Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 778
Chapter 778 Trick Olivia Back
Unable to sit back and do nothing, Noah grabbed his coat before heading out of his office. However,
once he arrived at Clinton Corporations, the receptionist stopped him from meeting Oscar.
Initially, he wanted to argue with the receptionist but realized he wasn’t in the position to do so. Thus,
he scurried back to the Walker residence.
Upon entering the living room, he saw Stephanie holding a bowl of food while watching a show on her
laptop in a sleazy position, entirely unlike a married woman.
He was already feeling pretty annoyed. So, when he thought about how he needed to coax his
emotionally unstable and pregnant wife, a hint of frustration shed past his eyes. If not for the fact that
she’s still useful to me, I wouldn’t have married her. She doesn’t look like a proper wife at all.
It wasn’t until Stephanie called for Noah that all the negative emotions flooding into his heart receded.
“Why are you back already, Noah?” she asked as she stood.
He quickly went over to her to hold her, hisrge hands caressing her round belly. “Be careful! You can
ask Mom to apany you for a walk outside when I’m at work. I heard women who are seven or
eight months pregnant should take walks often. Otherwise, you’ll have a hard time giving birth if the
baby grows too big. I know you want a cesarean section, but you still need to be careful.”
Her hand waved with annoyance. “I know. Stop nagging me.”
Upon sitting on the couch, Noah asked, “Where’s Mom and Dad?”
“Their friends wanted to meet them, so they went out for a gathering.” She stared at him. “Why did you
come home so early today? Did something happen at thepany?”
He hesitated before telling her about how Clinton Corporations canceled the investment.
The news made Stephanie panic. “I asked Mom to tell Oscar personally, and he agreed to invest in
Walker Group. Why did he suddenly cancel it? Tell me the truth, Noah. Did you do something to piss
my brother off?”
Noah smiled bitterly. “Do I look like that kind of person, Steph?”
Stephanie rolled her eyes in frustration. “You better not, or else I’ll be too ashamed to go back to my
family.”
Holding her hand, he spoke with affection and a hint of resignation in his tone. “I’ve been working hard
because I want Walker Group to grow stronger, Steph. And the reason is that I want to provide you with
a good life. I’m afraid the fact that the Walker family isn’t as powerful as the Clinton family won’t make
you happy. I was hoping to start a big project with your brother’s support. The project’s preparation is
already underway, and we’ve almost found all the people we need. If he withdraws his investment now,
I’ll be making bricks without straw. In that scenario, all the money that had been invested will be for
nothing.”
Stephanie furrowed her brows upon hearing that. She knew the Walker family was currently intrinsically
tied to her dignity. If Noah didn’t do well, then there was no way she could lead a luxurious life. “I’ll ask
my mother about it. She only has one daughter, so I doubt she’s willing to stand by and watch as I lead
a tough life.”
“Mom and Dad are both in Machia right now to meet with their friends, though. If you call her now, won’t
you disturb her? I cane up with something to pull in investments from other sources. However, this
project is pretty massive. Organizations that aren’t as powerful as the Clinton family or theirpany
can only watch from the sidelines. Forget about it. I’ll find a way myself. You’re a pregnant woman right
now. You just need to eat well and sleep well. No need to think about anything else.” He was trying to
guilt-trip Stephanie.
His attempt was a sess as she pped his hand and spoke petntly. “Do you think I’m a pig that
only knows how to eat and sleep? I’m telling you right now, I’m your wife, and your reputation is my
reputation. If you get rich, I’ll get to live a good life with you. However, if yourpany goes bankrupt,
whether I’ll choose to suffer with you will depend on my mood. I’m a very selfish person who can only
enjoy the good life. I can’t handle any hardships at all.”
Hiding behind his sses, a sinister look shed past Noah’s eyes as he spoke with a calm facade.
“You’re my wife. There’s no way I’ll let you suffer.”
“That’s more like it,” Stephanie replied as though she was his savior. “I’ll call Mom right away. I’ll tell her
I have pain in my abdomen and that it might be a sign of a miscarriage. There’s no way she won’t
answer the phone.”
He didn’t stop her.
The moment her call connected, she cried, “Mom, are you still in Machia? My belly’s in pain, and I’m
bleeding. The doctor said it could be a sign of a miscarriage. Can youe back and visit me? I’m a
little scared.”
“A sign of miscarriage? I’ll ask your brother and his wife to visit you right away. Your father and I will
immediately buy our return ticket, too. There’s no need to be afraid. You still have us.” Olivia sounded
worried.
Stephanie was still her daughter no matter how many bad things the former had done, and Olivia was
very worried when she heard that her daughter might have a miscarriage.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
“I only want you toe here, Mom. Even if Ameliaes, we won’t have anything to talk about. In
fact, we might even start to argue, which isn’t good for the baby,” Stephanie exined.
It wasn’t news to Olivia that her daughter didn’t have a good rtionship with Amelia. So, she said, “I’ll
buy my return ticket right away. What about Noah and the others? Since you’re experiencing symptoms
of miscarriage, is he there to take care of you?”
“He’s been by my side all this time. I’m just missing you, Mom. What do I do if I can’t keep my baby?”
“Stop talking nonsense. I’ve already asked someone to buy me the return ticket. Your father and I are
heading to the airport right now. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“Thank you, Mom. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Olivia hurriedly mumbled a response before hanging up the call.
“Did you see that, Noah? I told you. There’s no way my mom would ignore me if I need her help. As
long as she thinks my child’s safety is at risk, she’ll definitely agree to help me ask Oscar for support.
She only has one daughter, so she definitely can’t bear to see me suffer.”
Noah held her hand and said in an apologetic tone, “Thanks for doing this, Steph. I’m so useless for
needing your help. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you even better in the future.”
Surprisingly, she was being attentive and sweet for once. “Well, I can’t me you for this. I think my
brother is just trying to mess with you. I bet that b*tch Amelia was spouting nonsense in front of him.
Isabe was kicked out of Clinton Corporations because Amelia made a fuss about him kissing her.
Since you’re Isabe’s brother, I think the incident also affected you. That woman is a crafty one. If
we’re not careful, we’ll be ruined by her.”
“You’re so good to me, Steph. I feel so lucky to be able to marry you. I’ll definitely work hard and let you
live like a princess. Whenever I see you, I feel so very happy that it fills me with the motivation to work
harder. So, promise me you’ll stay by my side forever, okay?” Noah flirted.
“It’s good that you know. I’ll kick you out immediately if you don’t treat me nicely.” There was pride in
her tone.
He simply smiled at her affectionately.
