Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Not Meant To Be

Amelia, Tiffany, and Kurt were having breakfast the following day when somebody banged on the front door. Baffled, Amelia quickly moved her gaze onto Tiffany, who seemed just as mystified.

“I’ll go see who it is,” informed Kurt after setting his fork down.

Checking the monitor beside the door, Kurt could see a good-looking man standing right outside. He just so happened to have met the man a couple of times when they were both working for Oscar.

Furrowing his brows, Kurt was somewhat reluctant to let the man in. However, at that moment, Tiffany inquired, “Who is it, Kurt?”

“Some lunatic. I’ll take care of it. You guys enjoy breakfast,” replied Kurt without turning around.

“If there’s a lunatic out there, I think it’s best you stay inside, Kurt. Let him bang all he wants. I’m sure he’ll leave once he’s had enough,” suggested Amelia with a weak voice. Because of the hangover, she still had a headache and was as pale as a ghost.

Amelia only regretted drinking too much the night before when the hangover took its toll on her.

“It’s going to be fine. I know how to fight, remember? Lunatics like this guy don’t stand a chance against me. I’ll be back before you know it. Enjoy your breakfast.” With that, Kurt opened the door just as quickly as he closed it behind him so that Amelia and Tiffany could not catch a glimpse of the person outside.

Leaning his back against the door, Kurt narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him.

“Who are you? I’m here for Amelia. She’s inside, isn’t she?” questioned Carter Scott as he glared at Kurt hostilely.

“You’ve got the wrong place, pal. There’s no Amelia here.” Kurt decided to lie to the man.

“Isn’t this Tiffany’s place?” continued Carter with knitted brows.

“Nope. As I said, wrong place, so I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to leave. If you refuse, I’ll call the police,” warned Kurt with a stern face.

The two men then stood their ground and sized each other up.

After a while, Carter unexpectedly dashed past Kurt to open the front door and went inside before the man could respond.

Amelia, still having her breakfast, immediately jumped up when she saw Carter barge in. “Carter? How did you—”

Before Amelia could finish her sentence, Carter rushed forward to wrap his arms tightly around her.

“Let me go, Carter! You’re squeezing me! I can’t breathe,” exclaimed Amelia as she tried to break free from the man.

However, Carter ignored Amelia’s demand and continued to hold her.

“Carter, could you please just let me go? Tiff and the others are here.”

Tiffany tried to help free Amelia after her friend gestured to her for help. However, before she could even reach Amelia, Kurt swiftly snatched her friend away from Carter. The two men then proceeded to look daggers at each other.

“Let go of her now!” ordered Carter when he saw Amelia in the arms of a strange man.

Instead of doing as he was told, Kurt tightened his arms around Amelia, further upsetting Carter.

“Who the heck is that, Amelia?” questioned Carter.

With her head still hurting, Amelia had enough on her plate as it was and would rather not deal with Carter’s sudden appearance. Her divorce with Oscar already had her completely drained.

“What are you doing here, Carter?” asked Amelia, trying to change the subject.

Still glaring at Kurt, Carter took a deep breath before inquiring, “I heard that you and Oscar divorced. Is that true?”

Amelia could feel heartache again as the man’s question only served to open her wound.

“What do you want, jinx?” As she always did, Tiffany stepped forward once again to protect her friend.

However, Carter’s eyes remained on Amelia as if he did not hear a single word Tiffany had said.

Tiffany rolled her eyes at Carter when she was ignored by yet another man. At that point, she was already used to being disregarded by men whenever Amelia was around.

“Someone told me that you and Oscar divorced, Amelia. I need to know. Is that true?” repeated Carter.

“How does that have anything to do with you, jinx? Are you trying to rub salt into her wound? Or are you here because you think you have a chance now?” Tiffany glowered at Carter in disbelief.
