Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 335

Chapter 335 Making His Move

Having stayed over for four days, Derrick was prepared to return home. “I’m going to head back, Tiff,” he said after breakfast while he wiped his lips with a napkin.

The silverware stiffened between Tiffany’s fingers when she heard that. All of a sudden, the previously enjoyable breakfast she was having had lost its appeal.

Emotions rushed up inside her like a tidal wave while she looked toward Derrick. The more time they spent dating, the more she became like other women who were in love, demonstrating a reluctance to be apart from the man she loved.

 

“So soon?” The expression of longing that might be commonplace elsewhere was a bit of an anomaly when it evoked on Tiffany’s face.

“The company has negotiations for two more television adaptations that I’d be handling, so I have to get back earlier to make preparations. Take care of yourself when I’m not around. Remember to eat on time and don’t skip your meals just because you’re rushing a manuscript. Also, the adaptation rights to your previous novel have been firmed up, and we’ll be getting the top stars in the country to take up the male and female lead roles. Shooting will commence in six months, and once that has wrapped up, I’ll be turning my focus to marketing. Rest assured that your fame will only grow once the production airs, and you, my girlfriend, can surely consider yourself amongst the finest writers by then.”

Though those words did not count as sweet nothings, they were more than music to her ears.

A discernible hot flush washed over Tiffany’s cheeks as she moved to remind him, “Have a safe flight and remember to call when you arrive. Know to balance things and don’t push yourself too hard. Have your meals with regularity. Also, do call me whenever you can find the time.”

Tiffany rambled a bunch, but Derrick was all smiles as he listened. He did not express any overt aversion to it even though what she said was largely irrelevant.

Only after they were done being lovey-dovey did Derrick regard Amelia in earnest. “Tiff, Amelia, Oscar has already found his way to my villa in Beshya. I think he may be onto me, so it may no longer be convenient for me to come back here. Both of you have to be careful, and be sure to call Jeremy should you ever need anything. He has worked at the Hissons for decades now and has proven himself smart and capable. On top of that, his extensive connections throughout Beshya means he should be a tremendous asset to you.”

 

That left those at the dining table with mixed feelings as made visible on their troubled faces, with Amelia feeling especially guilty because of the numerous sacrifices Tiffany had to make on her account.

“Why don’t you follow Derrick back, Tiff? I think Oscar will be too preoccupied to question why you’ve returned if you go back quietly. Should he ever run into you, you can tell him that we’ve already fallen out and that you have no idea where I’ve taken Tony. With Derrick’s protection, he shouldn’t be able to do anything to you.” After some consideration, Amelia proposed what she thought would be the most ideal solution to their predicament.

Whatever traces of the wistfulness that might be present within Tiffany’s heart immediately dissipated when she heard what Amelia said.

She became slightly somber. “What’s that supposed to mean, Babe? Are you trying to chase me away?”

Amelia was nonplussed. “You know that I don’t mean it that way, Tiff. It’s so hard for Derrick and you to finally come together, and time is what you need at this very moment to foster your relationship. There’s no need for you to whittle your days away here with a blind bat like me. Besides, you can’t possibly be by my side all the time as you’ll eventually have to get married and start a family of your own.”
