Chapter 273 : Your time has come

Christian

I stare at the envelope for a moment and I can't believe it yet.

"You should have reached me, Christian", John says. "I wouldn't even know you're going through such a bad phase if I didn't overview everything last night", he sighs.

"You were already going through a lot. It would be a selfish move to ask for help", I reply.

He cackles and I don't know how he's managing to be so composed even after being aware of all those harsh truths.

"That wouldn't be selfish because you had to go through a lot due to Thea and me", he says, disappointment visible in his tone.

"No. It was not because of you", I strongly disagree. You fulfilled the duties of a spouse", I tell him.

He just nods and passes us a painful smile.

I look at Ivanna finally as she leans against my shoulder, lovingly smiling at me. Our grips get tighter and I whisper to her, "you always said everything is going to be fine"

"It's fine", she whispers back and I kiss her forehead, looking around at the happy faces.
