Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 880 Obvious Hatred Toward Her

Amelia’s hand froze, and she looked at him bewilderedly. “Left the country? Why?” she queried in puzzlement. The smile on Carter’s face appeared more like a grimace.

“Something happened to her mom. She passed away two months ago. Before she breathed her last, Jennifer’s mom held her hand and asked her not to be with me. I was also present at the time. I don’t know why things came to this point. We just finally got together,” he covered his face with his hands and said in a low voice.

Numerous possibilities crossed Amelia’s mind, but none involved Laura’s demise. Wasn’t she fine previously? Why did she die so suddenly? Moreover, with Laura’s final wish before passing away, I’m afraid that Jennifer and Carter won’t be able to get together in this lifetime.

“Wasn’t Mrs. Larson fine before, Carter? Why did she pass away so suddenly?” Amelia asked with some difficulty.

“She had previously been bitten by a dog, and despite receiving an injection, there were leftover toxins in her body, which led to her sudden illness and death. Back then, I accompanied Jennifer abroad to visit her parents, but I didn’t think it would be our final encounter. After that, she told me to return to the country while she remained overseas. I tried to look for her, but she and Mr. Larson moved, so I have no idea about her current whereabouts.” Carter ran a hand down his face and recomposed himself when he saw the waiter carrying the food over.

Amelia also did not expect such an outcome. If I didn’t allow Oscar to take revenge on Laura when she threw something at me back then, maybe things wouldn’t have gotten to this stage. In a way, I have indirectly caused her sudden demise. I thought that with Carter’s mediation, Jennifer and I could at least not be enemies even if we couldn’t clear our differences. But I guess that’s not possible anymore.

“Carter, I’m so sorry for causing you two to end up like this, but I can’t figure out why Mrs. Larson didn’t entrust Jennifer to you even before she passed away,” she uttered, feeling confused.

Even though Laura suddenly fell ill, there isn’t any mother on their deathbed who wouldn’t wish for their daughter to be happy. What’s more, Jennifer is her only daughter. She certainly wouldn’t be able to stand by and watch her daughter be miserable.

Carter’s expression turned even more bitter.

Laura’s last wish kept running through his mind. He thought that the Larsons would be ecstatic about his and Jennifer’s union. Never did he expect that when Jennifer took him abroad to see her parents, not only did they not welcome him as he had imagined, but they even said in front of him that he was not good enough for Jennifer and that he had already missed the best time to take care of her.

Since he was absent during Jennifer’s most trying time, he did not have the right to be with her, and Laura’s illness was a direct death sentence for him.

“Come. Let’s eat. It’s rare for you to come back from overseas, so let’s not talk about these depressing things.” Carter shook his head and attempted to switch the subject subtly.

Amelia picked up her fork and tried one of the dishes, finding it quite tasty.

She then thoughtfully scooped some food for Carter and told him to eat more.

After the meal, as they left the Koandrian restaurant, Carter asked with his hands in his pockets, “Would you mind going to the bar with me?”

Amelia agreed before calling Tiffany to tell her that she was going to the bar with Carter and asked the latter to pick her up around eleven at night.

“Let’s go.”

The two arrived at a bar called “Nocturne.” They went in together, ordered a lot of liquor at the counter, and sat in the corner.

The place was not very noisy, probably because it was still early, so there were not many patrons at the bar.

After the waiter brought over the alcohol, Carter opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Amelia. “Come. Let’s drink to our unluckiness in love,” he said.

Amelia took the beer and smiled bitterly. She felt like the whole world knew about her and Oscar’s divorce.

Within a year, she seemed to have become a pitiful creature in everyone’s eyes, abandoned by Oscar without any explanation.

She clinked her beer bottle with Carter’s before raising her head and taking a big gulp of beer.

“I heard that Mr. Clinton forgot all about you and got together with Isabella. Is this true?” Carter also took a big gulp of beer before bringing up the subject.

Amelia wagged her finger at him. “You’re very inconsiderate, Carter. This matter is no longer a secret within the industry. Also, Oscar didn’t forget about me but mixed up my identity with Isabella’s. In his heart, she’s the woman he loves, while I’m simply a troublesome woman. Fate loves messing with us; you and Jennifer, as well as me and Oscar. We parted ways for a variety of reasons. After that, I left the country, partly to make myself stronger and partly to escape reality. I refuse to believe that Oscar has truly forgotten every moment between us, but that’s the reality; he did forget, and I was caught off guard.”

Carter gloomily took another huge gulp of beer.

“For this reason, Amelia, we should get smashed today,” he said.

However, Amelia shook her head.

“I’ve been running away for a year now, and I don’t wish to do that anymore. We can drink a little to soothe our emotions, but there’s no need to get drunk. We’ve passed the age of drowning our sorrows in alcohol. If you truly can’t give up on Jennifer, go and win her back. Just like me. As long as Oscar is still around, I’ll be able to make him remember everything someday. I don’t believe that our time together will be so short. We still have a long way to go, so don’t you lose hope.”

Carter lowered his head and laughed gloomily.
