Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Spend More Time With Him

Derrick drove back to his apartment. After taking a hot shower, he lay on his sofa lazily and took out his phone to dial a number.

The moment the call was connected, Derrick’s expression and voice became gentle. “Hey, Tiff, it’s me.”

Tiffany told Amelia that it was Derrick calling her and that she was going outside to talk on the phone.

Upon getting Amelia’s permission, Tiffany walked out and asked, “Mr. Hisson, did you see Oscar today? Did he find out anything?”

Derrick pretended to be mad as he replied, “Tiff, I’ve been thinking about you all day, but you’re asking me about another man? I’m really upset. I won’t answer your questions unless you give me a kiss through the phone.”

Tiffany cringed hard when she heard that. After being together for almost two months, Derrick had gradually revealed the childish side of him in front of her. His aloofness had completely vanished. Seeing the man acting like that, Tiffany suddenly had the urge to break things off with him.

Naturally, that was impossible, so she could only accept him.

“Stop fooling around, Mr. Hisson.” After being familiar with each other, Tiffany could finally interact with Derrick calmly instead of being nervous all the time.

Derrick continued to fool with her for some time. That was an act of romance between the two of them. Moreover, Derrick realized that Tiffany enjoyed seeing him acting coquettishly. Since she could not resist him, Derrick took advantage of it.

“Tiff, if you don’t blow me a kiss, I’ll hang up the phone right now.” Just when Derrick was about to hang up the phone for real, he heard a soft smooching sound through the receiver.

He smiled with satisfaction.

Feeling embarrassed, Tiffany chided, “Are you happy now? Hurry up and tell me. Otherwise, I won’t answer your phone call within this month.”

Derrick knew the limits, so he said in satisfaction, “I met Oscar. He’s quite an interesting man.”

“What happened? Did he find out Amelia’s location?”

Derrick answered, “He sent someone to stalk me.” He wanted to see Tiffany being anxious for him. Clearly, he loved to tease her.

“Did they do anything to you?” Tiffany questioned anxiously. She knew exactly how ruthless Oscar was.

“Tiff, you’re underestimating your man. I’m fine. That being said, I do have to be more careful if I visit you in Beshya. After all, those men who Oscar sent to follow me are experts,” Derrick explained solemnly.

“If so, don’t come over yet. Amelia’s effort would go down the drain if Oscar finds us,” Tiffany said.

Hearing that, Derrick was in disbelief.

“Tiff, what did you say?”

“Mr. Hisson, I’m sorry. I would like to see you, too, but we can’t let Oscar find Amelia. I’m uncertain of his feelings for Amelia, so I can’t let her take the risk. I hope you understand this,” Tiffany explained with a sense of guilt.

Even though Derrick was mad, he chuckled.

His laughter gave Tiffany the goosebumps.

“Mr. Hisson, are you all right?” Although both of them were very close now, Tiffany got used to addressing him as ‘Mr. Hisson.’ To her, that was an intimate title between the two of them.

“My girlfriend doesn’t want to see me. How could I be all right?”

“Mr. Hisson, that’s not it. I’m just-”

“Tiff, have you ever thought about it? If there’s ever a time where you have to choose between Amelia and me, whose side would you take?” Derrick asked seriously.

Tiffany was stunned into silence for a long while at that.

Letting out a sigh, Derrick said, “Tiff, I know I’m being petty, but I’m feeling aggrieved because of how much you care for Amelia. My love rival isn’t a man, but your best friend. I can’t even complain about it. Would you even sacrifice your love just for Amelia?”

“I wouldn’t, of course,” Tiffany refuted instinctively. Yet, her voice sounded guilty.

“Really?” Derrick deliberately stressed his words. “Tiff, I’m willing to take care of Amelia with you, but please give me more of your attention, okay? I’m jealous of her sometimes, really. You might think that I’m being petty, but no man would want to see their woman being so focused on someone else.”

Tiffany felt guilty. She was at a loss now, after hearing Derrick’s complaints.

“D-Derrick, if you’re not satisfied with me, maybe we should split up for some time. You can tell me your answer after you think it through. I’ll let you make the decision on whether to break up or not. However, ever since the day I’ve promised to be with you, I’ve never thought of giving you up. Yet, I can’t just leave Amelia in this situation. You should think about it. I’m hanging up now.”

Derrick was stunned. He did not expect the conversation to escalate so quickly.

Anxious, he said, “Tiff, hold on. Don’t hang up yet. I have something to say.”
