Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640 More Troubles Again

Later, Kate received a text message from June. In it, he stated the time and address of the meetup as though he knew she would surely turn up for it.

Kate scorned coldly and threw the phone back into her bag.

She had supposedly wanted to ignore the text message, but on second thought, she changed her mind and dressed herself up to head out.

“Where are you going? You’re all dolled up,” Finnick asked.

Kate gave him a smooch on his cheek and smiled. “I have a date with Daisy and the others. We’ll have lunch together and then do some shopping. I’ll be back in the evening after tea with them.”

He returned a kiss but on her lips. “Do you have enough cash with you?”

“I not only have credit cards with an unlimited credit line but also a black card with me. As long as those shops have a wireless payment terminal, I won’t be broke.”

“Stay safe while shopping, then. Don’t skip your meals too.”

“I got it, Sir. You’re honestly such a steward.”

After getting herself ready, Kate made her way down, only to run into Terrence sitting on the couch in the living room reading the newspaper. Sensing her approaching, he shot a glance at her.

“Dad, I have a date with Daisy and won’t be home for lunch later,” Kate expressed.

Terrence merely bobbed his head.

His behavior barely bothered her as she continued, “I’ll get going, Dad.” With that, she clattered toward the door in her high heels.

“Kate, never resort to harsh methods. Leaving some leeway for others is equivalent to leaving some for yourself. Don’t pressurize the younger ones too much, or else things might backfire, and you’ll ultimately be the one who loses everything.” Terrence’s voice suddenly piped up behind her.

Hearing that, Kate paused in her tracks and turned around. “Dad, what do you mean? I don’t get it,” she queried with a soft smile.

Terrence picked up the newspaper again and said without looking up, “Aren’t you going shopping?”

Unsure of what he had wanted to imply behind those words, Kate turned and headed out.

Acting under Kate’s instructions, the chauffeur safely sent her to the destination and reported, “Mrs. Hisson, we’re here.”

“Richard, head back here to fetch me in an hour,” Kate ordered as she put on her sunglasses.

“Yes, Mrs. Hisson.”

She got out of the car and strutted into the café in her heels. In that instance, she gave off an air of elegance yet aloofness that made her feel so distant. Heading to the innermost table by the window, she saw a good-looking foreigner sitting at the table.

“Hello, Mrs. Hisson. I’m June, also known as John Wick. You can call me by either name.” June stood up and pulled the chair out for Kate in a chivalric manner. After she settled down, he then made a self-introduction.

As Kate removed her sunglasses, her exceptional beauty dazzled June at once. Of course, his reaction had nothing to do with love and romance, but instead, an inborn way of reacting to pleasant sights like how every other human being would.

“Mr. Wick, may I know what it is about that you’d call me out today?” Kate crossed her arms before her chest, emanating an intimidating aura.

June waved to the server, and the latter walked over and asked, “Sir, madam, may I get your coffee order?”

The man nodded and ordered two cups of latte for Kate and himself.

Once the server served them their beverages, June stirred his coffee and asked, “Mrs. Hisson, to be honest, I’ve run a background check on you earlier. Though I can’t boast a hundred percent, I’d still say I have sixty percent understanding toward you. For one, I know you hate Tiffany, right?”

Kate glanced at him warily and questioned, “Why did you run a check on me?”

Pulling out a name card from his bag, June passed it to her and said, “I’m sorry. I forgot to introduce what I do for a living. Here, have a look.”

She took it from him and took a glance. “You’re one of the Adertons?”

“You know the Adertons too, Mrs. Hisson?”

“I was blessed to be able to attend a party held by the Adertons many years ago with a friend when we were overseas, and I know it’s a relatively prominent family. I can’t believe you’re one of the Adertons. What an accomplished young man you are.” The expression on Kate’s face eased up significantly after learning about June’s real identity.

“Well, I’ll have to thank you for that. It’s my honor to receive praises from you.”

Kate picked up the cup and took a sip of her coffee. “Tell me; what motive do you have for asking me out? I don’t think there’s anything to say between a young man like you and an over sixty-old hag like me.”

“That’s very modest of you, Mrs. Hisson. You look elegant and poised, have a fair complexion, and almost no wrinkles. Coupled with that unique charisma you’re exuding, anyone will believe that you’re only thirty.”

Kate twitched her lips. “Mr. Wick, I’m not here for those hypocritical words. So tell me, you hate Tiffany as much as I do?”

“I don’t hate her. But I do have a grudge against Oscar. The wife of that man is Amelia, whose best friend is Tiffany. In fact, I’ve to say she got implicated and dragged into this mess. But what to do? Of all the people out there, she has to be Amelia’s friend. I’ve found that you don’t have a liking toward her because of Mr. Hisson’s matters. So, why don’t we work together?”

“Why should I work with you?”

“Because I’m from the Adertons. I’m qualified to help you deal with the people you disliked. But that depends on whether you want to make use of the capabilities I have.”

“Go on then.”

Upon receiving the green light from Kate, June briefly revealed his plan.

Hearing that, Kate nodded in agreement. “It seems like you’ve been planning for a long time. What unforgivable thing did Oscar do that would make the young master of the Adertons so vengeful?”

“It’s a personal feud. I don’t see a point in explaining to you.”
