Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 799

Chapter 799

After they had run off far into the distance, Eva hugged Amelia and cried her heart out.

Hugging her in distress, Amelia gently patted her on the back and coaxed tenderly, "It's okay. There, there."

Eva continued crying ceaselessly. Only after weeping for an indeterminate time did she slowly stop.

"Am I really that inferior, Amelia?" Eva inquired unconfidently.

In response, Amelia enunciated, "No, you're exceedingly outstanding. But James isn't quite suitable for you. A man who appreciates you will appear in the future. A woman will only be happy when she meets a man who knows how to appreciate her. She'll also grow increasingly beautiful. Therefore, give up on him, okay?

Regretfully, Eva shook her head morosely. Then, she replied sorrowfully, "I really love him a lot, Amelia. I won't give up on him. I believe that he'll definitely fall in love with me one day as long as I'm persistent enough."

Amelia wanted to speak yet was hesitant to do so. She wore a slightly conflicted expression.

Pulling herself away from Amelia's embrace, Eva wiped her tears and reverted to her usual self as though nothing had ever happened. "Let's go, Amelia! I'm fine now."

Amelia patted her cousin's face, urging, "Talk to me if there's anything you'd like to get off your chest. We're family, so you don't need to pretend to be strong in front of me."

Shaking her head, Eva maintained, 'Tm really fine. It's no big deal, just a temporary rejection by a man."

Amelia's lips twitched, but she changed the subject in the end. "Come, let's go home."

The next day, Eva prepared a ton of food and went to the hospital as usual. Her eagerness had gotten on James' nerves so much that he even made up an excuse and left the hospital.

For the first time in forever, he went to Amelia's workplace.

When Amelia received a call from James that he was in the lobby of her office, she applied for a brief leave and went downstairs.

"Why did you come to my office, James?" Amelia queried.

With a shrug, James implored helplessly, "I beg you, Amelia. Can you please talk to Eva?”

Amelia likewise felt helpless.

'James, I've talked to her as much as I could, but she simply wouldn't listen. Her love for you is really deep- rooted, so I really can't do anything unless she truly gives up on you." Eva was the kind of person who never gave up until the very end, so Amelia couldn't do anything about it either. Instead, she ventured, "Can you really not try accepting her, James?"

James declined right away. "No. If there really were a possibility of me falling in love with her, it would've happened long ago. When it's a woman I like, I'll take the initiative to pursue her and definitely wouldn't make her sad."

At that, Amelia gave a bitter chuckle.

Just then, her phone rang. Picking it up for a look, she saw that it was a call from Eva.

She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, she answered the call.

"Amelia, is James with you?" Eva went straight to the point.

"Yeah, he's here. Eva, listen here. I think you should stop seeing James for some time. You're putting too much pressure on him right now, and you'll only scare him off," Amelia suggested.

The person on the other end of the phone went silent.

"Are you listening, Eva?" Amelia called out hesitantly.

A sigh was the only response she received from the other end of the phone.

"I'll head over to your office right now, Amelia." "Eva, don't-" Before Amelia could finish speaking, the person on the other end had already hung up.

Clutching her phone with the darkened screen in hand, she uttered, "Eva is coming over, James."

As though a formidable enemy was on his heels, James declared, "In that case, I'll leave at once!"

Amelia grabbed his hand, urging, "Wait for a while, James. I think you need to talk to her properly."

James was wholly exasperated.

"Amelia, it does me no good to talk to her properly. Am I to beat her up instead? She's adept at combat arts, so I might not necessarily be her match were I to do so. She's pretending to be gentle now, but deep down in her bones, she's actually pretty savage. I'm afraid that she'd pummel me at the slightest difference in opinion if I were to date her. I've got to consider my safety," James said half-jokingly.

That had Amelia torn between laughing and crying. But inwardly, she found it rather unfair toward Eva.

It's true that she has the appearance of a warrioress. Coupled with her profession as a coach, she looks exceedingly hardy. But in reality, she's kind and never hits someone without reason. Why does everyone think that a girl who knows combat arts is violent? On the contrary, I think those who know combat arts are better at restraining themself, never simply taking advantage of their capabilities to hit others.

"James, such a remark is considered an insult to her. I think she treats you unbelievably well. As long as she has the day off, she goes to the hospital to visit you. She even cooks for you, learning all your favorite foods. How did you come to the conclusion that she would hit you?" Amelia countered calmly.

Realizing his gaffe, James apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry. That wasn't what I meant."

Amelia waved a dismissive hand. "Eva will be here in a moment. Just wait for her here."

James opened his mouth, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse her in the end.

Eva came in no time, arriving in less than ten minutes. Such astounding speed had James suspecting that she tailed him there.
