 Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 136 A Contract

Amelia was shocked to hear such an unreserved answer from Derrick, but she agreed nonetheless.

“Sure. We’ll see you in the evening.”

Amelia fell into deep thoughts after she hung up. She still could not get her head around what was happening. Judging from the man’s mannerisms, he was not as bad as Tiffany said he was. Besides, he clearly sounded like a young man.

He must be a rich and successful man, but Tiffany painted a direct opposite picture. Amelia did not know if she should laugh at what her friend made him up to be.

When Tiffany finally came home, Amelia was looking at her phone.

“Hey, Babe, I’m back. You shouldn’t spend so much time on your phone. It’s not good for the baby,” she said.

“Mr. Hisson called just now, so I picked up.” Amelia’s words struck Tiffany like a lightning bolt.

Her hand froze for a while as she put the food on the table. She gave off a rigid laugh and tried to sound natural. “Did he say anything?”

Amelia continued looking at her phone as a subtle smile played across her lips. “Tiff, it seems like you’re hiding a lot of things from me, aren’t you? Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

Tiffany arranged the food on the table and tried to play dumb. “I don’t understand what you’re saying, Babe.”

The smile on Amelia’s face slowly faded as she locked her gaze at Tiffany.

Tiffany really did not like her behaving like this.

“Babe, stop doing this to me. You know I really can’t take you looking at me like this. I’ll tell you everything, okay?”

Amelia crossed her arms. “You’d better come clean this time. We’ve been friends for so many years. It’s not like I’ll do anything to harm you.”

“Alright. Let’s eat first. I bought some of your favorite snacks. I’ll go grocery shopping later. I’ll make you some chicken soup later. You’re too thin for your own good. Your baby is already seven-month-old and your limbs are still so skinny.”

“Don’t change the topic,” Amelia warned as she ate away.

Tiffany took some food herself and mumbled as she munched, “Babe, I didn’t.”

“From your boss’ voice, I can tell he’s our age. His voice is so magnetic, so I guess he must be an attractive man. But someone clearly said he was short, fat, and ugly. You should at least do him some justice,” Amelia said.
