Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 116,Love You Enough to Leave You

At that point, Tiffany was really tinged with disappointment. “Babe, can you please toughen up? Marriage has to be managed, and you can’t do that if you give yourself up to vice. Are you trying to piss me off? If you love Oscar, then you should get him back. It doesn’t make sense that you tolerate him so generously when you’re with him, and then when you’re alone you can’t stop wallowing in self-pity. If you have what it takes, you can win him over; if you haven’t, then get ready to say goodbye. Merry meet, merry part. You have me, and I’ll take care of your baby too.

You know I won’t let him starve.” Amelia covered her face in her hands. What felt like a minute later, she began to release her sadness that had been repressed for so long. The weeping gradually amplified and turned into wailing, as though she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered all these years in one go. Tiffany’s heart instantly softened. Carefully, she held the woman in her arms and gently patting her on the back. She whispered to Amelia, “Shh… it’s okay, don’t cry. You’re with child now. If you get too emotional, it’s not good for fetal development.

Didn’t the doctor say that? Your body can’t really accommodate an emotional roller-coaster at the moment, so… for the sake of your baby, don’t cry, alright? You should know that Oscar isn’t your best match from the minute you marry him. The two of you are destined to live in two different worlds. It’s perfectly fine for you two to go your separate ways right now. Babe, come on. Don’t cry.” Amelia continued to whimper in Tiffany’s arms. That went on for some time, then she started to choke in between sobs. “Tiff, do you think I’m a special kind of coward?

I admit I am, but even so, it still hurts. I feel this tightness in my chest, like it’s been ripped into shreds many times over.” She hiccupped once and then continued sobbing. “I know things won’t work out with Oscar, but I’m such a fool. I can’t help falling in love with him, and I’ve fallen in too deep. I often ask myself, where did I go wrong? Why can’t he love me for who I am? Everyone says that I’m Cinderella, that I’m nothing more but a gold digger, but I’ve been working so hard in order to be recognized as the Clintons’ daughter-in-law. I studied etiquette. I took up piano, chess, and art lessons. I even went through the hassle of learning how to read sheet music. But everyone ignored my efforts.

Clintons said I’m not a good match for Oscar. Why do they say that? Where did I go wrong? Why is everyone excluding me? Tiff, let me tell you something. It’s tough being the Clintons’ daughter-in-law. No matter how hard I tried, everyone thinks all of the above are kinds of stuff that I ought to do, and that if I’m not smart enough to handle all that, I don’t deserve to be their daughter-in-law!” Tiffany empathized with her sorrow. She felt

so much like my mother to me. Among the Clintons, apart from Oscar, she’s the one whom I can’t bear to leave the most. I finally have a home, Tiff, but why does happiness never stay long enough for me to enjoy it?” Tiffany shoved Amelia a little further apart. “Hey, look into my eyes.” Amelia did as she was told. “Amelia, you’re doing great.

and responded, “Tiff, I’m grateful to you. Truly, I am. No matter what happens to me, you’re always standing firmly on my side. How nice it’d be if you were a man! The two of us would make a wonderful couple, and I won’t have to work so hard.” Tiffany snorted, amused by

one who’s stuck by him in the past few years, the one who cared about his wellbeing, and the one who satisfied his biological urges. Don’t look at me like that. I’m just telling you the bare facts. Now, you’ll go to the hospital and take care of Cassie on his behalf. Let him see how capricious that woman really is!” Amelia hesitated. “Is that really okay?”

want your baby to be born fatherless. Think about it. When your child grows up and attends preschool, elementary school, junior high, all the way to high school… and throughout all these years it’s always you, the mother, who goes to pick him up. It’s always you who attends the parent-teacher meetings. When the classmates ask about his father, do you want him to say that

life, you can’t make up for the absence of a father figure.” Tiffany’s statement seemed to strike a chord with the mother-to-be. Eventually, Amelia gave a firm nod. “That’s the spirit, babe! Dare to pursue the one you love! Even if we fail in

that, they headed straight to the Principal General Hospital. When they got there, they asked the front desk for

as she greeted the older woman, “Oscar told me that Ms. Yard had an accident, so I’m here to pay her a visit.” Elizabeth was evidently repulsed by her statement. “Cassie’s doing fine. Spare me your crocodile tears, and leave!” Tiffany sneered, and when she spoke there was a hint of mockery, “Mrs. Yard, is this how you treat your guests? If so, I’d surely question the Yard family’s definition of manners and courtesy. Hmm, turning away guests at your door… I guess that’s just what wealthy families do.” Elizabeth froze when she heard that. Eventually, she relented and invited them into the

for a moment. A shadow slipped across her face. “Why are you here?” she blurted. Tiffany placed the fruits and flowers on the table before she turned to reply the patient, “We heard that you’ve been admitted to the hospital due to some kind of accident, so we wanted to pay you a visit. What’s wrong, Ms. Yard?
