Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 446
Chapter 446 A Bad ident
“Don’t me others if you can’t grasp a man’s heart, Ms. Larson. You only have yourself to me as
you are not charming enough.” Oscar pulled Amelia behind him before continuing bluntly, “It’s getting
late anyway. The two you please settle your rtionship issues outside and don’t affect the other
diners’ moods. Amelia, let’s not get in their way and leave. I don’t want anyone to bite back at our
kindness.”
Upon hearing that, a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness shed in Jennifer’s eyes.
Amelia turned to face the other woman, saying in a gentle tone, “I have no intention topete with
you. Carter and I are just friends. I’m also very happy to know that he has found happiness. Honestly, I
think the two of you are quitepatible.”
Despite her words, she was met with a vehement re from Jennifer.
Noticing that her persuasion was useless, Amelia then added, “Carter, Ms. Larson, I’m going for dinner
with Oscar. It’s gettingte, and my child will be hungry. We won’t trouble you further then.”

With that said, she took Oscar’s hand and left. Carter stared straight at her retreating figure, and he
could not help but blurt out, “Amelia.”
As Amelia halted in her steps, Jennifer’s expression grew increasingly awkward.
Carter walked toward her and gave her a gentleman’s smile while ignoring her interlocking hands with
Oscar. “Do you mind if I join you? I happen to be hungry as well.”
Before Amelia could reply, Oscar spoke up with a stoic expression.
“Mr. Scott, I mind. Seeing as your rtionship issue hasn’t been resolved, I advise you not to approach
my wife. Nothing will happen to you if your woman gets jealous, but trouble might befall my wife. As her
husband, it’s my responsibility to get rid of all possible threats.”
Carter’s face turned grim.
Amelia tugged at Oscar’s clothes, signaling for him to stop before saying in a pleasant voice, “I think it’s
best if you talk to Ms. Larson first, Carter. We still have many opportunities to catch up, so there’s no
hurry for that. Don’t you think so?”
Carter pursed his lips while staring intently at her. He could not tell if it was due to Oscar’s words or
Amelia’s warm gaze, but he did not have the heart to refuse her. Hence, he gave her a nod.
Upon seeing that, Amelia smiled. “We’ll head for dinner now, Carter. Do have your meal as well after
you’ve talked it out with Ms. Larson.”
Carter turned around and went to her side, looking at her with a grim expression before saying curtly,
“Let’s go.” He walked out as soon as he said that, leaving Jennifer to nce at the second floor in
resentment before following after him.
Standing at a remote field, Carter crossed his arms, and a trace of impatience shed in his eyes when
he looked at Jennifer.
“You’ve already hit and scolded me, Jennifer. Can you get over it already? Please, I beg of you, stop
pestering me. It’s been two years. You’re exhausted and so am I. I don’t want people to keep thinking
that we’re a couple. I’ll admit that I’ve loved Amelia for ten years, no, it’s maybe longer than that. I’m
afraid it’ll be hard for me to love another woman again. I’ll only hurt you by marrying you. In the end,
we’ll definitely end the marriage with a divorce,” he articted each word.
I don’t love her. She’ll be miserable, and so will I if we get into a loveless marriage. Many people in this
world are in such marriages, but I don’t wish to settle for that.
Jennifer’s eyes reddened as she took a deep breath. She did not wish to show any vulnerability,
knowing that Carter would not feel distressed even if she did. She was a proud woman who maintained
herposure in front of a man who did not care about her. Even though she had pursued him for two
years, she would never allow herself to show her weakness in front of him.
“Carter, what you said is so unfair to me. You’ve never given me a chance, so how would you know that
things won’t work out between us?” Jennifer stared at him with bloodshot eyes. “I can tolerate you liking
someone else. I only hope that you’ll treat me more fairly and make a little room for me in your heart. I
won’t ask for more. I am serious, but just have some space for me in your heart. You’ve always closed
your heart to me. Don’t you know that I’ve tried so hard to get through to you?”
Carter furrowed his brows as a sh of guilt appeared in his eyes.
He would be lying if he said that he did not feel anything for the beautiful woman who treated him with
respect and dignity. However, that was not enough for him to fall in love with her. Other than being
moved and liking her a little, he found it difficult to take it to the next level. So instead of prolonging it,
he would rather push her away from the start.
He bowed to her for the first time. “I’m sorry, Jennifer, but I can’t love you. Please stop pestering me.
It’ll do us both good.”
Jennifer shook her head vigorously while staring at him in disbelief.
“I don’t want to do that. I’ve wasted two years on you. Don’t think that you can escape me. I’ll never let
you go!” Jennifer felt as though she was trapped at a dead end. At that moment, she did not know if it
was due to her love for him or her reluctance to ept the oue, but she was determined to hold
onto him.
“I won’t let you go, Carter Scott!” she shrieked with all her might before covering her face and running
away.
Jennifer got into her car and drove at a high speed with her emotions in disarray. Her vehicle collided
with a truck driven by a drunk driver while crossing the highway.
When Carter rushed to the hospital after receiving the news, he realized that both his and her family
members were already waiting there.
As soon as Laura saw him, she pounced at him like a madwoman and threw punches at him. “My
daughter dressed up nicely to have a meal with you, Carter Scott, so why was she driving alone and
getting hit by a truck while you’re unscathed? Weren’t you with her? Why would she be involved in an
ident?” she sobbed.
Carter merely stood there and allowed her to hit him. Despite wanting Jennifer to stop pestering him,
he never thought that she would get into a car ident.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Larson,” he apologized as the color drained from his face.
“Is there any use in apologizing? Jennifer spent nearly three hours doing her hair and choosing her
clothes just to have this meal with you. She left the house in high spirits, so why would she be involved
in an ident? Where were you then?” Laura wailed.
She only had one daughter and could not bear to lose her. It was a torment greater than death.
Without a care for her image as a wealthydy, Laura continued crying and hitting Carter, hating him to
the core. The great satisfaction she felt toward him at the very beginning had morphed into hatred of
the same intensity. No mother would be able to stand her daughter acting so desperately over a man. If
I had the power to predict the future, I wouldn’t have brought Jennifer back to the country and allowed
her to meet such a fate.
Seeing this, Faye and Vincent rushed forward to pull the two apart, the former frowned with
displeasure. However, taking into consideration that Jennifer was still in the operating room, she felt it
was not right to speak too harshly.
“Please calm down. Jennifer is a good person. I’m sure she’ll be fine. If her ident is truly rted to
Carter, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson. However, Carter is obviously innocent, so you can’t keep
using him this way. I also love Jennifer very much and am heartbroken that she met with an
ident, but you can’t put all the me on Carter, right?”
Laura stared at Faye with reddened eyes and sneered, “Mrs. Scott, I don’t care who’s responsible for
her ident at the moment. I don’t wish to see your family again. Leave and don’t ever appear in front
of us again. I must’ve been blind back then in bringing Jennifer back to the country. Get lost!”
Hearing this, Faye also felt her temper rising. She tugged Carter’s hand as she said, “Let’s go, Carter.
This family is simply unreasonable! Let’s not waste time here and get scolded for nothing.”
However, Carter did not move and whispered weakly while staring at the operating room, “Why don’t
you head back first, Mom. I’ve let Jennifer down.”
Faye’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you saying that Jennifer’s ident is truly rted to you? I know
that you’re upset because of the ident, but you can’t simply say things like that,” she chastised.
“Mom, I was the one who made Jennifer angry and caused her to be emotionally stable, which then led
to the ident. Hence, her ident has a lot to do with me. Go back first. I’ll stay here,” said Carter as
he turned to look at his mother.
Faye’s chest rose and fell heavily in anger upon hearing that.
She grabbed onto his cor and said angrily, “You brat. What did she do to you that you constantly
cause her so much grievance? Now, she’s in the operating room fighting for her life. She’s an only
child. If something happens to her, how are you going topensate her parents? Why are you always
making me worry? Are you happy now that she’s lying on the operating table?”
Carter remained silent.
Laura, who was held in the arms of Vincent, also red at Carter as she howled, “Get lost! All of you! I
don’t need you to shed crocodile tears here.”
“Carter is also very apologetic, Mr. Larson, so please don’t be angry. We…”
“Get lost!” Laura repeated, “If something happens to Jennifer, I’ll fight your family in every possible way,
even if I have to use all our family’s financial resources and go bankrupt.”
Faye’s expression turned grim as she hurriedly pulled Carter over. “Apologize to Mrs. Larson now. Do
you really wish to drive me mad?”
He stepped forward and said solemnly, “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Larson. No matter what happens to her, I’ll
shoulder all responsibility toward her and you both.”
“Scram! If Jennifer survives, I’ll let her marry anyone but you. I’ll never allow my only daughter to be
with someone who doesn’t cherish her,” Laura eximed angrily.
If the nurse had not walked over to remind them to keep their voice down, Laura would have had an
emotional meltdown and yelled at him.
She was dragged to the side by Vincent to avoid seeing the Scotts. Carter, on the other hand, stood
rooted to the spot. His mind was in utter chaos, and he could not figure out what he was feeling at that
moment.
