Semua Bab Reborn Without You: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Nicole had probably told Christopher her side of the story. Why was he trying to get her side of the story when his lenses were already colored?He would never believe whatever she said, anyway.He was just asking her the question in a bid to speak up for Nicole.It was the same reason why he bought the marital house back from her.Christopher looked at her in silence, a cold smirk on his face.He looked approvingly at how well she seemed to know her place.Indeed, her answer wasn't important to him.What mattered was his effort to interrogate her for Nicole's sake.Christopher lowered his head and leisurely rolled up a sleeve as he said casually, "Mia, being emotional never solved problems."He then looked back up at her. "See you the day after tomorrow."Despite Amelia's clear stance that she wouldn't go to the funeral with him, he remained domineering in refusing to take no for an answer.Amelia smirked coldly.Being loved often makes one take things for granted.She us

The window at the driver's seat wound down.Nigel's head peeked out from the car, and he urged her with a frown, "Hurry up. We're running late."Amelia halted in her footsteps.The car wasn't parked very far away, but she caught a cold recently and didn't want to be exposed to the rain.She furrowed her brows, but eventually decided to run toward the car. Raindrops landed on her face, accompanied by the chilly wind. Her body shuddered in the cold.Amelia knew that Christopher was in the back row, so she opened the door to the front passenger seat and sat in it.Raindrops clung to her hair, and she looked down to flick the raindrops off her dress.Nigel's eyes widened at the sight of her in the front passenger seat. He never expected her to sit there."Well…" Nigel subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror.Seated in the back row was Christopher, dressed in a black suit, looking cold and aloof. His eyes were cold and almost emotionless."Aren't we running late? Drive on,"

Amelia simply stared at Stephanie.Her eyes were so chilly, Stephanie was momentarily stunned.Amelia never used to show them such an attitude. Somehow, she seemed to have changed.Stephanie opened her mouth to say something, but she was at a loss as to what to say. The atmosphere at the funeral was suffocating.Amelia retracted her gaze and announced, "I need the washroom."She didn't want to pursue the matter. The Zephyrs' attitude toward her was no longer her business.Dorothy looked at her with a smile. "Come back quickly."Lucia chuckled. "When I ask my daughter-in-law to do something, she either does this or that badly. Other people's daughters-in-law can do everything, from chores to tea brewing." She looked darkly at Amelia. "And now, she's throwing a tantrum after I say a few words."Dorothy corrected her, "She's not your servant. If you need a servant, go hire one. Have I ever ordered you around like a servant?"Lucia didn't have any words to rebut Dorothy's claims

Christopher seemed very drunk.Amelia had never fully understood him.She shoved him away hard. She never expected him to go to his car to sober up. If she had known, she would never have gotten into the car.Christopher was stunned by Amelia's force.Amelia turned to pull the car door open, intending to leave.However, Christopher quickly wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back into his embrace. Amelia's weight was insignificant to him, and it didn't take him much to pull her back.She struggled against her hold, but his arms quickly tightened around her waist, and she felt restrained in his arms.Amelia could clearly feel the warmth radiating from his chest and the scent on his body. She furrowed her brows. "Christopher Zephyr!"Their bodies were so close to each other, their breaths mingled, and the temperature of the air in the car started to boil.His cold lips plastered onto hers, effectively shutting her up.Amelia's eyes widened as her mind went blank.

The next day, Amelia didn't attend Mr. Zephyr's burial. There was no need for her to be there, anyway.Rather, she had a brief meeting at Nova Nine's office.After the meeting ended, Josephine came running toward her.She looked at Amelia and said hesitatingly, "Regarding how Nicole was fired, we do have some thoughts about that. After all…"After all, Nicole was an outstanding figure in the industry. She would be an excellent addition to the team.Amelia held her coffee cup in her hand and stopped in her tracks. She turned to look at Josephine and said flatly, "If you like Nicole so much, go ahead and resign. Apply for the company she's in."Josephine smiled awkwardly when she saw how unbothered Amelia was.When Amelia first joined them, they had some conflicts, which were eventually resolved. However, things were still slightly awkward between them.Josephine paused for a moment before saying, "That's not what I meant. I just want to say that some of our team members find it
