Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 36

Olivia’s face was calm as she said, “Let’s eat. There’re guests around today. Let’s not make a fool of ourselves in front of them.”

Due to Stephanie’s fit of temper, the Yard family trio left swiftly after the meal. As Owen’s earlier proposal wasn’t taken seriously in the end, he didn’t ask them to stay either.

After the guests left, Owen turned to look at his daughter. “Steph, you’re getting out of hand. Your mom is an elder. How could you talk back to her?”

Stephanie shot a vicious glare at Amelia and said, “Dad, I wasn’t talking back to Mom. I simply cannot stand a particular person, that’s all.”

“Steph, no matter what, Amelia’s your sister-in-law. To shoot your mouth off in the presence of outsiders not only embarrasses her, but it embarrasses your brother as well. If the Yards were to gossip about this with others, how do you suppose others would look at our family? The Clintons have been made enough of a joke in society because of the Yards. How are you still so ignorant?”

Stephanie was visibly upset. “Dad, are you lecturing me?”

Amelia, being the peacekeeper of the house, chimed in, “Dad, this matter aroused because of me. My family’s background is unworthy of Oscar. It’s only natural for Stephanie to dislike me.”

Oscar frowned, disliking how self-deprecating Amelia was behaving. He uttered coldly, “Stephanie, apologize to Amelia.”

Stephanie stared at Oscar in disbelief, her face flushing red in rage. “All of you are too much! You’re all bullying your own family for an outsider”—she stood up—”you expect me to apologize to her? Dream on! I detest her!”

She then stormed upstairs before anyone could stop her.

Olivia held onto Amelia’s hands and tried to smooth things over. “Amelia, Steph is temperamental and mischievous. Please don’t take her words to heart.”

Amelia chuckled. “Mom, don’t worry. Steph’s my sister-in-law. I won’t mind whatever she says. I’m only looking forward to being with Oscar for a long time. I won’t fret about irrelevant matters.”

Olivia patted her hand in content and praised, “You’re a sensible child.”

Standing at the side, Oscar uttered, “Mom, there are still matters to handle at the company. I’ll return before dinner.”

“It’s the weekend. What matters could there be?”

“Technical issues. I’ll be back soon.”

Olivia glanced at him in disapproval and chided, “You should be spending the weekends with your wife. Don’t be like your father and become a workaholic.”

“Mom, the Clinton Corporations has thousands of employees. There’s a lot of pressure on

No matter how busy work is, you ought to find time to spend with her. Don’t think about unnecessary thoughts as soon as someone has returned. Though Amelia doesn’t blame you, I as your mother won’t let you off easy. I may not have a job, but I’m not a fool. If you’re going out
