Too Much to Bear, My Love
Chapter 15

“Abort it,” Oscar said heartlessly.

Amelia blanched, feeling as though someone had stabbed her hearttime and time again by those two words.

“Don’t you want a child of your own?” She forced a smile.

“My child will only be borne by the woman I love. If you're pregnant, I'llget someone to arrange for a doctor's appointment. You'll go to thehospital and get an abortion.” He spoke coldly like a beast who had noemotions.

Amelia's heart chilled there and then. Apparently, other than theirchemistry in bed, he had no other feelings toward her despite their fouryears of marriage.

Abort it?

He's truly ruthless. He doesn’t even want his own child. A man like thatis definitely not worthy of my love and commitment.

She blocked out the mess in her mind and chuckled humorlessly.“You're really that cruel?”

Oscar regarded her with no emotions and said, “We talked about itwhen we first got married, hadn't we? The only relationship between usis my financial responsibility and your performance in bed. You'll get asum of money when the relationship comes to an end. Should you getpregnant accidentally, I'll pay for you to abort it. These were theconditions we mutually agreed. What? Are you trying to use a child totie me down?”

Amelia's head drooped, desolately shielding the sourness in her eyes.This man is still as cruel and ruthless as always.

Oscar raised her chin roughly only to meet her reddened eyes. His facedimmed, a hint of anger showing in his cold gaze. “Why are youcrying?”

She shook his hands off stubbornly. “I'm not.”

He reached for her once again, forcing her to look him in the eyes. “Areyou really pregnant?”

She stared back silently.

“Are you really pregnant? Hm?" he patiently repeated the question.Amelia chuckled forcibly, searching his face. “Mr. Clinton, if I'm reallypregnant, are you going to send someone to force me to the hospitaland get an abortion?”

Without a second thought, Oscar answered, “You can't keep the child. Ican't let Cassie down.”

Once again, she felt as though her heart was cut open by a small blade.He wouldn't even pretend to lie to make her feel better. Other thanmoney, there was nothing else he was willing to offer.

Cassie Yard. Cassie Yard. To you, Cassie's the only woman your heartyearns for, even if she hurts you. Whether she returns or not, the spot inyour heart's solely kept for her forever.

Amelia had never met the woman, but she couldn't help but be jealousof her. She had lost thoroughly before she even had a chance tocompete against her rival in love.

“How devoted of you,” she commented. It was too bad that devotionwasn't meant for her.

“Say, if you love Ms. Yard so much, why would you have sex with otherwomen?”

Is it true that men only think with the lower half of their bodies? As longas it's a woman with decent looks, he would go to bed with her withoutthe need to involve emotions.

“Cassie's a gem. She deserves to be treated well by me,” he said as if hedidn’t know the words he spoke were killing someone else.

So I'm an ugly rock, then? Amelia scoffed silently in her heart.

She released herself from his shackles and said perfunctorily, “I'mexhausted. My body's taking a break for a day, so I'll go sleep in theguest room.”

She turned to leave.

Oscar frowned. “So are you pregnant or not?”

Her steps halted. “Rest assured. If I'm pregnant, I'll make a trip to thehospital personally and get an abortion. I wouldn't want my child to beborn into a world without a father.”

Unaccustomed to her distant attitude, his brows furrowed even more.“Stop right there, Amelia Winters.”

She had already made it to the door when he stopped her.

Without turning around, she responded indifferently, “Is there anythingelse, Mr. Clinton?”
