Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 814

It was as though Kate's personality had changed overnight. She brought Tiffany shopping every day, from one shop to another. In fact, she even told Tiffany to try out new clothes. Tiffany had been trying to finish her draft during the night, yet she had to deal with the torture Kate was imposing on her the next day with the shopping. Because of that, she soon became sleep deprived. Derrick's heart ached when he saw that, so he tried to convince his mother to stop doing that. To his surprise, Kate retorted, "When I treated her meanly, all of you thought I was being far too strict. Now that I'm trying to repair our relationship, you all think I'm intentionally making things difficult for her. What exactly do you want me to do, Derrick?”

For a moment, he was at a loss for words. Then he said, "Tiff has been staying up all night trying to rush her draft to completion for the past few days, Mom. She needs more sleep."

Kate sneered, "You think I'm intentionally making things difficult for her, aren't you, Derrick?”

That prompted him to sigh. "Mom...'

“Fine, since you think I have an ulterior motive for doing this, then maybe I should just intentionally make her life more difficult." "That's not what I mean, Mom. Fine, just do whatever you want."

Only then did she smile satisfactorily.

The next day, Kate brought Tiffany to shopping as usual.

Their shopping spree lasted for three days. If Crystal hadn't invited Kate for a meetup, Tiffany probably wouldn't have been able to escape the torture.

Amelia smiled and gave Tiffany, who was slumped on the table like a fish out of water, a cup of coffee. "What's wrong? Why do you look so tired?”

Without saying a word, Tiffany waved her hand lethargically as she sat next to her friend.

She played dead for a few minutes before raising her head.

Seeing the black bags under her friend's eyes, Amelia furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "You didn't sleep well?"

Tiffany drank the coffee and smiled bitterly. "Don't bring it up. I don't know what's gotten into my mother-in-law these days. It's as though her personality suddenly changed. She brought me shopping every day. Now, whenever I see a fashion boutique, I'd feel ill. She really does hate me to the bone. Why would she come up with new ways to torture me otherwise? But she's my elder, so I can't scold her or do anything to her."

Amelia's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

In a single motion, Tiffany emptied the cup of coffee.

"Babe, is there any food for me to eat?” The bitter smile was still present on her face.

"Molly made some pastry. I'll bring them out from the kitchen." Amelia stood up and did precisely that.

When the food arrived, Tiffany dug in as though she was a refugee who hadn't eaten anything for years.

Amelia gently patted her back. "Slow down, Tiff.'

The moment she said that, Tiffany began to cough violently.

In response, Amelia poured her a cup of water and spoke resignedly. "Look at what you've done to yourself. If people don't know any better, they'll think you're going through a rough patch in your life when all you did was get married."

I'm feeling a little bored. My mother- in-law's attitude changes every day. In one second, she'll berate me. In another, she'll shower me with love. I suspect that she has a split personality. If this goes on, I think I'm going to end up losing
