Christopher looked at the woman before him in silence as he listened to her questions.The many years of misunderstanding and Amelia’s actual thoughts had run amok to what he had originally thought.Even so, he had never taken these into consideration.“You can choose not to trust me,” Christopher said hoarsely. “No one can stop me from doing what I’ve set my mind to. Even if you don’t cooperate with me, I’ll have my ways.”He stood up, ready to leave.Amelia stared at him and yelled, “Christopher Zephyr! I’ve already tried to resolve the misunderstanding! Are you still refusing to tell me a single word of truth?”What exactly was he planning? Amelia hadn’t received any information from him and everything he was doing was extremely suspicious.Amelia knew clearly that if she were to remain clueless to the very end, there would be incalculable consequences.Christopher stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Amelia.“Just trust that I won’t hurt you or Evelyn.”His

Tania was stunned to hear Christopher’s cold, hard voice.She peeked into the house and looked straight into Christopher’s dark eyes.She never expected Christopher to still be here at such a late hour.Were they reconciled already? Had they schemed and plotted against them?Tania’s heart fell. She felt a chill down her spine.Jonathan’s brows knitted tight.“Aren’t you two already divorced? What are you two doing together at such an hour?” Jonathan sputtered. “What will your mom and uncle think if they were to find out about this?”Amelia scoffed, “You can’t threaten me with that.”Tania took a deep breath and said, “Chris, please don’t take what I said earlier to heart. They were a slip of the tongue, you see.“You were good to me and Nicole and we accepted your gestures of goodwill. Nicole was foolish to go down the wrong path.“I know you think that we’re the ones sucking your blood and making you sacrifice much. She even ended up in jail, embarrassing you. On account of

Amelia furrowed her brows.She was worried about her daughter's health and quickly felt her forehead."Stay in your room. I'll prepare breakfast for you before you take some medicine. If you still feel bad, I'll bring you to the hospital."With that, Amelia stood up to get a thermometer for Evelyn. She heaved a sigh of relief when she found that Evelyn didn't have a high temperature."Do you feel very bad? Shall I bring you to the hospital?" Amelia asked gently.Just then, Christopher woke up. He looked sleepily at the two of them and asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"The look in his eyes was tender, very unlike his usual cold distance."Mr. Zephyr," Evelyn greeted, looking slightly alarmed.Christopher nodded.Amelia took a deep breath and said, "I agreed to you staying the night. Now that you're awake, please leave."Christopher looked darkly at her. "Evelyn is sick and you can't handle it alone. Let me help you take care of her."He spoke matter-of-factly, clearly expres

Nigel bowed his head and followed behind Christopher as he replied respectfully, “Nothing at the moment. Everything is on track. He’s not doing anything strange at work.”Christopher stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at him.“That’s the biggest problem, if he hasn’t made any moves yet. He might not be making the move himself, but have you looked into the people he’s been training overseas, acquaintances he has made or confidants he has?”Nigel paused for a moment before saying, “I’ve sent someone to look into those, but we haven’t found anything yet.”Sometimes, the absence of problems itself was a problem.Nigel said, “Perhaps we don’t need to be so suspicious of him? Nothing about his recent activities seem fishy. Perhaps the Zephyr family isn’t his objective after all and he just wants to lead a peaceful life after returning.”Christopher burst out laughing.Having lived with Jayden for so many years, Christopher knew very clearly the kind of man he was: a vindict

Christopher glanced at his wristwatch.“How long was I asleep for?”Nigel said, “I’m not sure. You were already asleep when I came in. You didn’t let me bother you so I didn’t dare to come in.”Christopher took a deep breath. From what he could remember, he probably dozed off after that video conference ended.“It’s time for lunch now. You haven’t eaten breakfast. What would you like to eat? I’ll have someone prepare lunch for you.”Christopher rested his elbows on the desk and cupped his face in his hands. He shook his head, still feeling woozy as ever.Perhaps he was still feeling the aftereffects of his nap. He always felt terrible after waking up. It put him in a horrible mood, too.“Just something simple will do. No need to prepare anything special.”Nigel pursed his lips and nodded. “Get some rest at the lounge. You’re too exhausted and it’ll take a toll on your health…”Nigel was very worried about the state of Christopher’s health, but he knew he couldn’t outtalk Chris
