Chapter 125,Love You Enough to Leave You

“I’m still not his girlfriend for now, but I will be soon.” Jennifer regained her confidence swiftly. “You don’t even like Carter. Stop giving him hope before leaving without looking back.” Amelia found her words funny. She had never given Carter any hope. Previously, she might’ve overstepped the boundaries by asking Carter to recommend her a job, but he was the only person she knew who wasn’t afraid of Oscar’s influence. She only ended up contacting him after thorough deliberation. Indeed, she had the thought of manipulating Carter, but that was about it.

They had been separated for five years. No matter how deep their love was back then, it would’ve faded away with time. After all, time and tide wait for no man. Their feelings couldn’t stand the test of time. When Amelia reached out to Carter, she thought Carter no longer loved her. Besides, the man had never confessed his feelings to her. She had no idea he still loved her dearly after all these years. If she knew, she wouldn’t have contacted him in the first place. Sometimes, it would be better to keep one’s feelings to oneself. Making things clear would only cause awkwardness on both sides.

It was practically impossible to revive her feelings in the past. “Ms. Larson, you must’ve gotten it wrong. I wasn’t the one who dumped him,” explained Amelia. “Yes, I loved him back then, but he was the one who took off. I don’t know whether he loved me back then. Perhaps he realized his feelings for me after his departure. I’m not trying to defend myself. I just think that you shouldn’t hold a grudge over this if you are to be his future girlfriend or wife.” Jennifer stared at her without a word. Taking the spoon, Amelia started stirring her coffee again.

Aside from the initial sip she took, her coffee remained untouched. “Ms. Larson, if that was what you wanted to say, I don’t think it was necessary. Carter and I are friends, nothing else. If he doesn’t want to be friends anymore, I can stop contacting him. But if he thinks of me as a friend, I will still keep in touch with him.” Standing up, Amelia took her bag. “The coffee’s on me, Ms. Larson. I need to prepare lunch for my husband. Please excuse me.” Suddenly, Jennifer grabbed Amelia’s hand, causing the latter to freeze in astonishment. She immediately retorted angrily, “Ms. Larson, what are you doing?”

Jennifer swallowed nervously and choked out, “Amelia, please come with me and visit Carter in hospital.” Amelia was taken aback by her sudden request. After removing her shades, bitterness flitted across Jennifer’s gaze. “Amelia, sit down. Others might think I’m trying to bully you,” she uttered. Amelia sat down obediently and studied the woman sitting across from her carefully. At once, Jennifer wore her shades again to hide the emotions in her eyes. “Amelia, I’m not trying to be your friend. I’m doing this for Carter’s sake. I despise you, so there’s no way I’ll let you appear in his sight if possible. I have no other choice as I love him.” She sighed. “Back then, I used to enjoy being adored by other men.

If I’m in a good mood, I’ll flash a smile. Otherwise, I’ll just ignore them. After meeting Carter, who is the bane of my life, I kept caving in. Others might think I’m intimidating, but my pride is crushed into dust whenever I’m with him. This time, I came to ask for your help because of him, too.” Amelia remained unfazed. Those who fell in love first were destined to be on the losing side. They would sacrifice willingly, without asking for anything in return. They would allow their pride to be crushed into dust, no matter how proud they used to be. Unrequited love was the worst of all. Those who had a secret crush could only sacrifice for their loved ones silently and end up being disappointed.

“We’re not that close, Ms. Larson,” said Amelia as she stirred her coffee. “I don’t care whether you love Carter. I’m also not interested in your love story.” Jennifer folded her arms arrogantly. Even though she was asking for Amelia’s help, she still acted like she was above everyone else. “Amelia, you’ve got it wrong. I’m not boasting about my love story. I just want you to know how generous I am,” she uttered haughtily. Suddenly, Amelia let out a chuckle. Jennifer puts on a pompous front because she doesn’t want anyone to see the fragile side of her.
