LOGINAfter Winona sent the "okay" sticker, her expression turned serious.As soon as the screen went dark, she let out a slow breath.She had always seen this situation more clearly than anyone.She watched Amelia struggle to build a life with Evelyn. She watched Jasper quietly stay by their side. And then she watched Christopher come back, little by little, until the three of them slowly found their way back to each other.Winona knew Amelia cared deeply about Jasper and relied on him, but what she felt had never been romantic love.That was exactly why Amelia's request put her in such an awkward position.[Talk to him for me.]It sounded simple, but Winona knew it wasn't.What was she supposed to tell Jasper? That Amelia's heart had always belonged to Christopher? That no matter how long he waited, he never really had a chance?Those words felt too cruel. Winona couldn't bring herself to say them.Jasper wasn't a fragile man. He was steady and perceptive, decisive at work, gentl
After Christopher finished cleaning up, he came back into the living room and looked at Amelia."I need to stop by the office and take care of a few things with the project."Amelia nodded without asking anything else. She knew Fighter 07 had reached a critical stage, and there was still Samantha's mess to deal with. He couldn't exactly stay away.Still, she couldn't help thinking about how late he worked the night before, and how he still spent the whole day with Evelyn.They stood a few feet apart in the middle of the living room, neither of them quite ready to move."If you need anything, call me." Christopher looked at her. "Anytime."Amelia lifted her eyes to meet his. A faint smile touched her lips. "Next time you see your doctor, take me with you."Christopher froze, clearly caught off guard.After a few seconds, he said, "It's not that serious. You don't need to come with me."He never wanted Amelia worrying about his condition.The pain of depression, the late-night
From the moment Christopher saw Samantha's message, he had no intention of letting Amelia get involved.Samantha played dirty, and once things turned openly hostile, there was no telling how far she might go.He had already sent people to trace the fake evidence and was close to figuring out how Samantha bribed the witnesses. Give him three days, and he could tear the whole setup apart.Amelia shrugged. "If you think you have that much time on your hands, go ahead. I'm not stopping you."Christopher looked at her steadily.Then she smiled. "But do you really have that much time?"Before he could answer, she continued, "You want to bring Elijah down, but he's spent years building influence across the industry. His connections run deep. A couple of attacks aren't going to be enough."Christopher stayed quiet. She was right.Elijah had held onto his position for so long because of the complicated network of people and interests behind him. A few isolated blows wouldn't shake his f
Amelia set down her fork, her fingers tightening until her knuckles turned white. "Elijah's already under house arrest, and Samantha still wants to make things worse for him now?"Samantha clearly thought this would be enough to destroy Amelia, but she had badly underestimated Amelia.Amelia had nothing to hide when it came to that competition. Every technical parameter and every line of code came from countless sleepless nights and her own hard work.Nicole lost because her project had serious flaws that couldn't be fixed. Amelia had nothing to do with that.Samantha was digging up the past because she was desperate. She wanted Amelia out of the way so Lincoln could move forward, and she also wanted revenge for Amelia getting in the way of the Bloom family's plans.Christopher watched her calm expression, something shifting inside him."Aren't you scared?" he asked.Even if Amelia eventually cleared her name, Samantha could still do real damage by releasing the accusations pu
Once breakfast was ready, Christopher and Amelia carried everything to the table.As Evelyn ate, she kept sneaking glances at Christopher.To her, all of this still felt almost too good to be true.Her father was really here with her. Something she had wished for so many times had finally happened.Maybe she wouldn't have to keep waiting for him to notice her anymore. Maybe this time, he really did love her.Evelyn kept those thoughts to herself and quietly ate her breakfast.Just then, Christopher's phone chimed. A message from Samantha popped up.[I have evidence that can destroy Amelia's career for good.]Christopher's expression instantly turned cold. He opened the message and pulled up the attached files.Inside were several pieces of so-called evidence, including fake bank records that supposedly showed Amelia bribing judges during a competition years ago.There were also several heavily edited chat logs that made it look like Amelia had talked about bribing the judges
Jasper pulled out his phone, deleted the message he had already typed, and let out a quiet sigh.Maybe letting go really was the right thing to do.If Amelia was happy, and Evelyn could finally have both her parents in her life, maybe that was enough.Meanwhile, Christopher carried the bags upstairs.The toys rattled softly inside, and the pastries gave off a faint sweet smell. They were all small signs of how much Jasper cared about Amelia and Evelyn.Christopher unlocked the door and stepped inside. Evelyn's laughter immediately reached him from the living room.Amelia was in the kitchen with an apron tied around her waist, while Evelyn ran around in a pink princess dress, clutching a stuffed bear."Daddy!"The moment she saw Christopher, her face lit up, and she ran straight toward him.Christopher set the bags down, bent down, and scooped her into his arms. As soon as she settled against him, some of the tension in his body eased."Slow down. You're going to trip." His vo
Amelia pondered for a moment.She hadn't given this much thought since she had been so busy recently. She didn't want to give deep thought to anything related to the Zephyrs."What do you think?" Jasper asked, his brows knitted.Amelia's mind was in a mess.Nicole had fallen, and Christopher was
Some people at the scene couldn't stand it any longer.Someone said coldly, "Your daughter failed to snag Christopher and even ruined his marriage. Quit being so shameless and clinging onto them.""Exactly! No matter how great a debt they owe you, it's all repaid. I've never seen such a greedy and
Tania shut her eyes tight and brought Nathan into the car.Nathan's brows were tightly knitted. "This car is too small. I don't want to be in this car. Dad always gives me the best and most luxurious cars."Tania's heart fell. "Things are different now. You're no longer the young master of the Zep
But Christopher was no ordinary man.He wasn't led by lust. No matter how hard Nicole tried to exude charm, she always failed.This troubled her deeply.She knew that Christopher liked her. The deeper a man's love for a woman, the more he would treasure her and not pounce on her that way.There
