Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 519

Both Tiffany and Derrick enjoyed their delicious meals. Once they were done eating, Derrick wiped his mouth elegantly with a napkin. He then grabbed another clean napkin to wipe off the stains around Tiffany's mouth. With a smile, he asked, “Was the taste okay?”

Tiffany gave a thumbs up. She praised, “They were delicious! The taste of the food here is simply perfect! I liked them very much.”

“Since you like the food here, we should come here more often in the future.” Derrick put the napkin aside and smiled dotingly.

Tiffany placed her chin on her hands. She looked at Derrick momentarily before saying directly, “Derrick, the food was like your face. You look like a snack. Even if I was eating a plate of bland meat, I could still enjoy it very much. Any ordinary dish can taste even more delicious just by looking at you.”

Derrick did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Do I have to go back and thank my mom for giving me this face?” he asked. In the past, Derrick hated himself for looking too androgynous. In his opinion, a man had to look masculine. Although he did not have a feminine appearance, it was hard for him to feel proud of his beautiful and almost enchanting face. But as he saw how the woman he loved was looking at him, he started feeling that it was all worth it.

If I never had this face of mine, we might not have ended up together. People attach great importance to physical appearances. I understand this.

“Tell me, then. Do you like my looks or my personality?” Derrick deliberately asked to put her in a spot.

Tiffany thought about it seriously.

She then replied, “To tell you the truth, I fell in love with your face first. Although I'm not an angelic beauty, I'm still a good-looking person. I like people with good looks, so my heart skipped a beat when I first saw you. My heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of my throat. I thought that I would only be watching you from a distance, admiring your face along the way. I never expected that we would end up together. At the time, I thought a gift fell from heaven and landed right at my feet. It was so surreal.”

Derrick could not help but chuckle.

The two talked for a while. But then, Derrick fell silent.

Tiffany looked at him curiously. She asked, “Derrick, what's wrong?”

Derrick pondered for a while and said, “Tiff, there is something that I want to tell you. I'm just thinking about how I should tell you about it.”

Tiffany's eyes suddenly widened, leaning forward as she was interested. She responded, “Tell me. I'm very curious. You've always been helping me all this time. It's rare of you to ask me for help.”

Derrick pursed his lips. He asked, “I heard that Amelia got hurt on her forehead a few days ago. How is she?”

Tiffany gave him a strange look. She replied, “Oh yeah. It was Jennifer's mom who did that. Could it be that Jennifer went looking for you?”

Derrick shook his head. He replied, “It's all because of my mom. The woman who hurt Amelia is close to my mom. That's why she's so fond of Jennifer. When Jennifer begged my mom to help her mom, my mom begged me to do the same. Since my mom already asked me to, it's impossible for me to refuse her. If not, then she'll dislike you even more.”

Tiffany's face darkened instantly.

“Derrick, are you planning to help that woman plead for leniency?” Tiffany stared at Derrick. The joy and passion she had from eating the food had already disappeared completely.

Derrick sternly replied, “I'm not going to help that woman plead for leniency. I only want you to leave a good impression on my mom. I don't want her to see you living so miserably. Even I feel distressed when I see you suffering. Of course, if you don't want to talk to Amelia, then pretend like I never said anything. I'll only get a few earfuls from my mom when I get back home. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable, after all.”

Tiffany suddenly calmed down, and the anger on her face slowly faded away.

“Sorry, I was getting too emotional just now.” Tiffany lowered her head.

Derrick thought about it before saying, “Tiff, I know that my request is a bit excessive, but she asked my mother. I already refused her two days ago. If I refuse her again this time, I'm afraid that she might feel uncomfortable.”

Tiffany remained silent.

“Forget it. Forget what I said. I'm sorry. Don't take it to heart, now. I'll drive you home. After that, I'll go back to the company to work.”

Derrick stood up. He looked like a handsome young man who was very tolerant.
