Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 690 Crosby Foster

Oscar took Amelia out for a meal. Derrick had also contacted his friends on that side, but coincidentally, everyone was away on business trips. They would only be back two days later.

Derrick smiled bitterly at Tiffany and said, “Tiff, I’m sorry. They are all not available at the moment. But, don’t worry. I have already told them to come back as soon as possible.”

Tiffany adjusted his coat before reassuring him, “Don’t apologize. It’s Jayden’s fault. I should be the one apologizing.”

Derrick pulled her into his arms. “All we can do now is to wait for Mr. Clinton’s news. I realize that I am nowhere as capable as Mr. Clinton when dealing with emergencies.”

“You’re also very outstanding compared to others. My husband is not a good-for-nothing.”

When Derrick heard the compliment, he caressed her hair with a smile on his face.

Oscar took Amelia to a high-end Chanaen restaurant where the hostess brought them to their private dining room on the second floor. The hostess knocked on the door and only opened it when she received approval to do so.

She gestured to them before saying, “Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, this way please.”

When Oscar and Amelia went in, a middle-aged man of around forty walked toward them. He was well-built and good-looking. His confident demeanor told Amelia that he was someone of great importance.

Just as Amelia was studying the man, he walked up to Oscar and gave him a fist bump before embracing Oscar warmly.

After their brotherly greeting, the man noticed Amelia and asked, “Is this your wife?”

Oscar nodded and introduced the two of them, “Yes, this is my wife, Amelia. We have been married for nearly eight years now.” Oscar then turned to Amelia and said, “Amelia, this is Crosby, and he’s into real estate. If you like to read financial publications, you should know him. That’s because he has been featured in the country’s most popular financial newspapers before, and can be considered one of the big players in the city. He’s a few years older than us.”

said, “Hi, Crosby. It’s a pleasure to meet you. When I was twenty years old, I had already read about you in financial publications. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the good fortune to meet you until now.
