All Chapters of Reborn Without You: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Claire had already prepared the meal at home, and the aroma filled the entire house."Is Evie still asleep?" Amelia asked. Claire nodded. "Yes."As Claire looked up, she noticed the bandages around Amelia's wrist. "What happened to your hand?""It's nothing," Amelia said, pursing her lips. "Just a little accident."Claire frowned; a thought flickered in her mind, but she ultimately kept it to herself. She loosened her apron and said, "I won't stay for dinner. I still have things to take care of at the office."Amelia hesitated, studying her mother's expression. "Do you need me to help?""Take care of yourself," Claire said, turning on her heel and leaving in a rush, clearly in a hurry.Amelia watched her mother's retreating figure, her brow furrowing slightly. She didn't dwell on it, thinking it was just an ordinary matter.The company was always in a state of upheaval, so being busy with work was normal. Perhaps Amelia shouldn't constantly ask her mother to watch over Evel

"A-Are you really just a bachelor's degree holder?" Josephine frowned, suspicion flashing in her eyes. "Don't tell me it's a fake degree!"Amelia set the mouse down and straightened her back, her voice calm and even. "I really do have a bachelor's degree."The entire meeting room went silent, everyone exchanging stunned glances.How could this be? A mere bachelor's degree holder had just outshone all their top talents!She had even outdone Jasper, who was Alfred's top apprentice and one of the core engineers at Institute 511.Selena couldn't help but exclaim, "What a classic case of playing dumb to hide your strength."She glanced at Josephine. "Isn't this the moment you owe our new colleague an apology?"Josephine's pride ran deep. She was highly skilled and had long been resentful that Jasper had refused Nicole's attempt to bring Amelia in.She had always looked down on Amelia.But now, Amelia's abilities far surpassed Nicole's.Josephine had to admit that she had misjudged

Amelia turned to Christopher. "Open the door.""If you want to stay out, I won't stop you. But Evie is coming home with me tonight," Christopher calmly replied."I don't want to," Evelyn spoke up, her small voice firm. "I'm not going with you. I'm going with Mommy."Christopher frowned."Uncle Chris, you treat Mommy so badly. She doesn't want to go to the dinner, and she didn't want to get in the car just now. Yesterday at kindergarten, Mommy got hurt too, and you didn't even care."These past few days, Evelyn had seen everything.Before, she had just thought Christopher was busy with work, but at least he came home every day. Now, all she felt was that he didn't love Amelia or her. Even if she won first place in the kindergarten math competition, he wouldn't praise her. That meant no matter how good she was, he would never like her.Christopher's gaze finally fell on Amelia's bandaged wrist, his dark eyes unreadable. Amelia felt the weight of that stare cut through her, and she

After the banquet, all Amelia wanted was to take back her grandmother's keepsake. Nothing else mattered.Christopher said nothing. His eyes swept over the endless rows of gowns. Then, without much thought, he picked out a dress and tossed it to her. "Try this."The dress was elegant and refined.Amelia lowered her gaze to it, unmoved. She had no interest in humoring him."No need," she said coolly. "Just have it wrapped up."She didn't care whether it looked good or not."Amelia." Christopher's dark eyes locked on her. "What exactly are you sulking about?"His patience had limits. When it came to her, it was close to nonexistent.She met his gaze. "Where's the thing I asked for?""With that attitude, do you really want it?"Amelia drew in a slow breath, forcing her temper down again.If it weren't for what she wanted, she would never be putting up with this.She snatched the dress from his hand and disappeared into the fitting room.-Inside the fitting room, the sales as

As Amelia said those words, Christopher passed by her side.He cast her a rare glance, his eyes sharp and cold as frost.She wasn't sure if it was because he had heard what she just said.Nathan glanced at Amelia and Evelyn, letting out a soft huff. "I thought you weren't coming back? Now you show up again, huh?"Amelia's eyes narrowed as she stared at Christopher. She didn't understand. If she had already stepped aside for Nicole, why insist on calling her back for Richard's birthday banquet? Was this some kind of humiliation?She had already shown her face. The spotlight belonged to Nicole and Christopher now.She was about to leave with Evelyn when Richard's voice stopped them."Amelia, you and your daughter sit over there." He gestured to a lower table, placing them beneath the main guests.He then placed Nicole and Christopher at the head of the table, with Nathan sitting beside them.The message was clear. From the moment she married into the Zephyr family, Richard had n
