Amelia didn’t understand Christopher, just as she didn’t understand why he was suddenly being so warm to her and how he was able to maintain such composure even at a time of crisis like this.

Amelia reached home in the evening.

She prepared some food for Evelyn but didn’t have much of an appetite herself.

Evelyn could tell that Amelia wasn’t in a good mood and decided not to disturb her.

It doesn’t hurt that much anymore.”Amelia looked at her and rubbed her head affectionately, her heart aching for her.Evelyn soon fell asleep.The hands on the clock ticked by.At nine o’clock, she got up and brewed a cup of tea for herself, the hot steam fogging up her glasses.At ten, she switched her laptop open and looked through her work schedule for the next week, but couldn’t process a single wor

    The night went on peacefully.Jayden joined them to stay the night.-When day broke, a layer of mist covered the mountain peak.It was time for Dorothy to be brought up and buried.Everything was proceeding smoothly.On the mountain, Amelia stood on the stone steps at the cemetery, looking at the pallbearers heading into the forest. Her eyelids felt as heavy as lead.She stayed up the entire night in the funeral hall. She could feel her temples throbbing and the trees before her were blurring.Dorothy’s funeral procession was simple and solemn.Someone read an eulogy before soil was heaped over Dorothy’s coffin, the sound landing like a thud on everyone’s hearts.When Amelia bowed, she could feel the icy cold tombstone on the fingertips which shook her. The kind old lady who never failed to give her warmth during winter nights was going to stay in the mountains forever. The crowd dissipated, leaves swirling on the ground in the cold wind up in the mountain.Amelia was bus

    "Oh, is that so?"Jayden chuckled as though he heard something amusing. "What's a woman worth in the face of Zephyr Group's current crisis?"He took a step forward, closing the distance between them. The air was thick with tension.Jayden said in a low, menacing voice, "Think about it. As long as you say yes, I can have Navitech return you the lost deal. They'll even compensate you for your loss. Not only will you be able to stabilize Zephyr Group's situation, but you'll even get the chance to expand overseas. Isn't that the best outcome for you?"Christopher rubbed the cigarette in between his fingers, his fingertips even colder than the surface of the cigarette. He turned to look at Jayden, completely unperturbed. "Do you think it's worth it to give her up in exchange for a moment's peace for Zephyr Group?""Is it not?" Jayden asked him back. "Dad built up Zephyr Group with his blood, sweat, and tears over the decades. Are you just going to watch it fall in your hands? Or do

    A distance away, Jayden and Janice looked on at Amelia and Christopher."Hah," Janice scoffed as she turned to look at Jayden, her voice cutting through the silence between them. "Since when did things become so peaceful between them? Jayden, all your efforts to sow discord between them seemed to have pulled them closer to each other instead."Janice's voice sounded harsh as usual. She smoothed out her shawl, the look in her eyes like cold shards of glass as she stared at Amelia from afar.This woman who suddenly barged into the Zephyr family was just another dispensable pawn.Yet, Jayden refused to make a move on her.Jayden didn't immediately respond to Janice's jibe. The look in his eyes darkened like a deep, bottomless lake.He looked at Janice and said emotionlessly, "Mom, I'll send you back.""No need for that," Janice scoffed once more before strutting off in her heels back to the car.She stood straight and proud, refusing to admit the slight slip in her posture earlier

    Before Amelia could say anything, Christopher walked toward her and draped the cardigan over her shoulders. His fingers brushed against her neck, bringing some warmth to her cold skin."It'll turn cold very soon. Put on more clothes."Amelia pulled the cardigan around her. She could still smell the lingering scent of his soap on it. She turned to look at Christopher and asked, "What did you head out to do? Did things go smoothly?"Christopher nodded, his gaze sweeping past the funeral hall. "The guest list, the burial proceedings, and…Jayden. I'm having someone watch him."Amelia stood stunned for a moment but slowly realized what was going on.Christopher had probably realized something was wrong, given Jayden's attitude this afternoon.She nodded. There were many questions swimming in her mind, but it wasn't appropriate for her to ask them right here.Christopher didn't say anything and simply stood by her side quietly, looking at Dorothy's portrait with her.The sky was turn

    Amelia bumped into someone around the bend.Lucia was wearing a dark purple dress with a brooch. The usual tilt in her chin was gone. Dorothy's death had shaken things up in the Zephyr household. Lucia was looking rather haggard and exhausted.When Lucia saw Amelia, she stopped in her tracks. Her lips moved as though she wanted to say something, but she eventually just looked at Amelia with mixed emotions in her eyes."Mia," Lucia said, first to break the silence. Her voice was hoarse and less sharp than usual.Amelia was surprised to see her like this.She had never gotten along with Lucia. Back when she was still with Christopher, Lucia always thought that she wasn't worthy of being in the Zephyr family and always picked on her.The worst it got was at a family gathering, where Lucia accused Amelia of being scheming and wanting to climb up the social ladder in front of everyone. It made Amelia so furious, tears had welled up in her eyes.Lucia always looked so high and might

    Christopher looked indifferently at her and continued talking to Nicole, "Yes, I'll be there in a jiffy."After ending the call, Christopher drove off before Amelia could say anything."Stop the car," Amelia said.Christopher was steering the wheel with one hand while resting the other arm on the

    Amelia lowered her head and walked toward the washroom to treat the burn on her chest.She looked at the red patch around her collarbone, where she felt searing pain just from mere contact with her shirt. She furrowed her brows, but knew she couldn't do anything about her wound just yet.She could

    "What do you feel like eating tonight?" Christopher asked Nicole. "Let's start by ordering in the private room."If anyone didn't know the relationship between Christopher and Amelia, they would have thought these two were complete strangers.Nicole smiled and wrapped the coat tighter around herse

    Jasper looked at Amelia, a flicker of pain in his eyes."He really treats you like that?"Christopher didn't even glance her way and walked openly with another woman.Nicole wasn't even a full-time employee at Zephyr Group, yet she could come to negotiate a deal. Other than being treated like the
