Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 513 Handing You This Project

Amelia only rested for two days before insisting on going back to work. Oscar failed to convince her and unwillingly drove her to work.

When they arrived at the company entrance, he reminded her worriedly, “If you have a headache, call me and don’t force yourself to work, okay? Don’t give in to anyone’s pleading for Mrs. Larson, either. I’ll handle it.”

She leaned toward him and kissed his cheek with a smile. “Okay. You should go to work now. Don’t forget to invite Mrs. Hutton to a meal at noon. They have been taking good care of me for the past two days. I want to show them my gratitude.”

“Got it.”

After she got off the car, she watched him leave before turning toward the company. Someone unexpectedly approached her from behind a pillar. She stopped and smiled at him. “When did you arrive, Carter?”

Carter’s heart ached as he stared at the gauze on her forehead.

“Does it hurt?” He approached her and asked caringly.

She was stunned for a second before she realized what he was referring to. “A little bit at the start. It’s fine now, though.”

The look in his eyes suddenly turned deep as he apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”

She smiled casually. “Why are you apologizing? It’s not like my wound has anything to do with you. There really is no need for you to act like this, Carter. Besides, it’s getting late. I’m going inside now. We can talk more later.”

His hand grabbed hers to stop her from leaving.

Her gaze swept past the other workers heading into the company before she gave him a warning glare. “Don’t do this, Carter. There are people watching. I don’t want rumors about me to spread in the company, and I especially don’t want them to reach Oscar’s ears.”

Carter’s eyes darkened even further. “Are you avoiding me on purpose, Amelia?”

Amelia withdrew her arm forcefully. “I have a husband and child, Carter. You also have someone of your own. I don’t want the mother of a woman to make a bunch of rumors about me for no reason and lead to me being beaten up again. I’m not a masochist, and I’m not going to do nothing when other people are actively bullying me.”

He stared at her in a daze. “I’m sorry. I’ll take care of it.”

Her head shook. “I’m not blaming you. However, if you’re here because of Mrs. Larson, I suggest you don’t speak any further. I don’t want our friendship to crumble.”

“I’m not going to. I’m only worried about you, and I wanted to check up on you.” Carter quickly denied it.

“Knowing you don’t have intentions like that put me at ease. At least you’re not throwing our friendship away for love.”
