Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 162 The Atmosphere Is Just Right

Even after they hung up, Amelia’s smile did not fade. She looked like a young girl in love, giggling to herself from time to time.

Tiffany shivered, looking as if she could not stand the scene in front of her. “Wipe your mouth. Your saliva is dripping everywhere.”

Amelia then actually lifted her hand to the corner of her mouth. Tiffany was dumbfounded. Women in love were scary. One moment, she would be sensible and calm. The next, it was as if she was out of her mind.

“Babe, there’s no cure for you anymore. All it takes is one call from Oscar and you’re acting as if you’ve lost your mind. I’m sure you’re better than this.”

Amelia placed her phone down, then smiled faintly. “I haven’t seen him in a few days. I miss him. My baby misses Daddy too.”

Tiffany looked at her in disbelief. She did not think Amelia could come up with such a lame excuse.

“Do you want me to send you home, or do you want to go over to my place first?”

“Send me home. I need to go to the farmer’s market. He’s coming back, so I want to buy some ingredients and cook a nice meal for him.”

Tiffany glanced at Amelia’s belly in disapproval.

“Isn’t Molly home? Just give her a call and get her to do it. What’s the use of having a housekeeper if the owner needs to do everything by herself? You treat your housekeeper too well, giving her a higher salary than others, but also letting her do less work than she should. You’re letting her take advantage of you.”

Amelia looked at her, stunned. “Tiff, stop blaming Molly. I’m the one who wants to spend time alone with Oscar. Besides, her salary is paid by the Clintons. Even if she doesn’t come over to work here, she’s working back at Clinton Residence. She’s definitely not working less than others.”

As Tiffany drove, she said, “Fine. I know you have a good relationship with Molly. I only said one thing but you’re already defending her so much. If I say anything else I’m afraid you’ll actually start attacking me.”

Amelia was stupefied. She did not know why Tiffany was picking a fight with the housekeeper.

However, Tiffany was simply acting angry on purpose. She smiled and continued, “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. I’ll come along and give you a hand.”

Amelia leaned back on the passenger seat and smiled to herself.

As Tiffany was familiar with the roads, they had a smooth drive to the farmer’s market. She parked the car, got off, and moved to stand beside Amelia. She remained protective of her as they walked, fearful of someone accidentally bumping into Amelia.

Seeing how cautious Tiffany was being, Amelia felt warmth in her heart although she was also a little bewildered. “Tiff, relax. There’s no need to be so careful of others. I’m just pregnant, not dealing with cancer.”

Tiffany glanced at her and tutted. “Babe, can you say something more positive? Don’t joke about such things.”

Amelia waved in apology. “Okay, sorry. I was wrong. Don’t be angry, okay?”

Tiffany really did not know how else to handle her.

The vendors in the farmer’s market were all familiar with Amelia and were greeting her enthusiastically as the pair walked by.
