Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 124
Chapter 124 Jennifer
“Hello, gorgeous. Are you here with Molly?” asked ady selling vegetables.
Amelia replied politely, “I have nothing to do at home, so I tagged along with Molly. It’s been a while
since I’vee to the farmer’s market. It must be hard to wake up early in the morning every day.”
The vegetable seller’s smile widened. She had never seen anyone as pretty as Amelia.
As far as she was concerned, the more pretty a woman was, the more arrogant and indifferent she
would be. This was the first time she had ever seen someone as friendly and gorgeous as Amelia.

“You’re such a sweet-talker. Thank you for your concern,” uttered the vegetable seller happily. “It has
been a while since you bought anything from my stall. Here, you can have this for free.”
“Thank you!” After making her purchase, Amelia insisted on paying her. “You’re running a small
business. I insist on paying for my purchases!”
In the end, the vegetable seller epted her payment.
As Molly and Amelia made their way through the farmer’s market, the sellers weed them warmly.
Amelia was also sweet enough, so the sellers gave her lots of free gifts generously. They even got two
extra eggs for free from the egg seller.
Soon, Molly and Amelia left the farmer’s market loaded with their shopping. Molly tried to take the
shopping bags from Amelia, but thetter stepped out of her reach.
“Molly, this isn’t heavy at all. I can manage,” Amelia stated with a grin.
Molly told her, “Mrs. Clinton, give me the eggs. You can carry the vegetables.”
Amused, Amelia answered, “Molly, you’re being too cautious. It’s just a dozen eggs. I can manage that
easily.”
Molly didn’t insist. “Mrs. Clinton, if you find it heavy, hand the bag to me. You’re pregnant, so you need
to be extra careful.”
Amelia chuckled. “Molly, don’t worry. I can handle that, no problem.”
Slowly, Amelia and Molly strolled back to their neighborhood. At the gate of their neighborhood, they
ran into someone who Amelia thought she would never see again—Jennifer Larson. She remembered
how Jennifer used to regard her as a rival.
Upon spotting Amelia, Jennifer removed her sunsses and came to her.
Amelia gave Jennifer the once-over and realized thetter had lost a lot of weight. Jennifer was still
d in a fashionable outfit as usual and was exuding a confident aura, but her gaze wasn’t as dynamic
as before. Overall, she seemed exhausted.
“Amelia, are you free? I need to talk to you.” Jennifer stated her intentions outright.
Sensing Jennifer’s hostility, Molly pulled Amelia to stand behind her. “Who are you?” she inquired.
“Why do you need to talk to Mrs. Clinton?”
Jennifer ignored her and stared straight at Amelia. “I need to talk to you about something important,
Amelia. Half an hour will do.”
Stepping out from behind Molly, Amelia asked, “Ms. Larson, what is it about?”
“Can we talk in a cafe elsewhere?” Jennifer tamped down her irritation and urged.
After a brief hesitation, Amelia told Molly, “Molly, head home with our shopping. I need to talk to her.”
Molly took the shopping bag from her worriedly. “Mrs. Clinton, shall Ie with you?”
Amelia was amused. “Molly, she is my ex-colleague and superior. I know who she is.”
Molly gave the unfriendly Jennifer, who was d in a fashionable outfit, a disapproving look. Evidently,
this woman was here to stir up trouble.
“Mrs. Clinton, I’ll leave the bags at home and join you. You’re seven months along.” Molly was still
concerned. “You’re going to give birth soon. I can’t let anything happen to you.”
She nearly blurted out that Jennifer seemed like trouble, but her manners stopped her from saying so.
Jennifer’s face darkened in displeasure. She put on her sunsses and uttered in exasperation,
“Amelia, why is your maid so talkative? She’s annoying and rude.”
Jennifer had left a terrible impression on Molly.
“Ms. Larson? To be honest, you left a bad impression on me. You might be pretty, but I’ve seen many
gorgeousdies in my life. Compared to Mrs. Clinton, your manners are far worse,” Molly scoffed.
Jennifer nced at Amelia in frustration. “Amelia, will youe or not? Do you seriously think I’ll do
something to hurt you? I’m not that despicable. I’m aw-abiding citizen.”
After reassuring Molly, Amelia turned to her. “Ms. Larson, I’m sorry. My maid is worried for me. She
doesn’t mean anything else. Let’s go.”
Molly stood there with the shopping bags in her hands. “Mrs. Clinton.”
“Molly,” said Amelia in aforting tone. “Go home without me. I’ll be back soon.”
With that, she left with Jennifer.
They arrived at a nearby cafe and ordered a cup of coffee each.
Amelia stirred her coffee and said, “Ms. Larson, it has been a while since west met. Do you need
anything from me?”
Jennifer stared at her bump, obviously in a daze. “Seven months?”
After a momentary silence, Amelia responded politely, “Yes, I’m seven months along.”
“That’s fast,” came Jennifer’s strange reply.
As Jennifer wasn’t being hostile to her, Amelia found it weird.
She sipped on her coffee awkwardly. “Ms. Larson—”
“Jennifer will do,” Jennifer cut in.
Taken aback, Amelia nced at her curiously. Jennifer blurted out, “What’s wrong? Are you surprised
at my sudden change in attitude?”
Amelia nodded in response.
Jennifer removed her sunnies and crossed her legs. “Amelia, I took you as a rival because I realized
Carter is in love with you. I was too jealous of you. I’m sorry for that.”
Amelia merely gave her an odd look.
Jennifer continued, “My sudden appearance might’ve taken you by surprise, but I’m here to offer my
apology. Also, I would like to ask you to stop contacting Carter. You’re too important to him. As long as
you’re by his side, he won’t be able to fall in love with another woman or get married. You don’t want to
hold him up, do you?”
Amelia was lost in thought as her lips curved up in amusement.
Why do women like to tell me that my existence is nothing but an obstacle to the men who love me?
The women im I won’t be of help to the men’s careers and families. It’s like I’m a jinx who will bring
bad luck to every man by my side.
Amelia was neither a hypocrite nor someone who’d suffer in order to make others happy.
“Ms. Larson, I believe you’ve gotten it wrong,” she stated firmly. “Carter and I are just friends. It’s not
wrong for friends to stay in touch, right? Besides, we’ve been friends for ages. I won’t agree with your
request. What right do you have to ask me to stop contacting him?” Amelia’s reply was harsh.
She was insinuating that Jennifer and Carter were also friends, so the former had no right to ask her to
stop contacting Carter.
Jennifer’s expression clouded over as her grip on the cup tightened.
“Amelia, you’re still as sharp-tongued as ever, huh?” Jennifer mocked.
Amelia took a sip of her coffee and grinned. “Ms. Larson, you’ve changed a lot, too. I remembered you
used to be overly aggressive. I can’t believe you’re apologizing to me now.”
Caressing her cup, Jennifer replied, “I’m not apologizing to you. This is a discussion. Carter is the only
connection between us. I believe you know what I’m going to say.”
Amelia shook her head politely. “Ms. Larson, sorry, but I don’t know why you insist on talking to me.”
Jennifer sipped on her coffee before answering, “You’re really good at putting up an innocent act and
seducing other men, huh? You stole Carter’s heart and left without looking back. Do you know what
happened to Carter after you left?”
Amelia was stunned into silence. After her resignation, she had never contacted Carter on purpose. It
was for the best—to her, at least. Hence, she had no idea how Carter was doing now.
Jennifer immediately saw through her and sneered, “What a waste of Carter’s feelings.”
Amelia nced at her curiously. “I didn’t contact him. Isn’t that what you want?”
Jennifer folded her arms arrogantly. “Yes, I hate it when you contact him, but that was your decision.
You don’t even know he entered the hospital after suffering from gastric perforation. I pity him.”
Amelia’s heart clenched ufortably. “Gastric perforation? How could that be? Was it serious? How
is he doing now?” she demanded anxiously.
The mocking smile on Jennifer’s lips widened.
“Don’t you think you’re being a hypocrite?” she sneered in disdain.
Amelia schooled her expression carefully and replied in an indifferent manner. “Ms. Larson, my
rtionship with Carter has nothing to do with you. Even if you’re his girlfriend, you can’t stop him from
making friends. Plus, you’re not even his girlfriend.”
The scowl on Jennifer’s face deepened.
