Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452 Apology

Amelia, who was busy dealing with her blueprint design in the company, rushed to the washroom when she received Tiffany’s message.

When she called Tiffany, the latter sounded as though she was about to cry. “I didn’t heed your advice at all, Babe. I had another argument with Mrs. Hisson. It’s all because I’m an impulsive and impatient woman. I really tried my best not to get angry, but looks like it was a pointless endeavor in the end.”

“Calm down and tell me what happened.”

Tiffany briefly explained the incident that had taken place.

Amelia wasn’t sure what to say, but she still asked, “If you’ve endured it for hours, why didn’t you hold back for a little longer, Tiffany?”

There was silence on the other end for a dozen seconds before Tiffany spoke up again. “I wanted to. It’s just that… I couldn’t stand her bullying after hours of following her around like her maid.”

“I don’t think we can talk properly on the phone. How about you come to my company half an hour later? We’ll have lunch together and we can discuss your next move,” Amelia suggested.

“Sure.”

After hanging up the phone, Amelia couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows. Mrs. Hisson is harder to deal with than I thought. Ever since Tiffany became a freelance author and was no longer restricted by a workplace, she became used to doing things her way. Her impatient personality certainly isn’t a helpful trait against someone like Mrs. Hisson. I wonder, is Derrick really going to be the right man for her? If she marries into the Hisson family, can she really handle the social interactions she’ll have to partake in upper-class gatherings? Will she even like it?

Amelia was getting unsure of what she should do because she knew firsthand how terrible it felt to take part in the upper-class society without being used to them. Maybe it’ll be better if Tiffany finds another man. Not having a similar social status isn’t something that she can easily ignore as time goes on. I suppose we’ll just have to see how it goes. It’s her decision to stay with Derrick, after all, and so this is a journey she must go through. As much as I wish to interfere, all I can do is give her advice.

Amelia met up with Tiffany at a restaurant close to her company. Both of them sat by the window and ordered a couple of dishes that they liked before handing the menu back to the server.

Seeing that Tiffany was still looking upset, Amelia asked, “Are you all right?”

Tiffany shook her head. “No. Not at all.”

“Cheer up a little. There’s no point in mulling over something that has already happened. It’s more important to focus on a solution right now.”

A sigh escaped Tiffany’s lips. “When I agreed to stay with Derrick, I thought it wasn’t going to be complicated. I can’t believe how wrong I was, Babe. Only now have I realized how simple my view of things was. Rich families value manners and rules above almost all else. Even Derrick can’t protect me forever or else his relatives will speak badly about him. He can’t win even if he has a hundred mouths. I was too naïve.”

Amelia’s heart wrenched when she saw how much agony Tiffany was in. Tiffany had been there for her through some of the toughest parts of her life. She never once abandoned her. While they weren’t related by blood, their relationship with each other was tighter than those who were. Their kinship with each other was indestructible.

“Do you regret it?” she asked softly.

Tiffany glanced at her and chuckled. “Of course not. I was just overwhelmed by negative emotions, that’s all. I’ve been in love with Derrick for two years now, and I’ve given him everything I have. There’s no way I’ll give up on him that easily. As long as he still wants me by his side, I won’t leave.”

Determination could be seen in her eyes.

Amelia smiled and patted the back of her hand. “That’s more like it. Now you look like the Tiffany I know. You almost gave me a scare with how down you looked earlier.”

“Sorry for making you worry, Babe.” An embarrassed smile crept up on Tiffany’s face.

Amelia shook her head in a nonplussed manner before she pinched her nose. “I’ll be happy to share your burden, and you certainly can tell me everything that you can’t talk with Derrick about. But to be frank, I do think that you were too impulsive today.”

Tiffany’s expression promptly turned back to a depressed one.

The server served the dishes they ordered and temporarily halted their conversation.

When all the food arrived, Amelia intentionally changed the topic. “You should eat first. I bet you’re hungry after accompanying them for three hours in the mall.”
