Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 701

Chapter 701 Refusing His Help

Nevertheless, Carter was not offended by her lack of response. Instead, he took the breakfast he put on the table and handed it to Jennifer. ”I bought this for you. Have some food.”

Glancing at the breakfast, Jennifer said, “Mr. Scott, you probably didn’t know about this. I don’t eat street food. It will give me a stomachache. Just because a commoner like Amelia enjoys these foods doesn’t mean I’ll like them. Thanks, anyway.”

Carter took back the breakfast and asked patiently, “What do you want to eat then? I’ll buy it for you.”

Looking at Carter with a complicated gaze, Jennifer uttered tiredly, “Mr. Scott, what do you want? Just spit it out.”

Carter pushed the breakfast in front of her again and urged, “First, you should eat breakfast to replenish your energy. You don’t look too well today. You didn’t sleep well yesterday, did you?”

Accepting the breakfast, Jennifer put it aside and uttered imperiously, “You can go now. I’m busy right now. Thank you.”

“I just want to help you, Jennifer. Stop pushing me away. We aren’t enemies,” Carter said patiently.

Jennifer sneered at him. “We’re no better than strangers right now.”

Carter was a little exasperated by her indifference.

Jennifer is so stubborn right now. No matter how hard I tried to win her favor or how cold I acted, she was still indifferent to my actions. What a complete change to our relationship. I wanted her to steer clear of me in the past. Now, she couldn’t bear to see my face. This is karma, isn’t it?

After calming himself down for a while, Carter spoke up. “Jennifer, I know your company’s current situation. I’ve also acquired the shares sold by the directors and transferred them to your name.”

His remark caused Jennifer to pause while scrolling the mouse. Feeling irritated, she could no longer focus on reading the webpage.

Looking at Carter, she said coldly, “Mr. Scott, I’m grateful for your help. However, I don’t need your pity. I’ll repay you for these shares. We don’t have anything to do with each other. Therefore, I don’t want to owe you a favor.”

“That won’t be necessary. I’m merely offering my help to a friend in need,” Carter persuaded.

Jennifer snickered and shook her head. “Mr. Scott, I know Larson Group is having a slump at the moment. However, we aren’t so desperate to beg for other people’s help. As I’ve said before, I don’t need your pity. Tell me, how much are those shares? I’ll pay you back.”

Upon hearing that, Carter felt rather annoyed. “Jennifer, why do you have to be so harsh?”

“Then what else am I supposed to say? Should I shamelessly curry favor with you as I did before? Stop joking around. You don’t want that, do you? Besides, I’m not that shameless anymore.” Jennifer looked back at the computer and continued, “My assistant will talk to you regarding the price of your acquisition. Now, please leave if you have nothing else to say. I have work to do.”

Left with no choice, Carter walked out of the office.

The moment Carter drove back to his company, his secretary whispered to him that Faye was inside the office.

He composed himself before entering the office.

“Mom, what brings you here?” Carter asked.

Faye turned around to his voice. Her makeup that day was exquisite.

Pointing at the sparkly grapes on the table, she said, “Our housekeeper’s relatives grew these grapes at their home. They sent them over for us to try. It’s very juicy and sweet. That’s why I brought them here for you.”

“Mom, you can just ask the housekeeper to do this. You don’t have to make this trip,” replied Carter.

Looking at him affectionately, Faye said with a smile, “I heard that you’re busy these days. Didn’t you ask someone to acquire the shares sold by the top management of Larson Group? You must be exhausted. I can help you discuss this matter with your dad.”

Carter eyed Faye warily, trying to gauge her intentions of coming to his office.

Nevertheless, Faye pretended not to have seen his gaze. “I’m glad that you’re trying to help Jennifer sincerely. I’ve tried so hard to matchmake the two of you in the past to no avail. I’m surprised that you took the initiative to help her this time. Still, I’m glad you did so. Our families have been on good terms with each other for many years. You have my support.”

Carter discreetly studied Faye to see if she was telling the truth or not.
