Too Much to Bear, My Love - Season 2 Episode 1

“Granddad, I respect you so much. I didn’t expect you…” Carter clenched his fists. His voice sounded slightly hurt.”

Abel sighed, “Carter, you are almost thirty. Your granddad is already old. Since your other relatives don’t possess your talents, you will inherit the entire Scott family. So your marriage can only be an arranged marriage. Choose the right wife, and she can take your career to the next level.”

“Granddad, I am capable of growing our business by myself. I don’t need a princess of a lady to be the icing on the cake. If you trust me, you won’t force me like this.”

After a pause, he continued, “Granddad, I didn’t come here today to fight with you and Mom. I want to let you know that if you want me to get married, you shouldn’t get involved in my marriage.”

After finishing speaking, he left firmly without looking back.

“Carter, come back here now.” Mrs. Scott roared savagely.

“Stop calling him. Let him leave.” Abel waved his hand and murmured.

Mrs. Scott complained, “Dad, this boy is getting out of his way. If you continue to indulge him like this, not only me, but I’m afraid he won’t even listen to you.”

Abel chuckled profoundly. “He has the same style as me during the old days. He looks gentle but is stubborn in his bones. Don’t worry about it. I believe he will be able to handle his work and relationship well. Since he doesn’t like the daughter of the Larsons, let it be then. There are many wealthy young ladies out there. It doesn’t have to be that Larson girl.”

Mrs. Scott tried hard to control the rage inside her. “I had made an agreement with the Larsons, and they had come back all the way from overseas just for this marital alliance. You want me to tell them that our boy has someone else in his heart and ask them to go back?”

“You caused this, so you should be the one to solve it.” Abel stood up. “I’m sleepy. Good night. You can solve the Larson’s affairs by yourself.”

He went upstairs right away, leaving Mrs. Scott alone on the sofa, stunned with confusion.

After Carter left the house, he drove like crazy on the road. He sped through several red lights and approached the riverside.

He shouldered down a box of beer he had bought on the road and sat solely by the river. He started to drink one bottle of them desperately. Gazing at the sparkling river surface under the moonlight, he could taste the bitterness of the beer.

Perhaps one was more likely to get drunk when in sorrow. Carter felt a little tipsy after only a few bottles of beer. He wanted to call the woman he loved.

He fished for his mobile phone and looked through his contacts. His finger froze on the contact name My Love. He hesitated for a long time but did not call her. Instead, he dialed Tiffany’s number.

The phone got through, and Tiffany’s sleepy and irritable voice traveled out of the speaker. “You better have something important. Otherwise, I will kill you for waking me from my beauty sleep.”

Hearing that, Carter’s fretful emotion seemed to fade a little.

“Tiffany, was Amelia having a hard time back then?” Carter’s voice was slightly drunk.

Tiffany yelled dryly on the phone and thundered, “Carter, you are a jinx. Are you calling in the middle of the night to ask such a tedious question? If there is nothing else, I will hang up.”

“Don’t hang up. I’m upset. Can you chat with me?”

Carter’s eyes were a bit red. He tipped over the beer bottle in his hands and drained every last drop of the toxic liquid.

Tiffany raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder. “Honestly, Amelia has never blamed you, so don’t blame yourself.”

Carter smiled bitterly and asked, “You said Amelia once liked me. Is that true?”

Tiffany nodded. “Amelia did like you, but it was a long time ago. Now she has her own family. Come on, man, try to find a woman that suits your heart and your family’s heart as soon as possible. Your effort of finding your Cinderella would be in vain if your family threw a monkey wrench into your plan.”

Carter’s heart was full of bitterness.

Tiffany patted him on the shoulder again like a brother. “Don’t think too much. You should let go like a man.”

Carter kept on drinking silently.

“It’s getting late. Let me take you back. If the news about you drunken be published, not only the shares of the Scott Group, I am afraid that it will even destroy the company you created.”

Carter still held a beer bottle in his hand, gazing at the river. “Please chat with me a little longer.”

Tiffany clasped her head in both hands. “Man, stop messing around. We are not fifteen anymore. If you miss a relationship, just start a new one. Even the supporting actor in love drama won’t be such a p*ssy.”

“Supporting actor?” Carter glanced at her. “So, in your eyes, I am just a supporting character in Amelia’s story.”

“Isn’t that true?” Tiffany shrugged casually. “The girl in the drama always loves the arrogant boss. And the nice handsome guy is always just a friend.”

Carter was left with a wry smile.

“Come on, jinx. Let’s go. It will be dawn in a few hours, and you still have to go to work tomorrow.”

Carter stood up, threw the bottle in his hand, and said, “Let’s go.”

They got in Tiffany’s car. Tiffany fastened her seat belt and asked, “Is it okay to leave your car here?”

“Tomorrow, I will ask someone to drive it back.”

“The tycoon’s life is indeed different. You can afford a new car anytime, so there is no big problem even if it is stolen.”

On the way, she started speaking. “Honestly, when I first met you, I had a good impression of you. With your appearance and your background, you are simply the Prince Charming for most girls. If it weren’t for your family or what happened later, I would agree for Amelia to be with you. Imagine you were the one that has a family of three with her.”

Carter leaned on the back seat and closed his eyes, hiding the agony in his eyes.

Tiffany did not speak anymore and drove the car intently. It took almost forty minutes to get to the area where Carter lived.
