Winona called Amelia directly. "Well? Are you going down to talk to Christopher? He's been standing there forever."Amelia took a slow breath and looked away from the window."He clearly doesn't want to talk to me. He just wants to stand down there and watch from a distance, so I'm not going down."Christopher had his own reasons for keeping his distance. Maybe it was guilt, or maybe something was still holding him back. She didn't want to confront him or force him into a conversation he wasn't ready to have.Some things he had to work through on his own.As Winona entered her house, she couldn't help thinking Amelia's response was absurd."You two are unbelievable. You obviously still care about each other, but all you do is watch each other from a distance. Do you actually enjoy making yourselves miserable?""It's not that I'm trying to keep him at a distance."Amelia lowered her gaze. She understood the situation all too well."He's the one who can't get past what happene

Amelia's expression changed instantly, and her heart tightened. Her grip tightened around the phone.Winona was right.She saw the situation with startling clarity, and nothing she had said was unreasonable.Christopher had always seemed calm and emotionally steady around Amelia. He kept everything locked down so tightly that he rarely showed even the slightest change in emotion. Sometimes, he seemed almost incapable of feeling anything at all.It made Amelia forget how severe his depression really was.It also made her forget everything Jessica had warned her about."Mia, I'm not saying this to pressure you. I just want you to face what's really happening. "Whatever happens between the two of you shouldn't be decided by only one person. It should be a decision you make together. "You both keep saying you're doing what's best for the other person, but all you're really doing is hurting each other. Think about it. Isn't that exactly what's happening?"You could still build a

Christopher's brow moved almost imperceptibly, but his voice gave nothing away. "You skipped breakfast?"Amelia looked up at him with a faint smile. "I wasn't hungry."She said it on purpose.She asked him to have breakfast with her the night before, and he said no. So she deliberately skipped it that morning to see whether he would care.Christopher was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Stay here for a while. Nigel will bring breakfast soon."Amelia raised a brow, then sat down as he asked. She was taking a gamble, hoping this man who kept his emotions locked behind an icy facade still cared about her, even a little.A few minutes later, there was a knock at the office door. Nigel entered carrying several upscale takeout containers. He set everything out on the coffee table, then quietly slipped out without lingering for even a second.Everything was one of Amelia's favorites. Christopher had clearly ordered the meal with her in mind.Amelia deliberately picked up a spoon an

Christopher's car pulled up outside Jessica's private practice. He stepped out, swayed slightly, and pressed a hand to his throbbing temple before heading inside.Jessica was already waiting for him in the exam room. A thick medical file lay open on her desk, and the look on her face was anything but reassuring."I knew this was coming. I knew you'd end up back here sooner or later."She stood, looking both frustrated and fed up, and slid a revised treatment plan across the desk."I've adjusted your treatment again. If you don't follow it properly this time, I'm running out of options. We've already had to keep increasing the dose. If this keeps up, you could end up with serious neurological side effects. Haven't you always said your brain is your most valuable asset?"Christopher looked down, his fingertips resting against the cool paper as he remained silent."You used to do everything you could to keep your emotions under control because you wanted to stay sharp and avoid the

Christopher looked at Amelia but said nothing.The room suddenly felt much quieter.Oliver was clearly no ordinary tutor. There were too many things about him that didn't quite add up.Neither of them spoke for a moment. The silence stretched between them until Amelia finally took a breath and broke it."Can we talk?" She felt like it was time they finally had an honest conversation.Christopher looked up at her, his gaze resting on her face. "Sit down.""Alright." Amelia sat on the couch across from him. "Is Lincoln your enemy?"Amelia got straight to the point. She wanted to know exactly what was going on.Christopher asked, "What makes you think that?""Everyone does." Amelia didn't bother sugarcoating it. "You two are always going after each other in business, and you're the biggest competitors on the Fighter 07 project. Everyone assumes you hate each other."Christopher picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip. "That's not true. Lincoln and I aren't enemi
