Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 687

Chapter 687 The Flame Of Marital Love

James’s lips twitched. “Eva, I initially thought your personality would alter following the change in your look. I’m surprised that you’re still who you are.”

Eva’s heart skipped a beat. She revealed her inner personality and forgot the etiquette that the coach taught her upon seeing James. Nonetheless, she remembered that James preferred girls who were gentle. As such, her boisterous personality was not to his liking.

Despite that, Eva was willing to change herself if James wanted it.

After a while, Eva sat up straight and said gently, “James, I’ve changed. Now, I stand and sit gracefully. Also, I refrain from talking when eating and smile with my mouth closed. I’m learning to be a perfect woman and close to becoming one.”

“Stop!” James interrupted, “Eva, you’re already perfect. Believe me. You don’t have to change anything for me. You’re already a perfect goddess, and countless men will fall for you.”

“What about you?” A glint of hope flashed across Eva’s eyes when she asked.

Instantly, James was rendered speechless.

Overwhelmed with disappointment, Eva changed the subject of the conversation. “Just go on and have breakfast.”

After James finished, Eva cleaned the table and kept the plates. Now, Eva seemed reenergized. “James, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I’ll prepare the food for you. I feel blessed whenever I see you eating my food.”

James wiped his mouth clean and responded, “It’s okay. Since I don’t have a fixed work schedule, I might not have time to eat. In the end, the food might get wasted.”

“It’s okay. I can wait for you. I remember that there’s a pantry in your hospital. If the food is cold, I can heat it up for you. I guarantee you can have hot food whenever you want,” Eva said gently. As Eva was speaking, she didn’t touch James like how she used to treat him before.

Looking at the beautiful Eva, James couldn’t bring himself to decline her invitation.

“Since you didn’t refuse, I take it as a yes. Well, you should get back to work. I’ll come again tomorrow.” Then, Eva tiptoed to kiss James’ cheek before she left excitedly.

James was at a loss when he looked at the door and touched his cheek.

Eva left the hospital with the thermal lunch box in her hands. Suddenly, her superior called and instructed her to return. While sitting in the taxi, she wanted to tell him that she probably wouldn’t be available tomorrow. However, James didn’t pick up the phone.

Eva initially wanted to call James back later. However, her superior called her many times and even confiscated her phone once she arrived.

A few days had passed when Eva could finally go home.

Standing in front of Amelia, Eva said tiredly, “Amelia.”

Amelia was at home because she didn’t have to work on weekends. Since Eva looked exhausted, Amelia dragged her into the house and asked, “What happened to you? I called you many times in the past few days, yet you didn’t answer my call. I was worried about you.”

“Argh! My boss instructed me to return right after I delivered breakfast to James. He then asked me to train new bodyguards in the forest and confiscated my phone. Hence, I conducted arduous training for the men and screamed a lot while coaching them. Alas, my training for becoming a graceful goddess has gone down to drain,” Eva explained with a weak voice.

Since Eva was a coach, Amelia thought she could hardly force herself to become a gentle and graceful woman. I’m afraid Eva can become gentle only after she reincarnates.

Amelia touched Eva’s forehead gently before going into the kitchen to get her some food.

While Eva devoured the food, Amelia only frowned but didn’t say a word.

Moments later, Eva wiped her mouth clean and said embarrassedly, “Amelia, don’t worry. I’ll present my best self in front of James.”

Amelia shook her head and advised Eva, “You should stay true to yourself before your loved one. After all, you can’t live in disguise for the rest of your life. If a man doesn’t love who you are, how long can your relationship with him last? Your look can change, but your personality remains. Hence, you don’t have to hide your true self. Do you get me?”

Upon hearing it, Eva smiled wryly.

Fiddling with her neatly trimmed fingernails, Eva said curtly, “Amelia, James will never like who I am now. He prefers gentle and graceful women. However, I don’t have any of those qualities that he likes. The only way I might attract him is by faking my gentleness. What difference does it make even after I’ve become beautiful? I’m still an inferior object.”

Amelia furrowed her brows.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Amelia stood up to open the door.

“Babe.” Tiffany gave Amelia a passionate hug before going into her house.

When Tiffany saw the woman on the couch, she hesitated for a while and asked, “Eva?”

Eva stood up and said smilingly, “Tiffany, congratulations on your wedding! I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it. Besides, my wedding gift probably wasn’t worth much to you. I hope you don’t mind.”

Tiffany gently punched Eva’s chest and replied with a grin, “Well, look at you! You’re awkward blonde hair is gone! With your long, straight hair, you look like a goddess now!”

Eva shrugged and said, “Tiffany, stop flattering me. I look a little more beautiful only because of the make-up.”

Amelia smiled and interrupted, “Why don’t you guys take your seats! Besides, we’re not strangers and don’t have to flatter each other.”
