Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 663 Merely A Misunderstanding

Nevertheless, being the stubborn person he was, Carter was unwilling to admit that he actually cared for Jennifer. Hence, he only stayed with Amelia for half an hour before he left.

As she watched him disappear into the flow of the traffic, Amelia shook her head haplessly. She then uttered under her breath, “Oh, Carter. While you are able to understand the emotions of others, you are blind to your own. Indeed, it takes others to know oneself. Did you not realize that you were not as attached to me as you were before?”

It would appear that Carter had missed Jennifer after she had given up on her two-year-long pursuit of him. That was why her distancing herself from him had conversely yielded his attention.

Acknowledging how it might be improper for her to meddle too much in the love lives of others, Amelia decidedly went back to the office.

In the evening, a call came in from Tiffany after work.

When Amelia picked up, Tiffany sounded listless. “Are you free, Babe? Mrs. Hisson has invited me to attend the wedding of one of Derrick’s cousins. I’ve no idea what she’s up to, but whatever. Come over to my place if you’re available. I’ll let you in on the rest when you’re here.”

Considering it briefly, Amelia agreed, “I’ll see you in an hour.”

After she hung up, Amelia got into the car driven by Oscar and leaned over to give him a peck on his lips. “I won’t be able to have dinner with you and Tony tonight, and could you drop me off at Tiff’s? Mrs. Hisson has invited her to attend the wedding of one of Derrick’s cousins, and she has no idea what would be waiting for her there.”

Oscar’s lips curled up as he started the engine. “Then she may be in luck. I guess Old Mr. Hisson’s putting Mrs. Hisson under some real pressure, so tell Tiffany to make the most out of this opportunity. Perhaps we should start preparing a generous gift for her already.”

Amelia had also been put in a buoyant mood. More than anyone else, she would be delighted to be able to see her friend married off.

After Oscar rolled into the neighborhood, Amelia unbuckled her seat belt. “Head on home first, Oscar. I’m going to help Tiff check on her gown. You can come by and pick me up when I’m done.”

Oscar acknowledged her with a nod before Amelia alighted and took the elevator upstairs.

The sight of a disheveled and unkempt Tiffany had her frowning in disapproval. “What’s going on, Tiff? Why do you look so knackered?”

“Come on in first.” Tiffany turned sideways to allow Amelia through.

The former then shut the door behind Amelia. “Take a seat, Babe. I’m going to go freshen up for a bit.”

No more than five minutes elapsed before Tiffany reemerged in a clean change of clothes. However, there were dark circles beneath her eyes.

“What have you been up to, Tiff? Why are your eyes so puffy?” Amelia asked.

“I’ve been working on a manuscript for two days straight and haven’t gotten more than six hours of rest in between. It wasn’t long after I fell asleep that Mrs. Hisson’s call woke me,” the yawning Tiffany stretched herself on the couch and replied with a shrug.

“Weren’t you already close to finishing that manuscript that is due for publication? What’s with the rush then?” Amelia asked.
