Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 873

Chapter 873 The Video Is Exposed

After sending Amelia and Tiffany back home, Kurt told the two women he had to head out because of an errand, then reminded them to lock the door before they went to bed. Amelia stopped him. “Kurt, tell me honestly. Where are you going?”

“Back then, I went abroad without Boss’ permission. This is considered my second betrayal, so I want to go back and accept my punishment. This is something I have to do. After all, Boss has groomed me, and I have sworn to be loyal to him until the end. Now that I have gone back on my word, I’m not fit to serve him anymore. I deserve the punishment.” Kurt looked at her with a slight quirk in his mouth. “Amelia, I have spent a total of three years with you in Beshya and overseas. Although things between us didn’t progress to the next level, I’m content nonetheless. Therefore, I don’t regret betraying Boss. The only issue is that I can no longer protect you and Tony in the future. You have to be careful.”

Amelia felt a pang of heartache. She became much more reluctant to let Kurt leave and take the risk.

“Kurt, I don’t want you to go. If I still mean something to you, then don’t go. If not, I will tell Oscar that I was the one who instigated you. Anyway, he doesn’t recognize me. I doubt he will go easy on me. If you want something untoward to happen to me, then go ahead,” said Amelia stubbornly.

Kurt smiled in resignation.

“What nonsense is this? Kurt, stop saying such things that will worry Amelia. After all, Oscar didn’t say that he plans to do anything to you. Aren’t you being foolish if you walk into the lion’s den by yourself?” Tiffany voiced as she waved her hands and eyed Kurt as if he was an idiot.

All the man did was smile. He did not reveal the crucial details.

If Kurt did not accept the punishment, then he would never be able to leave the organization. Oscar would always be his boss. In that case, he could only watch over Amelia on the quiet and could never be seen publicly next to her.

He had his own selfish motives. That was why he wanted to be unshackled from the grip of Oscar.

If they had stayed overseas all the way, he could rid himself of the shackles. However, he had no choice right then. As long as he did not die, he would be able to stay by Amelia’s side openly as a man and not as an insignificant bodyguard.

It was something that had always bothered him.

“I’m just joking with you two. I’m meeting Hugo for a drink. We haven’t seen each other for a year,” said Kurt jokingly.

However, it was obvious that Amelia did not buy his story.

“Amelia, if you feel nothing for me, then please don’t keep showing your concern for me. This will make it harder for me to let you go. Don’t worry about anything. I won’t be so easily defeated. I’ve promised you that I will protect Tony until he becomes an adult, and I will keep my word.” With that, Kurt turned around and left.

For some strange reason, Amelia felt like crying all of a sudden.

“Babe, don’t worry. He’s a grown man. He knows what he is doing,” consoled Tiffany.

Amelia let out a sigh.

“Tiff, I’m very selfish,” she said sadly.

Tiffany held her arm and brought her into the bedroom. Tony was already asleep. As for the woman lying face down on the edge of the bed, she got up quickly when she heard sounds. Upon seeing Amelia and Tiffany, she relaxed.

“Mrs. Clinton, it’s both of you,” the woman said.

“Jolin, it’s been hard on you. You come over the moment we return. If it weren’t for you looking after Tony, we wouldn’t know what to do,” said Amelia with a smile. It turned out that the woman was Jolin. Two months ago, both she and Hugo were transferred back by Oscar. However, Oscar did not assign any duties to them, causing them to be idle. Therefore, when they found out that Amelia was back, they came over eagerly.

“It’s nothing. It’s my honor to be able to look after you and Mr. Anthony,” Jolin replied with a smile.

She genuinely liked Amelia, finding her simple, gracious, polite, kind, strong, and considerate, unlike the scheming Isabella. When Oscar stopped Hugo and her work because of Isabella, Jolin did not mind. After all, she had no intention of serving Isabella.

It was better to be idling than to face the annoying Isabella, who despised her as well.

Amelia invited Jolin out of the bedroom for a chat and a meal.

The latter followed her.

Then, Amelia entered the kitchen and cooked a plate of pasta bolognese for her. Jolin accepted the food gratefully and started to dig in.

In no time, the plate was empty.

“Here, wipe your mouth.” Seeing that, Amelia handed her a napkin.

Jolin took it and cleaned her mouth casually. Looking a little shy, she said, “Mrs. Clinton, I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you. I eat as though I’ve starved for days. There’s nothing feminine about me when I eat.”

All Amelia did was smile gently.

“Mrs. Clinton, do you have plans now that you have returned? I suppose you want Boss to be with you again?” asked Jolin as she looked at Amelia.

The former really hoped that Amelia could become their boss’ wife again. That way, Oscar’s group of loyal bodyguards, including her, would enjoy better days. Otherwise, with Isabella throwing her weight around, they would definitely complain as days went on since they were all proud people. It would only be a matter of time before conflicts arose between Oscar and the bodyguards. When that happened, the empire that he built from scratch would be ruined.

“Oscar is my beloved. Of course, I will return to him,” said Amelia.

Hearing that, Jolin let out a sigh of relief.

“Jolin, there’s something I’ve been meaning to find out. If any one of you wants to leave the organization, what kind of punishment will you receive?” Amelia asked after a moment of contemplation.

Jolin glanced at her with complicated emotions in her eyes. For a moment, she fell silent.
