Too Much to Bear My Love

“Granddad, I respect you so much. I didn’t expect you…” Carter clenched his fists. His voice sounded slightly hurt.”

Abel sighed, “Carter, you are almost thirty. Your granddad is already old. Since your other relatives don’t possess your talents, you will inherit the entire Scott family. So your marriage can only be an arranged marriage. Choose the right wife, and she can take your career to the next level.”

“Granddad, I am capable of growing our business by myself. I don’t need a princess of a lady to be the icing on the cake. If you trust me, you won’t force me like this.”

After a pause, he continued, “Granddad, I didn’t come here today to fight with you and Mom. I want to let you know that if you want me to get married, you shouldn’t get involved in my marriage.”

After finishing speaking, he left firmly without looking back.

“Carter, come back here now.” Mrs. Scott roared savagely.

“Stop calling him. Let him leave.” Abel waved his hand and murmured.

Mrs. Scott complained, “Dad, this boy is getting out of his way. If you continue to indulge him like this, not only me, but I’m afraid he won’t even listen to you.”

Abel chuckled profoundly. “He has the same style as me during the old days. He looks gentle but is stubborn in his bones. Don’t worry about it. I believe he will be able to handle his work and relationship well. Since he doesn’t like the daughter of the Larsons, let it be then. There are many wealthy young ladies out there. It doesn’t have to be that Larson girl.”

Mrs. Scott tried hard to control the rage inside her. “I had made an agreement with the Larsons, and they had come back all the way from overseas just for this marital alliance. You want me to tell them that our boy has someone else in his heart and ask them to go back?”

“You caused this, so you should be the one to solve it.” Abel stood up. “I’m sleepy. Good night. You can solve the Larson’s affairs by yourself.”

He went upstairs right away, leaving Mrs. Scott alone on the sofa, stunned with confusion.

After Carter left the house, he drove like crazy on the road. He sped through several red lights and approached the riverside.

He shouldered down a box of beer he had bought on the road and sat solely by the river. He started to drink one bottle of them desperately. Gazing at the sparkling river surface under the moonlight, he could taste the bitterness of the beer.

Perhaps one was more likely to get drunk when in sorrow. Carter felt a little tipsy after only a few bottles of beer. He wanted to call the woman he loved.

He fished for his mobile phone and looked through his contacts. His finger froze on the contact name My Love. He hesitated for a long time but did not call her. Instead, he dialed Tiffany’s number.

The phone got through, and Tiffany’s sleepy and irritable voice traveled out of the speaker. “You better have something important. Otherwise, I will kill you for waking me from my beauty sleep.”

Hearing that, Carter’s fretful emotion seemed to fade a little.

“Tiffany, was Amelia having a hard time back then?” Carter’s voice was slightly drunk.

Tiffany yelled dryly on the phone and thundered, “Carter, you are a jinx. Are you calling in the middle of the night to ask such a tedious question? If there is nothing else, I will hang up.”

“Don’t hang up. I’m upset. Can you chat with me?”
