Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 813

Chapter 813

Back in the Hisson residence, Terrence gave Kate another warning. Although she was reluctant to heed his words, she had no other choice and could only fume inwardly. If Terrence wasn't around, she could bully Tiffany with no qualms. But now that Terrence was on Tiffany's side, she had to be extra careful.

If she were to carry out her plan, Terrence would definitely fly into a rage. Thus, she had to reconsider her next course of action.

Kate was deep in thought when Tiffany came downstairs with her hair loose. At once, she went cold with fury. Our family is unfortunate to get such a disheveled daughter-in-law!

Tiffany had just completed the first chapter of her manuscript. Feeling starved and parched, she wanted to grab a bite downstairs but bumped into Kate.

"Mom, you're at home too?" Tiffany greeted carefully and straightened her back.

Kate shot an exasperated look at her pajamas. Tiffany noticed where she was looking and scratched her head. "Mom, I'll go get changed now."

She then spun around and sprinted back to her room.

Ugh, I was too engrossed in my manuscript and forgot that I'm living in the Hisson residence instead of my own house that I bought with my earnings.

After getting changed, Tiffany took great care to freshen up before coming downstairs.

Kate observed her with a disdainful look.

"Tiffany, let's go out and chat for a bit. It's been ages since we last talked," she said impatiently.

"Yes," Tiffany agreed grudgingly.

She grimaced at the sight of Kate stepping out of the house.

Sometimes, she wished her relationship with Kate was much better. After all, she loved Derrick dearly and didn't want to put him in a difficult position.

Licking her parched lips, Tiffany went to the kitchen and drank a cup of water before heading out.

"Mom, is there anything you need from me?" Tiffany asked after taking a seat across from Kate.

Kate glanced at her. "It's nothing. I want to remind you about manners and etiquette. Our family isn't just any ordinary family. I've told you plenty of times to behave in front of others plenty of times, but you did not heed my words. If I were not at home today, what would others think when they saw you in your pajamas?

Tiffany lowered her gaze and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Mom, I forgot about that as I was busy writing my manuscript. It's hard to pay attention to etiquettes when I'm busy," she explained.

"Why? Are you talking back at me now that your granddad is backing you up?" Kate demanded.

Tiffany sighed inwardly.

She had had enough of hearing Kate's harsh words almost every other day.

Meanwhile, Kate fiddled her fingers and returned to her usual elegant self.

She poured a cup of coffee for Tiffany and flashed a warm smile. "Tiff, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you on purpose. You're now married to Derrick, and everyone's watching you closely. The slightest mistake would lead to embarrassing situations."

Tiffany had goosebumps after hearing what Kate had to say.

She shot Kate a doubtful look. Did someone cast a spell on her? Or is she scheming something?

Kate's grin broadened. "Why? Why are you looking at me like this?" she asked cheerfully.
