Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 149,Love You Enough to Leave You

“Mrs. Scott, I have no intention to put you on the spot. I was just worried that you were actually considering Amelia to be your daughter-in-law. When you first proposed the marriage between Carter and me to my parents, I flew all the way home. I fell in love with Carter at first sight and resolved to be his wife. Mrs. Scott, if you decide not to back me, I don’t know what else I can do,” Jennifer said pitifully. Faye smiled. Comforting Jennifer, she said, “You’re the daughter-in-law of my choice, Jennifer. Amelia is already one of the Clintons. Nothing can happen between her and Oscar.

Don’t let your imagination run wild. You’ll become a laughingstock.” Jennifer nodded. The smile remained frozen on her face, but her eyes were menacing. At that moment, Tiffany had dragged Amelia into the lift. Due to the odd hour, the entrance of the hospital appeared entirely desolate. The crisp morning air was chilly. Tiffany rubbed her hands together, and asked, “Babe, are you cold?” Amelia shook her head. “I’m fine.” Tiffany tugged at Amelia’s sleeve. “Babe, it’s been a real rollercoaster of a night and I’ve gotten a little hungry. Shall we get supper? It won’t hurt to fill our stomachs with something warm.” Amelia nodded. Tiffany drove Amelia to a nearby diner. Before they got off, Tiffany turned to Amelia and queried, “You wouldn’t mind eating here, would you?”

Bemused, Amelia replied, “Tiff, do you really see me as an uppity princess now? Don’t forget that I went through hard times on my own before I married Oscar! We used to eat at small, homely diners like these together. Don’t you remember?” Tiffany beamed. “I was just worried that after so long, you might have gotten too used to the taste of fine dining.” Amelia detached her seatbelt. “Let’s go, then.” Tiffany followed suit, the two of them entering the diner. Even though it was past midnight, the diner was packed. There were all sorts of characters, but somehow the presence of Tiffany and Amelia managed to draw all eyes to them nonetheless. They couldn’t help it. Both Amelia and Tiffany were gorgeous creatures.

Even though Amelia was seven months pregnant, her features remained as lovely as ever. Her figure wasn’t as alluring as it used to be, but she remained an intriguing sight all the same. Tiffany didn’t lag behind in her look but forged ahead with her sense of style and fashionable clothing. With their combined beauty and sophisticated air, Amelia and Tiffany immediately became the center of attraction. Tiffany glanced around. Then, she called to the owner, “Are there still any tables available?” The lady owner was already heartily striding towards Amelia and Tiffany, bustling, “Sure, let me get you a table.

Why don’t we head over to your firm tomorrow to take a look?” “Sure,” the man said amenably. “How should I address you, then, mister?” Tiffany asked again. “My last name’s Laird. I’m thirty-one years old this year. Even

alright?” Amelia asked. Tiffany nodded. “Gary, sorry you have to see me make a fool of myself,” Tiffany turned back to Gary and said with a self-deprecating laugh. Gary shook his head, answered, “You seem like a rather straightforward person

I’ll give you a sixty percent discount.” “Gary, I thought we were friends! Shouldn’t there be a special price for me? If others pay a thousand for a service, I’ll pay ninety-nine,” Tiffany teased. Gary froze for a moment, then guffawed. “I admire your frankness. Fine, if there’s anything you need, I’ll definitely let you have that special price,” Gary agreed. Tiffany waved her hands frantically. “I was
