Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 903 Together Forever

Amelia glanced at Oscar before lowering her gaze. After a brief moment of contemplation, she looked up and said sincerely, “Mom, don’t worry. Oscar and I will work hard and make sure Nolan grows up in a stable and healthy environment. We won’t let anyone bully him. Oscar and I will be his parents from now on.”

A comforting smile appeared on Olivia’s face as she replied, “Amelia, it’s Oscar’s greatest blessing to have you as his wife. I know that you will take good care of Nolan. From now on, the boy has nothing to do with the Walker family. I also trust that both of you will keep the Walkers away from him.”

Amelia merely responded with a smile. Amelia had intended to leave with Tony and Nolan after she finished chatting with Olivia. However, as Olivia had nothing else to do for the next two days, she wanted the boys to stay with her so that she could spend some time with them.

As such, Amelia left the boys with her mother-in-law and drove home with Oscar. The moment they reached their apartment, they saw Tiffany sneezing non-stop while trying to avoid the huge bouquet of roses that Teddy was carrying. When Tiffany spotted Amelia, she dashed toward the woman immediately, as if her savior had just arrived.

“Teddy, please take your flowers away. I have officially stopped liking roses from now on. Can’t you see? I’m allergic to these flowers. So please let me off. Take it as I’m begging you,” Tiffany said while hiding behind Amelia. Teddy walked forward with his flowers and greeted Oscar before fixing his gaze on Tiffany with a smile on his face.

“Teddy, you should try to contain yourself. If you carry on being so aggressive in your pursuit, you might scare Tiff away, and she might even flee the city. If that happens, all your efforts would be in vain,” Amelia said.

Teddy shrugged and replied confidently, “There is a saying in Chanaea that goes, ‘A persistent pursuer will move even the staunchest of hearts.’ I believe that as long as I show her my sincerity, she will definitely fall in love with me.”

Amelia simply smiled and said nothing while Tiffany rolled her eyes. Teddy’s relentless pursuit was starting to annoy Tiffany. Oscar opened the door and invited the man inside.

“Amelia, how is it going? Have you gotten used to working at Royce Technologies?” Teddy asked casually after he sat down on the couch. “It’s going pretty well. Everyone is really pleasant to get along with,” Amelia answered.

Teddy nodded and said, “Royce had also mentioned that you are very efficient in your work and that you are a very talented designer. He thinks very highly of you and thanked me for getting him such a capable assistant. If you continue to perform well, you might even rise to the position of vice president within two years.”

Amelia brought over a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Teddy before sitting down across from him and next to Oscar on the couch.

“Teddy, I’m very happy to hear that. It’s definitely my honor to work for Mr. Royce. I’ve learned a lot from him,” she replied.

After exchanging pleasantries, Amelia changed the subject.

“Teddy, did you come to Chanaea for business or for your private matters? I don’t think there’s anything major at the company that requires your presence here,” Amelia said after casting a glance at Tiffany.

Teddy was seated in a graceful manner with his hands folded across his lap.

“I’m on a two-month business trip here. At the same time, I will also be pursuing my happiness. However, I don’t intend to go back before my sweetheart accepts me,” Teddy said, glancing at Tiffany.

Tiffany pretended not to understand what the man was talking about.

Just when Amelia was about to speak, someone knocked on the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Derrick standing outside. Suddenly, Amelia’s head started throbbing. What’s going on? Why is everyone here at the same time?

“Amelia, my subordinate just gave me some king crabs. I heard that Tony loves seafood, so I’ve specially delivered some over,” Derrick said as he raised the bag in his hand.

Amelia felt slightly speechless when she saw the bag that the man was holding.

Well, I have to give it up to him for coming up with such an idea.

“Come in.” Amelia stood aside for Derrick to enter the apartment.

Derrick took a subtle glance at Tiffany as he walked inside.

Amelia took the crabs from Derrick and went into the kitchen. When Tiffany saw that, she stood up and followed Amelia.

“Did you ask him to come?” Tiffany asked while leaning against the wall.

Amelia proceeded to empty the crabs into a bowl. Each of them was huge and fresh. One look and one could imagine how delicious they would taste.

“Why would I ask him to come over? It’s more likely that he had his men follow you and came here after knowing that you are here,” Amelia said.

Tiffany grimaced when she heard that and could hardly believe how “lucky” she was in love. She could hardly handle one admirer, not to mention two of them.

“Babe, can you help me chase them away? Please?” Tiffany tipped her chin toward where the two men were and asked sweetly.

After putting the crabs away, Amelia looked at Tiffany with a serious expression and replied, “Tiff, tell me honestly, do you still have any feelings for Derrick?”

Tiffany froze for a moment before looking at Amelia with a complicated expression. A moment later, she retracted her gaze and said with a slight stutter, “W-what feelings? It’s already over between us. It’s been over since I made the decision to go overseas. So please don’t try to matchmake us. I don’t like that.”

Amelia looked at her friend and said, “Since you no longer care about him, why are you so scared of him?”

“Who says I’m scared of him? I’m not scared. It just feels kinda awkward. I’m not at the stage where I can be friends with him and pretend that nothing had happened,” Tiffany said with a huff and gave a dismissive wave.
