Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 492

Chapter 492 Apology

The next morning, Carol instructed her maid to load the car with gifts before getting into the car with Noah and Isabella.

Noah was driving while Carol and Isabella were seated at the back of the car. Carol then started a conversation with Isabella. “Isabella, please be nice when we’re at the Clinton residence. Since Olivia’s impression of you isn’t too bad, perhaps you could cheer her up with some nice words so that she’d forgive you for what happened to Tony. Anyway, just please watch your temper, okay?”

“Don’t worry, Mom. You don’t have to nag at me. I know what to do,” Isabella answered.

Carol heaved a sigh and appeared weak to appeal to her daughter’s good side. “Isabella, I’m sorry for the harsh words I said to you last night. I was just on edge. However, you’re going to get married soon, anyway. So why don’t you consider helping the Walker family while you’re still here?”

Isabella was heartbroken upon hearing that. How could she say that? How could she be so biased? Am I not her daughter?

Despite how she felt, Isabella answered obediently, “You’re right, Mom. Once I’m married into the Clintons, I’ll definitely help the Walker family. As for Stephanie, she’s going to get married to another family, eventually. By then, I’m sure I’d have more say than her. In that case, I do wonder why are you not helping me instead, Mom? Everyone in the upper-class society knows I’m about to get engaged with Oscar. If that doesn’t happen in the end, wouldn’t the Walker family be embarrassed? Mom, you don’t want that to happen, do you? This would ultimately affect Noah’s reputation as well. If the Walker family turns out to be the joke of the town, do you think Stephanie would still be willing to marry him?”

Carol immediately gave her an intense stare upon hearing that.

Isabella stared back at her innocently and added, “Mom, it’s not that I’m hoping for that to happen. But, why don’t you put some effort into me as well? Even if Noah ends up marrying Stephanie, what’s the point? The Walker family’s fortune would end up being shared among all the members of the family.”

Carol sank into deep thoughts.

 

Silence then ensued in the car.

Before they knew it, they had driven into the Clinton residence.

Upon getting out of the car, Isabella held Carol’s hand and made their way toward the entrance. As for Noah, he had to carry all the gifts on his own.

Carol felt bad and asked, “Can you manage, Noah? Do you need my help?”

Before Noah could respond, Isabella hastily said, “Mom, let him be the gentleman he’s always portrayed himself to be. Mrs. Clinton might even like him more if she sees that. If you help him, Mrs. Clinton might think he’s so weak that he has to ask us women to carry for him. Am I right, Noah?”
