Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 857

Chapter 857 Another Hypnosis Session

When they arrived at Tiffany's house, Amelia decided to cut to the chase. “Tiff, I'm planning to go overseas.”

Tiffany shuddered. She was carrying Tony in her arms, so it was fortunate that she recovered very quickly. Otherwise, Tony would have been dropped to the floor.

She put him down carefully on the ground. After calming herself, she said, “Are you going to give up on Oscar?”

“No, because I plan to appear before him once again but with a better identity. Look at me now. Even though he's in trouble, I can't do anything about it. I want to present a new image to attract him. If I have the chance to bring him to the places where we've spent time together, I believe that he will eventually remember me,” Amelia uttered with determination.

It was not a surprise that Tiffany hated Isabella so much. The former knew that if it was not because of Isabella, Amelia's marriage would not crumble. If Oscar had really cheated on Amelia during their marriage, then they would gladly not have anything to do with each other after their divorce. However, the reality was that they were very much in love, only that someone had tricked him into forgetting all about her. If they were separated under such circumstances, they would do so with reluctance. They would still constantly be thinking about each other.

Tiffany lowered her gaze and was in deep thought. Then, she ventured, “Babe, have you ever considered that Oscar and Isabella could be putting on a show?”

Amelia flashed her a half smile. “Tiff, do you think that he needs to go so far just to get a divorce?”

Tiffany was rendered speechless. All right. I admit I just can't stand the current Oscar and want to take a jab at him badly.

Subsequently, she sat on the couch as a frown appeared on her face. After thinking it through, she said, “The screenwriters' group has also offered an opportunity to further studies abroad. Where do you want to go? I'll go with you. After all, Derrick and I have divorced. If I had to stay and watch Crystal giving birth to his child, I'd surely be irritated.”

Warmth filled Amelia's heart. “Are you sure you want to go with me?”

With a shrug, Tiffany said nonchalantly, “There's nothing that I would miss in this place. Moreover, if I were to go overseas with you, I can see the world and meet other people. But I haven't spoken Erihalese in so long that I don't know if the foreigners will understand me or not.”

Her past experience was eerily similar to Amelia's. Thus, when Amelia mentioned that she wanted to further her studies abroad, Tiffany decided to follow her without further thought. After all, Tiffany was already divorced from Derrick, and she did not care about anyone in her family. Therefore, she planned not to come back to the country anymore after she left this time around.

“All right. Let's go overseas together,” Amelia replied with a smile.

Tiffany stood up and got ready to pack her stuff. However, Amelia quickly stopped her. “Tiff, there's no need to rush. I need to contact Mr. Rice first. After all, I don't know if he still wants to accept a dispirited student like me.”

“If he rejects you, let's become self-funded students.”

Amelia shook her head. “No. The reason I want to further my studies abroad is that I want to use him as my stepping stone to boost myself to the top of the design industry. If we become self-funded students, I won't be able to achieve my goal.”

Upon hearing that, Tiffany flicked her on the forehead and smiled before saying, “You've become such a cunning woman. But I like it.”

Amelia merely chuckled in response.

She had been too merciful toward Isabella previously, leading to the latter doing everything she could to snatch Oscar away from her. Now, Amelia decided to improve herself and appear before him again with a different identity. She wanted to claim back what was rightfully hers from Isabella.

Oscar had become an inseparable part of her. She would never allow anything to occur that could prevent him from being in her future.

“Babe, don't think too much about it. Oscar will definitely remember you,” said Tiffany after sitting next to her.

Amelia forced a smile. “Tiff, he didn't lose his memory. Currently, no one knows the method that Isabella used to make him forget the love of his life. To be honest, I'm not worried about anything other than the fact that her method might possibly harm his life.”

Tiffany's expression darkened.

“If that's the case, why are you planning to go abroad?”

“Even if I stay here, I can't do anything for Oscar. Furthermore, my presence might make Isabella even warier. I can't imagine what will happen if she decides to harm him again.”

As her words sank in, Tiffany finally understood her concerns.

“Babe, are you planning to go abroad to have her let her guard down?”

Amelia frowned. “Yes, that's exactly what I plan to do. I'll also instruct Hugo to keep an eye on her discreetly.”

Tiffany nodded.

Afterward, Amelia took out Teddy's business card and dialed the numbers listed on it. No one answered the call at first, but it was answered the second time.

“Hello, is that you, Ms. Winters?” Teddy said excitedly.

“Yes, it's me. Mr. Rice, I've decided to further my studies abroad. Do you still want to take me as your student?” Amelia asked nervously. She had declined Teddy's offer previously without giving it a second thought. This time around, she had called him to tell him that she would go abroad. It was the reason why she was not confident if he still wanted her. After all, he was a famous designer in Erihal. There was no reason for him to keep an interest in a foreigner like her.

Nonetheless, she did not expect him to become so excited.

“Really? That's good news! I've been keeping a position open for you.” Then, he added exuberantly, “When will you be here? I can arrange for someone to pick you up.”

“Probably in another ten days. Do you think it's too rushed, Mr. Rice?”

“Not at all. I'll get someone to arrange it. I can promise you that you'll become an outstanding designer in one or two years' time.” Teddy grinned.

“Thank you for giving me this chance, Mr. Rice,” Amelia said sincerely.

“Don't mention it. I chose you because I don't want you to waste your talent. Moreover, I've set my eyes on the huge market in Zarain. When you can stand on your own, I want to appoint you to be the spokesperson for our branch in Zarain.” It was what Teddy had planned all along.

Amelia was surprised. She did not expect Teddy to think that highly of her. Nevertheless, it was exactly what she wanted. Previously, she only wanted a place to call home. As for now, she wanted to become stronger so she could have the chance to stand next to the man whom she had always thought of as being outstanding. She did not want to be forced to go away after having her husband snatched from her.

“Mr. Rice, thank you for the appreciation. I'll not let you down. However, I want to ask a question. Why me?” Amelia asked calmly.

At first, Teddy replied solemnly, “Because the company has been looking for someone who can become a spokesperson in Astoria and your image fits the bill. In addition, you have great talent in design. I don't want to let your talent go to waste.” The next moment, he changed the topic abruptly. “Ms. Winters, can I ask you a question? What made you change your mind in such a short time? I remember that Oscar is a jealous man and very possessive.”

Amelia fell silent.

“What's the matter? Can't you talk about it?”

“It's not that, but it's my personal matter. I hope that you can understand, Mr. Rice.”

“My apologies. I won't ask again.”

“Mr. Rice, thank you for being understanding. I'll give you a call before going there.”

“All right. Let's talk another time. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

After Amelia ended the call, Tiffany shuffled closer to her and asked, “Did he agree to it?”

“Yes, he did.”

Tiffany was a proactive person. “I'll go pack my stuff then! All that's left is to wait for the time to leave.”

This time, Amelia did not stop her.

Instead, she walked toward Tony and leaned down to meet his eyes. With a gentle voice, she said, “Tony, will you be scared that we'll be going overseas to live?”

“Mommy, I won't be afraid. I want to help you to win Big Meanie back.”

When she heard his words, she felt sad and pleased at the same time.

The reason for her sadness was that Tony had to witness everything that had happened at such a young age. On the contrary, she was pleased that he never once complained. Moreover, he had never mentioned that he was frightened.
