Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Like A Fool

On one side, there was Gary mourning for his doomed affections. On the other side, Tiffany was driving her car, watching the road through the windscreen. “Babe, where are we going?” she asked Amelia.

Amelia was resting on the passenger seat with her eyes closed. “Let’s go to the hospital,” she replied softly.

“To see Carter?”

Amelia nodded.

Tiffany glanced at her and said, “Babe, don’t you think you’ve been waiting on him hand and foot?”

Amelia sighed. “Tiff, no matter what, we are still friends. How can I heartlessly cut off all contact with him now?”

“You shouldn’t have had any contact with him from the start,” Tiffany answered solemnly. “Five years ago, ever since he vanished and abandoned you, I’d already said the two of you weren’t compatible. How could a responsible man leave the woman he loves dearly alone when she needs him the most?”

Amelia fluttered her eyes open and glanced at Tiffany from the side. “Tiff, that matter’s history. Moreover, we were merely friends at that time. Although we had feelings for each other, we were too cowardly to strive for what we wanted. Carter was the right person at the wrong time. I married someone else because we weren’t meant to be together. Back then, there was simply no chance he could go against his family. He left due to his own family issues. So, you have to stop excoriating him for the past. Indeed, once upon a time, I’d blamed him. But I’ve completely moved on from it. I understand you’re trying to stand up for me, but we can’t push all the blame onto him. It’s not fair for Carter, for we had only been friends from the beginning.”

Tiffany curled her lips. “Babe, you have a big heart. Sure, I can forget about Carter Scott being a coward in the past, but don’t expect me to be nice to him. It was never a good idea for you to reconnect with him, to begin with. Some people are meant to be left in the past where they belong.”

Amelia could only smile wryly.

Tapping a rhythm on the steering wheel, Tiffany continued, “Be honest with me. Do you still have feelings for Carter or not?”

Amelia was nonplussed. “What are you talking about? We’re just friends.”

“You keep saying that, but you obviously know how he feels for you. If you don’t feel the same, then stop leading him on. You’re only giving him false hopes this way. Do you want to ruin your marriage with Oscar over him?”

Amelia chuckled humorlessly. “Tiff, you know better than anyone that the marriage between Oscar and I is merely a puppet show. My feelings for Carter mean nothing to Oscar. As soon as he says ‘cut,’ then that’s the end of it. He’s the puppet master, while I’m the puppet who’s being pulled by the strings.”

Tiffany slapped the steering wheel in agitation. “You shouldn’t have been born with this beauty. It’s a curse. Maybe if you looked a little more mediocre, your love life wouldn’t have been such a tragedy.”
