Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 551 Pretending To Faint

Back at the condominium, Amelia left Oscar to accompany and play with Tony. She pulled out her phone and called Tiffany. The events of the past few days had swamped her. She’d forgotten to check on Tiffany and the Hissons.

Amelia asked, “Tiff, how are you and Derrick? His mother isn’t treating you too badly, is he?”

Tiffany glanced at Kate, who was sitting right across the table. She whispered, “Amelia, she’s right here. I’ll have to call you back.”

Amelia understood. Kate was the only person who could make Tiffany so timid and cautious.

“All right, call me when you can. Why don’t you come over for dinner later? Tony hasn’t seen you in a long time,” said Amelia.

“Sure thing. I’ll see you tonight,” murmured Tiffany. She hastily hung up the phone, as if it scalded her.

Amelia stared at her phone. Shaking her head, she didn’t know what to feel.

Tiffany was deeply uneasy. She was trapped in the restaurant with Kate, who scrutinized her every move like a vulture.

Mustering up her courage, Tiffany squeaked, “Mrs. Hisson, we’ve been sitting here for half an hour. Should we order something?”

“It’s only half-past ten. Do you think it’s proper to be eating at a time like this?” asked Kate. She was intentionally making things difficult for Tiffany.

Tiffany thought, If you don’t think we should be eating at this hour, why the hell did you invite me over to a restaurant? An ordinary person would have to work ten months to afford the expensive booth that we’re both sitting in right now. Do you have so much money that you have no idea what to do with it? She wanted to say all this to Kate, but she didn’t have the guts.

She wanted nothing more than to marry Derrick. So, getting Kate’s approval was a test she had to pass. She loved Derrick, so it was impossible for her to say she wanted nothing to do with his family.

Love was between two people, but two different families had to come together for a marriage. Without both their parents’ blessing, she wouldn’t be able to run away with Derrick or marry him. Such a marriage could initially be a happy one. However, disagreements would show up over time. When that happens, both parties would wield these disagreements as weapons to attack each other.

She didn’t want her and Derrick to end up as strangers.
