All Chapters of Reborn Without You: Chapter 781 - Chapter 790

"But…" Evelyn scrunched up the tablecloth. "I saw bloodstains on your bandages in the morning."Amelia was quietly cleaning up as well, but paused when she heard Evelyn's words.Christopher put the napkins down and stretched out his uninjured left hand. He hesitated for a moment before gently touching Evelyn's head.Her hair was very soft like silk. "It's not bleeding anymore. Don't worry, Evie."His fingers were coarse and calloused. When his fingers touched her head, Evelyn shrunk back a little but didn't avoid his touch.This was the first in a long, long time since her dad touched her.She looked up shyly at him and realized that his lips weren't as tense as before. The look in his eyes was a lot kinder as well.She gathered up the courage to offer him a piece of pumpkin from her bowl. "This is very sweet. Try it."Christopher looked at the pumpkin and then at Evelyn's bright eyes, his heart clenching and aching amidst the warmth filling his heart.He nodded and took the p

"Some people are truly shameless, insisting on a divorce back then and acting all high and mighty with us. Yet now, she's back again to haunt us. Are you thinking of finding support from others in the family now that Grandma is gone and no longer around to back you up?""Stephanie," Christopher warned icily, exuding an imposing and authoritative aura. "You have no right to be talking like that."He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping past Stephanie's flushed face. "It's not your place to be making remarks about the Zephyr family."His words were like stones flung in Stephanie's way, shutting her up and making her flush with anger. She opened her mouth to refute him, but when she looked into Christopher's cold eyes, her words got stuck in her throat. She stomped her feet hard and turned to look away.The air seemed to freeze around them."The police are here," Jayden said, his voice hoarse like sandpaper. He glanced at Christopher and asked, "Did you call them?"Christopher l

"Be happy and at peace?" Amelia repeated his words and burst out laughing, but it sounded cold. "So is this how you're twisting my trust and reliance on you back then? I thought things were innocent between us, and that we were purely siblings. I didn't expect things to be of that nature in your heart."She thought Jayden knew her. She thought Jayden knew the love and pain she held for Christopher, and that he understood her struggles and grievances back then.Now, it seemed like he knew nothing. He was just making assumptions about things between her and Christopher based on his own thoughts.Amelia stood up and picked up her jacket draped on the back of her chair. "If this is all you called me here to tell me, there's nothing more for us to talk about."Jayden stood up, his brows furrowed. "Mia, don't be like this. We…""There's nothing more to say between us," Amelia said, cutting him off firmly. "Let the past remain in the past. There's no need for us to keep in contact an

Before Amelia could say anything, Christopher walked toward her and draped the cardigan over her shoulders. His fingers brushed against her neck, bringing some warmth to her cold skin."It'll turn cold very soon. Put on more clothes."Amelia pulled the cardigan around her. She could still smell the lingering scent of his soap on it. She turned to look at Christopher and asked, "What did you head out to do? Did things go smoothly?"Christopher nodded, his gaze sweeping past the funeral hall. "The guest list, the burial proceedings, and…Jayden. I'm having someone watch him."Amelia stood stunned for a moment but slowly realized what was going on.Christopher had probably realized something was wrong, given Jayden's attitude this afternoon.She nodded. There were many questions swimming in her mind, but it wasn't appropriate for her to ask them right here.Christopher didn't say anything and simply stood by her side quietly, looking at Dorothy's portrait with her.The sky was turn

"Oh, is that so?"Jayden chuckled as though he heard something amusing. "What's a woman worth in the face of Zephyr Group's current crisis?"He took a step forward, closing the distance between them. The air was thick with tension.Jayden said in a low, menacing voice, "Think about it. As long as you say yes, I can have Navitech return you the lost deal. They'll even compensate you for your loss. Not only will you be able to stabilize Zephyr Group's situation, but you'll even get the chance to expand overseas. Isn't that the best outcome for you?"Christopher rubbed the cigarette in between his fingers, his fingertips even colder than the surface of the cigarette. He turned to look at Jayden, completely unperturbed. "Do you think it's worth it to give her up in exchange for a moment's peace for Zephyr Group?""Is it not?" Jayden asked him back. "Dad built up Zephyr Group with his blood, sweat, and tears over the decades. Are you just going to watch it fall in your hands? Or do
