Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 452
Chapter 452 Apology
Amelia, who was busy dealing with her blueprint design in thepany, rushed to the washroom when
she received Tiffany’s message.
When she called Tiffany, thetter sounded as though she was about to cry. “I didn’t heed your advice
at all, Babe. I had another argument with Mrs. Hisson. It’s all because I’m an impulsive and impatient
woman. I really tried my best not to get angry, but looks like it was a pointless endeavor in the end.”
“Calm down and tell me what happened.”
Tiffany briefly exined the incident that had taken ce.
Amelia wasn’t sure what to say, but she still asked, “If you’ve endured it for hours, why didn’t you hold
back for a little longer, Tiffany?”
There was silence on the other end for a dozen seconds before Tiffany spoke up again. “I wanted to.
It’s just that… I couldn’t stand her bullying after hours of following her around like her maid.”
“I don’t think we can talk properly on the phone. How about youe to mypany half an hour
later? We’ll have lunch together and we can discuss your next move,” Amelia suggested.
“Sure.”
After hanging up the phone, Amelia couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows. Mrs. Hisson is harder to
deal with than I thought. Ever since Tiffany became a frence author and was no longer restricted by
a workce, she became used to doing things her way. Her impatient personality certainly isn’t a
helpful trait against someone like Mrs. Hisson. I wonder, is Derrick really going to be the right man for
her? If she marries into the Hisson family, can she really handle the social interactions she’ll have to
partake in upper-ss gatherings? Will she even like it?
Amelia was getting unsure of what she should do because she knew firsthand how terrible it felt to take
part in the upper-ss society without being used to them. Maybe it’ll be better if Tiffany finds another
man. Not having a simr social status isn’t something that she can easily ignore as time goes on. I
suppose we’ll just have to see how it goes. It’s her decision to stay with Derrick, after all, and so this is
a journey she must go through. As much as I wish to interfere, all I can do is give her advice.
Amelia met up with Tiffany at a restaurant close to herpany. Both of them sat by the window and
ordered a couple of dishes that they liked before handing the menu back to the server.
Seeing that Tiffany was still looking upset, Amelia asked, “Are you all right?”

Tiffany shook her head. “No. Not at all.”
“Cheer up a little. There’s no point in mulling over something that has already happened. It’s more
important to focus on a solution right now.”
A sigh escaped Tiffany’s lips. “When I agreed to stay with Derrick, I thought it wasn’t going to be
complicated. I can’t believe how wrong I was, Babe. Only now have I realized how simple my view of
things was. Rich families value manners and rules above almost all else. Even Derrick can’t protect me
forever or else his rtives will speak badly about him. He can’t win even if he has a hundred mouths. I
was too na?ve.”
Amelia’s heart wrenched when she saw how much agony Tiffany was in. Tiffany had been there for her
through some of the toughest parts of her life. She never once abandoned her. While they weren’t
rted by blood, their rtionship with each other was tighter than those who were. Their kinship with
each other was indestructible.
“Do you regret it?” she asked softly.
Tiffany nced at her and chuckled. “Of course not. I was just overwhelmed by negative emotions,
that’s all. I’ve been in love with Derrick for two years now, and I’ve given him everything I have. There’s
no way I’ll give up on him that easily. As long as he still wants me by his side, I won’t leave.”
Determination could be seen in her eyes.
Amelia smiled and patted the back of her hand. “That’s more like it. Now you look like the Tiffany I
know. You almost gave me a scare with how down you looked earlier.”
“Sorry for making you worry, Babe.” An embarrassed smile crept up on Tiffany’s face.
Amelia shook her head in a nonplussed manner before she pinched her nose. “I’ll be happy to share
your burden, and you certainly can tell me everything that you can’t talk with Derrick about. But to be
frank, I do think that you were too impulsive today.”
Tiffany’s expression promptly turned back to a depressed one.
The server served the dishes they ordered and temporarily halted their conversation.
When all the food arrived, Amelia intentionally changed the topic. “You should eat first. I bet you’re
hungry after apanying them for three hours in the mall.”
Tiffany epted a bowl of mushroom soup Amelia handed her and finished it in a few short seconds.
With the soup in her stomach, she finally regained a portion of her energy back. “You have no idea how
scary they are when ites to their shopping ability, Babe. They could jump from one clothing shop to
another without stopping, and they wouldn’t leave until they browsed through the majority of clothes
there. I don’t want to go on another shopping spree for at least a couple of weeks.”
“I don’t think you’re worse than them when ites to shopping. Why didn’t you buy any clothes at
all?”
“Nah, they’re on apletely different levelpared to me. Besides, I wasn’t really in the mood to
buy clothes when they were treating me as if I was invisible. That was until they wanted me to hold
their bags. Then they’d treat me as a maid. Even when I spotted a shirt or dress I wanted to try, Mrs.
Hisson would just give me a silent look. When she did that, my desire to try a clothing out had
completely vanished.” Tiffany mimicked Kate’s behavior as she spoke, making Amelia giggle.
“What are you going to do now that you’ve pissed her off?”
Tiffany paused as she stared at the delicious food in front of her. Suddenly, she didn’t have a strong
appetite to eat anymore. “There’s nothing much I can do. Regardless of my actions, she’ll dislike me all
the same.”
Amelia ced a piece of meat on her te and asked, “Have you thought about what happens after
your marriage, Tiff? Derrick will still protect you now since you two are just a couple in love. However,
marriage isn’t just a matter between the two of you. It’s a matter between both of your families. If you
want to live a good life with Derrick after your wedding, you need to maintain a good rtionship with
his family. If you can’t get Mrs. Hisson to stand on your side, then I’m afraid there’ll be nothing but
trouble once you be a part of their family.”
Tiffany stuffed her mouth full of food and chewed with great effort as though she was chewing on Kate.
“You think I don’t know what you’re saying, Babe? I tried to be nice to Mrs. Hisson, but she’s mean.
She’s meaner than your grandmother. Do you know why? It’s because your grandmother ignores you
while she would do everything to make my life harder. If she keeps this up, I’m afraid my marriage with
Derrick won’tst long.” She sounded pretty discouraged because she knew how unhappy she would
be without the blessings of her elders for her marriage.
Amelia fell silent.
Both of them stared at each other without a word being spoken.
In the end, it was Amelia who started talking again. “How are you going to exin what happened to
Derrickter?”
“I’m just going to tell him the truth. I don’t think that old woman’s going toin about such a small
thing to him.”
“It’s best that you be prepared. Better to have you tell him what happened than her telling him an
exaggerated version of the incident.”
“Fine.” Tiffany promptly took out her phone and gave Derrick a call.
When the call connected, she told him about the unpleasant shopping experience she had had with
Kate. Before she ended the call, she asked, “Can you help me apologize to her on my behalf? I was
too emotional earlier. If I have the chance to apologize to her personallyter, I will.”
Derrickforted in a soft tone, “I know. I’ll exin it to Momter. There’s no need for you to worry. I
won’t let anyone upset you as long as I’m around.”
“Thank you, Derrick. I’m sorry for putting you in a difficult spot again.”
“Silly woman.” He chuckled.
When she heard a woman on his end reminding him that a visitor had arrived, she quickly said, “You
should go if you’re busy, Derrick. We’ll meetter tonight.”
After she hung up the phone, Amelia smiled at her. “Problem solved? Heh, look at how sweet your
smile is.”
Tiffany shot a nce at her silently.
“Hurry up and finish your meal. Once you’re done, I’ll be heading back to work. As for you, I think you
should head back home and rest. You’re rushing toplete your manuscript, right? Don’t getzy or
thepany’s gonna grumble about how long you’re taking with the script.”
“I know, I know. I’ll be heading back soon.”
“Also, take some time out to apologize. Try not to put Derrick in a tough spot.”
Tiffany nodded.
