Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 624 To Forgive

Amelia asked Tony to play with Oscar and called Eva into her bedroom.

Casually, Eva asked, “Amelia, don’t tell me you’re going to reveal some of Oscar’s deepest secrets.”

“Eva! Now, tell me how things between you and James are.” Amelia was dead serious with her interrogation.

That took Eva aback. “I don’t get what you’re trying to ask.” She and James were never in a relationship. To prove that further, James dumped the food that took her two hours to prepare into the trash can.

“Eva, I can tell what’s happening, you know?”

“Amelia, if that was the case, why are you asking me? Does it amuse you to see me mortified?” Eva angrily pressed her lips together.

“Eva, from the way you and James interacted, I could tell that James was trying to push you away. I’m not against you chasing after happiness, but I can’t agree with the way you did it so forcefully. As a girl, I think it’d be better for you to be more reserved.” Amelia gave her honest opinion on the matter.

“Amelia, you could just tell me straight that James isn’t into me.” Eva felt defeated.

“If you could tell that he doesn’t fancy you, why are you still fluttering around him like a butterfly?”

“It was love at first sight, and it took me a lot to finally decide to go after him. Don’t be deceived by my over-friendliness with him. Honestly, I’m really scared to sense any contempt from him. The only way for me to appear strong and confident in front of him was to act the part.” Eva finally laid her armor down.

Amelia stroked her head and consoled her. “Eva, if you really wanted to be with him so badly, you should start by working on your appearance. James is very smart and capable, and it’s only natural for him to have high expectations of his partner. That’s why you will need to have a full makeover. What do you think?”

Eva looked down at the clothes she was wearing but didn’t see anything wrong with it. As for her hair, she quite liked the way it was styled.

“Amelia, don’t you think this hairstyle is pretty cool?”

“It is, but to me, it looks like you went for the cheapest haircut in a salon. It’s lacking finesse and makes you look like a delinquent. If I were James, I would never be attracted to you.” Amelia was brutally honest with her remarks and almost killed her cousin with words on the spot.

“Are you really my cousin, Amelia?”

“Only a real family won’t sugarcoat her words. I’ve always thought you were just fooling around with James, so I didn’t nose around. However, now that I know that you’re serious about this, I have to treat it seriously too. If you trust me, let me give you a full makeover from head to toe. If you don’t, I’ll stay out of it.”

“I trust you.” Eva didn’t hesitate.

“Very well then. First things first, we are going to dye your hair back into its original color now.”

“Now?”

“We have no time to waste. Hold on a second, are you trying to say that you like this nest-looking bleached hair?”

Eva wanted to say yes, but when she thought of the possibility of James falling for her new image, she relented.

After that, Amelia took Eva downstairs and gave Oscar a kiss on the lips. “I’m going to the salon to have Eva’s hair dyed. Can you take care of Tony?”

Ignoring Eva and Tony, Oscar wrapped his hands around the back of the head of his wife and carried on with the kissing.

When he was done, Amelia was blushing uncontrollably.

Eva’s jaw dropped when she saw that. “Good job, Oscar!” she whistled.

“You’re a Big Meanie! How could you bully Mommy!”

Eva flicked her finger on Tony’s forehead and educated him. “Tony, we don’t call this bullying. It’s called the kiss of love. When you have a wife in the future, kiss her like that, and she’ll be loving and loyal to you forever.”

Amelia gave Eva a sidelong glance. “There you go again with your nonsense, Eva.”

Eva immediately shut her mouth.

After that, Amelia drove Eva to a hair salon where the former regularly patronized.

The moment they stepped into the salon, A fair, slender, and tall man dressed in the latest fashion walked toward them in a feminine way.
