Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Disappointed

Tony was so well-behaved and quiet in Kurt’s arms that Tiffany couldn’t help but be impressed. With two thumbs up, she said, “What power you have, Kurt. Tony stopped wailing as soon as you got here. Not only can you be the male lead in an action film, but you’re also Tony’s future nanny. Congratulations! You’ve found yourself another job on top of being a bodyguard!”

Kurt’s lips twitched, still saying nothing.

Amelia tugged at Tiffany’s shirt, beckoning for her to stop spouting nonsense. Jokes were only appropriate in front of friends and family, not strangers like Kurt.

“Kurt, what are you doing here?” Amelia quizzed.

“Ma’am, I’m in charge of your protection now. I’ll follow you wherever you go,” Kurt replied solemnly.

Amelia flinched at the way Kurt greeted her. It was something she could never get used to, no matter how many times she had heard it.

“Kurt, please call me Amelia. I feel awkward being spoken to like that.”

Kurt gently patted Tony’s back before replying, “Yes, ma’am.”

Tiffany raised her hand and patted Kurt on his back. “Hey, Kurt, take it easy. You’re about the same age as Amelia, so calling her ma’am makes her sound like a princess from some faraway land. Call her by her name. It’s more natural like that.”

Kurt merely nodded.

After that, Tiffany instructed Kurt to carry Tony into the bedroom and placed him on the bed.

Seeing the smile on Tony’s face, Tiffany couldn’t help but chuckle. “Oh, Tony. You didn’t like it when two pretty ladies carried you, but here you are, smiling so gleefully after being carried by a handsome guy. Let me warn you now, you better not treat future ladies in your life like that. Otherwise, don’t blame me for smacking you.”

Kurt couldn’t stop his lips from twitching. This woman really says the darndest things.

Amelia, on the other hand, couldn’t stop laughing. “Stop it, Tiff! You’re so full of sh*t.”

Tiffany shrugged as she continued to play with Tony. “Kurt, you’re now Amelia’s bodyguard, aren’t you? You’ll listen to everything she says then?”

Despite having a sneaking suspicion that Tiffany was up to no good, Kurt nodded.

Tiffany snapped her fingers in glee and said, “Good! We have just the thing for you to do now. I have here a list of things that Tony needs. Can you get them for us? Have a look and let me know if you have any questions.”

Kurt received the sheet of paper from Tiffany, only to find it filled with words.

“Ok?” Tiffany once again asked.

Kurt nodded before leaving to get started with the errand.

Amelia glanced at Tony before turning toward Tiffany. “Tiff, what did you get Kurt to buy? Ordering him about doesn’t seem very nice, especially when he isn’t all that familiar with us.”

Tiffany shrugged nonchalantly and brushed Amelia off. “It’s not every day that you get a big, strong man to help out with errands. If I don’t get him to do it, then it’s down to us. Are you sure you want that?”

Amelia held her tongue. She hated to admit it, but Tiffany made a lot of sense.

Ever the efficient worker, Kurt returned in less than half an hour with his hands full of bags.

Amelia was about to help him with one of the bags when Kurt moved away from her.

“I’ve bought everything that was listed on the paper,” Kurt said as he placed the bags on the sofa.

Tiffany looked through the bags thoroughly before giving Kurt a thumbs up. “Well done, Kurt. You’re the most handsome and efficient bodyguard I’ve ever met!”

Despite the compliments, Kurt remained stoic.

Unbothered by his lack of response, Tiffany started to unpack the bags.

Perhaps Kurt’s presence had helped as Amelia and Tiffany became a lot more grounded ever since he arrived.

The funniest thing was, Tony truly and absolutely loved Kurt. Whenever Kurt carried him, not only did he stop crying, but he’d also burst out laughing and flail his arms about in glee.

Tiffany became so jealous of Kurt that she couldn’t help but voice her displeasure. “Hey, Kurt, stop trying to charm Tony with your looks. Tony’s still young and can’t differentiate between handsome and ugly. You better keep yourself in check.”

Kurt remained expressionless as he listened intently.

After some more teasing, Tiffany asked, “By the way, Kurt, are you planning on staying the night in my humble abode? I don’t think that’d be very appropriate, would it?” As innocent as her question might have sounded, she was also indirectly hinting for Kurt to take his leave.

“It’s my responsibility to protect ma’am.”

“Oh, really? I haven’t met any bodyguard who guards this closely,” Tiffany replied with a smirk.

Kurt remained silent, not wanting to engage anymore.

Eventually, Tiffany had no choice but to prepare the guest room for him. “Guess what, Kurt? You’re the first man to stay in my humble abode. Careful not to let Oscar know. Otherwise, he might punish you for it.”

Kurt gingerly took a pillow and blanket from the bed and turned to Tiffany. “I’ll take care of Tony. You and ma’am can go to bed. If need be, I don’t mind waking up a few times in the middle of the night.”

Tiffany gave Kurt a quizzical look before asking, “Are you sure?”

Kurt nodded, much to the delight of Tiffany.

“You’re going to be Tony’s best nanny, Kurt! He’s all yours then!”

Already immune to Tiffany’s nonsense, Kurt barely responded.

With Kurt’s help, Amelia and Tiffany finally managed to get a good night’s sleep. Earlier on, they were still worried about how they’d get through the night with a wailing infant, yet now it was the most peaceful night. As such, Tony’s mother and godmother slept very soundly in their respective rooms, not waking up even once to check on him.

Subconsciously, they knew that Kurt was the bodyguard sent by Oscar. As such, they could trust him with Tony and also trust that he wouldn’t hurt them in any way.

In other words, Amelia still had a lot of trust in Oscar and believed that he would never cause any harm to her or Tony.
