Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 507 Complaints

With a bag slung over her shoulder, Amelia Winters hurried into the private room in her high heels and said apologetically, “I’m so sorry. The traffic was awful. Have you guys been waiting for a long time?”

Eleanor’s attention had been on the younger woman entirely ever since the latter arrived, and her eyes were filled with deep affection as she gazed at her.

“We arrived not long ago, so there’s absolutely no need to hurry. Take it easy. You might sprain your ankle from running in high heels.” Eleanor rose to her feet, approached Amelia, and grabbed her hand suddenly. Like a mother who loved her child deeply, she looked at her from head to toe and commented, “You’ve gained some weight, and your complexion looks much better than when you were at Beshya. I can finally feel at ease now. After returning to Saspiuburg, I’ve been worrying all the time about your living condition at Tayhaven. I’ve been meaning to visit you, but I couldn’t find the time to do so.”

Amelia Winters awkwardly glanced at her hand in Eleanor’s grasp. They were technically strangers since their relationship had not been addressed officially, so she found Eleanor’s gesture a little inappropriate.

As though she did not sense her discomfiture, Eleanor led her to the seat beside hers and said smilingly, “The dishes will be served soon. Do eat more. You’ll look prettier with a plumper face.”

Watching them with a frosty gaze, Amelia Hutton poked at the plate with her fork to hide the discomfort in her eyes. When she looked up again, she was back to her innocent and gentle self.

With a grin plastered on her face, she asked, “Amy, you didn’t acknowledge my presence from the moment you entered the room. Have you forgotten about me?”

Only then did Amelia Winters turn toward her. “Amelia, it’s been a while. You’re getting prettier each day,” she praised, smiling.

“Likewise. When you entered just now, I thought I saw an executive. Your outfit is very sophisticated. It’s so different from the impression I have of you back in Beshya.” Amelia Hutton started flattering her without reservation.

Flashing her a gracious smile, Amelia Winters replied, “I found a job as a designer after returning from Beshya. Naturally, I must be particular about my attire at the workplace.”

“Amy, I feel like there’s an overall improvement in your temperament. You used to be gentle and slightly innocent. But now, you’re bright, innocent, elegant, and independent all at once. You’re so attractive now.” Amelia Hutton was behaving weirdly, giving out one compliment after another profusely.

Amelia Winters was embarrassed from receiving a deluge of praises.

“Amelia, you flatter me.”

Coincidentally, the waiter began serving the dishes, saving her from the awkward atmosphere.

Once the dishes were placed on the table, Amelia Winters immediately put food on Eleanor’s plate and exhorted, “Mrs. Hutton, try their foie gras. It tastes quite good, but I’m not sure if the internal organ of a duck suits your palate.”
