Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 438 First Day At Work

Amelia was busy entertaining Eva for the entire weekend and James was not any better as well. Eva would often behave out of the norm, causing him to fluster and keep his distance from her.

He waited for Eva to return to her place before talking to Amelia on Sunday night. “Amelia, can you ask your cousin to be more rational? I’m actually pretty conservative despite being a foreigner, and I want a virtuous and quiet wife. You should know that I’m afraid of overly enthusiastic girls. Can you try to talk some sense into her?”

If other women dared to pester him like that, he would have a way to deal with them. However, Eva was Amelia’s cousin. If he were too harsh on her, things might turn out awkward between Oscar and him.

Amelia smiled apologetically and promised, “I’ll try to talk to her. I just met her too, so I don’t know her very well. Hence, I can’t be too harsh on her.”

“It’s okay. Actually, I really enjoy being pursued by girls,” replied James insincerely with a glum face.

Seeing his expression, Amelia could not help but let out a chuckle.

“James, didn’t you say that you want a Chanaean girlfriend? You might as well accept my cousin. She should look fine if she dresses up properly.” As she spoke, she showed him a photo on her phone and continued, “Look, this is my cousin when she has light makeup on. I think she’ll be a good wife. What do you think?”

He shot her a suspicious glance and uttered, “Amelia, how could this be your cousin?” Once he thought of Eva’s yellow hair and heavy makeup, his head throbbed.

In an instant, Amelia was at a loss for words. Truth be told, she did not quite believe the girl in the photo was Eva as well. They looked totally different.

“Amelia, I’m taking my leave now. I don’t want to disturb you and Oscar.” Then, James left.

Amelia was nonplussed and closed the door behind him. Since she had to go to work the next day, she did not want to waste her sleeping time because of someone else’s relationship problems.

Early the next morning, the Clintons sent someone to pick up Tony.
