Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 827 Without Anything

Jennifer looked at the group of five foreign men in front of her and asked, “Are you all retired foreign special forces?” “Ms. Larson, we’re all special forces members who retired in the year 2008,” one solemnly said.

The retired special forces members were all embarrassed after getting easily defeated by Oscar’s bodyguards. Thus, even though they were not too willing to assist a woman per June’s order, the very thought of how they would be able to avenge themselves by catching that child made them ignore their unwillingness.

“Very well. I’ll leave this to you guys then,” Jennifer said to them. “No problem, Ms. Larson. It’s our duty.”

Jennifer had personally made arrangements for accommodation for them. “You’ll be staying here for the time being. I’ll inform you when the opportunity arises.” The retired special forces members had no objections to that.

After settling the group of men, Jennifer drove to the neighborhood where Amelia was staying in. Coincidentally, she saw Tiffany out with Tony, and Amelia and Oscar were not with them.

At that, Jennifer slowly drove over and saw Tiffany taking Tony to the nearby park. Jennifer then got out of her car to follow them before pretending to bump into them by accident.

Upon seeing Jennifer, Tiffany swiftly shielded Tony and said, “What a coincidence to see you here even though it’s not a weekend, Ms. Larson.”

In other words, Tiffany was saying that only a fool would believe it was a coincidence for Jennifer to bump into them in a park near Amelia’s neighborhood on a weekday.

Nevertheless, Jennifer pretended not to understand what Tiffany was implying and took off her glasses. After a glance at Tony, she said, “Ms. Winters, it must be fate that let us meet here. If you don’t mind, let’s talk as we walk.”

Tiffany swiftly lifted Tony into her arms and rejected, “Sorry, but I’m not close to you, so I’m afraid there’s nothing we can talk about. Tony must be hungry by now, so I’m going to take him to eat.”

Jennifer hurried over to her and smiled. “Ms. Winters, I don’t recall ever crossing you. I wonder why you’re so hostile toward me.”

At that, a tinge of impatience flashed past Tiffany’s eyes. She was already frustrated about how she and Derrick had recently done the divorce procedures. If Amelia didn’t insist that she bring Tony out for a walk and take a breather, she would have locked herself up in her house. What she wanted to avoid the most at that moment was talking to pretentious people, especially those from the Larson family. She knew that Jennifer’s relationship with Derrick was quite close, so she did not want to see Jennifer at all. Regardless of why Jennifer had appeared there, Tiffany was in no mood to speak to her.

“You didn’t cross me; I just don’t want to talk to you right now.” With that, Tiffany began walking back down the path she came from with Tony in her arms.

Behind her, Jennifer casually mentioned, “Ms. Winters, I know that you’ve signed the divorce agreement with Derrick. Don’t you want to know how he is lately?”

Hearing that, Tiffany halted in her tracks. In the next second, she dashed off so quickly it was as if a panther was after her.

The look in Jennifer’s eyes turned cold at that, and she sneered.

Tiffany, it seems like you still have feelings for Derrick. That’s good. I’ll be able to get close to you in Derrick’s name. That way, I’m sure I’ll be able to kidnap Anthony. This time, I have to let Amelia and Oscar feel what it’s like to have their son be in trouble. I’ll let them know what it’s like to feel pain!

When Amelia saw that Tiffany was back so soon with Tony, she tilted her head to the side and asked, “Tiff, why are you back?”

However, Tiffany, who had a grim look on her face, only glanced at Tiffany wordlessly.

Tony said, “Mommy, Tiffy met a lady in the park who didn’t get along with you—one of the Larsons. She deliberately tried to get close to Tiffy, but she kept glancing at me. I hate the way she looked at me.”

Tony was young, so his heart was pure. Thus, he was sensitive to people’s good or bad intentions.

Upon hearing his explanation, Amelia instantly realized who he was talking about. Who could it be but Jennifer Larson? But why did she show up here?

Recalling Carter’s reminder, Amelia ascertained that she had to be a little warier from now on. Furthermore, with how Tony said that Jennifer kept looking at him, Amelia felt that Jennifer must have an ulterior motive to have appeared in this area on a weekday.

With a frown, she asked, “Tiff, why was Jennifer in the park?”

Tiffany shook her head and said, “I don’t know.” A pause later, she added, “She knows Derrick. When I was bringing Tony back, she mentioned his name, so I was thinking that Derrick might have sent her.”

Despite saying so, Tiffany knew that it was unlikely for Derrick to send Jennifer to convey his message; he was not that kind of person. However, she could not wrap her mind around what other reason could explain Jennifer’s sudden appearance.

Amelia, too, had no choice but to believe in that.

“Tony, go upstairs to play first. Tiffy and I will take you to the theme park to play in the afternoon,” Amelia said, intentionally dismissing Tony.

Tony nodded obediently and ran upstairs.

Once he was gone, Amelia sat down beside Tiffany and said, “Tiff, I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to stay in the house all day. I received a call from the director about the script last night, so why don’t you write the script instead? You can’t go back on your promise, right?”

Tiffany held her head with both hands and chuckled bitterly, “Babe, will you believe me if I were to tell you that my mind’s blank and my well of inspiration has dried out?”
