Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 502 Entangled Again

Carter arrived at his parked car and saw a familiar figure standing next to it. He was stunned for a moment, and he looked somewhat troubled by it. The figure raised her head as though she had sensed his presence. After exchanging glances, she eventually revealed a bright smile.

“Carter.”

Carter masked the uneasiness and stepped up to Jennifer. “When did you come back? Didn’t you leave the country with your parents?”

Jennifer looked at him and forced a bitter smile before responding, “I couldn’t forget you, so I left without saying goodbye. I know you don’t want me to return, but I don’t have a choice. Even if you despise me, I can’t get you out of my head.”

Carter fixed his gaze on the girl who had previously left him but had now appeared before him. A wave of mixed emotions instantly washed over him. He knew she loved him, but he couldn’t forget Amelia. Hence, he believed he would only disappoint Jennifer.

“Have you eaten?” He changed the subject.

She shook her head in response.

“My treat, let’s go eat. It feels nice to come back after living abroad for so long, right?” Carter said.

Jennifer couldn’t help but grin when she heard that. At least he didn’t say anything hurtful to her.

Back then, Laura pleaded and sobbed for her to go to Archulea once she was discharged from the hospital because their family business was there. Jennifer went with her, but her heart felt empty. It was agonizing to her. Every day, all she did was stare blankly outside of the window.

During her time abroad, she realized the true meaning of the saying – “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” The more she tried to forget Carter, the more difficult it was to move on. He was constantly in her thoughts, no matter what she did. She couldn’t live her life normally, so she chose to return even though it would break her parents’ hearts.

“Here. What do you feel like having?” Carter interrupted her thoughts by handing her the menu.

Jennifer did not take the menu; instead, she responded, “Carter, you can go ahead and order. Whatever you like, I like.”

After glancing at her for a moment, he had no choice but to order a few dishes.

“Since there are only two of us, I’ve ordered only a few simple dishes,” Carter stated as he handed the menu to the waiter.

“Sure.” Jennifer didn’t mind.
