Semua Bab Bright Future With Him: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Mia and Amelia returned to the room with their complexions drained of color. They had abandoned the idea of confronting Chris any further. "How did it come to this? Mia, how did things get so out of hand?" They had tried every avenue, whether right or wrong, all because of a single piece of luggage.Chris was undeniably ruthless!Mia's face was as white as a ghost.When they were in Harborlean, she thought Chris was simply attempting to provoke her. But it didn't seem like it now.Could it be that, like they thought before, Kathryn was the person Chris had been looking for all these years?If this were true, Kathryn must have mattered a lot to Chris for him to sacrifice so much to find her."Mia, we can't allow this Kathryn to stay," Amelia tightly held Mia's hand and said with a venomous edge. Amelia couldn't forget how she had knelt before Kathryn. Yet, Chris didn't give in. Amelia felt deeply humiliated!How could he … As she envisioned Kathryn's face, Amelia had the

The notion of being in this together seemed utterly far-fetched now. This situation had spiraled into a significant catastrophe, to put it mildly. Tally had been in a state of constant chaos throughout. She hadn't been able to hand over all her belongings to Kathryn. After the call ended, Kathryn moved some of her things from the company apartment to Rexton Manor. When she was done, she called Jessica, who'd just gotten discharged. They agreed to meet up at a café near the company. When Kathryn got there, Jessica was alone. She was a little pale, and she'd gotten a lot thinner in such a short time. Jessica was wearing a suit she hadn't worn since she got married, so she looked more energetic than before despite her sickly state."Jessica," Kathryn said as she sat in front of her.Jessica smiled when she saw Kathryn. "You're here."Kathryn nodded, then looked Jessica up and down before noticing she was wearing some light makeup. It made her look a lot less like a housewife.

On the way back to Rexton Manor, Kathryn got a call from the neighborhood's security guard, saying Wendy wanted to meet her."I don't want to see her," Kathryn said."Ms. Michaels, this is your mother. I feel like you should see her, no?" the guard said seriously. Kathryn couldn't be bothered, so she hung up immediately.She didn't know when she started hating it when people referred to Wendy as her mother. The guard's use of the word "should" only further infuriated her. That was why she became rebellious and hung up no matter who said that. Meanwhile, Maxwell was harassing Kathryn, probably because he couldn't convince Jessica to help.He kept calling and calling, but if Kathryn blocked his number, he'd simply get a new one. Worrying that he'd continue to bother her in front of Chris, she picked up in frustration. "What?""Kathryn." Maxwell's tone was pleading, a huge difference from his previous hostile attitude. This instant change in his tone was expected since Kathryn kept

Chris' warm breath fanned across Kathryn's cold cheeks. That brought a romantic tension to the already tense atmosphere.Kathryn was already nervous to begin with, so she gulped when she saw Chris' sharp gaze. "M-Mr. Albert!""You were raised in Everburn Highlands?""Yeah, I'm from Everburn. Why?""You don't look like it!" Chris said seriously. He knew how deserted that place was. It was barren as far as the eye could see, so much so that there was barely any grass or trees, even though there was plenty of land.When he'd gone there to visit his mother in the past, everyone there was tanned to some degree. No one was pale and fair like Kathryn.Kathryn was speechless. Chris put it in such a way that even she was confused as to where she came from. She didn't know Chris had been to Everburn Highlands before, so she gulped and said, "I told you I don't look like them."Chris let her go, and she hastily stood up before saying, "T-Time to eat.""Are you hungry?" Chris pointedly

Chris looked at Kathryn and said, "Come here!" Kathryn didn't dare disobey those cold words, so she shuffled over to him. Then, Chris suddenly pulled her into his arms. Kathryn almost yelped in surprise. Luckily, she managed to stay silent.She had no idea when Chris started doing this, but he seemed to like doing it more and more. "Mr. Albert!" she called out."You are getting heavier!"Kathryn was speechless. He would never let go of how she ate too much, wasn't he? His words also kept reminding Kathryn that she was pregnant with a child he didn't want. If she didn't take care of it soon, she'd probably die a really, really horrible death.Kathryn gulped and tried to change the subject. "Was that Ms. Davis on the phone?"Chris froze when he heard the question. Why the hell was she asking stuff like this?The moment Kathryn stopped talking, she felt the chill coming off of Chris. She really wished she could slap herself right now. "Sorry, I didn't mean it!""Mean what?""I
