Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 529 Jolin

Eleanor waited until she couldn’t hear any sound coming from the stairs before she spoke kindly. “Let’s go to the study and talk there.”

Benjamin nodded.

Both of them arrived at the study. He walked over to the window and looked at the scenery outside. His heart had finally calmed down.

“Why do you still want to see her?” he asked in a deep voice.

She approached him and stared outside of the window with him before sighing. “Can’t we just talk it out nicely, Ben? I really don’t want to argue with you loudly every time. It’s been twenty years. I’m tired of it.”

He turned to her as a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes. “Do you think I want to argue with you? You’re the one who always starts arguing first. I want to live a peaceful life with you and travel to new places with you whenever I’m not busy with my job. But look at your attitude. You’ll always either act coldly toward me or mock me in some way. Even a burning fire will get extinguished by your ice-cold attitude.”

“I want to do the same with you, but have you considered how you have been treating our eldest daughter for the last twenty-odd years? Every time you treat her that way, I can’t stop thinking about what exactly she did wrong to deserve your ire. I’m willing to treat you better if you show her at least some bit of love, but do you ever?”

“She’s a jinx, a walking disaster. We have a daughter and a son. We have a happy family. Why must you insist on bringing a jinx back into the family and destroying the peace and serenity we have?”

Eleanor’s face darkened before she snorted. “Looks like there’s nothing left for us to talk about. I’ll be open to a discussion about how we can live together harmoniously as a couple when you accept Lia.”

“Can you stop messing around, Eleanor?” A vein bulged on Benjamin’s forehead as he was failing to suppress his rage. He spoke as calmly as he could. “I can ignore that you went over there to visit her, but promise me that you’ll cut off all connections with her in the future.”

“Impossible. Not officially accepting her as my daughter is the biggest concession I can make, so don’t you dare demand me to do anything more than that. I just reunited with her. There’s no way in hell I’ll let her slip out of my life again. I can’t do it.”

Benjamin’s expression turned as dark as ink.

“Why must you piss me off every time? Does pissing me off make you happy?” he questioned with gritted teeth.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I’m not trying to piss you off, but I can’t just ignore my daughter. I’m not as cruel as you. Maybe you can bury your head in the sand, but I can’t. I’m not going to blame you for doing that, but please don’t do anything to Lia. Otherwise, I’ll hate you forever.”

Anger seeped into his voice. “I forbid you from meeting her again. If not, I don’t mind paying a visit to her foster parents. I heard she has a terrible relationship with her foster parents. If you want to destroy her peaceful life, go ahead and meet her again.”

She glared at him with fury and hatred. “You’re a despicable man.”

“I don’t mind being despicable when it comes to your matters.”
