《Mr. Ex Knelt Before Me 》全部章節：第 21 章 - 第 30 章

Tris's anxiety lingered as she lay in bed, wrapped in her blanket and staring at the ceiling. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she needed to do something to prevent Chris from having to ask Anne for help again. As she thought about it, Tris knew that there was one person who could help her - her father, Ed. He had always been a bit of a mysterious figure, with connections and resources that Tris didn't fully understand. But Tris also knew that asking her father for help would be a last resort. He had a reputation for being ruthless and cunning, and Tris had always tried to keep her distance from him. In fact, Tris's relationship with her father was complicated, to say the least. She had always felt like she was walking on eggshells around him, never knowing when he would lash out or manipulate her for his own gain. Asking her father for help would be like playing with fire, Tris thought. It could get her the results she wanted, but it could also get her burned. Despite he

Tris and Anne arrived at the restaurant, looking forward to a relaxing lunch with Chris. As they entered, they spotted Chris already seated at a table, lost in thought. He seemed to be staring off into space, his mind a million miles away.As Tris and Anne approached the table, Chris suddenly snapped out of his reverie, looking startled for a moment before breaking into a warm smile. "Hey, guys!" he exclaimed, standing up to greet them.Tris was enveloped in a warm hug, followed by a gentle kiss on the cheek. Anne, on the other hand, received a friendly smile and a nod before Chris sat back down.The three of them settled in, with Tris sitting beside Chris and Anne sitting across from him. Chris couldn't help but feel a little nervous, his eyes darting towards Anne's face and then quickly looking away. Every time he looked at her, he was reminded of what had happened at her apartment a few days ago."Okay, so what's good here?" Tris asked, perusing the menu. "I've never been to this r

Back at the office, Chris was consumed by feelings of guilt towards Tris. He had betrayed her trust, allowing Anne to kiss him not once, but twice. And this time, it was even worse. But as he reflected on the encounter, Chris remembered what Anne had said about Tris and Julian. It seemed that Tris had been keeping secrets from him, and Chris couldn't shake off the feeling that he needed to confront Tris about it. Why hadn't Tris ever mentioned Julian to him? What was going on between them? Chris's mind was racing with questions, and he knew he had to get to the bottom of it. He couldn't just sit back and do nothing, not when his relationship with Tris was at stake. Chris took a deep breath, steeling himself for the conversation that was to come. He would confront Tris about Julian, and he would get the truth out of her, no matter what it took. As the day turned into night, Chris visited his girlfriend, Tris, at her home after work. He found her still pale and weak, but thankfully

A week had passed since Tris had moved back into her father's mansion, and she was certain that Chris would be looking for her by now. But she was safe here, surrounded by her father's security and luxury.As she stepped out of her bedroom, she was greeted by the aroma of freshly cooked breakfast. The staff had already set the table, and she could see Ed and Julian walking in from the backyard, their faces serious and intent.But as soon as they saw Tris, they stopped talking and smiled. Ed gave her a warm "good morning" and Julian greeted her with a charming smile. Tris invited them to join her for breakfast, but Ed declined, saying they had already eaten earlier."You go ahead and enjoy your breakfast, Anna," Ed said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "We have some business to discuss."Julian nodded in agreement, his eyes never leaving Tris's face. "Yes, we'll catch up with you later, Anna."Tris watched as they walked away, feeling a sense of curiosity and wonder. What were they

Chris woke up with a start as his alarm blared to life. As he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find Anne sleeping beside him, her arms wrapped tightly around his waist. He felt a jolt of panic as he realized that neither of them was wearing any clothes under the blanket, and their clothes were scattered all over the floor. Chris's mind raced as he tried to piece together what had happened the night before. He had been drinking, and Anne had been flirting with him...but he had no memory of them actually sleeping together. Feeling a sense of unease and guilt, Chris carefully extricated himself from Anne's grasp and quickly got out of bed. He gathered up his clothes and hurried into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. As he stood under the cold shower, Chris couldn't shake the feeling of regret and shame. What had he done? He thought about Tris, and how he had promised to wait for her. But now...now he had gone and done something stupid, something that could ruin everything.
