Chapter 686

Author: Goldfish
Gerald looked calmly at Jayden and said nothing, gesturing for him to go on talking.

"I want to marry Amelia. Chris is agreeable to it."

The moment Jayden said so, Gerald slapped him hard on his cheek.

Jayden stuck his tongue in his cheek and looked up at his father. Gerald had struck him so hard, his cheek felt numb.

Gerald's face was cold and solemn.

"Outrageous!" he yelled, his chest heaving with agitation. "Do you have any idea what you're saying?"

Jayden stood tall and straight. "I kn

  • Reborn Without You   Chapter 714

    Amelia felt her blood turning cold.She could still see the dagger on the floor. She realized that someone was indeed watching her from the dark.All those times she felt as though she was being watched wasn't her thinking too much. It was true.This time round, Amelia didn't object to Christopher and followed him. They soon found themselves in a room.Amelia's mind was in a mess.She considered many possibilities and many people, wondering who would harbor such animosity against her. She simply couldn't figure things out.She didn't offend anyone, not even at work. If she had really offended someone, she wouldn't be so clueless.The lights were bright in the room. She could clearly see the look on Christopher's face. He looked even colder than usual. He was still all dressed in black, exuding an icy aura.Amelia quickly straightened out her thoughts and threw out her questions. "Who was that? Were you the target, or me?"There was a mental tug-of-war in her head.On one

    Amelia took a deep breath and looked at the man before her with knitted brows.She was locked in his embrace and could clearly hear his heartbeat and breathing. He felt so familiar, yet so foreign.Christopher stared at a spot for a long time, and Amelia couldn't help but follow his gaze. But she saw nothing, just emptiness.By the time she retracted her gaze, the man had released her.Amelia furrowed her brows, suddenly sensing something. She looked in the same direction again, but there was nothing. She clearly felt something that made her hair stand on end."Is there someone there?" she asked him. Someone must be watching them, which was why he kept looking in that direction. He released her because that person had left.Christopher stood calmly before her, the look in his eyes dark as he remained silent. At his silence, Amelia felt anxiety grow in her chest."Speak."Amelia's gaze darkened, her patience at an all-time low at a time like this.She had to admit that she fe

    Jayden's eyes darkened. "That's harsh, Mr. Langley.""Faithful words grate upon the ear. Mia has been through a lot. What makes you think she should restrict herself with marriage? Or do you think that women must eventually be tied down by marriage, no matter how successful and outstanding they are in their careers?" Jasper went on. "Must she marry another man after her divorce? She barely managed to make it out of the Zephyr family. Even if she considers marriage in the future, would she really want to marry another Zephyr?"Jayden fell silent, instinctively clenching his hands that were resting on the table. He moved his lips to say something, but the words never left his lips."Aren't you exerting pressure on her by doing these things? Love isn't possession, but respect. You've never considered her perspective, and I can't tell that you really love her," Jasper said solemnly.Jayden took a deep breath. "I didn't consider that. I just want to build a strong foundation for our

    These things seemed to be pushing their relationship into the spotlight.It seemed as though many people wanted to know if they were currently on good terms or not.If Jayden really wanted to know, he could always ask Amelia directly. There was no need for him to bring this up at such a function.The banquet hadn't yet officially started, and everyone at the table went off to do their own things after exchanging a few pleasantries.Jayden remained at the table.He had just returned and hadn't had the chance to grow his network, although some people in the industry had already heard his name."You wouldn't mind if I called you on a first name basis, would you?" Jasper asked."Why would I? You're young and talented, it'd be an honor to have you address me by my name," Jayden said with a chuckle.Jasper responded with a smile. "You seem keen to develop your career here. I have my own network here as well. If you face any difficulties, feel free to come to me and I'll be generous w

    Caleb had foresight and knew what he had to do."I thought you wouldn't want to work with us anymore after we rejected you so many times, Mr. Newton," Jasper said. "Not at all. I even dream of having drinks with you. I'm just waiting for you two to give me the chance." Caleb raised his glass, smiling. "Take this as an apology for my mistake in the past. I was blinded by what others said, and I caused harm upon you. It's your decision to forgive me or not, but apologizing is something I should do."With that, he tipped his head back and finished the wine in his glass.Amelia looked at Caleb.He was a man who dared to bear the consequences of his actions.He was Christopher's friend, but seldom joined in their gatherings. He was often busy with work. In fact, he seldom participated in private gatherings and was always in his office, burying himself in work.The Newtons had many companies under their wing. Caleb always had a lot of work to do.He was fully capable of handling the

    Christopher's words effectively shifted the target back to Jayden.Jayden put his glass down. "We're just cracking jokes."Lincoln wouldn't put Jayden in a difficult spot, since they were partners. Instead, he turned his attention to Amelia. "It's time for us to discuss our collaboration for the next quarter. Can we find a time to talk in private after the banquet?"He blatantly asked Amelia out in front of everyone at the table.She had been drugged during another dinner with Linoln.He appeared to be interested in her, but probably had an ulterior motive.He appeared suave and exceptionally gentle, always mild-mannered in his speech and behavior. He was also extremely considerate."You can talk to me about future collaborations instead. Ms. Sinclair is in-charge of technical issues," Jasper said.After he found out about the drugging, he wouldn't dare let Amelia talk to Lincoln alone. He would make sure to be present at every discussion about future collaborations. If he co

    Christopher lifted a hand and rubbed his temple lazily, as if it didn't matter. "Set up some bath water for me, and get something to sober me up."Amelia looked at him, her eyes brimming with scorn.What did he think she was? A free maid, a cheap laborer to have his children and take care of his

    Amelia still kept some clothes in Whitmore Manor.Just as she closed the door, she ran into Stephanie passing by the courtyard gate."Mia," Stephanie called, holding a large umbrella as she strode toward the door. "Where's Chris? Not with you?"Amelia knew perfectly well this was just a deliberat

    Amelia sneered inwardly.The entry code had long been changed, and coming back now was nothing short of self-humiliation. The marriage wasn't over, yet in this house, she was already little more than a guest.Amelia hummed and didn't bother explaining anything to Anna. Her mind was focused on the

  • Reborn Without You   Chapter 50

    Christopher left with Nicole and Alfred for the conference room, and not once did he look at Amelia.It was as if they were strangers who had never known each other. Maybe he hadn't even noticed she was there. But even if he had, he wouldn't have spared her a glance. That was the truth of what th
