Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 662 Better To Sort Out Your Own Feelings

Carter stood outside the Larson residence, where he remained until all the lights inside the house went out.

As he drove, his thoughts were all over the place as he questioned his own feelings toward Jennifer. When he saw what a difficult time Jennifer was having outside the bar, it surprisingly wrenched at him in a way that left him quite confounded.

The thought of Jennifer’s aloofness toward him also threw his heart into disarray. By the time he came back to his senses, he fortuitously spotted a dog dashing across his path not too far ahead. In a moment of panic, he turned the steering wheel, and with a protracted screech, the car was spun around until it came to a complete halt.

Taking a moment to catch his breath, Carter was finally able to settle his nerves.

He leaned his forehead against the steering wheel in a cold sweat and rested there for quite some time before he restarted the engine.

Back home, he took a hot bath. Afterward, he poured himself some wine and stood by the window that overlooked the sights and sounds beyond.

He appeared distant, though it was less obvious what was going through his mind.

It was the solitude of the night that usually made one especially contemplative.

The very next day, he received a call from Faye summoning him over.

He drove home with pace and stepped inside the hall before greeting, “Mom.”

Faye was pouring some coffee into a cup with sublime elegance. When she saw him coming in, she pointed at a couch at the side. “Sit.”

Naturally, Carter did as she asked.

Placing one of the cups of coffee in front of him, Faye said, “Give it a try and let me know whether my skills have improved.”

Sampling a mouthful, Carter replied, “There’s sweetness amidst the bitter notes and a good mouthfeel. Not bad.”

“Glad you liked it.”

Placing the cup down, Carter said, “Go ahead, Mom. Why have you asked me to come over today?”
