Chapter 11

Evelyn turned her head and caught Nathan's smug little grin.She frowned and said, "I saw it first. Give it back!"Nathan pulled a face. "Whoever grabs it first gets it."But she had seen the bottle first, and she wanted that drink. In the past, she would have stayed quiet and let her brother have it. But her mother had told her recently that if anyone bullied her, she could fight back.She was just about to snatch it when someone suddenly stepped in between her and Nathan.Nicole looked down at her from above. "What are you fighting over?"Her tone wasn't harsh, but to a child, it carried a weight that pressed down hard.Evelyn's brows knitted tight. Her tiny fists clenched, her eyes filled with tears before she could even speak. She stood there stiff and small, looking like a child abandoned, unwanted, with nowhere to run."What, crying again?" Nathan sneered as he twisted open the cap. "Too bad no one cares if you cry. And this isn't even the kind of drink for you."He li

Chapter 12

Amelia's breath caught, and tears welled up in her eyes. She rose at once and gave Alfred a deep, earnest bow. "I'm sorry. This time, I won't let you down."Alfred's car was already waiting to take him back to the institute.Jasper drove Amelia back. While she had been talking with Alfred, he had taken Evelyn out and spoiled her with snacks, stationery, and toys—two full bags dangling from his hands.Evelyn was all smiles, giggling so hard that her little dimples showed."You bought her this much?" Amelia asked, rather exasperated.Jasper arched a brow at her. "They're for the kid. Don't tell me you're thinking of paying me back."He smirked. "No need for money. Just work hard for me in the future, and we'll call it even."Amelia couldn't help but laugh. "So you had an ulterior motive, after all."Then, Jasper's tone shifted. "Do you really plan to keep living in a hotel with your daughter?""I've already started looking for a place," Amelia said. She wanted something close

Chapter 13

Nathan froze for a moment. The next second, a knowing expression spread across his face. "Mommy, you don't need to be jealous of Ms. Nikki. Actually, you could even be good friends with her. We all get along with her, but you don't. Maybe you should think about whether the problem is really you."Amelia didn't rise to the bait. She simply leveled her gaze on him and said, "I won't repeat myself a third time. Get out."Nathan stared at her in silence for a few seconds. Then, he snorted and jumped down from the car. "You're going to regret treating me this way! From now on, even if you want me to ride in your car, I won't."Amelia didn't spare him a glance. She lifted Evelyn into the seat, slid behind the wheel, and drove away without hesitation.In the rearview mirror, Evelyn watched as her brother's figure grew smaller and smaller until he disappeared from sight. "Mommy, do you really not want Nate anymore?""You're my only daughter," Amelia replied.Evelyn was still too youn

Chapter 14

Backstage at the competition, Jasper and Winona arrived one after the other.Winona stepped in, her face full of disdain. "Just ran into that pain in the ass outside again. They're everywhere. And that Nicole—heard she's competing in this event too." She huffed. "It's completely insane! The way she strutted around like she owned the place was unbelievable."Amelia laughed. "Why are you so worked up over her?""I just can't stand that smug look she gets, riding on men's coattails and acting so pleased with herself! She had no qualifications to get into Institute 511, so she got your husband to pull some strings for her." Winona's nostrils flared with anger. "Tell me. You've been married to Christopher for years. What has he ever done for you? For Nicole, though? He's generous beyond belief!"Amelia pursed her lips.It was true. Six years of marriage, and Christopher had flown back and forth across the globe every year with Nathan just to see Nicole.A man would go any distance f

Chapter 15

Christopher's expression remained calm and unreadable, as if Amelia's emotions and the look in her eyes didn't even register.Every weekend, she had wanted him to take the kids on outings or to the amusement park, but he always claimed to be busy. Now she realized that aside from openly taking Nathan abroad, he was using those same weekends to fly overseas and spend private time with Nicole.Amelia's eyes darkened with bitter amusement.The more she understood, the more she realized that six years of her devotion had counted for less than feeding a dog.She pursed her lips. "Well, then. I wish you both happiness."Christopher's gaze darkened slightly. "Do you know what you're saying?"Her eyes met his, steady and unflinching. All she could see in his eyes was cold detachment as he enunciated each word deliberately. "Nikki isn't a mistress."Amelia laughed. "Is that so? Then please hurry up and—" "Amelia!" Winona's voice cut through. "Been looking for you everywhere."Amelia

Chapter 16

A flicker of unease rose in Nicole's chest.She remembered Aurora Vision as just a group of students, still in school. She had barely taken them seriously. How could such a team possibly hide a pro of that caliber?"Feeling nervous?" Christopher glanced at her.Nicole forced a smile. "Nervous? Not at all. In this kind of competition, the only ones who should be worried are my opponents."Even if Aurora Vision had a powerhouse hidden within it, the group was still inexperienced. With that thought in mind, Nicole allowed herself a small measure of relief.The 24-hour extreme challenge allowed for breaks, but no one wanted to waste time. They all napped in shifts, catching only a few moments of rest.When it finally ended, Amelia felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temples, utterly exhausted.The panel of judges consisted of experts from various aerospace departments, who scored each team using a detailed scoring system.

Chapter 17

Nicole's team had come in second, and the gap between them and the first-place team was significant.Even though Nicole was talented, she was clearly outshone. A stubborn frustration bubbled up inside her. She was used to winning, and being second didn't sit right. Next time, she would reclaim her spot at the top!-Backstage, Winona screamed as she jumped, practically bouncing as she grabbed Amelia. "Amazing!"Amelia had been tense the entire time, worried she might not make it through. She wasn't even sure where her own skills stood these days, but thankfully, the results had turned out well.There was a ceremony to receive the awards, but Amelia didn't want to be seen just yet. She chose someone else from the team to go on stage and accept it on their behalf.Winona exclaimed, "Why aren't you going yourself? Afraid your soon-to-be ex-husband will see? He deserves to see just how incredible you are!"Amelia shook her head. "You don't know his methods. If I show up now and

Chapter 18

Near the competition venue, there was a private club.Amelia stepped inside.Christopher had reserved a tea room, and he was already there when she arrived. The man wore all black, his gaze lowered as he sipped tea with quiet composure.Steam from the hot water swirled around them, carrying the delicate fragrance of the tea through the room. Amelia actually found the aroma quite pleasant.Christopher was even more devoted to tea culture, drinking coffee only when late nights of work demanded it.Seeing Amelia enter, he gestured lightly. "Sit.""What do you want to talk about?" Amelia asked as she sat, her eyes fixed on him.She had come because she assumed Christopher's message was about the divorce.He noticed the strange, complicated look in her eyes. He poured a cup of tea and set it in front of her. "Why were you at the competition today?""That's none of your business," she replied coolly.Christopher didn't flinch at her coldness."Where are you and Evie living?" he as

Chapter 19

The moment Christopher answered the call, he stood and headed for the door."Christopher," Amelia called after him. "Where are you going?"He paused, glanced at her, but still explained, "It's Nikki's birthday party today. If she drinks too much, she'll have an allergic reaction, so I'm going to pick her up."Birthday?Amelia's mind went blank for a moment, then clarity hit. So that was what happened. On this exact day in her last life, he hadn't just been busy with Nicole's competition. He had also been celebrating her birthday. That was his so-called excuse for being unavailable.She drew a deep breath, trying to push down the exhaustion, and stood. "Ten minutes. I have something to say to you."She couldn't keep dancing around anymore. After the high-intensity competition, she was completely drained. This was the first time since becoming a housewife that she had pushed herself this hard. Her body hadn't adjusted to the pace.Christopher glanced at his watch and simply re

Chapter 20

When Amelia came down the stairs, her expression was far from cheerful.Claire looked at her with concern. "Did something happen? You look exhausted. I'll run you a bath. Rest for a while. Tomorrow morning, I'll take Evie to school."Claire's heart ached seeing Amelia so worn out.Ever since she was little, Amelia had been full of energy. She was always vibrant, even while managing life in the Zephyr household with two kids.She looked different now, in ways Claire couldn't quite put into words.Amelia shook her head. "I just wanted to check on Evelyn, but I got here just as she fell asleep. I've got some things to take care of, so I need to head out.""You're going out so late?" Claire frowned. "It can wait, right? You should get some rest first. Health is the foundation for everything. No matter how busy, you have to take care of yourself."Amelia smiled. "I know, Mom. Don't worry. I've got it under control."Claire fell silent, knowing there was nothing more to say."By the
