Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 781

Chapter 781

"Noah, I miss you. Can you come over? I haven't seen you for so many days," Emma said sweetly into the phone.

Noah had tons of things to deal with. On top of that, Stephanie was pregnant and needed his comfort. Hence, he did not treat Emma as warmly as before. Although he kept telling Emma how much he loved her, he, in truth, loved himself more. He only feared treating her indifferently would only make her cause trouble.

After all, a desperate person would harm others without thinking of the consequences. To make sure Emma did not do that, Noah could only pretend as if nothing was wrong. Even so, he did not like her as much as he did back then.

"Have you taken a liking to a bag? Go and get it, then. Charge it on my card."

"Noah, am I just a gold digger to you? I'm sure you know how much of your money I've spent over the past few years. I just miss you. I want you to come over and keep me company. Is that so hard? Do you not love me anymore?" Emma said pitifully.

Noah pinched the space between his brows and said, "I'll head over now."

Soon, Noah arrived at his secret hideout with Emma. He had just parked his car when Emma pounced on him and hugged him from the back. "Noah, I've missed you so much."

Noah glanced around the area in terror. He sighed with relief when he saw there was no one suspicious around.

Feigning confusion, Emma asked, "What's wrong, Noah?"

Noah shook his head and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Nothing. Let's go upstairs."

When they had gone upstairs, Stephanie, who was in the car, was already burning with rage.

Isabella smirked and commented coldly, "I never knew Noah and Emma were in this kind of relationship. What are you going to do, Stephanie?"

Stephanie unfastened her seatbelt and huffed, "What else can I do? Of course, I have to go in there and catch them in their act. I swear I'm going to beat that adulterous woman to death today!"

Isabella grabbed Stephanie's arm. "Calm down, Stephanie. You're still pregnant, remember? It won't do you and the baby any good if you get too emotional. Besides, if something happens to the baby, it'll be an advantage for Noah and Emma."

Stephanie gave her a look and asked crossly, "Then what do you propose?"

"Let's go upstairs and have a look. Let's hear what Noah has to say. It's no wonder people always say that only half of what a man says can be trusted, while the other

half is just sweet talk. I never believed in that until now. Here I was thinking my brother loved you deeply when he acted carefully around you," Isabella said, adding fuel to the fire.

She was intentionally agitating Stephanie. The angrier Stephanie got, the more troubled Noah would be. When the time was right, Isabella could instigate Stephanie to go back to her family. Then she would get the chance to meet Oscar. All she had to do was to find the right time and drug his food at least three to five times. Once that was done, Oscar would belong to her.

Isabella had planned out everything carefully. She did not even have an ounce of guilt for using Stephanie to achieve her goals.

As soon as Isabella and Stephanie got out of the car, the latter supported her belly and marched to the elevator door. "Which floor?"

"The tenth floor, I think. That's what I heard her say back then. At first, I thought she was living there alone. Who would've known Noah was also... They've been hiding it from me for quite a long time. Who knows how long they've been together ever since they became friends?"

As expected, those words angered Stephanie further.

Both of them entered the elevator and headed upstairs in silence. The moment they stepped out of the elevator, Stephanie knocked on every door. However, no one opened it until she arrived at the fifth door.

Fuming, Stephanie stared at Noah, who opened the door. He was shocked to see Stephanie before him. When he thought about how Emma was in there, his temples throbbed.

"Steph, what are you doing here?" Noah tried his best to stop Stephanie from entering.

Alas, someone was determined to go against his wish.

"Noah, why aren't you letting Stephanie in? Are you keeping a woman in there?" Isabella said gloatingly.

Noah instantly shot her a glare. Before he could say anything, Emma's voice rang out. "Noah, who is it?"

Stephanie glared at Noah. She looked so furious that she looked as if she was going to eat him up.

Sensing she was angry, Noah pulled her into his embrace and said calmly, "Steph, listen to me. Things aren't what it looks like. I just bumped into Emma along the way. Coincidentally, my shirt was stained with coffee, so she kindly invited me over to get changed.

Please don't misunderstand."

Stephanie shoved him aside, strode toward Emma, and swung her arm hard, giving the latter a tight slap with no mercy.

Emma clutched her throbbing face and glanced at Noah pitifully. "Noah."
