Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 828

Chapter 828 Deliberate Enthusiasm

The next day, the lawyer, Alex, brought along with him Derrick’s property transfer letter and laid them all out before Tiffany. “Ms. Winters, these are the transfer letters for Mr. Hisson’s assets and management rights of his two companies. They’ll belong to you as soon as you put your signature down.”

Tiffany studied the documents laid out on the desk with a complicated look in her eyes, having mixed feelings about it.

“Mr. Feltham, while I appreciate all that you have done for me, I will not sign these documents. Please send them back to Derrick and inform him that I do not need compensation from him. My earnings throughout the years will ensure me a life of prosperity, so his assets are of no use to me,” Tiffany replied.

Alex glanced at Oscar. “Mr. Feltham, you will do as she says,” Oscar demanded.

“Understood, Mr. Clinton. I will bring these documents back to be handed to Mr. Hisson at his office.” Alex packed everything up into his suitcase before standing up. “Mr. Clinton, Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Winters, I shall be taking my leave if there’s nothing else.”

Amelia said, “Mr. Feltham, you should stay and dine with us. You must be exhausted, having worked hard for Tiff these days.”

Alex smiled before replying, “You’re too kind, Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Clinton pays me a hefty salary each month, so it is my job to help him out. Besides, I need to work on other cases, so I won’t be staying.”

Thus, Amelia and Tiffany could only see him off at the entrance.

“Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Winters, please go back inside.” Alex bid them goodbye and entered the elevator.

Both Amelia and Tiffany reentered the house.

After glancing at Oscar, who was sitting on the sofa, Tiffany said, “Oscar, thank you for extending a helping hand to me. I know you only did all of this because of Amelia, but I figured I do owe you my gratitude. Let’s have dinner together at night if you have time. It’ll be on me. Consider this as a celebration of me regaining my singlehood. Also, do introduce some quality and dedicated men to me if you know any.”

Oscar looked at her before jabbing, “Don’t smile if you don’t feel like it. That look on your face is hideous. I don’t mind going on a meal if it helps get rid of your boredom. A lot of young and outstanding guys work under Clinton Corporations, so I do know quite a few. If you are up to it, I can form a harem for you, and you can have your pick of men.”

In a rare display of affection, Tiffany punched him on his chest and smiled. “Great job, Mr. Clinton.”

Having witnessed their interactions, Amelia finally put on a heartfelt smile.

At night, Amelia, her family, and Tiffany went to a farmstay near rural areas. To their surprise, they ran into Jennifer again, with Carter standing by her side.

Jennifer held Carter’s arm while greeting them enthusiastically. “Amelia, Mr. Clinton, fancy seeing you here! I suppose it’s the workings of fate that had us meet here. Come dine with us if you would like to.”

Jennifer’s uncharacteristic enthusiasm garnered Carter’s attention, who gave her a side glance that was filled with much confusion.

However, she pretended to not notice his inquisitive gaze, opting to retain the dainty smile she wore on her lips. Compared to before, it was apparent that her demeanor was much more enthusiastic.

All the while, Amelia watched her in puzzlement. Just when she was about to speak, Carter took over the conversation. “Amelia, it’s been a while since everybody last had a meal together. Let’s dine together now that we’ve bumped into each other here.”

Seeing that Carter had extended an invitation, Amelia could only oblige.

After all six of them, five adults and one child, got seated, Jennifer observed Tony up close and smiled. “Tony sure has such delicate looks, a combination of the best traits of both Amelia and Mr. Clinton. I bet nobody dares discipline such a cute kid.”

Upon saying so, she noticed that all eyes were on her.

Smiling, she added, “Why are you all looking at me? Do you all disagree with me?”

Amelia shook her head and raised her hand to caress Tony’s head. “Tony, what should you say when Ms. Larson praises you?”

In a crisp tone, Tony answered, “Thank you, Ms. Larson. However, I don’t really like how you’re staring at me as if I’m a tasty lollipop up for grabs. I once watched a drama series, in which the bad guys who tried to get closer to children have that very same look in their eyes.”

The smile on Jennifer’s face froze for a moment.

In the meantime, Amelia paid more attention to Jennifer due to Tony’s words. After all, she was already slightly alarmed by Jennifer’s sudden enthusiasm.
