Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328 Giving In When Necessary

Amelia chewed on Tiffany’s words and relented. After all, what she said made sense, so they decided to stay for the day. “But you’d better tell Derrick we’re moving in advance. Don’t tell him about Mrs. Hisson, though. You’re his girlfriend. I think it’ll be out of line for you to complain to him about her, so it’s better that he finds out about her visit from other people. Plus, you shouldn’t talk about it even if he doesn’t find out.”

Tiffany nodded, but she quickly recalled that Amelia could not see her. “Alright,” she quickly said.

Amelia turned toward Kurt and gestured at him to take Tony. “I’ll go and pack Tony and my stuff first. You can pack yours later. As for the house, I have a few friends that I know over here. We should probably try to contact Reese and see if there are any houses available for us.”

“Oh, about that. I forgot to tell you that I got an agent to scout for a house two weeks ago. The agent already purchased a property for us, and it’s in Beshya. From what I know, the security and amenities around that area are unquestionable. I was just thinking about asking you when will be a good time to move.”

Amelia listened to him in surprise. It did not even cross her mind that Kurt had already settled accommodation for them a long time ago.

Nevertheless, his kindness unsettled Amelia. She knew in her heart how Kurt had always looked out for her and Tony. It was obvious that he saw her not just as his employer, yet Amelia could not and would not reciprocate his feelings.

“Don’t worry about it, Amelia. We’re friends, and I’m Tony’s godfather. It’s only natural that I do all these for him. You don’t have to feel indebted toward me.” Kurt saw through Amelia and addressed the issue directly.

“Thanks, Kurt.” There was so much she wanted to tell him, but Amelia swallowed her words and replied shortly.

Kurt smiled without answering as he watched the two women walk out of the nursery.

“Amelia, have you never ever considered Kurt? He’s a good man,” Tiffany asked after they arrived at their room.

“Tiff.” Amelia sounded solemn.

Tiffany said no more.

Seeing that Tiffany had remained silent, Amelia softened her tone and turned in Tiffany’s direction. “Kurt and I can only be friends. I’m forever grateful to him for his help and what he did for Tony, but there’s already someone special whom I will never forget in my heart. It’s impossible for someone else to take his place, so I don’t want to lead Kurt on or give him any false hope.”

Tiffany helped Amelia to the bed and crouched down in front of her. After that, she tilted her head to look at her friend.

“Amelia, you knew the Clintons would never forgive you when you took Tony and left without saying a word to them. Even if Oscar is willing to mend fences and wait for you, do you think his mother will let you marry into the family again? You know it’s never going to happen, so why don’t you consider Kurt? Try to get to know him and let him into your heart. He might not be the most romantic man, but he can make a good husband. You’re still young, and you can’t just spend the rest of your life waiting and not moving on.”

Amelia smiled bitterly. She did not know what else to say to make Tiffany understand her feelings. To her, Oscar would always be the only man in her life, and she would never have eyes for anyone else other than him.

“Tiff, you should call Derrick and talk to him about what happened. Don’t get into a fight with him over this.” Amelia changed the topic. She did not want Tiffany to project her anger toward Kate on Derrick.

Tiffany stood up and took out her phone to call Derrick. However, before she could say anything, Derrick told her, “I’m already in Beshya, Tiff. I know my mom’s already at the villa. I don’t know what she said to you, but don’t let it bother you. I’m here.”

Tiffany was surprised Derrick already knew about what happened and that he even took a flight straight to Beshya because of this.

“Alright,” Tiffany replied sheepishly before ending the call.

“What’s the matter, Tiff?” Amelia asked.

“He’ll be here in a bit.”

Amelia was equally astonished. She never thought that Derrick would reach here that soon.

Right after that, the two women fell into silence, trying to process everything.

As Derrick himself said, he arrived at the villa in no time. Kate was startled when Jeremy told him that Derrick was already here. “Were you the one who told him?” she asked, glaring at the butler.

“I didn’t, Mrs. Hisson. Even if I had told him, it would take him more than two hours to get here.” It was apparent that Derrick was already aware of Kate’s visit before she even arrived.

Just as Kate was about to further question the man, Derrick charged into the room.

His mother quickly put on a gentle face and went over to welcome him. “What brings you here, Derrick?”
