All Chapters of Reborn Without You: Chapter 771 - Chapter 780

Shane's body stiffened, his eyes turning even darker. There was a hint of resistance in his voice as he reminded Jessica, "Ms. Reid, this isn't appropriate."Jessica ignored his concerns and leaned even closer to him. She looked up at his side profile and smirked playfully."Why not? You're my bodyguard. How are you going to protect me if you don't hold me when I'm injured?"Shane' face stiffened even more. He said sternly, "I failed to do what I was supposed to do. Please punish me, Ms. Reid.""Punish?" Jessica said with an arched brow as she challenged him, "I'll punish you by making you sleep with me for one night. What about that?"Shane bowed his head, avoiding Jessica's gaze entirely as he said in all seriousness, "Ms. Reid, please don't crack such jokes."Jessica burst out laughing. Mixed emotions flashed past her eyes when she saw how tense his jawline was."You want neither this nor that. My dad wants you to protect me, and this is how you do it? I got injured. Shouldn'

Amelia's body trembled.His question felt too heavy and demanded a response. He looked ready to give up his life if she were to say that it wasn't important.At that moment, Amelia could sense the torment and suffering Christopher was under.She took a deep breath and gently pushed him away. She looked straight into his eyes and said calmly and solemnly, "You're asking me if your life is important to me or not. Before that, I want to ask you this: Christopher, are mine and Evelyn's lives important to you?"She looked at the man before her and said with a smile, "Or let me ask it in another way. Am I and Evelyn important to you?"Christopher stood before her in silence.He remained silent for a long time.It was always this long silence and that deep dark gaze.Amelia chuckled coldly. "You can't even answer my question. What right do you have to ask me whether your life is important to me? What do you think? You already know the answer to that, don't you?"Over their many yea

Amelia looked at Christopher, confusion in her eyes.Everything felt so unreal, like an illusion. Her chest felt stuffy and constricted.She looked hard at him but said nothing.She wanted to ask him something, but didn't know where to start. She couldn't put her feelings right now in words.Everything was all in a mess.She didn't know what was the force propelling all of them forward.What kind of danger would drive him to such a decision? What kind of danger would make a calm, rational man like him put in place such a huge ploy?After all those years of marriage, Christopher could clearly sense Amelia's desire for freedom.Perhaps their marriage had been a mistake right from the start.She had said countless times that she wanted to be free.He would give her that. He would give her everything she wanted.But when he started becoming cold and distant, he realized that wasn't the case.She wanted an ordinary marriage. She wanted to be husband and wife with him.But it wa

Amelia was thunderstruck by Jessica's words, her blood freezing in her veins.She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes widening as she stared hard at Jessica. Her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word.The questioning look in her eyes gave way to disbelief and fear. She felt someone grip her heart, making even breathing painful.All those details she had neglected…The silence he fell into when they were alone, the sighs she heard in the deep of the night, the cold indifference and lack of emotions he displayed… She had overlooked them all.All those memories turned into shards of ice, piercing through her mind.He wasn't an emotionless robot."No… Impossible…" she finally managed to squeeze out. Her voice trembled and her fingertips turned icy. "He… He looks so…"She couldn't bring herself to complete the sentence; she felt something stuck in her throat.All those recklessness and narrow escapes from death had not been by chance.He wasn't risking his life. He was struggli

The funeral was supposed to be this weekend, but the fire had clearly ruined their plans."We'll hold it as planned," Christopher said, his voice low and tinged with fatigue. "Grandma cared very much about these things while she was around. We can't let her go like this."Amelia fell silent for a few seconds and said, "I want to be there."Christopher stared at her for a long time.The warm sunlight landed on her face and he could see the mixed emotions in her eyes. There was hesitation, emotional struggle, and a tenderness that he couldn't quite understand.He suddenly felt that perhaps Jessica wasn't entirely wrong. He nodded and said gently, "Okay. I'll make arrangements."He would have his assistant ensure that everything was in place so that all those ridiculous people and things wouldn't bother Amelia.Amelia nodded before turning around to prepare something for Christopher to eat.Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist. His hand felt cold and his fingers felt calloused. He didn'
