Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 140

Chapter 140 An Affair

Smiling, Tiffany said, “Babe, I hope you’ll stay happy and well being Mrs. Clinton.”

Amelia’s gleeful expression disappeared and was replaced with a tinge of exhaustion. Leaning back on the passenger seat, she murmured, “Oscar is entangled between Cassie and me. On one hand, he’s enjoying sweet moments with her while he’s also giving me unrealistic promises. I don’t know which side of him to trust. Sometimes, I hate the playboy in him. Yet, most of the time, I hate the fact that I am not upholding the principles of my own beliefs. I’ve stooped so low…”

Tiffany felt so sorry for Amelia.

Tightening her grip on the steering wheel, she advised the latter, “Babe, divorce him if you’re no longer feeling happy in this marriage. Considering how long you guys have been together, I think Oscar won’t demand a hundred million from you for breaching the contract, will he?”

Shutting her eyes, Amelia forced out a stiff smile.

Tiffany took a quick glance at her. As an outsider, I’m not in any position to pass remarks on their marriage. If it’s so easy to cut off ties with a person, especially one whose life is closely intertwined with yours, there won’t be so many couples locked in bitter battles.

“Babe, if you don’t want to leave him, then stay and work hard to capture his heart,” Tiffany suggested.

Heaving a sigh, Amelia said disappointingly, “It’s very challenging to read his mind. We’ve been married for five years, but I still have no clue what he’s thinking half of the time. Generally speaking, he treats me well and does show affection at times. However, I can’t tell if he still has any feelings for me.”

Tiffany chuckled. “Babe, one thing I don’t like about you is how you’d falter back and forth before making a decision. From my point of view, what’s there to be afraid of? It’s no big deal even if you fail in the end. Most importantly, you’ve worked on it and have no regrets for yourself.”

Amelia tried to shake the thought away. “Let’s not talk about him anymore. I don’t plan to go home tonight. I’ll stay at your apartment.”

Tiffany felt so helpless. “You know what? Since the day you married Oscar, I’ve lost count the times you stayed over at my place.”

Looking completely nonplussed, Amelia replied, “Well, you always turn into a nocturnal creature when you try to meet deadlines at work. You even barred me from visiting you if I had nothing urgent.”

Batting her eyelids, Tiffany defended herself, “Babe, don’t put the blame on me. Haven’t I been welcoming you with open arms and serving you the best cuisines when you sleep over at my place? I’m so hurt by your words.”

As the atmosphere started to liven up, Amelia became more relaxed.

After a moment of silence, her topic revolved around Derrick again. “Tiff, I do think that Derrick is serious about you. How do you feel about him? Would you consider going out with him?”

Tiffany paused. The question had removed the twinkle in her eye. “Babe, why are you talking about him again? He’s my boss, the one who feeds me, and there’s no other possibility between us. Although I’m a renowned author, I’m just a small fry compared to his family. My salary per annum is not even comparable to what they earn in a day. Do you think that they will accept a daughter-in-law like me?”

Amelia fell silent.
