Reborn Without You Chapter 1126
It wasn't that Amelia didn't want to try. She was afraid.What had happened between her and Christopher had hurt too much. Being misunderstood and shut out had left scars that still warned her not to risk going through it all again.Christopher's depression only made everything feel heavier.She didn't know whether she was strong enough to handle it or whether a relationship carrying that much pain could ever truly work.For a long time, she said nothing.Then, she finally spoke. "Not every story gets a happy ending. Most people are left with regrets, and some things never really get resolved."Claire studied Amelia's profile but held back whatever she was about to say.-Amelia drove into the neighborhood and pulled up outside their house.She turned off the engine. The car fell quiet except for Evelyn's soft, steady breathing in the back seat.Amelia took a deep breath and turned to Claire. "Mom, I know you're trying to help, but some relationships can't be fixed just by

Nathan didn't think much of it. "Then we should study together sometime. Let's exchange numbers."The two children traded contact information before reluctantly saying goodbye.Lincoln left first with Nathan, followed by Jasper and Winona. Before he left, Jasper reminded Amelia, "Drive safe. Call me if you need anything."Soon, only Amelia, Evelyn, and Claire were left.Amelia drove them home while Evelyn sat in the back seat. Worn out from the long day, she soon fell asleep with her head resting against the seat, her breathing slow and steady.The car moved quietly through the night, streetlights sliding across the windows.Claire glanced back at Evelyn. Once she was sure the girl was asleep, she turned to Amelia."What's really going on between you and Christopher?" Her voice had turned serious. "Why did he show up at my birthday dinner? What does he want?"Amelia tightened her grip on the steering wheel."Have you forgotten what he put you through?" Claire asked, frustratio

Lincoln had no response to that.Christopher placed the gift box at the end of the table and fell silent. Without meaning to, he found himself looking at Evelyn.She kept her head down, her long lashes hiding her expression. He had no idea what she was thinking. A dull ache spread through his chest. He wanted to say something to her, but he didn't know where to start.Claire took a slow breath and pulled herself together. Then she smiled at the children. "Evie, Nathan, how about we have some cake?""Okay!" Evelyn answered quickly. She stole a glance at Christopher, then lowered her eyes again.Nathan nodded as well, though he kept looking over at Christopher every few moments, his expression uncertain.A server soon wheeled in Winona's cake, lit the candles, and dimmed the lights.The candlelight flickered across everyone's faces as Claire closed her eyes and made a wish. Everyone joined in to sing "Happy Birthday."Christopher watched Claire in the glow of the candles, Ameli

The door slammed behind Jonathan, leaving the room in stunned silence.No one moved. Even the children stayed quiet, watching Claire's furious expression.Winona had just opened her mouth to say something when the door opened again.Christopher, dressed in a black overcoat, stood in the doorway, tall and composed. The cold of the late fall night seemed to follow him inside, and he carried a sleek gift box in one hand.His gaze moved around the room before settling on Amelia."Happy birthday, Claire." His voice was calm and unreadable. "I heard you were celebrating tonight, so I wanted to stop by."Claire's expression, already tense from Jonathan's visit, hardened even further. She had barely gotten rid of one unwelcome guest, and now another man who had caused her daughter so much pain had appeared. Holding back her anger, she said, "You shouldn't be here."Amelia went still, her fork suspended halfway to her mouth. She never would have expected Christopher to show up uninvite

Claire accepted the drawing and tucked it carefully into her purse. "It's beautiful. I'm going to keep it forever."The mood in the room gradually relaxed. Claire seated Nathan and Evelyn on either side of her and asked about school and what they had been doing lately.Jasper and Lincoln joined in from time to time, while Winona kept the conversation flowing, so there were no awkward silences.Amelia watched her mother smile, and warmth spread through her chest.Whatever problems were waiting outside that room, having everyone together made them feel far away, at least for the moment.She poured her mother a drink. "Happy birthday, Mom. I hope this next year is a good one.""Thank you, sweetheart." Claire smiled as she accepted the glass. "That means a lot. As long as all of you are doing well, I'm happy."Evelyn quickly pulled out the scrapbook she had made and handed it over. "Grandma, this is my present for you. It has lots of pictures of us together, and I wrote messages on

Amelia stopped by a jewelry store and eventually chose a pair of mother-of-pearl bracelets. Their soft, luminous sheen reminded her of her mother's quiet, gentle nature.When she got home, Evelyn was hard at work at her desk, surrounded by construction paper, glue, and glitter."Mommy, you're back!"Evelyn looked up with a dab of glue on her cheek and excitement in her eyes. "I'm making Grandma a birthday present. It's a scrapbook of all the things we've done together."Amelia walked over and flipped through the carefully arranged pages. Some of the photos showed Claire taking Evelyn to the park, while others captured them baking together. Every page was filled with happy memories.She smoothed a hand over her daughter's hair. "Grandma's going to love it."Claire had never liked being the center of attention, and she had made it clear that she didn't want a big celebration this year. All she wanted was a quiet dinner with the family.Amelia reserved a private room at a nearby re

Amelia didn't care about that. Instead, she walked right into the ward with the bag of supplements in hand. "Tell him that my mom doesn't need these things."Nicole stared at the supplements on the table and blinked. "Aren't these the supplements my mom didn't want?" she said in surprise. "Chri

Luke saw Amelia sign her name without any hesitation, which sent some of his assumptions crumbling.The next second, however, he thought that she must be playing hard to get as part of her scheme. They weren't actually getting their divorce certificate from the clerk's office, after all.He chuckl

"Why should I?"Amelia looked at Christopher's cold, hard face. "Christopher Zephyr, what right do you have to command me?"She turned and looked icily at Tania. "If this happens again, I won't let you off with just a simple slap."With that threatening look on her face, Amelia looked excepti

Amelia was clearly rejecting Christopher.The contract only stated that she couldn't reveal the fact that they had been married and were now divorced. It didn't require her to return to their marital home and put up an act with him.Christopher said nothing and put his hand down."Chris, let Ms.
