Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 764

Chapter 764 Studying Abroad

Amelia stayed with her for nearly an hour before she left. Derrick sent them off. “Amelia, come over if you have time. Tiff hasn’t been feeling great lately. She might need your help.”

Amelia nodded. “You should spend more time with her too, Derrick. Once she’s all healed up, give her a script to write. She won’t have time to dwell on this if she has work to do.”

“I’ve already come up with a rough sketch of a movie. She’s gonna be the scriptwriter. She’ll be so busy that this will be forgotten in no time. She’ll get back on her feet.”

Amelia thought slightly better of him now. At least this was the same Derrick she knew. “As long as you’re with her, she’ll get back up, Derrick.”

Derrick nodded. Amelia and Oscar said goodbye. Once they got into the car, Amelia asked, “If you’re in Derrick’s place, would you love a child who’s born to someone you don’t love?”

“No. You’re the only one who will bear my children. Nobody else can. I won’t even let them touch me,” Oscar announced. “What if I can’t get pregnant, then?”

“We’ll adopt one. Or we can stay childless. Once I’m older, I’ll leave my work in someone else’s hands and take you around the world. When we get too old to even move, we’ll just live out our lives in a peaceful nursing home. When the time comes, we’ll leave this world together. You won’t be lonely.”

Amelia was delighted to hear that. “Wait, we’re talking about them, not us. If she can’t get pregnant, I wonder if Derrick will divorce her.”

“Depends on how much he loves her. If he loves her as much as I love you, he won’t divorce her,” Oscar said adamantly.

Amelia remained silent. She was not Tiffany, and Oscar wasn’t Derrick. The substitution didn’t work that way. I won’t be too sure about that.

Amelia immediately started working on the advertisement design once they got home. They came up with a lot of designs over the course of months, but the people at Atlas Corporation kept rejecting them. They were getting really nitpicky. Even a single minute flaw would be magnified and criticized as if the product they worked on for days were worthless.

One of the people in charge spoke in decent Chanaean. He said, “When Mr. Clinton recommended your company, I thought you’re skilled. This is second-rate. Why did he even tell us about you guys?”

The ladies were angry that they were looked down upon. Lydia answered, “Mr. Rice, we’re really trying to work with you here. Mr. Clinton did recommend us, and that’s because our work is decent, or he wouldn’t have even considered us.”

“But the rumors say he only recommended you guys because Ms. Winters is his wife,” Teddy Rice said.

Amelia stepped up and said calmly, “I may be his wife, but I’ll prove that I have what it takes to stand tall. Besides, our designs aren’t that bad, are they?”

Teddy smiled at her. “Are you saying I’m being nitpicky?”

“No. That’s actually a good trait. Atlas Corporation only got so far thanks to your leadership. I’ve seen your work before. They’re perfect. I can understand why you think our work is subpar. We still have much to improve. But give us one more chance. We’ll present the perfect work. In my and my husband’s name, we’ll back out of this project if you still aren’t satisfied with it,” Amelia said calmly.

Teddy gazed at Amelia for a moment, and he nodded.

Oscar came into the study holding two cups of coffee. He placed them aside and went around the desk to hug her. “What happened?”

Amelia pointed at the design on the table. “Hey, can you tell me what’s wrong with this?”

Oscar peered at it and worked on the design for a while. “It’s decent. Erihalians think differently from us. They’re more of a work-life balance people. They only work during work hours, while we put emphasis on speed. That’s probably why your design didn’t make the cut.”

Amelia looked at the design. She had to say that it was a lot better after that change Oscar made.

She could feel that her design didn’t hit the mark. It was as if something was missing. Oscar pulled the veil off for her, and she knew what she was looking for in her design now.

“No wonder they call you a polymath. I didn’t believe them, but now I do. I’m an amateur compared to you.” Amelia bit his lip, feeling a little jealous and frustrated.

“No. I’m just giving you an outsider’s perspective, and I know Teddy. That’s why I know what you should change. You’re a more talented designer than I am. That’s true.” Oscar patted her head. “You’re really talented. Work on it and you’ll be one of the top designers around. You are my partner, and I have an eye for good partners.”
