Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 815

Chapter 815

Derrick didn't want to head downstairs at all, but Kate clearly wasn't going to let him go that easily. As expected, she went upstairs and knocked on his door.

He was already feeling pretty exasperated, so when he was disturbed by his mother, it intensified his frustration.

Upon opening the door, he suppressed his rage and asked, "I've already made plenty of compromises today. What more do you want from me?"

She stared at him, hurt and aggrieved. "Do you think I'm a mother who's only good at upsetting her son, Derrick?"

His eyebrows furrowed at her question.

If Kate had questioned him in a more timid manner, he would have been able to rebut her confidently. However, that clearly wasn't the case, so he couldn't bear to speak harshly.

Rubbing his forehead, Derrick said, "Do you have something you want from me, Mom? If you don't, I'd like to sleep now."

She was holding two cups of milk. "I poured two cups of milk for you and Tiff. You two can sleep after drinking it. I still haven't seen her even though I've already returned for a while. Is she angry with me?

"No, she's just asleep because she's tired.'

Kate furrowed her eyebrows. "Drink the milk first, Derrick. I'm just trying to be nice.”

In order to prevent his mother from bothering him further, he had no choice but to drink it.

As she watched her son empty the cup completely, excitement flashed past her eyes.

Kate smiled. "All right, I won't bother you and Tiff any longer, Derrick. I'll head downstairs and talk to Crystal. She's leaving soon, and there's no telling if I can meet her again."

Derrick nodded coldly.

When she went downstairs, Crystal stood up in a hurry and asked, "Did he drink it, Mrs. Hisson?"

A smile was still present on Kate's face. "There's no way he won't if I ask him to. I've already asked the housekeepers. They said Tiffany never came back after she left at noon. So, he's going to be the only person in the house. After a while, go ahead and seize your opportunity. I'll ensure everyone sees you on his bed the next day."

Crystal nodded excitedly. No one's going to be here. It's like the heavens are helping me out. When everyone sees me waking up in Derrick's bed tomorrow, that'll solidify my relationship with him. With Mrs. Hisson's help, I doubt he'll refuse to take responsibility.

No one knew Kate was such a lunatic that she would be willing to set up her son.

Even if Terrence got angry after learning the news, there would be nothing he could do about it.

Kate was confident that if Tiffany saw what Derrick did, she would be so crestfallen that she would leave her son.

After waiting for a while, she said, "I'll take a look at Derrick's condition first before you head upstairs."

Crystal nodded in response and paced back and forth while the older woman checked up on Derrick.

Soon, Kate returned with a smile and nodded at the younger woman. "You can head upstairs now."

Crystal went upstairs and carefully opened the bedroom door. The moment she stepped into the room, she was pushed to the wall by a dark figure.

There was a dazed look in Derrick's eyes as he stared at Crystal and gently rubbed her cheek. He spoke in a soft voice. "I love you so much, Tiff. No matter who shows up around me, the only woman I'll ever love is you."

She gawked at him, standing so close to her, and automatically filtered out everything he was saying.

A look of obsession flashed past her eyes after she gulped. She couldn't help but say, "I've been waiting for you for so long, Derrick. Today, you're finally mine. Don't worry, once you marry me, I'll be a good wife. I promise I'll do even better than Tiffany."

After finishing her sentence, she stood on her toes and kissed him.

Derrick grabbed the back of her head and intensified the kiss as both of them headed toward the bed like conjoined babies.

Amelia and Tiffany sat next to each other on the balcony as they stared at the neon lights outside. The former suggested, "It's getting late, Tiff. I'll ask Oscar to send you back. I think it's probably just a misunderstanding. You should talk about your suspicions with Derrick personally. Blind speculations will only hurt your relationship with him."

With her eyes closed, Tiffany spread her hands and enjoyed the coolness of the breeze. "Okay. Let's go home."

After thinking about the incident for the whole day, she wasn't as upset as she was hours ago. However, if Derrick had told her the truth, she wouldn't have overthought it so much. Babe's right. Rather than coming up with wild speculations, I should just confront him and ask him about it.

Oscar was working on his laptop when he saw the women descending the stairs. He put his laptop down and approached Amelia before glancing at Tiffany. "Derrick called earlier. I told him you're planning to spend the night here."

Tiffany's eyes glimmered at his words.

Amelia requested, "You should send Tiff back, Oscar. I'll worry if she goes back alone." "She thought things through?" he asked.

Oscar nodded. "Okay/

"She did."

Amelia sent both of them out before Oscar held the back of her head and kissed her for a long while. Envy bubbled in Tiffany's heart as she watched from the side.

She wanted to be that intimate with Derrick too, but the Hisson family was always full of drama. There was almost no place for her there, not with Kate deliberately targeting her all the time. In fact, she had no idea if her marriage with Derrick would last.

Out of nowhere, a bad feeling crashed into her heart, as though something terrible was happening. She could not help but feel like she was at a loss.

After Amelia wrapped up the kiss, she said, "You should send Tiff back now, Oscar."

He nodded.

During the ride, Tiffany stared out the window. "I used to think you don't like me, Oscar. I didn't expect the only people who're willing to help me when I'm in trouble are you and Amelia." "Don't thank me. I'm doing all this for Amelia," he answered.

He really doesn't care if his good deeds are acknowledged, huh? A smile appeared on her face.

Both of them remained silent for the rest of the journey back to the Hisson residence.

Tiffany unbuckled her seatbelt. "Thanks for the ride. I can head in myself. Tell Amelia that I'm fine and that she doesn't need to worry about me."
