Chapter 899 An Internal Feud
Kate shot Tiffany a conciliatory smile. Then, she lowered her pride and practically begged, “Tiff, please accept my sincerest apologies. I’ve given the matter much thought over the past year, and I’ve realized I must shoulder part of the blame for the end of Derrick and Crystal’s relationship. That’s why I’ll no longer object if you and Derrick reconcile. Please forgive me and give him another chance.”
Tiffany stiffened in surprise, though she was quickly amused by the older lady’s words. She replied civilly, “Thank you for your generosity, Mrs. Hisson, but Derrick and I have been divorced for a year. We’ve never reconnected since then, and I’m just trying to get on with my life after the split. There’s nothing to forgive, Mrs. Hisson. That’s all I have to say. I hope you and Mr. Hisson live a long and healthy life.”
Considering her numerous conflicts with Kate in the past, it was already a feat that Tiffany managed to maintain a courteous tone with her former mother-in-law. Kate opened her mouth as though to say something, but Derrick deliberately coughed to catch her attention. She glanced at him and swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.
Tiffany also glanced at Derrick. She clearly sensed that Kate was somewhat fearful of her son. She had no idea what had happened in the past year, but the power dynamics in the family had obviously shifted, and Kate was no longer as overbearing as she remembered.
She did have a guess, though. Perhaps it’s because Derrick is formally the head of the Hisson family now. Not that it mattered to her now.
The uncomfortable meal eventually came to an end. Tiffany declared politely, “Mr. and Mrs. Hisson, thank you for inviting us to a meal today. I’ve got a manuscript to rush, so I shan’t take up more of your time.”
Before Kate could say a word, Derrick piped up, “Don’t worry about it. Your manuscript is more important. But make sure you take it slow sometimes. Don’t forget to eat and rest while you’re rushing your manuscript. You look as though you’ve lost some weight, so don’t skip any more meals.”
Tiffany glanced at her ex-husband and gave him a slight nod.
Then, Derrick firmly dragged his parents away from the restaurant. Tiffany stared at his back, something akin to admiration flashing through her gaze.
“Tiff, he’s gone. Stop staring.” Amelia even nudged her friend for good measure.
Only then did Tiffany retract her gaze and smile at Amelia.
Amelia had already turned to Teddy and asked, “Have you booked a hotel, Teddy? Should I get Oscar to arrange a place for you to stay?”
“I asked my assistant to get me a room at a hotel I always stay at when I’m in Chanaea. I’ll head over there in a bit. You can go meet your love Oscar now, Amelia. Let Tiff and I have some alone time. Won’t you take pity on my depressingly single life?” Teddy shrugged as he replied jauntily to Amelia’s question.
Tiffany shot Amelia a look that warned her against leaving them alone.
Amelia immediately said to Teddy, “Alas, I think your wish isn’t happening tonight. Tiff is rushing out a script for an office drama, so please forgive her absence tonight. Oscar and I will clear our schedules tomorrow and be your dedicated tour guide.”
Teddy glanced at Tiffany. Then, as though remembering something, he swiftly agreed to Amelia’s suggestion.
“Get some rest then, Tiff. If you’re free in a couple of days, then I’d love to have you show me around. Don’t worry; I won’t try anything funny. Please don’t treat me like some predator. I’m a bona fide gentleman.”
Tiffany mustered a smile in response.
A moment later, Oscar sent someone to drive Teddy to his hotel. Tiffany was visibly relieved when the car left.
Amelia turned to her husband and said, “Wait for me in the car, Oscar. I need to talk to Tiff.”
Oscar wrapped his hand around her nape and pulled her in for a forehead kiss before getting into his car.
The lovebirds’ public display of affection had Tiffany cringing dramatically in response. She smirked at Amelia and complained, “You’re really rubbing it in, huh.”
Amelia merely stared at her friend quietly.
