Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 301
Chapter 301 Left
It was two-thirty in the morning when the ne touched down in Beshya. A private car was waiting for
them at the airport, and Derrick had his men put all the luggage into the car.
The four adults and the sleeping Tony got into the car, and the chauffeur drove everyone to Derrick’s
vi, which was in the suburbs. That was a luxurious ce and had a number of different vis in its
surroundings. It was obviously located within a luxurious area.
The chauffeur drove the car over and parked it. After that, Derrick spoke to the chauffeur. “You can go
home and rest up now.”

“Understood, Mr. Hisson.”
After getting out of the car, Derrick said, “This is the vi I got for myself here in Beshya. Everyone in
the neighborhood is a powerful figure here, and if you girls are bored, you can go talk to the neighbors.
Thedies here are mostly wives of rich men and often have a lot of free time. There’s no need to be
too polite, though, because everyone knows each other here.”
Amelia examined the spacious vi. She could not help but gasp once more at how Derrick was much
wealthier than she imagined.
“Derrick, you are richer than I thought. Oh, but you better treasure Tiff because she has an intensive
network,”mented Amelia in a meaningful tone.
She was basically hinting that Derrick should not assume that he could mess with Tiffany just because
he was rich. Amelia and Tiffany were not as powerful as he was, but if Derrick were to hurt Tiffany, they
would empty the limited resources they had just to fight him.
Derrick was a genius, so naturally, he understood what Amelia was hinting at. He could not help but
grow more impressed by Amelia. At that moment, he finally understood why Tiffany was willing to go
through hell and fight endlessly for Amelia. The old wives’ tale ims that friendships between women
are weak, but I guess things only seem that way because some women never truly worked hard for
their friendship. Sometimes, women make friends that are there for them forever.
Derrick smiled and replied, “I am not stupid enough to hurt the woman I spent three years courting. If
anything, I will treasure her and love her for the rest of my life because it’d be a waste of my time
otherwise.”
Amelia’s lips instinctively curved into a smile. Good. At least one of us can lead a happy life.
“You better remember what you promise today, Derrick. If I ever catch you hurting her, I will take her far,
far away,” threatened Amelia.
Draping his arm over Tiffany, Derrick confidently announced, “Don’t worry, Amelia. You won’t have to.”
Tiffany felt her cheeks burning red. She would not be surprised if someone were to tell her she looked
as bright as an apple at that moment.
She pushed Derrick away and pretended to be annoyed beforeining, “That’s enough from the
both of you. I’m standing right here, you know? Geez, I feel like a piece of jewelry being tossed back
and forth. Come on, let’s hurry up. It’s almost three, and we can all forget about getting any sleep if we
keep wasting our time talking over here.”
After saying all that, Tiffany forged ahead. She was so shy that she could not help but cover her face
with her hand.
Amelia could not resist giggling at that funny scene. “Let’s go,” said Amelia.
Tiffany was rather in tune with her tomboy side, so she would never have felt shy if she didn’t love
Derrick. It was likely she loved Derrick more than she realized. At that moment, Amelia simply prayed
that Derrick’s love for Tiffany was true. Otherwise, Tiffany would be in more pain than anyone could
imagine. It was just like how things were with Amelia. She looked fine on the surface, but the truth was
that she had already given up on love. Other than Oscar, she could not see herself falling in love with
other men.
“When you love someone that deeply, everyone else thates after will be nothing but his
recement.”
That was one of the most iconic quotes from the television drama that Amelia used to watch.
When Amelia entered the vi, she saw two rows of maids standing at the side. Tiffany was stupefied
as she stared at the maids, who had been waiting for them for quite some time.
When everyone entered, the maids simultaneously stated, “Wee.”
Amelia was smiling a little stiffly at the time. Tiffany, on the other hand, backed away to Amelia’s side to
hug her arm. The former shot a strange look over at Derrick before whispering, “D-Derrick, was this
your idea?”
It was the middle of the night, so at first, Tiffany thought she had stumbled into a haunted mansion. She
entered the vi on her own earlier, and the sight of everyone scared her so much that she almost wet
her pants. Is this a surprise or an ambush?
Derrick found that amusing. Releasing a grin, he asked, “Do you not enjoy weing gestures like
these?”
Tiffany tugged at his arm a little and replied, “D-Derrick… Ah, that sounds so weird. I think I’ll just call
you Mr. Hisson. Anyway, don’t get everyone up in the middle of the night just for things like this lest
they will assume that we’re divas. Let everyone go to bed already.”
With a smile, Derrick waved his hands and instructed, “You can go back to your respective rooms now,
everyone.”
“Understood,” replied the trained maids. With that, they returned to their rooms in an orderly manner.
An elderly guy in his sixties approached them and politely informed, “Mr. Hisson, you’re finally here. I’ve
prepared the rooms for your guests, and they can move in right away.”
“Thank you, Jeremy,” replied Derrick respectfully to the elderly man.
After that, Derrick turned to Tiffany and Amelia to introduce everyone to each other. “This is Jeremy,”
he started. “He is the butler who helps me maintain this vi.”
“Hello, Jeremy,” greeted Amelia and Tiffany graciously.
Endearing warmth exuded from Jeremy’s eyes when he gazed at the women. Smiling, he replied, “Mr.
Hisson told me about the two of you. I gather you’re both Ms. Winters?”
“You can call me Amelia, Jeremy.”
“And you can call me Tiffany.”
“Good, I’m d to hear that,” replied Jeremy. He was obviously delighted to see how respectful both
Amelia and Tiffany were.
Derrick wrapped his arm around Tiffany and happily announced, “Jeremy, this is my girlfriend, and she
will be thedy of the house someday. Please take care of her while I’m gone and know that her orders
carry the same weight as mine.”
A hint of surprise shed past Jeremy’s eyes. He thought about it for a while before asking, “But, Mr.
Hisson, what about Ms. Halliwell?”
Hearing the mention of that name, Derrick turned grouchy and immediately scolded, “Tiffany is the only
woman for me, Jeremy. Everyone else has nothing to do with me!”
Jeremy was quick to hide his shock away. After that, he apologized, “I apologize. Please ignore what I
said.”
Pausing for a moment, Jeremy added, “It’ste, Mr. Hisson. Both Amelia and Tiffany look tired from the
travel, so how about I take everyone to their respective rooms?”
“Okay.”
Amelia and Tiffany were curious about the woman Jeremy mentioned, but it was indeed toote, so
they put that aside and went to the rooms that Jeremy had prepared.
In the meantime, Jeremy stared at Kurt, who was silently carrying Tony in his arms. “Mr. Hisson, who is
this?” the butler queried.
More importantly, who is this boy?
Shooting a look at Derrick, Jeremy wondered, H-He could not be Mr. Hisson’s son, could he?
Oblivious to what was going on in the elder’s mind, Derrick simply replied, “That is the bodyguard
Amelia hired. The kid in his arms is Amelia’s son, and they are both important guests. Tell the others to
tend to both of their needs.”
“Understood, Mr. Hisson.”
Since it was gettingte, Derrick retired to his bedroom after saying a few more words.
The night ended soon after.
At around eight o’clock, Amelia and Tiffany walked down the stairs. At the same time, Jeremy was
exiting the kitchen. Spotting the women, he smiled and voiced, “Ah, Amelia, Tiffany, you’re up. Come
and have your breakfast. I’ll be waking Mr. Hisson as well.”
“Good morning, Jeremy,” greeted Amelia and Tiffany politely after they walked down the stairs.
“Morning.”
Amelia and Tiffany sat down, and about five minutester, Derrick and Kurt came to join them.
Derrick circled around to Tiffany’s side and kissed her cheek as if no one was there. After that, he
asked, “Did you sleep wellst night?”
Tiffany could not help but blush. She pretended to be famished and had her head down so low that she
was practically stuck to the te.
Seeing that, Derrick found it especially cute, whereas Amelia, who was sitting next to Tiffany, simply
grinned as she watched the couple’s adorable interaction.
Taking the other seat next to Tiffany, Derrick turned to Amelia. “What about you, Amelia? Did you sleep
well?”
“Yeah,” replied Amelia as she munched on her breakfast.
Nodding, Derrick queried, “I noticed that Kurt has potential, so I’ve assigned Denise to babysit Tony.
Will it be okay if I have Kurt work for me, Amelia? It’s weird for a man to stay home all day to babysit.
His talent would go to waste, and his skills will slowly deteriorate, so don’t you think it’s better if he
works for me?”
Derrick had always been on the lookout for talent. He also thought that a man like Kurt should venture
far and wide to build a career, as opposed to staying at home just to babysit.
Letting out a smile, Amelia responded, “You’ll have to ask Kurt about this. I will definitely agree to it if
that is what he wishes.”
Hearing that, Derrick turned to Kurt. “What do you say, Kurt? Don’t misread the situation, though. I’m
not asking you to abandon your task to protect Amelia. All I’m requesting is for you to help me train a
few men to be better security guards. You can train them right here in the vi. The Hissons run a huge
corporation, after all, and our family needs a lot of security guards to keep us safe. Can you train
them?”
Kurt looked at Amelia, who nodded at him.
“Okay,” Kurt agreed.
“Great, then it’s settled. As for your pay, I will have to see if you are as great as Tiffany said. If you are,
I promise I will reward you handsomely.” Derrick grinned excitedly as he had recruited another talented
man into his corporation.
Kurt didn’t respond to that.
He didn’t really care about the money because he had been working for Oscar for years. Thetter
could be cruel when doing business, but he was not stingy with his subordinates. He would pay Kurt
more than anyone else would. Oscar would even transfer funds into Kurt’s private ount when the
latter did some personal errands for him, and it was more than enough for Kurt to spend the rest of his
life in luxury.
After breakfast, Derrick’s phone rang. He frowned and picked it up. No one knew what was said at the
time, but Derrick’s expression turned increasingly grimmer as he listened. In the end, he uttered, “Okay,
got it. I’ll be on my way now.”
With that, he hung up the phone and apologized, “Sorry, but I have to go home for a while. My mom’s
illness acted up again, and she has been taken to the hospital. I have to go check up on her.”
“Hurry, then,” urged Tiffany worriedly. “Send my regards to your mom.”
Pulling her into an embrace, Derrick muttered, “Don’t worry, my mom will be fine. When she recovers,
I’ll make time and bring you to her. Then we can talk about our marriage when our rtionship
stabilizes.”
Blushing from embarrassment, Tiffany urged shyly, “Ah, go back already. We’ll talk about the wedding
later.” She thought that it was still too early to talk about marriage since they had just started dating.
Surprisingly, she didn’t feel pressured or annoyed when she heard Derrick say all that. If anything, she
felt it would be a dream to marry an excellent guy like Derrick. She soon thought about how she would
have to be a part of a wealthy family like the Hissons, and that got her to back away from the idea of
marriage again.
“Okay, then I’ll head out now. Take care of yourself, okay? Don’t make me worry,” said Derrick.
“Got it. Stop nagging me.”
Letting out a loudugh, Derrick then took his leave.
When he was out of sight, Amelia turned to Tiffany andmented, “Looks like you’ve really fallen for
the guy, Tiff.”
Tiffany, who was staring in the direction Derrick had left in, snapped to her senses as she shyly
comined, “What nonsense are you talking about, Babe?”
“Tiff, I am happy to see you are in love with someone else. Love is great. Derrick may be an heir to a
wealthy family, and being together with him may be tough, but you can fight through anything so long
as you are brave enough. Don’t give this rtionship up, especially if he loves you as much as you love
him. Don’t be a coward like me and don’t run away from love,” shared Amelia meaningfully.
Amelia had to abandon the city she called home, and she would be lying if she imed that she was
not sad about it at all. She still longed for Oscar and kept recalling the wonderful memories they had
made together. Eventually, she wondered if Oscar would panic, even a little, when he learned that she
was gone.
What she didn’t know was that when Oscar realized that she had gone missing, he tapped into all of his
resources to track her and Tony down. Olivia had it tough as well. She missed Tony too much, and that
led to her illness acting up. She had to be hospitalized for six months, and that caused her to develop a
hatred for Amelia. That, in turn, would make things more difficult for Oscar and Amelia when they tried
to get back together.
Of course, that would happen in the near future. Amelia had no idea that her departure could cause so
much trouble.
