Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Beautiful

Amelia and Tiffany finally came to an agreement, but both still had a grim expression on.

“I’d like to talk to Cassie in person,” said Amelia after she sipped some tea.

Tiffany just stared at her for she could barely keep up with Amelia’s way of thoughts at that moment. So she’s not just going to push her husband into another woman’s arm? She’s also going to talk to her love rival?

“Well, you have gone nuts, Babe,” concluded Tiffany.

“Our plan won’t work without Cassie,” replied Amelia calmly.

Tiffany bulged her eyes in disbelief. She asked, “You’re going to let her in on your plan?”

“We can’t implement our plan without her.”

“Amelia, you have gone crazy. You know she doesn’t like you, but you’re still going to tell her your plan? I am certain that she will tell Oscar the truth once the dust settles. If that happens, Oscar will really hate you and there’ll be no turning back,” reminded Tiffany angrily.

Amelia remained calm and unmoved. “That is exactly what I want. On top of that, I want her to tell Oscar that I have fallen for someone else.”

Tiffany was so angry that she kicked the floor. She kept glaring at Amelia. If possible, the former wanted to crack the latter’s head open and see what was wrong with her brain.

“Amelia, are you kidding me?”

Amelia shook her head while hanging her head down.

“Why? If you do all that, you won’t just hurt yourself. In fact, you’ll hurt Oscar too. That will make it virtually impossible for the two of you to be together again.”

“I want him to hate me and see me as a vile woman. That way, he won’t hurt as much from the divorce. Most importantly, he can move on and fall in love with another woman.”

Tiffany shook her head in exasperation. She couldn’t understand Amelia at all. Her plan was totally absurd. As far as Tiffany was concerned, a married couple should go through thick and thin together. Yet, the stupid woman sitting in front of me is going to face all the hardship by herself. I honestly don’t understand what kind of love this is.

Tiffany crouched down in front of Amelia, held her hand and said, “Calm down, Babe. You don’t need to be so harsh. If you cut all ties with Oscar and make things that bad, I guarantee that everything will be messed up. Oscar can be cruel, and I bet you will have to leave penniless besides losing Tony’s custody, so we have to plan things well. We don’t need to include Cassie in this. Seriously, your plan is too extreme. If we do as you planned, things between you and Oscar will truly be over. No one can accept their wife conning them like that, so I think we should plan it carefully. My suggestion is that you leave Cassie out of this. There’s no need to go to the extreme. You need to think about Tony. The kid needs his father, so don’t act rashly.”

Amelia turned to Tiffany. The former thought about it and eventually nodded in agreement.

Tiffany sighed a breath of relief after that. She was truly worried that Amelia would do something stupid in the heat of the moment. Thank the heavens she asked me out to discuss the matter before doing anything. Who knows what will happen if she hadn’t done that?

“Let’s go. We’ll work on the issue you talked about earlier after we have a better plan. However, if you don’t want to leave Oscar, I suggest you change your mind on the matter. The Clintons have dozens of maids, and they can take care of you, even if you go blind,” said Tiffany with a heavy heart.

Amelia stood up and informed, “Tiff, if you don’t want to help me, I can manage it on my own.”

Tiffany sighed. She knew that Amelia too well and was aware of how there was no changing Amelia’s mind once something had been decided. Hence, Tiffany knew that Amelia had thought things through before deciding to get a divorce.

Amelia loved Oscar. No one knew that better than Tiffany, and she knew that Amelia would never ask for a divorce if it weren’t for the fact that she was going blind.

“I’ll help you, Babe. Back then, I was the one who told you to get a divorce because I knew that you weren’t happy. Now, I will be the one to stand by your side as you struggle through this divorce. Our friendship will never die,” said Tiffany.

Amelia couldn’t help but feel comforted and smiled.

“I’m so sorry, Tiff, and thank you for everything.”

“It’s fine. Stop being so polite. Come stay with me after you get a divorce from Oscar.”

Amelia shook her head.

“I want to leave the city with Tony. Oscar and I have too many memories here. Maybe I’ll be back in the future after I’ve truly let everything go,” replied Amelia. Her eyes shone with sorrow as she spoke.

Tiffany was taken aback, but she eventually said, “That’s fine, too. I am basically a freelance writer, so all I need is to complete my assignments on time and e-mail it to Shannon. She won’t complain, and I can leave with you.”

Amelia’s lips parted, but Tiffany was faster. The latter said, “Babe, you are not allowed to say that it’s fine for you and Tony to leave on your own. If you still regard me as your BFF, then stop talking like that, or I will never forgive you.”

Amelia swallowed the words she was about to say. She had so much to say but turn them into a single phrase. “Thank you, Tiff.”

Tiffany stoked Amelia’s shoulders to offer some comfort.

“Come on, I’ll treat you to a great meal. We have to fill our stomachs if we are to plan for the divorce. That annoying Oscar is a smart one, and we’ll surely fail if we go against him on an empty stomach,” said Tiffany. She deliberately made it sound light, but she actually felt extremely uncomfortable. However, Tiffany knew that Amelia must feel worse, so she put on a cheery smile.

“Maybe some other day, Tiff. I have to go back to Tony,” replied Amelia.

Tiffany turned to Amelia and said, “Okay, then let me walk you home. I’ll go home after that and will take a week to come up with a perfect plan. Don’t do anything impulsive before I clue you in on the plan, okay?”

Amelia just smiled at that.

“You go on home, Tiff. I want to go for a walk and be on my own for a while. I’ll grab a cab home if I get tired,” said Amelia.

Tiffany scanned Amelia once. Then, she sighed internally before asking, “Are you sure you’ll be okay on your own?”
