Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 818 Unreachable

Derrick went after them and called out to Tiffany’s departing figure, causing her to freeze while a complicated glint arose in her eyes. “Go on, Tiff,” Amelia coaxed. “You should talk things through with him properly.”

Tiffany pondered for a long while before nodding. Amelia and Oscar stood tactfully aside as Derrick quickly arrived before Tiffany and gazed lovingly at her. “Can I assume that there’s a chance you might forgive me based on what you said in there, Tiff?” he asked expectantly, though he appeared afraid of her answer.

Tiffany sighed and gazed up at him. “I don’t know if I would ever forgive you, but I know for certain that I can’t take you back like none of this ever happened.” Derrick saw a glimmer of hope.

“It’s all right,” he said at once. “I’m willing to wait however long it takes, as long as you’ll forgive me. Crystal and I are not what you think. I’m not making excuses for myself since I have indeed done wrong, but I only have you in my heart.”

Tiffany gazed deeply at him and gave a bitter smile. She did not know which of Derrick’s words were genuine and which were not, and she wanted to ask if his vows were so cheap that he had violated them less than a year into their marriage.

However, she swallowed the urge to say those things. It no longer matters whether or not I asked him.

“I’m heading back. I want to straighten my thoughts. So don’t come over in the next few days. I can’t think rationally when I see you,” Tiffany declared, deliberately lowering her eyes to avoid looking at Derrick’s anticipatory ones.

Despite how much she had once loved him, she felt disgusted at what Derrick had become and could not bring herself to believe he loved her.

Derrick grabbed her hand, but she shook him off as if she had touched something foul.

His gaze dimmed.

“I’m leaving.” Tiffany turned to leave without another word.

Derrick gazed longingly after her departing silhouette got into the car, which sped off soon after.

He clenched his fists slowly as his heart twinged with guilt. I have single-handedly destroyed the trust between us. I’m sorry, Tiff.

Tiffany gazed listlessly out the window at the scenery racing past. Amelia was worried sick about her friend’s state.

“What are you thinking of, Tiff?” she asked at last.

Tiffany jumped. She turned around and faced Amelia, disoriented.
