Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 670 Intending To Propose

Derrick paid Amelia a visit. Amelia put her bag on the chair before taking a seat. She asked smilingly, “Derrick, is something the matter with you asking me out so secretively?”

Derrick passed her the menu. “Order some food first. We’ll talk while we eat.”

Soon after they placed the order, the servers brought them the foods they had ordered. Derrick also asked for a bottle of red wine and poured Amelia a small glass.

Amelia swirled the wine in the glass and chuckled. “Derrick, aren’t you making things too grand? First a meal and now wine. Don’t tell me you’re hiding something from Tiff?”

Instead of responding to her question, Derrick merely lifted and clinked his glass with hers. “Cheers.”

Despite being highly baffled by his behavior, Amelia still took a sip of the wine. Then she picked up her fork and ate a few mouthfuls before she said, “So, will you tell me now?”

“I intend to propose to Tiff tomorrow, and I need your help.”

Hearing that, Amelia almost choked on the food in her mouth. That piece of good news came so abruptly that she could not process it well.

She let out a few coughs before asking, “W-What did you say?”

“I want to propose to Tiff. But why do you seem so surprised?” Derrick looked at Amelia, who rarely lost her composure, in amusement.

Grabbing the napkin to wipe her mouth, she replied, “It’s nothing like that. It just didn’t cross my mind that you’d say that. Of course, I’m delighted to learn that you want to propose to Tiff. Tell me, what am I supposed to do?”

Derrick went ahead to share his plan with her.

Amelia nodded in acknowledgment but brought up the old conversation again. “Have the Hissons agreed to your decision?”

“I’ve talked to my mom. She seems less rigid as compared to the past. Even though she didn’t say it explicitly, I think she has accepted how things are, especially after Crystal’s matter. I know Tiff has suffered too much recently. I want to marry her. Perhaps this celebratory event might wash away all the gloominess.”

Amelia’s heart melted as she listened to his words.

She raised her glass and said, “Let’s have a toast. If you really marry Tiff, I hope you’ll treat her sincerely and never let her get hurt. It hasn’t been easy for her these years. Others might think a freelance novelist like her is an easy job, but you and I both know how she gets no sleep when she gets busy. She not only suffers gastritis as a result, but she even landed in the hospital once because of a spinal condition. She faces so many issues with her body from head to toe. You must watch out for her and shower her with all the love you can give.”
