Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 811

Chapter 811

After lunch, Amelia and Carter returned to their offices and buried their heads in work until the evening.

Amelia was packing her things, about to take the elevator, when her phone rang.

She picked up her phone and saw an unknown number flashing across the screen.

With hesitation, she took the call.

Is this Amelia? I'm Derrick's mother." A pleasant woman's voice came from the other end.

Surprise flashed across Amelia's eyes. I didn't expect Mrs. Hisson to call me.

"Hi, Mrs. Hisson. May I know the reason for your call?" Amelia asked courteously.

"It's nothing much. I just want to invite you and Oscar for dinner. Tiffany and Derrick are coming too," Kate explained.

Amelia was confused. With Mrs. Hisson's disposition, she wouldn't invite Oscar and me for dinner without a good reason. Something is up. At that thought, Amelia's guard went up.

"Mrs. Hisson, may I know the reason for your sudden invitation to dinner?" she probed.

"I realized my attitude toward you and Oscar in the past was terrible. As an apology, I want to invite both of you over for dinner. Will you be willing to accept this offer of olive branch? I hope you won't reject me," Kate asked gently.

'All right," Amelia had no choice but to agree when Kate put it that way.

'The dinner will be held at Room 209 of Hotel Van Hutton at seven in the evening tomorrow. Please come on time," Kate insisted.

Got it. Oscar and I will be there at seven sharp."

“I'll see you tomorrow then.’

After hanging up the phone, Amelia put her phone back into her purse in puzzlement and took the elevator with Jolin.

Oscar helped Amelia with her seat belt after she got into the passenger seat and caught her confused look. "What's wrong? Did someone give you a difficult time?"

Amelia chuckled. "No, I got a call from Mrs. Hisson earlier. She invited us for dinner. We have zero association with her, so I'm worried she's using us to cause trouble for Tiff."

Oscar laughed and brushed the tip of her nose lovingly. "Tiff is not a three-year-old, silly. She's not going to fall into the woman's trap so easily. Don't overthink it. If you want to know what Mrs. Hisson is up to, we'll go to the dinner tomorrow."

Amelia nodded.

The next day after work, Oscar picked up Amelia from her office and drove to Hotel Van Hutton. The minute they stepped into the lobby, a hostess with sensual body curves immediately led them to the private dining room.

When Amelia and Oscar entered the room, they noticed that Finnick, Kate, Tiffany, and Derrick were already seated, and on Kate's left was an unwelcome guest-Crystal.

Kate rose to her feet to greet the two, "Amelia, Oscar, you're finally here. Dad will be here in another ten minutes. Please have a seat."

Amelia put on a calm facade and nodded.

She and Oscar took their seats beside Tiffany and discreetly observed Kate. However, Amelia didn't notice anything unusual about Kate's demeanor. Kate looks the same as always. She is friendlier toward us, though, completely different from her previous aggressiveness.

With confusion in mind, Amelia turned to glance at Tiffany. The latter had her head turned toward Amelia too. As though Tiffany could read the question on Amelia's mind, she shook her head at the latter, implying that she had no idea what Kate was playing at.

At that moment, Kate elegantly poured a cup of coffee for both Amelia and Oscar. While she did that, Amelia continued to study her. Fearing that Kate had spiked the drink, Amelia had no intention of taking a sip.

"Amelia, Oscar, today's dinner was actually Dad's idea. He wanted to get acquainted with Oscar." Kate chuckled.

Amelia nodded upon hearing that.

Coincidentally, a knock came from the door. "I'll get it," Crystal offered politely.

Having said that, she got up from her seat and crossed the room to open the door. The person standing outside the door was none other than Terrence who was in a good mood.

"Mr. Terrence, you're here. Everyone is waiting for you," Crystal said obediently.

Terrence nodded his head impassively.

Crystal's presence at the dinner was quite awkward.

There was no doubt that Kate had invited her to cause trouble for Tiffany.

Meanwhile, Kate hastily rushed to Terrence's side to help him to his seat. "Dad, I invited Oscar to dinner as well. You can have a chat with him."

Terrence merely shot her a dispassionate glance before taking his seat.

He then glanced at Oscar with kind eyes. "Oscar, I'm the one who asked Kate to invite you and your wife to dinner tonight. My reason for doing so is to apologize to you for her terrible attitude in the past, and I wish to collaborate with Clinton Corporations on a project."
