LOGINSix years of marriage. All passion at night, but never tenderness in the daylight. Amelia Sinclair loved Christopher Zephyr deeply, and she swallowed the bitterness as if it were sweet. Her own daughter wasn't allowed to call him father, yet the son of his first love sat on his lap, learning to say the word "dad". The entire family treated that adopted boy as a precious heir, while her own flesh and blood was treated like a shameful stain. It wasn't until Amelia and her daughter paid with their lives—until Christopher signed the cremation papers with his own hand and then took the boy to attend his first love's welcome banquet—that Amelia finally understood. Love couldn't win love. A heartless man had no heart to give. When Amelia was reborn, she swore she would never again cling to that cold and humiliating marriage. In her past life, she had foolishly given up her studies, content to be a housewife and devote herself to her family. In this one, she submitted the divorce papers without hesitation, took her daughter far from the mire, and rebuilt her career until she stood at the top again. In the first week after Amelia left, Christopher dismissed it as one of her tantrums. By the first month, he brushed it off completely. It didn't matter to him what she did, so it was fine to let her go. Later on, he saw her again, standing tall among the industry's elite! Amelia was focused only on her career, and her daughter was focused only on finding herself a new father. And Christopher finally realized that they really didn't want him anymore. The man lost all reason. The one who had always been cold, proud, untouchable, suddenly threw away his dignity. He blocked the mother and daughter pair in full view of everyone, his voice breaking as he pleaded, "Honey, I'll kneel here if I have to. Please... just love me one more time."

He simply stared at Jayden, the look in his eyes calm.Jayden suddenly burst out laughing. “I see. I thought you really cared about nothing. You finally admit that you care for her.”Christopher scoffed, finding Jayden extremely hypocritical.There were some things that one didn’t need to admit or deny. They were carved into one’s bones and impossible to remove or cover up.Indeed, he couldn’t erase those traces left behind in his heart.Jayden stopped laughing and stood up, smoothing out his jacket. “Seems like you’re recovering pretty well. You still have the energy to argue with me over these things. Since you seem to know what you’re doing, I shan’t bother you from yo
Amelia no longer cared about Christopher. They no longer had anything to do with each other.-When Christopher woke up, he found himself in the hospital.The first thing that attacked his senses was the stinging smell of disinfectant in the air, which made him feel even more horrible.Christopher lifted a hand to rub his temples.“Nigel,” he said hoarsely.Nigel, who was taking a quick nap on the sofa bed, jumped awake. “You’re awake? How do you feel? Shall I call a doctor here?”“No need,” Christopher said as he glanced at the bedside table. “My laptop.”Nigel’s brows furrowed. “You barely woke up. The doctor said you must get some rest. As for work… Ms. Jessica said she really will wash her hands off you.”Jessica was furious this time, especially with a patient who refused to cooperate with her. Any doctor would feel deeply helpless.Christopher was her very first hurdle in her career thus far.“I told you to fetch my laptop,” Christopher said, cutting him off. His tone
“Where is this question of yours coming from?” Amelia asked Christopher.“I’ve warned you more than once not to humiliate Jayden and me like this.“You’ve been humiliating me like this ever since I asked for a divorce, looking down on both Evelyn and me. Yet now, you think you’re taking the initiative to get close to me while I’m rejecting you. You can’t understand why, so you think the reason is that I love your older brother?”“Christopher Zephyr, I’m busy at work right now. I don’t have time to fool around with you. I don’t want to talk about our personal affairs anymore.”Christopher looked on coldly as Amelia prattled on.“This is indeed not a good place for a chat. Come with me.”Everyone around them saw Christopher dragging Amelia away with him.Just then, Jayden stumbled in his footsteps, almost losing balance.Amelia didn’t want to go with Christopher in the first place. He was aggressive as usual and never took no for an answer.They had talked at great lengths to no
Meanwhile, Amelia was at the event, seated in the crowd listening to the presentations made onstage. Jayden was right next to her.Christopher’s face was cold when he saw them.The crew had assigned a seat to him and brought him there.Amelia was deeply engrossed in the presentation when she suddenly realized that someone was sitting down at the vacant seat next to her.The look on Jessica’s face changed when she saw the scene before her.Once again, Christopher chose not to take his medicine for this woman. Not for anything else, but for this woman right before him.Amelia was stunned when she realized that it was Christopher. She pretended not to see him and remained seated, not uttering a word.“You’ve always been close to Jayden. Now, you’re even attending events like this together.” His voice was hoarse, but he spoke in a leisurely tone.“Are you talking to me?” she asked. “Do I know another Amelia Sinclair?” Christopher asked.Amelia smirked but said nothing.
