Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 23

Not only were Oscar‘s friends rich and powerful, but they were also handsome men. In fact, their looks were on par with Oscar. Jacques laughed. “Amelia, come here and have a seat. You guys have been married for four years, and if not for our request, he would have continued to keep you away from us. He‘s a terrible friend. Come, sit with us and leave him alone for today.” Amelia promptly walked over, surprising Jacques and Kenrick, who then let out a hearty laugh. With how they were brought up, they were open with how they did things. They were used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, and deep down, they still did not like the pretentious ones. Although the delicate ones made them feel pity for them, at the end of the day, they would still be sick of them.

And with this drink, I shall call you my friend from now on,” Jacques declared as he poured half a glass of wine for her. A glint flitted across Amelia‘s eyes as she took the glass from Jacques. Downing it instantly, she chuckled. “Oscar‘s friends really are agreeable people. I like talking to agreeable and smart people.” Jacques was intrigued by Amelia the more he spoke to her. On the other hand, Kenrick was looking at Amelia with a complicated expression. “Amelia,” Jacques said with a smile. “Here‘s another toast. You can come to me whenever Oscar does you wrong. I‘ll teach him a lesson for you.”

Amelia clinked her glass against his, grinning. “I‘ll keep that in mind. And you‘ll have to tell me too if he tries to mess around with some other woman.” This was the kind of personality Jacques liked. “Great, I like that. Don‘t worry, Amelia. I‘ll be your spy. If he dares look for someone else, I‘ll be sure to beat him into shape.” (Daily latest update www.m.techkaushal.com) Amelia turned to give Oscar an ambiguous smile. “Darling, did you hear that? Your friend‘s already

changing sides. You‘ve got to be careful from now on.” “Just don‘t get drunk,” Oscar simply replied. “Got it, Darling,” Amelia answered obediently, knowing that she shouldn‘t tarnish the man‘s reputation in public. Kenrick glanced at both Oscar and Amelia. (Daily latest update www.m.techkaushal.com) After a while, Oscar stood up, stating that he was heading to the restroom. Right as Oscar left the room, Kenrick told the others he was going to use the restroom as well. “When did Kenrick and Oscar get so close?” Jacques huffed as soon as they walked out. Someone laughed. “You‘re already chatty after a few glasses. Be careful, or Oscar and Kenrick might overhear your words and beat you up.” (Daily latest update www.m.techkaushal.com) Jacques laughed boisterously before winking at Amelia cheekily. “Amelia, you won‘t tell them, will you?” Amelia laughed in response. While the merry atmosphere in the room continued, Kenrick was speaking to Oscar in the restroom. “Oscar, Amelia looks like a good person. Are you really going to divorce her for a woman who once betrayed you?”(Daily latest update www.m.techkaushal.com) “It‘s so unlike you to ask me about my private matters, Kenrick,” Oscar said. Kenrick dried his hands and responded, “I just don‘t want you to do anything you‘ll regret. Amelia does seem like Cassie, but she‘s much more easy–going than her. Are you really not going to reconsider your decision?”. (Daily latest update www.m.techkaushal.com) Oscar‘s expression instantly turned dark, and his tone turned glacial. “Kenrick, you‘re an old friend of mine, so you should know that I‘ll never do anything that I‘ll regret. Also, I don‘t like to hear anyone talking bad about Cassie.” (Daily latest update www.m.techkaushal.com) Hearing that, Kenrick shook his head. “Well, since you‘re going to divorce Amelia, I‘ll be able to court her then once the two of you have gone through the procedures. If you‘re not gonna cherish her, I‘ll do it; I‘ll be the one to care for her.” Those were the words that made several emotions flash past Oscar‘s face. “You can‘t court a friend‘s wife.” (Daily latest update www.m.techkaushal.com)

“Well, aren‘t you going to divorce her?” Oscar fell silent “Once the two of you are divorced, she‘ll be single. If you can abandon her for your old love, why can‘t I court her? She‘s pretty on the outside and the inside, and I quite like her.” “What kind of spell does she have you under? You‘re putting in a good word for her even if it means that you‘ll make me mad.” Kenrick was amused. “Oscar, we‘ve known each other for so many years. Do I look like I‘m that kind of person? I just think Amelia‘s a good person. She‘s single after her divorce from you, and there‘s nothing wrong with an unmarried man and woman in a relationship. I‘m telling you my plans because I don‘t want to lose our friendship over a woman.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
