Too Much To Bear My Love

Taking in a deep breath, Faye continued, “Amelia, are you still holding a grudge for what I’ve done back then? This is just how I protect my son as his mother, that’s all. Carter was young back then, and he was at the age where he should be focusing on his career, not women. That’s why I set you up to leave him. Let me apologize to you about that now.”

Amelia continued eating her food, unperturbed her words. There was no way she would believe that Faye was sincerely apologizing to her.

After all, people rarely changed; Faye had resorted to violence before approaching her under the guise of guilt.

“Mrs. Scott, speak your mind. Honestly, it seems like you feel awkward putting on this front, and it looks unnatural to us too,” Tiffany exposed.

Having been continuously attacked by Tiffany verbally, Faye was beginning to scowl.

Wiping her mouth with her handkerchief again, Faye asked, “Are you done eating?”

Pointing at the barely touched dishes, Tiffany voiced, “Mrs. Scott, I’m sure you see those too, but you’re asking if we’re done? Just speak what’s on your mind.” Once you’re done, you can get lost.

As she remained seated, she said, “Finish your meal first. Once you’re done, we’ll have some tea.”

Thus, Amelia and Tiffany stopped bothering themselves with her and began focusing on their food.

Watching the two enjoy their food, Faye’s scowl deepened.

She hated the scent of stew, and the smell of it in the restaurant was pungent to her. She was born with a golden spoon, and she had been exposed to the wealthy, meticulous lifestyle since young. A noisy restaurant like this was a place she would never step in willingly.

Faye did not know whether Amelia and Tiffany were doing it intentionally or not, but they took two and a half hours before finishing it. Every time Faye was about to say something, Tiffany would retort, “You can leave first if you have something else to do.”

Thus, Faye could do nothing but suppress her anger.

When they finally finished eating, Faye ran out of the restaurant, unable to stand the scent any second longer. At that, Tiffany crowed, “You brought it upon yourself. I hate rich women like you. You obviously hate ordinary places like these, but you keep pretending as if you don’t care. Your very presence is affecting my appetite.”

Amelia was silent as she raised a brow at Tiffany’s sparkling clean plate.

“Let’s go. At the end of the day, she’s still someone we should respect. We’ll only trouble Carter in the end if we keep her waiting any longer,” Amelia suggested.

Tiffany frowned.

After exiting the restaurant, Amelia asked, “Mrs. Scott, is there somewhere you’d like to go?”

She replied, “I’ve made a reservation a moment ago. We’ll take my car there.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Scott, for your goodwill, but we have our own car. You can drive ahead of us, and we’ll just follow behind you.”
