Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 517 A Plea To Derrick

Back to Tiffany, she put on a defensive stance by crossing her arms, trying not to show her vulnerable side.

“Go on, Derrick. I’m all ears now,” she said firmly.

As Derrick walked toward her, Tiffany took a step back subconsciously and reached out her hand to stop him from approaching her instead. “Just stay where you are. I don’t want to be swayed or seduced by you until this matter is resolved.”

He looked at her helplessly and affectionately. “Silly woman. You could have heard me denying it in front of everyone if you hadn’t hurried away so quickly.”

“Really?”

Tiffany still did not believe his words.

Derrick sighed. “Tiff, even if you don’t believe me, can’t you believe your own instinct? Everyone knows we’re a couple. The editor in charge of you once asked me outright if we were dating, and I admitted it. Ask her yourself if you don’t believe my words. I don’t get why you would rather listen to other people’s words instead of believing my love for you. Honestly, I felt sad when I saw you turn around and leave like that yesterday. Although we have had this long-distance relationship for two years, I didn’t expect you would still not trust me after all this time.”

As she looked at Derrick’s frustrated and helpless expression for the first time, Tiffany could not help but feel bad.

There was a hint of panic in her eyes as she tried to organize her words. However, the more anxious she felt, the more tongue-tied she became.

“Derrick, I was… I was only being jealous. I’m jealous that Crystal has your mother’s approval. As much as I tried to get her acknowledgment and approval, to her, I’m only someone who earns her living by writing. Other than that, I’m practically a useless woman,” Tiffany incoherently said as she waved her hands helplessly.

Derrick came forward and held her in his arms, resting his chin on top of her head, and said, “What am I supposed to do with you? If I really liked Crystal, I wouldn’t have dated you. The reason I didn’t deny it immediately when my mother introduced Crystal as my fiancée was because I didn’t want to say anything that would offend and humiliate my mother. She’d probably get mad at me for a while, but she will definitely vent her anger on you instead. You know she doesn’t have a good impression of you anyway, and if I acted like that in public, my mother would blame you for it. I can see that you did not consider all the painstaking effort I put into this relationship.”

Tiffany was taken aback by his words. She had not expected Derrick’s true intention to protect her.
