All Chapters of Reborn Without You: Chapter 1121 - Chapter 1130

Amelia stopped by a jewelry store and eventually chose a pair of mother-of-pearl bracelets. Their soft, luminous sheen reminded her of her mother's quiet, gentle nature.When she got home, Evelyn was hard at work at her desk, surrounded by construction paper, glue, and glitter."Mommy, you're back!"Evelyn looked up with a dab of glue on her cheek and excitement in her eyes. "I'm making Grandma a birthday present. It's a scrapbook of all the things we've done together."Amelia walked over and flipped through the carefully arranged pages. Some of the photos showed Claire taking Evelyn to the park, while others captured them baking together. Every page was filled with happy memories.She smoothed a hand over her daughter's hair. "Grandma's going to love it."Claire had never liked being the center of attention, and she had made it clear that she didn't want a big celebration this year. All she wanted was a quiet dinner with the family.Amelia reserved a private room at a nearby re

The door slammed behind Jonathan, leaving the room in stunned silence.No one moved. Even the children stayed quiet, watching Claire's furious expression.Winona had just opened her mouth to say something when the door opened again.Christopher, dressed in a black overcoat, stood in the doorway, tall and composed. The cold of the late fall night seemed to follow him inside, and he carried a sleek gift box in one hand.His gaze moved around the room before settling on Amelia."Happy birthday, Claire." His voice was calm and unreadable. "I heard you were celebrating tonight, so I wanted to stop by."Claire's expression, already tense from Jonathan's visit, hardened even further. She had barely gotten rid of one unwelcome guest, and now another man who had caused her daughter so much pain had appeared. Holding back her anger, she said, "You shouldn't be here."Amelia went still, her fork suspended halfway to her mouth. She never would have expected Christopher to show up uninvite

Nathan didn't think much of it. "Then we should study together sometime. Let's exchange numbers."The two children traded contact information before reluctantly saying goodbye.Lincoln left first with Nathan, followed by Jasper and Winona. Before he left, Jasper reminded Amelia, "Drive safe. Call me if you need anything."Soon, only Amelia, Evelyn, and Claire were left.Amelia drove them home while Evelyn sat in the back seat. Worn out from the long day, she soon fell asleep with her head resting against the seat, her breathing slow and steady.The car moved quietly through the night, streetlights sliding across the windows.Claire glanced back at Evelyn. Once she was sure the girl was asleep, she turned to Amelia."What's really going on between you and Christopher?" Her voice had turned serious. "Why did he show up at my birthday dinner? What does he want?"Amelia tightened her grip on the steering wheel."Have you forgotten what he put you through?" Claire asked, frustratio

Christopher's car pulled up outside Harbor Villa.He got out and made his way unsteadily into the living room.As soon as he took off his overcoat, exhaustion hit him all at once. His limbs felt impossibly heavy, and even lifting an arm took effort.A tight pressure settled in his chest, making every breath feel slow and painful.He loosened his tie, sank onto the couch, and closed his eyes, hoping he could rest for a few minutes.But his mind refused to shut down. It replayed the birthday dinner over and over: Amelia's guarded expression, Claire's hostility, and the cautious way Evelyn had looked at him.No matter how hard he tried to push the memories away, they kept coming back.His depression always seemed worse at night. In the silence, the loneliness and hopelessness became almost unbearable, swallowing everything else.He reached into his pocket for a cigarette, only to find it empty.He had smoked the last one in the car.Frustrated, he dragged a hand through his hair

Samantha's eyes narrowed. "You're ancient history. Stop pretending you still have a chance with him."Amelia nearly laughed. "I know exactly where I stand, Ms. Bloom. I don't need you to explain it to me. You should be more concerned about whether Christopher actually wants you instead of wasting your time threatening me. You can't force someone to love you."Samantha's face twisted with anger. "How dare you talk to me like that!" Her voice rose. "Don't push me. Stay away from Chris, or you'll regret it. I'll make sure you and your daughter pay for this!"That was the final straw for Amelia.She stepped closer, her expression turning cold. "Do not threaten my daughter. You have no say over my life or hers."The look on Amelia's face made Samantha take an instinctive step back.But then she remembered she was about to get engaged to Christopher and forced herself to stand her ground. "Who do you think you are? He left you. Once I marry into the Zephyr family, I'll have more
