Chapter 151,Love You Enough to Leave You

After Tiffany ended the call, Amelia asked, “Was that Shannon?” Tiffany nodded. Then, Amelia remarked, “It seems like those working as an editor are all but night owls. They work tirelessly just to get a book published.” Tiffany stood up and stretched lazily. “Editor is a high-risk profession. They are at a higher risk of sudden cardiac death as they always need to work off-the-clock.” Amelia shook her head in disagreement. She thought Tiffany was exaggerating it. “Babe, go take your shower and then go to bed. It’s late now, and the baby needs some rest.”

Amelia complied as she entered Tiffany’s bedroom and took a new set of pajamas. Then, she took a warm shower in the washroom. It was already half-past-three in the morning after their shower. As it was past their usual bedtime, they found it difficult to fall asleep. Lying on the bed, Tiffany asked, “Babe, I’m not sleepy at all. What now?” Amelia said, “I’m not sleepy as well.” Tiffany turned to face Amelia. “Why don’t we have a chat?” “About what?” “Well, tell me what you think about Oscar. How do you feel about him?” Amelia blinked her eyes, feeling confused. “What do I think about him?”

Tiffany asked cautiously, “Babe, I don’t mean to pry into your personal affairs nor was it my intention to rain on your parade. It’s just that Oscar is indecisive between you and Cassie. If—only if—he chooses Cassie in the end, what are you going to do?” The smile on Amelia’s face gradually faded while her face grew serious as she mulled over Tiffany’s words. Tiffany felt bad bringing up such a heavy topic in the middle of the night. Without waiting for Amelia’s response, she shrugged her shoulders and decided to end the topic. “Babe, I’m feeling tired. Let’s sleep now.”

Amelia flashed her a relieved smile. “Tiff, I’m okay. We can talk about it. Well, I’ve actually thought of the worst that can happen between Oscar and me. Yet, I don’t want to be so pessimistic about our relationship because the future is full of uncertainty. After all, he has indirectly promised me that he will genuinely treat me as his wife.” Tiffany couldn’t help feeling guilty for spoiling the mood. “Babe, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to dishearten you. I hope more than anyone else that you and Oscar can have a happy ending. Trust me! I really wish you, Oscar, and the baby can live happily together.” Amelia found her reaction amusing. “Tiff, I know you’re just concerned about me. We are besties, after all.

small favors.” Tiffany hugged her friend while she spoke under her breath, “Babe, I’m sorry. I know you’ve been through a rough time over the years. Actually, I feel complicated seeing you morphed into a stunner, from a carefree little girl. It’s like witnessing an innocent

baby. If we end up divorcing each other, that means we are not fated to be together.” Tiffany scrutinized Amelia’s expression. “Babe, is that your genuine thought?” Amelia lay down beside Tiffany. Then, she replied, “Of course, that’s my genuine thought. For me, it’s too much to ask for love. As you know, the marriage between Oscar and I is a contract marriage. The two of us come from two totally different worlds; our families have a huge social gap. Hence, our marriage is

together after five years, and we will even be expecting a baby soon. I think it’s already a bonus for me.” Her words made Tiffany’s heart ached. The next moment, she heard Amelia’s low voice, saying, “It’s late now. Let’s sleep.” She nodded and turned off the bedside lamp. As for Amelia, she kept her eyes open, staring into the darkness. After

really be mad if you keep apologizing.” Feeling relieved, Tiffany broke into a smile. Within five minutes, the two ladies were sound asleep. At ten in the morning, the two of them were awakened by the ringing phone. With her eyes half-open, Tiffany groped for the phone and answered it. An unfamiliar voice of a man was heard over the phone, “Are you still sleeping?” Since the voice didn’t

to disturb a woman trying to get her beauty sleep. That’s it. Goodbye!” With that, she hung up. It was not even a minute after she lay down on the bed when the phone rang again. This time, it was Amelia’s phone that was ringing. Amelia nudged Tiffany and muttered, “Tiff, help me answer the phone. I’m too

since it was an anonymous caller. Growing impatient, she raised her voice as she asked, “Who the hell are you? I only slept at three in the morning, and I’m tired. If you got the wrong number, end the

instant, she couldn’t help feeling sorry for her harsh attitude. “Oh, Gary, I’m really sorry. It was late when we got home yesterday, and we didn’t get to save your number. Amelia is still sleeping, so I answered her phone for her. I’m sorry, I’m usually a little grumpy in the morning. I hope I didn’t scare you or did I?” “No. Well, your morning grumpiness is indeed one of a kind.”

hours!” “You guys can take your time and have breakfast before you come.

Like what Gary said yesterday, Amelia was indeed a woman full of tremendous charisma. Most women would stay away from her because of jealousy. In contrast, men would easily be attracted by her charisma and soon fall for her. Tiffany shook her head to get rid of the undesirable
