Nicole smiled.

"Why won't they come? They should be fighting for a chance like this. Infotech is the trump card of the industry. They'd be able to learn a lot through interacting with our technical personnel. They wanted to participate in all those industry summits, right? Didn't they do it in the name of improving and learning?"

It didn't make sense for them to miss this dinner.

"Something cropped up at the last minute." Christopher's explanation was short and succinct.

    "You may hate me, but there are some things that are out of our control. I only want to minimize the damage I might bring to you and Evelyn."Amelia saw him panting weakly and noticed the sheen of sweat covering his forehead.She clenched her fists harder.Christopher went on."I can't remember the nights I couldn't sleep whenever I feigned cold indifference toward you two. Every time I got drunk, I would see you and could never hold my feelings back. I could put up a front, but I could never lie to myself. I could lie to everyone else, even you, but there were some people with malicious intents I couldn't fool. As long as I loved you, there would be a chance someone would be able to catch onto my weakness." He smiled bitterly. "No matter how heartless or vicious you are, I couldn't stop myself from loving you."Amelia felt something piercing through her heart. Pain spread across her entire body. Her heart clenched as something weighed heavily over it.Christopher looked down

    Amelia's body trembled.His question felt too heavy and demanded a response. He looked ready to give up his life if she were to say that it wasn't important.At that moment, Amelia could sense the torment and suffering Christopher was under.She took a deep breath and gently pushed him away. She looked straight into his eyes and said calmly and solemnly, "You're asking me if your life is important to me or not. Before that, I want to ask you this: Christopher, are mine and Evelyn's lives important to you?"She looked at the man before her and said with a smile, "Or let me ask it in another way. Am I and Evelyn important to you?"Christopher stood before her in silence.He remained silent for a long time.It was always this long silence and that deep dark gaze.Amelia chuckled coldly. "You can't even answer my question. What right do you have to ask me whether your life is important to me? What do you think? You already know the answer to that, don't you?"Over their many yea

    Amelia found something that resembled a guestroom. She laid Evelyn on the soft bed and tucked the girl into the sheets.After settling down Evelyn, Amelia walked to the windows and stared out into the night sky.She wondered what had happened to the fire at Whitmore Manor. No one had sent any news and she didn't know the situation right now.She didn't know the answer to all her questions.All she could do right now was wait.She knew very clearly that any careless move would only invite unnecessary trouble and even mess up someone's plans and make things even worse than they were right now.Amelia couldn't sleep and walked toward the desk. She reached a hand out to open the laptop on the desk.She needed to do something to distract herself from her all-consuming worries and fears.She dove straight into a series of data calculations, her fingers flying across the keyboard. The numbers on the screen kept jumping, giving her a sense of control she yearned for.Time passed by. B

    Shane's body stiffened, his eyes turning even darker. There was a hint of resistance in his voice as he reminded Jessica, "Ms. Reid, this isn't appropriate."Jessica ignored his concerns and leaned even closer to him. She looked up at his side profile and smirked playfully."Why not? You're my bodyguard. How are you going to protect me if you don't hold me when I'm injured?"Shane' face stiffened even more. He said sternly, "I failed to do what I was supposed to do. Please punish me, Ms. Reid.""Punish?" Jessica said with an arched brow as she challenged him, "I'll punish you by making you sleep with me for one night. What about that?"Shane bowed his head, avoiding Jessica's gaze entirely as he said in all seriousness, "Ms. Reid, please don't crack such jokes."Jessica burst out laughing. Mixed emotions flashed past her eyes when she saw how tense his jawline was."You want neither this nor that. My dad wants you to protect me, and this is how you do it? I got injured. Shouldn'

    Amelia looked at Evelyn who was fast asleep, her mind in a mess.What exactly was Christopher hiding? Did that fire really have something to do with him? Or was there something even more sinister lurking behind the scenes?After a long time, the car drove into a quiet manor.The manor was fronted by a huge, tall wrought iron gate with intricate carvings on it which gleamed in the dim light. Bodyguards stood at the gate. They immediately opened the door respectfully when they saw Shane at the wheel.The car inched along the driveway."We're here," Jessica said with a tinge of fatigue in her voice. Shane parked the car, stepped out and headed to the front passenger seat. He opened the door and stretched a hand out to help Jessica out of the car.She tried to slowly step out of the car by herself, leaning against the car door for support. However, the moment her feet planted on the ground, she stumbled and furrowed her brows in pain.That was when Amelia realized that Jessica's a

    Evelyn was still in a daze as she rubbed her eyes. She asked softly, "Mom, are we…are we going home?"Her voice felt like a feather brushing past Amelia's heart, which immediately softened.She looked down and planted a tender kiss on Evelyn's forehead. "Yes. Sleep a while more, won't you?"Evelyn nodded her head and yawned, curling up in Amelia's arms once more. Very soon, she was fast asleep again. Her cheeks were as red as a ripe apple.Amelia held Evelyn in her arms as she looked out the window.She could hardly see a thing, given how dark it was in the mountains. She wondered what was going on at Whitmore Manor right now.Was Christopher okay?Nigel had rushed off and sent no news. Every second that passed felt like a torture to her.She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.Now wasn't the time to let her imagination run wild. She had to keep Evelyn safe.This place was too near Whitmore Manor. No one knew if another incident would occur and Amelia didn't d
