Too Much to Bear My Love

I have never seen one who is so ridiculous and unreasonable. A relationship should be out of free will. If you want to add a label to it, you’ll turn it into a business.

Amelia said, “Ms. Larson, you might as well calm down and have a good talk with Mr. Scott. Your hysterical yelling won’t help. You are a smart woman with strong working ability, so you should know that pressing hard against men will only bore them. It’s better to calm down and talk nicely, isn’t it?”

Jennifer glanced at Amelia reluctantly. She knew she had no choice but to accept her advice.

Jennifer took a deep breath. “Carter, sorry, I overreacted just now. I will go back to the company first, and we will go back to your house in the evening. Anyway, I think you should discuss these matters with your parents first. Would you please not call off at the last minute when the engagement preparation is ready? That would be disrespectful to both of our families, and it will also discredit my reputation.”

Carter nodded. “I will go back with you tonight.”

Jennifer glanced at him with complex emotions, turned back to the car without hesitation, and drove away.

Carter seemed exhausted, but he was gentle as usual when facing Amelia.

“Amelia, I’m sorry. Did I scare you just now?” he said apologetically.

Amelia shook her head and expressed, “Carter, I think Jennifer is serious about you. If you are not into her, it is better to cut off with her fast completely. She has strong self-esteem and was doted upon by everyone around her ever since she was born. I’m afraid she cannot accept being rejected by anyone. Her feelings towards you are likely not out of true love but of a desire to have you fall for her. You have to handle it wisely.”

Carter just smiled. “Don’t worry about me. She is just a little bit stubborn because her family spoils her. I will solve it, but she is making things difficult for you. I feel guilty about this.”

Amelia comforted him. “She is mean with her words, but that’s not really harmful to me. She is serious about you. That’s the truth. If you don’t deal with it properly, with her stubborn temper, I’m afraid it will be disadvantageous to you.”

Carter grinned gently. “Why, do you care about me?”

Amelia shook her head, amused, and walked toward the supermarket across the street while adding, “Carter, I am very grateful for you to take care of me, but I already have a husband, and I don’t want him to misunderstand. Plus, I don’t want to be stuck between you and Ms. Larson.”

Carter’s eyes clouded over, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile. “Amelia, as long as you are not divorced, I am just a friend. When you do get divorced, I hope you can leave a place in your heart for me. Don’t conclude too harshly. At least give me a chance, then you can decide if I am the right man to spend the rest of your life with.”

Amelia glanced at him and sighed. “Am I worth it?”

Carter shrugged. “I gave up on you four years ago, and I have been regretting that decision. When you contacted me on WhatsApp some time ago, I was so excited that I barely got any sleep, and I woke up every morning with a smile on my face. I think God gave me a second chance, so don’t reject me, please?”
