Chapter 957

Author: Goldfish
Outside the café's floor-to-ceiling windows, traffic drifted by in a slow, steady stream.

Amelia sat quietly, the weight in her chest refusing to lift.

Her fingers rested against the cool surface of her cup as the court staff's words replayed in her mind.

What he had said about Nicole's new evidence and the accusation of leaking classified information pressed down on Amelia like a stone.

Across from her, Christopher watched everything without saying much. He set his spoon aside and tapped h

    Amelia watched Christopher stand and gather the documents, her fingers absently brushing the armrest."It's already late," she said softly. "You should get some real rest. The work can wait."Christopher paused and looked at her. His expression was hard to read. He pressed his lips together, but he didn't answer right away.Work wasn't something he could simply put off.Fighter 07 was entering its final critical stage. Lincoln and Samantha kept putting pressure on them behind the scenes, while their partners continued pushing for payments.On top of that, the technical team had run into a difficult issue with the parameters that needed his approval.But when he saw the concern in Amelia's eyes, the urgency he felt about getting back to the office slowly faded. For some reason, he suddenly didn't want to leave.Evelyn was asleep upstairs. Amelia was right there beside him. The house felt warm and lived-in in a way he hadn't experienced in a long time.Compared to the empty offic

    Christopher stopped halfway through. For once, there was a slight tremor in his voice.Amelia's heart tightened. "What happened? What did you dream about?"Christopher looked up at her, his eyes dark. "I dreamed you were both gone." His voice came out rough. "It feels real every time. So real that I wake up with my hands covered in sweat."The last time, he dreamed Amelia got into a car accident. He rushed to the hospital in a panic, only to wander the halls without ever finding her room.When he jolted awake, it was still dark outside. He called her almost immediately, and only relaxed after he heard her voice.Amelia went still, a chill running through her.She had been reborn. In her previous life, neither she nor Evelyn had met a good end. She buried those painful memories deep inside and avoided thinking about them whenever she could.She always thought she was the only one who remembered any of it. Yet somehow, Christopher's dreams touched on the very thing she feared mo

    Christopher shook his head. "It's what I should've done."Amelia watched as he pulled into the garage, her fingers absently brushing over the seat belt buckle.In the back seat, Evelyn could barely keep her eyes open. Her head kept drooping forward, and there was still a small smear of ketchup at the corner of her mouth.Christopher got out first and walked around to open the back door, careful not to make too much noise.Evelyn stirred and opened her eyes. The moment she saw him, she seemed to wake up a little. Hugging her toy fries to her chest, she murmured, "Daddy."Amelia came around and picked her up, wiping the ketchup from the corner of her mouth with her thumb. "You're exhausted. Come on, let's get you upstairs, cleaned up, and into bed."Then she looked at Christopher. "Are you heading home after this?"Christopher glanced at his watch. It was already 10 p.m. "No. I'm going back to the office to finish a few things."He kept his phone on silent and out of sight while

    As they headed out, Evelyn instinctively reached for Amelia's hand, but she kept sneaking glances at Christopher.Christopher noticed. After a brief hesitation, he reached down and took her small hand in his.Her hand was tiny and warm, and the moment her fingers curled around his, something inside him softened. The tension he had been carrying slowly eased.Evelyn blinked in surprise, then broke into a huge smile and held on tightly. She talked nonstop on the way there, clearly excited.Christopher listened patiently, nodding now and then and asking the occasional question. Before long, the three of them fell into an easy, comfortable rhythm.When they got to KFC, Evelyn hurried up to the counter and stood on tiptoe, studying the menu as she tried to decide what she wanted."Daddy, what do you want?" She turned and looked up at Christopher with complete trust."You pick. I'm good with anything." Christopher looked at her, his voice gentle.Amelia stood beside them, warmth spre

    Christopher looked at Amelia, his expression unreadable.His hand slowly curled into a fist at his side. His heart, quiet for so long, suddenly started pounding.His throat tightened. "If you're willing to listen…""Of course I am."Christopher paused. He looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he held it back. He lowered his eyes and ran his fingers over the project files on the table. When he spoke again, his voice was calm."We need to adjust the schedule for the next round of Fighter 07 testing."Amelia shifted her attention back to work and nodded. "Okay. I was actually going to bring that up. Our partner wants the final data three days ahead of schedule."They quickly slipped back into work mode, going over the technical parameters and figuring out how to rearrange the testing schedule. The tension from a moment ago gradually faded as they focused on the project, replaced by a quiet, almost effortless understanding between them.Every so often, Ch

    "Lincoln may not care about controlling the Zephyr family himself, but Nathan can inherit it someday. In the end, that still gives Lincoln what he wants. As long as Nathan remains the heir, I'll keep running the Zephyr family and building it up for him. Lincoln gets all the benefits without having to do a thing."Amelia found the whole thing deeply unsettling. She couldn't believe Gerald and Lincoln had been planning this for years.No wonder.No wonder Gerald had always been so fond of Nathan.Even after it came out that Nathan wasn't biologically related to the Zephyr family, Gerald didn't seem nearly as angry as everyone expected.Everything involving Christopher was part of the act.Christopher said, "So you don't need to worry about Nathan. Lincoln isn't going to mistreat his own son. But if a man like him is willing to use even his own child as leverage, there probably isn't anything he wouldn't exploit."Amelia had no idea what to say. The whole thing felt almost impossib

    Amelia looked at the cold, hard look in Christopher's eyes.She was always chasing after him, demanding a divorce and asking him to sign the papers.Yet, he had been dragging his feet on the divorce petition.From the first day of her rebirth, she asked him to sign the divorce papers that he reso

    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
