Chapter 267 Let Us Get A Divorce
Though Amelia felt repulsed, she headed in as well. The moment she pushed the door open and saw a
towering figure standing by the side of the bed, her heart skipped a beat. It felt like a lifetime had
passed since they last met.
Amelia stood at the door. Suddenly, she was afraid to head in and destroy the beautiful memories they
had together.
She stared intently at Oscar’s back. Her gaze was a convoluted mixture of sweetness, sorrow, and
anguish.
For the past five years, they started off as indifferent strangers who kept a distance from each other
before they confessed their feelings for one another. Throughout the entire journey, she tried hard to
keep a lid on her feelings and pretended nothing had fazed her. She did her best to look confident and
indestructible, and no one but herself knew how she really felt.
She was the unconfident one in their marriage. Everything Oscar did had affected her emotions easily
and made her upset. Back then, she used to gaze at Oscar’s sleeping face and sob silently in bed.
All along, she was treading on thin ice, as there were too many uncertainties. After spending years in
fear, they finally grew to love each other, but alas, they were going to separate soon.
Amelia had no idea how long she spent staring at Oscar. When she snapped back to reality, Oscar was
already standing before her.
He reached out to caress her cheek, and she immediately averted out of his reach. Oscar’s gaze
changed when he saw her reaction.
Without warning, he grabbed Amelia’s hand. Realizing it was icy cold, he put on a grim expression.
Pulling her into his arms, he started rubbing her hands to warm her up. He only released her when her
palms were warm enough.
“Amelia, listen to me. Nothing happened between Cassie and me. I had no idea why she was on that
bed. Please, I need you to trust me. I love you,” Oscar mumbled as he leaned on Amelia’s shoulder.
Amelia’s eyes reddened instantly.
She shut her eyes to force back her tears.
When her eyes snapped open, determination shone within them. She shoved Oscar’s hand away and
turned to look at him. “Oscar, I’ve thought about this the entire night. I think you pity me, and you still
love Cassie. Let’s get a divorce as a loveless marriage will only serve to harm both sides, and I’d rather
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtget a divorce. Don’t worry because I won’t want anything. All I want is Tony’s custody,” she said coldly.
At once, an ominous black thundercloud of temper settled over Oscar.
“Come again?”
Amelia looked at him and took a deep breath. Parting her lips, she stated slowly, “Oscar, let’s get a
divorce.”
Gloom veiled Oscar’s face. He knew even if he did something wrong, Amelia wouldn’t ask for a divorce
easily. Just a few days ago, they were practically stuck to each other like glue. Amelia had declared her
love for him and promised not to leave him, ever. He couldn’t believe that someone who claimed to love
him would request a divorce.
He absolutely refused to believe it.
He’d rather assume that yesterday’s incident had dealt a huge blow to Amelia, causing her to make a
reckless decision.
Inhaling sharply, Oscar softened his voice and said, “Amelia, you’re acting rashly now. Let’s go home
and take a rest. We shall talk after you get enough rest. I won’t find excuses, for it was my fault. I’m
really sorry. Even a saint gets to make up for his mistake. You can’t sentence me to hell without giving
me a chance to atone for my mistake!”
Tears had flooded Amelia’s heart.
If she were healthy, even if Oscar had cheated on her, she’d forgive him no matter how uncomfortable
and upset she felt. After all, she loved Oscar deeply. Alas, her eyesight was deteriorating, and she
didn’t want Oscar to see her in a pathetic state.
“Oscar, there are too many problems between us. You love Cassie. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have
tolerated her. It’s useless to keep our marriage afloat. Let’s get a divorce. I wish you all the best,” she
replied.
Oscar forced her to look at him and declared viciously, “Stop saying I love Cassie. I know who I love. I
won’t agree to a divorce. You are still emotional, so let’s cool down for a few days before talking about
it. I’ll give you a ride home now. You don’t want Mom to worry about us, do you?”
Biting her lip, Amelia insisted firmly, “Oscar, let’s get a divorce.”
Oscar glared at her. “Look at me.”
Amelia hesitated for a long while before lifting her head.
“Look me in the eye and say you want to divorce me,” Oscar urged.
Once their gazes met, Amelia nearly lost herself in his charm.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Amelia, pull yourself together. Don’t show him your true
feelings.
After preparing herself mentally, she opened her mouth, but the words got stuck in her windpipe like
glue.
Oscar’s gaze turned soft. He was about to release her when she said, “Oscar, let’s get a divorce.”
His expression immediately darkened.
He balled his hands into fists until his knuckles started cracking. Amelia couldn’t help but wonder if he
was going to punch her.
Instead of punching her, Oscar pinned her to the wall. A flash of sorrow appeared in his gaze as he
rasped out, “Why?”
Amelia avoided his gaze hastily. She was reluctant to see Oscar’s gaze filled with grief. Last night’s
event not only hurt her; it had also hurt Oscar.
Her plan had caused damage to both sides. None of them survived the ordeal intact.
Oscar lifted her chin and gazed at her adoringly. “You still love me, right?”
Upon meeting his eyes, Amelia couldn’t bring herself to lie and nodded readily.
“Since you love me, can you forgive me this once?” Oscar buried his face in her shoulder and asked in
a choking voice. “I’ll find out what happened between Cassie and me. No matter what the results are, I
have made a mistake. I won’t find excuses. But I’ll prove how much I love you. Let’s stay together, all
right?”
Amelia’s heart softened, and she nearly agreed to that. However, at the thought of her eyesight, her
senses returned.
“Oscar, let’s get a divorce,” she repeated stiffly.
Oscar’s gaze changed abruptly as he gave the wall a few forceful punches. Blood immediately trickled
down his arm.
Amelia grabbed his hand and burst into tears as her heart broke into a million pieces. “No, don’t do
this,” she pleaded.
Holding her hand, Oscar asked hopefully, “Amelia, you still care about me, don’t you?”
Instead of answering his question, Amelia sobbed noisily.
She would always be a total loser before Oscar.
Holding her in his arms, Oscar said gently, “I’m really sorry, Amelia. It was all my fault. Please forgive
me, just this once. I promise I’ll never make the same mistake again.” He sounded really sincere.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmelia wanted to say yes, but her sanity told her she went to this extent to force Oscar to agree to a
divorce. If she caved in now, her plan would go down the drain, and her efforts would be in vain. I can’t
let this happen.
Thus, she pushed him away harshly after making up her mind.
Wiping her tears away, she put on a placid front and uttered, “Oscar, I’ll ask my lawyer to discuss the
divorce with you.” Her voice held no hint of emotion.
Having said that, she couldn’t stop tears from streaming down her cheeks. “Yesterday, I saw with my
own eyes how you did the deed with another woman. I finally realized I’m not the only one you are
interested in. Someone else can also arouse you. I saw how you hugged Cassie and proclaimed your
love for her. At that moment, my heart shattered into pieces. You had no idea how I felt,” she said sadly,
pointing at her heart.
Tears rolled down her cheeks more fiercely than before. That was her true feeling. Last night, it felt like
she had died once.
“You used to be lovers with Cassie. You might not understand how I feel. Perhaps you’ll think it’s
normal for a man to have another woman, and you think I’m kicking up a fuss for nothing by demanding
a divorce, right? You’re too confident and arrogant. Do you think I’ll stay with you even after you broke
my heart? I’m just a human being with feelings. Of course I’m upset seeing my husband cheating on
me. I’m really tired of this. As you still love Cassie, I’ll grant your wish. I no longer want to stand
between you. It’s too exhausting.”
Oscar immediately panicked and reached out to take Amelia’s hand, but she dodged out of his reach.
He racked his brains for something to say, but words failed him.
“Amelia, you’re wrong. I had never thought that way! Yes, I might’ve ignored your feelings and
pretended not to see your sorrow, but I’ve changed since the accident. I love you, and I can’t bear to
see you upset. Please, don’t do this,” Oscar implored.
Tears streamed down Amelia’s cheeks at his words.
She shook her head violently and took a few steps back. “Oscar, my mind is in a mess right now. I can’t
forget the sight of you having sex with another woman. That was too huge a blow. We’re both
emotional, so let’s take it easy and talk about our divorce a few days later. That’s the best for both of
us,” she stated.
Oscar narrowed his eyes as a faint gleam of malice shone in his eyes.
“I won’t agree to a divorce. Don’t think you can leave me!” he declared.
Amelia felt drained. The divorce was going to be the death of them both.
