Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 151

After Tiffany ended the call, Amelia asked, “Was that Shannon?”

Tiffany nodded.

Then, Amelia remarked, “It seems like those working as an editor are all but night owls. They work tirelessly just to get a book published.”

Tiffany stood up and stretched lazily. “Editor is a high-risk profession. They are at a higher risk of sudden cardiac death as they always need to work off-the-clock.”

Amelia shook her head in disagreement. She thought Tiffany was exaggerating it.

“Babe, go take your shower and then go to bed. It’s late now, and the baby needs some rest.”

Amelia complied as she entered Tiffany’s bedroom and took a new set of pajamas. Then, she took a warm shower in the washroom.

It was already half-past-three in the morning after their shower. As it was past their usual bedtime, they found it difficult to fall asleep.

Lying on the bed, Tiffany asked, “Babe, I’m not sleepy at all. What now?”

Amelia said, “I’m not sleepy as well.”

Tiffany turned to face Amelia. “Why don’t we have a chat?”

“About what?”

“Well, tell me what you think about Oscar. How do you feel about him?”

Amelia blinked her eyes, feeling confused. “What do I think about him?”

Tiffany asked cautiously, “Babe, I don’t mean to pry into your personal affairs nor was it my intention to rain on your parade. It’s just that Oscar is indecisive between you and Cassie. If—only if—he chooses Cassie in the end, what are you going to do?”

The smile on Amelia’s face gradually faded while her face grew serious as she mulled over Tiffany’s words.

Tiffany felt bad bringing up such a heavy topic in the middle of the night.

Without waiting for Amelia’s response, she shrugged her shoulders and decided to end the topic. “Babe, I’m feeling tired. Let’s sleep now.”

Amelia flashed her a relieved smile. “Tiff, I’m okay. We can talk about it. Well, I’ve actually thought of the worst that can happen between Oscar and me. Yet, I don’t want to be so pessimistic about our relationship because the future is full of uncertainty. After all, he has indirectly promised me that he will genuinely treat me as his wife.”

Tiffany couldn’t help feeling guilty for spoiling the mood. “Babe, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to dishearten you. I hope more than anyone else that you and Oscar can have a happy ending. Trust me! I really wish you, Oscar, and the baby can live happily together.”

Amelia found her reaction amusing. “Tiff, I know you’re just concerned about me. We are besties, after all. How can I not know what’s on your mind?”

replied, “Of course, that’s my genuine thought. For me, it’s too much to ask for love. As you know, the marriage between Oscar and I is a contract marriage.
