Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 150,Love You Enough to Leave You

Amelia gave Tiffany a nudge, signaling her to stop talking nonsense. Gary noticed her subtle act. “Is it okay if I call you by Amelia?” he asked smilingly. Out of courtesy, Amelia nodded in agreement. Having noticed Gary’s change of attitude, Tiffany grew wary of him. She pretended to ask casually, “Gary, it seems like you’re interested in Amelia?” To her surprise, Gary openly admitted it. “Well, Amelia is my type. Her beauty and near-perfect figure can drive any man crazy. Too bad she already has a boyfriend, or I would definitely chase her. Oh, poor me! I’m left with a broken heart before I even get a taste of love!” The way he spoke with disarming frankness made both Tiffany and Amelia let their guard down.

Amelia handed Gary a glass of water as a gesture of goodwill. She then apologized, “Gary, I’m sorry for being harsh just now. Here, have some water.” Exaggeratedly, Gary exclaimed, “What an honor to have a beautiful lady pouring me a glass of water! I will drink it without any hesitation, even if it’s poison.” The man’s exaggeration made both the ladies titter. Tiffany pretended to be mad while she said, “Gary, you’re unfair! I was the one who livened up the atmosphere with you, but you never took your eyes off Amelia all the while. Am I not beautiful?”

Hearing that, Gary quickly explained, “You’re beautiful as well, but the two of you are different. You’re the girl-next-door type, while Amelia is like the popular girl in school. She’s like an opium poppy—attractive and deadly. She might not have the most beautiful facial features, but every man is naturally attracted to her. That’s why she can put all women standing next to her in the shade.” At that point, with a sheepish smile, Gary rubbed the back of his head. “I’m a crude man, and I’m not good at giving flowery and fancy compliments, but you get what I mean.”

Tiffany took a bite of her pasta. As if enlightened by Gary’s words, she said cheekily, “Ah, no wonder! So, Amelia is the reason a beautiful lady like me can’t find a husband. However, she’s the best friend ever. I’ve no choice but to live without a husband then. Oh, Amelia, I’ve sacrificed so much for you!” Amelia glanced at Tiffany while shaking her head in amusement. “Tiff.” The latter gave a shrug of her shoulder and said smilingly, “I’m just joking. But I mean it when I say you’re the best friend ever.” Gary could tell that the two were as thick as thieves.

be close to each other. Yet, a little misunderstanding could turn them into enemies.” Hearing that, Tiffany held her head high in pride. “Well, Amelia and I are more than friends! We are more like a family, or rather, closer than a family. Back then, we could only count on ourselves, building our careers from scratch. We’ve been through a lot together, and we won’t let anything come between us. I suppose those

about this when you introduce me to her.” Playfully, Tiffany retorted, “Gary, don’t you belittle yourself! You’re a sincere and straightforward man, and you have a considerate side. Not only are you good-looking, rather, you also own properties and cars. It’s normal for my friend to have her eyes on a man like you. I’m just afraid you will not be interested in her.” “You’re

He then took a glance at his watch and realized it was already two in the morning. “Ladies, it’s getting late now. Let me drive you guys home,” he offered. Tiffany rejected his offer politely. “That’s very kind of you, but we drove here. We can go home on our own.” “Well then. Drive safe! Call me if there’s anything; I’ll be at your

now.” After a short pause, she asked, “Tiff, why are we suddenly making friends with Gary?” “You’re seven months pregnant now, and your due date is approaching. We should take precautions against any accident. Hence, I was thinking of hiring two bodyguards from his security service firm to protect you.” Hearing that, Amelia let out a chuckle. “Apart from

Amelia seemed to be deep in thought. Five minutes later, she nodded her agreement. With a smug smile, Tiffany said, “Babe, I knew you would agree!” Their car pulled up at the neighborhood half an hour later. Tiffany threw herself onto the sofa as soon as they entered the house. Just then, her editor called. Having no choice, she let out a
