All Chapters of Reborn Without You: Chapter 991 - Chapter 1000

The morning was packed with work. Amelia threw herself completely into the project, trying to numb herself through sheer focus.When Samantha walked into the office, the happiness on her face was impossible to miss. She chatted with coworkers about trying on engagement outfits tomorrow, her voice overflowing with excitement.Amelia sat at her desk, pretending not to hear any of it. She kept her eyes fixed on the data displayed across her computer screen.When the afternoon finally arrived, Amelia left the Academy of Aerospace early and headed to Evelyn's school.She walked into the classroom and noticed that most of the other parents had already arrived. The second Evelyn spotted her, she ran over with a bright smile, grabbed Amelia's hand, and pulled her toward the seats in the very front row.Once the parent-teacher meeting started, the teacher began discussing how the children were doing at school. When she mentioned Evelyn, she smiled warmly."Evelyn is a very thoughtful ch

Christopher stopped walking.Looking at her calm profile, his throat tightened slightly, but he said nothing.The streetlight cast long shadows behind them, and aside from the distant sound of traffic, silence stretched between the two of them.After a long while, Christopher finally frowned."I don't care who you get close to, but it can't be Lincoln."Amelia suddenly let out a quiet laugh, as if she had heard the most ridiculous thing imaginable, though there wasn't a trace of amusement in her eyes. "You said the same thing before. Back then, you told me anyone was fine except Jayden."Christopher's brow tightened further. Beneath the streetlight, his dark eyes looked heavy, and when he spoke again, his voice was noticeably lower."That's different.""How is it different?"Amelia was about to press further when Samantha's voice suddenly came from behind them."Chris, thanks for bringing me over and waiting here for me."Amelia turned around and saw Samantha walking out o

Darell continued, "To keep things from escalating further, and for your own protection, I want you to stay away from the Academy for the next few days. Take some time at home and wait for updates. Once we've handled everything, we'll let you know when to come back."Amelia stayed silent for a few seconds, but she understood his position.The rumors were spreading too quickly now. If she stayed at the company, it would only fuel the gossip further and might even drag the entire project team into the mess.She nodded, a faint rasp in her voice. "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Carter. I've already organized the project files and uploaded everything to the shared documents. If there are any issues, you can contact me anytime."Darell looked at how hard she was trying to stay composed and sighed softly. "Don't worry. We'll get to the bottom of this and clear your name as soon as possible. Take care of yourself during this time, and try not to pay attention to what people are saying on

Amelia's head snapped up, shock filling her eyes. "What did you just say?""I'm not trying to take advantage of the situation."Keith immediately clarified."I know this sounds sudden, but I really just want to help you. You're trapped in these rumors right now. Not only is your job being affected, but Evie could get dragged into this, too. If you're willing, I can…""No." Amelia cut him off before he could finish, her brows knitting tightly together. "Keith, you're a good person. You've always been there for me, and I really appreciate it."She was thinking clearly."But I can't do something like this. I know there's no future between us, so using your identity to get myself out of trouble would just be taking advantage of your kindness and giving you false hope. I can't do that."She knew perfectly well how Keith felt about her.It wasn't that she hadn't noticed. She simply had no energy left to start another relationship. And she refused to use Keith's feelings for her own b

Amelia let out a quiet sigh. "But you know how bad things are getting online. I'm really afraid this is eventually going to affect Evie."She was terrified she might agree to something reckless in a moment of panic.When it came to her daughter, she always lost her composure."Don't panic. I actually do have an idea."Winona's voice suddenly brightened. "Did you forget about Jasper? I can ask him to help you put on a little act. You two can publicly announce that you just started dating and plan to get married once things settle down. Honestly, he's a much better choice than Keith."Amelia froze for a second."Jasper? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for him?" Amelia hesitated. "He works out of town. Making him come all the way here just for this…""What trouble? If I ask him, he'll definitely help," Winona cut her off confidently. "Jasper's the kind of person who values loyalty above everything else. If he knows you're being picked on, there's no way he'll just sit back an
