Too Much to Bear My Love

Jennifer’s emotions were like a roller-coaster, her chest heaving in agitation. “I’m making a scene? Carter

Scott, you’re the most cold-blooded man I’ve ever met!” she howled.

Carter acted as if he only saw her distress as an annoyance.

Tiffany hurried forward and held onto Jennifer’s arm. “Ms. Larson, calm down,” she urged. “I had no

intention to involve myself with your grievances with Carter Scott. But I can’t stand to watch you lose

control. Calm down, calm down. Screaming like a shrew wouldn’t do anything to the fact that he doesn’t

love you.”

Had she not mention the last sentence, it would’ve been fine. As soon as she said so, Jennifer’s face

scrunched up, her eyes filled with wrath as she glared straight into Tiffany’s eyes.

Tiffany flinched and subconsciously took two steps back. “Ms. Larson, calm down. Don’t act hastily. It

doesn’t make you look good.”

Against her intention, Tiffany’s words were like pouring petrol into burning flames. Jennifer’s anger only

increased, her chest heaving harder and harder.

Jennifer pointed her index finger at Tiffany and yelled, “Tiffany Winters! Who do you think you are? I am

speaking with Carter Scott. Why do you have to interrupt?”

Tiffany wasn’t angry. In fact, she smiled, responding in a gentle tone, “Ms. Larson, don’t misunderstand.

I’m merely a passer-by. I’m only interrupting for your own good. Men do not like women who are too

assertive and unreasonable. Even if he loves the woman, he’ll eventually get sick of it. Therefore, I’m

advising you to calm down.”

Jennifer only felt worse. The hand she used to point at Tiffany trembled.

Amelia tugged at Tiffany’s sleeves and shook her head. They were in a hospital ward. She didn’t want

Tiffany’s words to provoke Jennifer further as Carter didn’t look so well. If it were to reach the point of no

return, the Scotts might not be able to provide a reasonable explanation.

Tiffany took a glance at Amelia and obediently swallowed back the words in her mouth.

Jennifer turned to glare at Amelia, deciding she might as well go all out there and then. “Amelia Winters,

I had enough of you pretending to be a good person. The more innocent you make yourself to be, the

more I detest you! Is feigning innocence your trick of getting everything? Otherwise, how did Carter lose

his way because of you?”

Amelia merely listened to Jennifer’s rants in silence.

Tiffany’s face turned ugly. She pulled Amelia behind her and said, “Jennifer Larson, will you not speak in

such a crude way? Amelia’s a married person. She’ll give birth to her child very soon. She had no

relationship with the jinx from the beginning. You couldn’t make him love you. Don’t blame your lack of

charm on someone else!”

“Amelia Winters, you’re incredible! No matter where you are, you could make anyone protect you!

Everyone’s so afraid that you’ll lose even a single strand of hair!” Jennifer glared furiously at Amelia. “I

have to bow down to you. Your expert ways to manipulate everyone are truly spectacular.”

Tiffany sneered, retorting, “Manipulate? The reason why everyone tries to protect her is that she treats

her friends wholeheartedly! That alone should prove her character. Unlike Ms. Larson, other than your

beauty, I can’t seem to find any other good traits on you.”

Jennifer lifted her hands with reddened eyes, her stance as if she was about to get into a physical fight.

Before her fists could reach Tiffany, a loud crash sounded from the bed. All three women flinched.

They turned toward the source of the noise only to see Carter had fallen onto the floor. Jennifer

immediately hurried over and helped him up carefully. She said distressedly, “Carter Scott! Will you only

be satisfied after ruining your body?”

But Carter acted as if he didn’t hear her. He looked toward Amelia and asked, “Are you all right?”

Jennifer looked terrible when she heard him utter those four words.

Do you have to keep reminding me that you feel nothing for me?

As if venting her hatred, Jennifer shoved Carter onto the bed with no concern for his condition. He fell

onto the soft mattress and let out a painful groan.

Tiffany and Amelia rushed up to him. Amelia asked worriedly, “Carter, are you all right?”

Tiffany glared at Jennifer. “Jennifer Larson, what did you do that for? He has yet to recover fully. Aren’t

you worried about hurting him?”

Jennifer’s gaze looked tortured. She raised her chin and feigned arrogance as she replied, “Isn’t he

fine?”

Tiffany shook her head. It’s no wonder Carter didn’t fall for you despite all your efforts.

“If you truly love someone, you should first learn to exercise restraint on your temper,” Tiffany said.

Jennifer froze. She instinctively turned to look at Carter, only to see him clutching Amelia tightly, his gaze

gentle and affectionate.

She clenched her fists, her fury reignited. “Carter Scott!” she yelled with all her strength.

A single shout made Tiffany, who stood the nearest to her, jump back in shock.

Carter turned to look indifferently at Jennifer and said, “I’m sorry, Jennifer. You’ll meet someone who

loves you one day, but that person isn’t me.”

“You’ve never even attempted to let me in! How could you be so sure you’ll never love me?” she

screamed.

Carter sighed. “As I said, I’m grateful that you took care of me. But grateful isn’t love. I won’t deny you’re

a charming woman. Many men would kill for someone like you. However, there’s already someone in my

heart. I don’t have a heart big enough for another person. I’m sorry.”

“Is this woman really worth it?” Jennifer pointed at Amelia and said indignantly.

Carter’s mouth curved into a gentle smile. “She deserves everything and so much more.”

The pain Jennifer was feeling had hit its limit. “Am I not as pretty as her?”

Carter shook his head. “You’re both vastly different women. Once you’ve fallen in love with someone, no

matter how outstanding others are, you wouldn’t be bothered. This is why I can’t reciprocate your

feelings. It isn’t because you’re not good enough, but because I only have space for one person in my

heart,” he said honestly.
