Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 896 Guarded

“Go ahead and eat. This might be the last time you get to eat this.” Eva felt much better after airing her thoughts. She was even in the mood to joke.

James fixed his intense gaze on the woman and felt increasingly frustrated. It was as if he had lost something that was his all along.

Eva passed a fork to the man and said, “Finish it as a favor to me. Our boss wants me to go to Hawen to train the new batch of employees, and the training will last two years. As that place is currently a restricted area, we won’t be able to contact anyone other than during the festive seasons. Previously, I was still unable to decide if I should go, but this is now the perfect opportunity for me to forget you.”

James took over the fork. Looking at the sumptuous food in the lunchbox, which had instantly become unappetizing, he started eating.

Just earlier, he had been telling Eva to get lost. However, now that she was finally going away, he found himself feeling even more uncomfortable. However, he tried to rationalize internally that it was because of the abrupt nature of the woman’s departure that resulted in his discomfort and that the feeling would be gone after a while. As such, he should be happy that he had finally gotten rid of a nuisance.

Soon, James finished all of the food in the lunch box.

Eva took the fork from him and cleaned up before saying, “I shan’t disturb you any further. I’m going off now. I’m not sure if we will see each other again after I leave for Hawen, so I shall give you my blessings in advance. I hope that you will find the woman of your dreams soon. From now on, I won’t be pestering you anymore.”

James looked at Eva with a complicated expression.

“What’s wrong? Are you missing me already? If you ask me to stay, I might change my mind and not leave,” Eva said with a cheeky wink.

Even though she sounded casual, she was, in fact, feeling extremely nervous. She was fervently hoping that James would suddenly realize his feelings for her and ask her not to go. However, that was obviously just her wishful thinking.

“Going to Hawen sounds like a good opportunity for you. I hope that you will find true love soon. We will be friends forever,” James said, pretending to be relieved.

The smile on Eva’s face faded slightly when she heard that.

“Sure. The next time you see me come looking for you is when I’ve found someone I want to marry. I’ll get going now.” Eva picked up the lunchbox and waved goodbye to James blithely before she quickly left his office.

As James stared at the woman’s departing figure, he could not help but feel an immense sense of emptiness in his heart. He was unable to make sense of the discomfort that he was feeling. However, he shook it off quickly, thinking that his mind was just playing tricks on him.

When Eva went back to the neighborhood where Amelia was staying, she returned the lunchbox, which she had already washed, to her cousin.

“Amelia, I intend on heading to Hawen to train the new batch of employees. I’ll be there for two years, but I’ll be back to visit you during my vacation time.”

“You’re going to Hawen? What about James…” Amelia asked, feeling slightly shocked.

“I’ve already laid it out with him at the hospital just now. He doesn’t love me and asked me to get lost. I don’t want him to end up hating me, so I’ve decided to let go and stop pestering him. I’ve been pursuing him for two years, but he still has not fallen in love with me. That means it’s impossible between us. I’ve already agreed to relocate to Hawen. Busying myself with work might help me forget James. After all, life still goes on without him,” Eva replied softly.

Amelia patted her cousin’s head and said, “I’m glad that you were able to come to a decision.”

“I already booked my air ticket on the way back just now. My flight is at five p.m. this evening, so I should leave now. I can get my daily necessities in Hawen when I’m there.”

“Eva, you don’t have to be in such a rush.”

“Amelia, I’m worried that I would change my mind if I don’t leave soon. It took me a lot of determination to decide to let him go. That’s why it’s better for me to leave as soon as possible.”

Hearing that, Amelia stopped talking.

She personally drove Eva to the airport. When they arrived, Eva hugged her cousin with tears in her eyes and said, “Amelia, take care of yourself. I’ve given you a lot of trouble in the past, but I’ve grown up now, and I’ll take care of myself. I’ll call you when I’m free.”

Amelia returned Eva’s hug, feeling reluctant to part with her cousin.

After one year apart, she realized that Eva had matured a lot, and it was the result of the woman’s unrequited love. Suddenly, she found herself missing the confident and quirky girl who was always dressed in punk fashion. However, that girl had disappeared forever.

Amelia sighed silently. Most people would mature with the passage of time. However, there would always be some who lived in a carefree manner regardless of their age. Those were the people who were well-protected from life’s harsh realities.
