caught him by complete surprise. He had said that he loved C assie, but he had never expected to have children with her.

Olivia‘s face fell immediately. “Liz, our families have been friends for a long time, so you can‘t say malicio us things like that. I would have been overjoyed to hear this if Cassie and Oscar were still engaged. However, Oscar is married now and his wife is pregnant. Even though it is very normal to have mistresses in our society, it is not acceptable for our family as it is not aligned with our family values. I congratulate Cassie on her pregnancy, but pleas e don‘t link it to Oscar. We Clintons cannot offer to house your precious daughter.”

Elizabeth flicked her perfectly coiffed hair and said, “Olivia, you‘ve said so yourself that our families have been friends for years. No matter what, I

wouldn‘t make up something like this. Cassie is pregnant and she is really bearing Oscar‘s child. If you d on‘t believe it, just ask Oscar. If he is a man he will own up to it.”

Olivia turned to Oscar who actually nodded and said, “Mom, I did have a thing with Cassie. I plan to marr y her as well.”

Olivia was so angry she raised her hand to give Oscar a loud resounding slap.

Everyone was taken aback by the crisp sound of that slap. Nobody had expected Olivia to slap her own s on. Oscar was a legendary figure in the business world and everyone looked up to him. His words were as good as the king‘s decree.

“Mom, how could you hit Oscar?” Stephanie exclaimed.

Heartbroken, Olivia stared at Oscar and lamented, “Oscar, you‘ve brought the company to such great heights, it led me to think that you were an honorable and upright man. Never did I expect you to be such a mess when it came to your personal relationships. You have such a wonderful wife, yet you gave her up for a woman that had not on ly hurt you but had multiple relationships with other men. Is this how you‘re going to repay me?”.

Oscar pursed his lips and silently allowed his mother to vent her fury.

However, his silence angered her further, which led her to pant heavily while clutching her chest in agony . Worried that something would happen to her, Amelia quickly went up to support her. “Mom, don‘t be too worried. I‘m sure that there must be some misunderstanding here. Take it easy, and let‘s just talk properly.”

It was only then that Olivia looked a little more relieved.

Owen stepped forward to support Olivia and said gently, “Look at you. You are pushing sixty and you still have such a raring temper. I am still the head of this family, so as long as you disapprove, I will not allow her to marry into the family. So don‘t worry, all right?”

Olivia finally looked better.

She nodded and said, “Owen, remember what you said, and don‘t disappoint me. Amelia is the only dau ghter–in– law I will ever have. If you make her suffer in any way, I‘ll pack my bags and leave the family together wit h her.”

Owen comforted, “Don‘t worry. I will not allow that to happen.”

Stephanie stomped her feet angrily and protested, “Mom, what are you talking about? What‘s wrong with Cassie? Why must you protect a woman who has nothing?”

Olivia glared at her coldly. “Steph, I‘ll talk to you properly when this is settled. I thought you were just a litt le strong– willed, but I didn‘t expect you to be so rude that you wouldn‘t even acknowledge your own sister–in–law.”

Stephanie held her head up high and retorted, “Mom, Cassie is my only sister–in– law as far as I am concerned. This woman? She‘s just a materialistic woman that only has her sights set on marrying rich.”

Olivia‘s suppressed anger began bubbling away again. “Shut up!”

“Steph, another word from you, and I‘ll send you overseas again to learn some respect,” Owen said impa ssively. However, every single person in the room could sense the gravity in his words.

Stephanie glowered at Amelia before looking down and muttering, “Sorry, Mom. I shouldn‘t have said that.”

Olivia did not say anything in response. Instead, she asked the other relatives and friends to leave with t he promise of an upcoming party.

They were very understanding and all left one after another.

Owen brought Olivia to the couch while Oscar took Amelia in his arms to settle down on the other end of the couch. Amelia looked up at the palm print on his face, asking, “Does it still hurt?”

Oscar looked down and his heart warmed up when he saw the distress in her eyes. He shook his head a nd replied, “I‘m fine.”

At this very moment, Oscar was actually somewhat resentful of Cassie‘s willful actions. In fact, when he f irst heard of her pregnancy, his first reaction was not of joy but of suspicion. Is her child really mine?

He did not want to be suspicious but he was not dumb either. He did try to recall the one– night stand they had in the hotel, only he had no memory of what had happened halfway through his drinking that night.

He was an excellent drinker. If not for Cassie spiking his drink, he definitely would not have difficulty recal ling that night.

He did not want to be cynical toward Cassie who looked pure and innocent on the surface, so he suppre ssed his suspicion. However, he was truly disgusted today, especially after she brought her parents to for ce this marriage on him.

While he was willing to admit that he loved Cassie, there was still a bottom line. The moment that line wa s crossed, he would no longer dote on her unconditionally.

“Ms. Yard, so I heard that you are pregnant?” Oscar‘s train of thought was interrupted when Olivia sudde nly spoke up.

Cassie glanced at Oscar and replied aggrievedly, “Mrs. Clinton, I know you can‘t forgive me since I left O scar at the altar. But we are truly in love, and I already knew about my pregnancy when I was doing up m y papers to leave the country. It‘s been one month, and here is the report. You can take a look if you don‘ t believe me.”

Olivia took a look at the report and sniggered, “Ms. Yard, I‘ve gotten some people to check up on you. Ev en though it was not particularly easy to find out more about your doings while you were overseas, nothing is impossible with money.

Cassie‘s heart beat wildly when she heard that.

Olivia got up from Owen‘s arms and looked at Cassie. “Ms. Yard, I was going to give you some respect due to the fact that your parents and I have been friends for many years. But who knew you could be so shameless?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Charlie and Elizabeth‘s blanched. “Olivia, how could you say something like this? We have been friends f or decades, and you have watched Cassie grow up since she was a little girl. Is this what you think of her ?”

To that, Olivia said, “If I had known that this little girl would use such despicable ways to destroy my son‘s

The Yards‘ faces fell and Elizabeth spoke up sharply, “Olivia, that is just mean and spiteful. My daughter is trifled with either. If you don‘t settle this properly today, this will spell the end of our families‘ friendship.”

Olivia smirked. “Sure. Let‘s settle this once and for all then, shall we?” Then, she went upstairs amidst eve

Cassie‘s expression changed when she looked at the manila envelope in Olivia‘s hands. She had an impulse to snatch the envelope from the latter‘s hands, but she restrained herself and waited painf

Olivia poured out the contents of the envelope. There were many photos inside, with Cassie featuring in e stuck closely to some muscular foreign men. Everyone was flabbergasted at how liberal she was.

“Ms. Yard, could you explain the photos, please?” Olivia said coolly.

Cassie‘s face turned white when she saw the photos. Meanwhile, Charlie and Elizabeth were in complete minded.

“Cassie, what‘s going on here?” Elizabeth asked, clearly beside herself. Even though Elizabeth was almos

Cassie‘s face was pale. I remember being very careful each time I went partying. How did she get all thes

She subconsciously glanced at Oscar who had pain and disappointment written on his gloomy face.

If I don‘t get hold of Oscar today, the distance between us would only get farther and farther away.After fo never admitted it, my feminine instincts are definitely right. I know this child is definitely June‘s, but there is

“Oscar, I can explain the pictures. It‘s not what it seems.” Cassie gulped and looked at

Oscar pleadingly.

Oscar‘s eyes returned to their usual calmness. It was almost as if she had merely imagined the anguish a

“Just speak, Cassie. I‘m listening,” Oscar said coolly.

Amelia knew him very well. The calmer he was, the more it indicated an impending storm. However, Cass
