Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 721 I Want Her To Know

On the weekend, Stephanie barged into the room and shook Isabella awake. Isabella had a habit of getting into a

bad mood whenever she was rudely awakened, and she was just about to rip Stephanie’s head off when she

remembered her family’s instructions.

The Walker family had instructed her to bond well with Stephanie, and thus Isabella could only swallow her anger.

“What’s wrong, Steph?” Isabella asked as she tried to suppress her fury.

“The weather is beautiful today, Isabella. Let’s go shopping and buy all kinds of designer bags. After that, we can go

and search for delicious food. I have wanted your brother to accompany me, but he has to work. All he knows is to

work. He doesn’t even have time to spend with me,” Stephanie said as she got more annoyed by the second.

Isabella reached for her phone and noticed that it was barely nine in the morning. She was really going to go crazy

because of Stephanie.

“Steph, it’s not even nine yet. Why are you awake so early?” Isabella knew that normally, Stephanie would sleep in

till eleven.

“After getting pregnant, I’ve become a light sleeper. When your brother woke up this morning, I was also awakened.

Hurry up, Isabella. I’m giving you half an hour’s time to get ready, and we’ll head to The Urban Delight for

breakfast. Recently, your brother has been taking me there to have meals,” Stephanie announced firmly.

Once Stephanie walked out of the room, Isabella could not help but punch her bed in anger. To her, Stephanie was

the family’s nemesis. She had been ordering people around as if they were her servants.

However, no matter how unwilling and frustrated Isabella was, she still got up and headed to the bathroom to get

ready before going downstairs.

Stephanie instantly grabbed Isabella’s hand and ran out of the house after bidding Carol a simple goodbye. When

Carol saw that, her heart nearly leaped out of her chest as she quickly called out after the running duo, “You’re still

pregnant, Steph! Be careful and don’t run so fast!”

But it seemed that Stephanie did not hear her at all.

The both of them drove over to The Urban Delight, which was a high-end breakfast place. There were many

different types of cuisines offered, and they were all deliciously made with high-quality ingredients. However, the

downside was that it was very expensive. Therefore, only rich people and higher income groups would frequent the

place. People who earned normal wages could only stop and look.

Once they arrived at the restaurant, Stephanie and Isabella walked in through the doors. Just as Isabella stepped

foot into the restaurant, her sharp eyes caught onto Noah, who was having a meal with Emma. In just a split

second, she quickly pulled Stephanie back.

Stephanie was surprised at her sudden action. “What are you doing, Isabella?” she said exasperatedly.

“I think there’s another delicious breakfast spot nearby. Let’s go there instead. It’s been so long since I was there,

and I really miss the food,” Isabella quickly said. “I really want to eat it, Steph. Since you’re my sister-in-law, do you

mind treating me to a meal?”

Stephanie hesitated for a moment before replying, “I really want to eat the food here today. I’ll follow you to the

other restaurant tomorrow instead.” Upon speaking, she pushed away Isabella’s hand and walked back into the

restaurant. Isabella’s heart jumped, but after scanning the crowd, Noah and Emma were nowhere to be found. It

was only then that she breathed a sigh of relief.

If Stephanie were to see the two together, a war might break out in the Walker residence again.

With Stephanie’s stubbornness, Isabella was sure that she would create a huge ruckus in the Walker residence.

Stephanie took a plate and went to get some food. She then turned to Isabella and asked, “Aren’t you getting

anything, Isabella?”

“You go on ahead, Steph. I need to use the restroom.”

Stephanie nodded in response.

Isabella quickly walked away and entered the restroom. She then called Noah.

Once the call was connected, she hurriedly spoke into it. “Noah, are you with Emma right now? How did I know? I

saw you just now. Steph is in The Urban Delight now so you’d better chase that woman away. If Steph finds out

about you and her, it would not matter if your image as a good husband is ruined, but everything that you have

done so far might be for nothing.”

After a brief pause, Noah replied something that made Isabella angry. “I can’t take Steph away. Don’t you know that

I wouldn’t be able to do anything even as her sister-in-law once she’s determined on doing something? You have

spoiled her so much, and now you’re blaming me? How dare you put the blame on me when you’re the one in the

wrong. I’ll leave it to you. Goodbye.”

After she hung up the call, Isabella exited the restroom.

On the other side, Noah was holding onto his phone as his face darkened. “Let’s go, Emma.”

“What’s wrong?” Emma noticed that there was still a lot of food left on the table. “We haven’t even finished eating

yet. It’s been so long since we last spent time together, and you’re not even willing to have breakfast with me?”

“We’ll go somewhere else to eat,” Noah said as patiently as he could. “Steph is here too. She can’t see us.”

Emma looked at him, conflicted. “Tell me the truth, Noah. Have you fallen in love with her? You never used to be so

nervous about anyone. Even if you’re just using her, you shouldn’t be treating her so gently. Tell me. Have you

forgotten about our vow?” she said after a brief moment of hesitation.

Noah was getting impatient, and he said in a stern tone, “What are you talking about? You know that you’re the

only one I love.”

Emma’s lips curled into a small smile. “Are you telling the truth, Noah?”

Noah frowned in response. “Stop fooling around, Emma. Everything that I’m doing right now is for our future. Once

I become more influential and powerful, only then will I be able to give you the best.”

When Emma heard his words, she could not help but scoff in her heart. It seemed that Noah still thought that she

was the same innocent girl from eight years ago. Emma had given him the best part of her youth, but he ended up

marrying Stephanie instead. In the end, Emma became his mistress.

Oscar is right. Noah could not be trusted for all he cared about is himself. His love for me never comes before his

personal benefits and gains. There may not even be love in the first place.

Don’t blame me for being harsh, Noah. As long as I can create hell for the Walker family, the money that Oscar

promised can guarantee a long and happy life for me. It’s every man for himself, Noah. Don’t blame me, but blame

yourself for not being to give me a perfect home. I will not be a mistress for the rest of my life, especially since I

won’t be able to get the life I desired with you.

“What are you thinking about, Emma?” Noah said with a hint of fury in his voice.

Emma snapped back to reality and smiled. “Nothing. I’m just curious about what your wife is like, considering that

she’s able to tame you so well.”

Noah’s eyes glinted viciously. “Don’t you dare go to find her.”

“Why? Are you afraid that I will say anything to her?”

“No. I’m just afraid that she might hurt you if she gets angry. You know that you’re the most important person in my

life.”

Emma smiled, but her heart was cold.

The man in front of her was extremely skilled with his words. He was able to melt any woman’s heart with sweet

sentences. However, it doesn’t cost anything to woo someone with words, and anyone could do it. Only dumb

women would believe them.

A man who really loved you would not only tell you with his words. He would them into action.

A sweet smile appeared on Emma’s face. “I know you love me the most, Noah.”

“Let’s go.”

“I’ll head to the restroom for a moment. I’ll be back soon.”

Noah nodded in response.

Once Emma left the table, she deliberately walked around the restaurant. Before long, she spotted Isabella, and

she walked over with a smile. “Hello, Isabella.”

When Isabella noticed Emma’s sudden appearance, her eyes flashed with caution as she abruptly stood up. She

looked at Emma and gave her a warning look.

Stephanie looked up at Emma and said, “Is this your friend, Isabella?”

Before Isabella could reply, Emma smiled. “I’ve known Isabella for years now. I guess you can call us best friends.

Who’s this, Isabella? Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

“Hello, I’m Isabella’s sister-in-law. Have you had breakfast? Why don’t you join us?” Stephanie offered as she

pointed at an empty spot at their table.

“Oh, so you’re Noah’s wife? I didn’t manage to make it to his wedding as I was out of town. I have always been

curious about who he married. However, once I saw you, I knew why he wanted to marry you. Both of you are

made for each other,” Emma praised.

Isabella only looked at her coldly.

Stephanie nodded. “You’re right. Noah’s extremely lucky to have married me.”

Emma’s lips twitched.

“Would you like to join us?” Stephanie offered again.

“Oh, there’s no need for that. I’m going to the restroom. My boyfriend is still waiting for me. I’ll be going now,”

Emma replied.

Stephanie nodded.

Once Emma left, Isabella found an excuse to go to the restroom as well.

“What are you trying to do, Emma? If she knows that you’re with my brother, don’t you know how much trouble

she will cause my family? Don’t you know your place? Did my brother spoil you too much?” Isabella immediately

started scolding Emma once she entered the restroom.

Emma was standing in front of the mirror as she replied, “I was only curious what your brother’s wife looks like. I’ve

been by Noah’s side for so many years, but he had never once given me a proper title. Now that he’s married,

can’t I even take a look at his wife?”

“I’m warning you, Emma. Don’t you dare fool around! Once she knows about you, I’ll make sure you regret it.”

Emma only looked at Isabella blankly. “I know. I am more well-behaved than you are. After all, I’m only a woman

that your brother keeps to entertain him. I will never be brought into the light.”

Isabella furrowed her eyebrows at Emma’s words.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Walker. I know my place, and I won’t simply appear in front of her. Besides, I’m still relying on

your brother to take care of me, right?”

“Good that you know.” “Don’t worry. I always know.”

Isabella snorted and left the restroom. Staring at her leaving silhouette, Emma laughed coldly. “Don’t be too smug,

Isabella. The more you don’t want me to be close to her, the more I will.

I’m anticipating the day she knows the truth. Since the Walker family is not willing to acknowledge me, I’ll be sure to

make each and every one of you suffers in living hell.”
