Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 161 Cringy Phone Conversation

In the end, she grew tired and stopped hitting him. “Carter, please tell me that was a joke,” she demanded furiously.

Unfazed, Carter told her, “Mom, I’m tired. You should head home.”

He successfully ignited her anger again.

“Damn it! Why are you so stubborn? You have plenty of choices out there. Why won’t you give up on Amelia? Is she that amazing? Is she worth all your efforts?” Faye yelled in fury. “You’re seriously taking revenge on what I did back then. I raised you up, but this is what I get in return. How disappointing!”

Carter’s mind was throbbing dully. First, Jennifer caused a scene, followed by his mother. He couldn’t help but get depressed.

Meanwhile, Faye took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Sitting down, she dismissed everything with a wave and said, “Carter, we both need to calm down. I was too rash earlier.”

Carter lay in bed silently. It was more exhausting to deal with both women than to work nonstop for four days.

As Faye folded her arms, she spoke calmly, “Carter, tell me. What must I do before you’ll agree to marry Jennifer?”

“Mom, I won’t marry her,” repeated Carter stonily.

Exasperated, Faye told herself, This is my son. He’s my son. I can’t get mad as we can talk things out.

It took her a while to regain her composure before she spoke gently, “Carter, I know you’re still sick, hence the immature words. Can we stop arguing?”

Carter’s head was throbbing. “Mom, I wasn’t trying to argue with you. Forget it. I’m tired, so I’m going to sleep now.”

Faye towered above Carter and said, “I’m not trying to force you, Carter. All I want is for you to forget Amelia and start a relationship with Jennifer. You need to give her a chance to find out if she’s the right one for you.”

In response, Carter’s eyelids fluttered shut.

Faye reached out and shook him to force out a reply from him. Utterly annoyed, Carter opened his eyes again and responded, “Mom, please give me some freedom if you still think of me as your son. The more you force me, the further I’ll drift apart from you. One day, we might end up being strangers. Don’t blame me, for this is all your doing.”

Faye was dumbfounded as she had never expected her son to say something this brutal to her.

Sighing, Carter added, “Mom, leave me alone. I’m really drained out by Jennifer and your actions. Do you know how torturing it is to be plagued by a woman you don’t even know? Stop pushing me to do stuff I hate!”

Disbelief flashed across Faye’s face.

“I’m doing this for you. How could you say that to hurt me?” Faye slumped down in her seat in dejection.
