Semua Bab Reborn Without You: Bab 891 - Bab 900

"Six months old," Christopher said.Amelia paused. "That early?"Charles's dying wish had been for him to take care of Nicole.Of course, Christopher agreed. After he found out the truth, however, he had wanted to send the child to an orphanage. By then, Amelia had already grown attached and couldn't bear to let go.A year later, trouble started closing in from all sides.Things unfolded the way they did, almost naturally.Nicole was ambitious, and in a way, she became a shield for Amelia and Evelyn.Christopher had never been that selfless. The only thing he truly cared about were Amelia and Evelyn's safety.Amelia could see it clearly now, the weight he had carried all these years, the things he couldn't say. She lowered her gaze and chose not to ask anything else.If he didn't want to talk, there was no point pressing him. Sooner or later, everything would come to light on its own.-Early the next morning, before dawn had even broken, Christopher's phone started ringing

Nigel said Jayden had taken Nathan, but the more she thought about it, the less it added up.Jayden was always calculating. He never made a move without being sure of the outcome.He had to know that taking Nathan would immediately put Christopher on alert or even provoke him. So why act so fast?If the goal was just to use the child as leverage, he could've done it quietly. There was no need to expose himself this quickly.Amelia frowned, a thought flashing through her mind.Maybe Jayden didn't intend to use Nathan as a threat at all. Maybe this was bait.He wanted to lure Christopher back to Whitmore Manor.After all, that was Gerald's territory, a place Jayden had been building his influence for years. The moment Christopher stepped back in, he would be walking straight into whatever trap they had set.If she could see it, Christopher definitely could, too.And that was exactly what made her uneasy.Amelia took a sharp breath, unable to sit still any longer. She grabbed he

"We're just asking you to acknowledge him and give him a stable home. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it," Jayden continued. "Besides, company resources are meant for the rightful heir of the Zephyr family. Handing them out like this doesn't seem appropriate.""The rightful heir?" Christopher let out a short, mocking laugh. "What exactly are you implying, Jayden? That, as the heir of the Zephyr family, I don't have the authority to decide how resources are allocated?"Jayden shook his head. "That's not what I mean. I just think this should be handled carefully.""Handled carefully?" Christopher pressed, step by step. "When you brought Nathan back, did you think about handling it carefully? Now you suddenly want to talk about it?"Seeing the two of them about to clash, Gerald cut in immediately, "That's enough. No more arguing. Raise the child normally. None of this heir nonsense."The living room of Whitmore Manor felt frozen, the tension thick in the air.Jayden w

Gerald looked at Jayden, impatience and exhaustion clear in his eyes.After a moment, he said, "You've already gotten the better end of this deal. You should know that. This company has been under his control all these years, managed on your behalf. If I hadn't told him to hand it over, he wouldn't have given it up so easily. You don't get to stand here and second-guess him."He paused, his gaze sweeping over Jayden's tense profile. "Stop overthinking it. Focus on running the company well. That matters more than anything else."Jayden's hand at his side clenched suddenly, his nails digging into his palm.In Gerald's eyes, no matter what he did, it all came down to Christopher letting him have it.A cold laugh slipped out of him before he turned and walked away.Lucia watched Jayden leave, her eyes reddening, her voice catching slightly. "How did things between them end up like this? They should've been supporting each other. Instead, they act like enemies…"Gerald turned to he

Why had Christopher hidden Janice? What exactly was he planning?Gerald couldn't sit still anymore. He shot to his feet, grabbed his coat off the back of the chair, and rushed out, his steps hurried and uneven.He had barely reached the study door when he ran straight into Lucia, who was carrying a glass of water."It's so late. Where are you going?" Lucia steadied him before he could stumble, frowning at how flustered he looked. "Did something happen at the company?"Gerald's eyes flickered. He avoided her gaze, his tone stiff. "Nothing. Just an urgent matter at work. I need to step out."Without waiting for her to ask more, he pulled free from her hand and hurried toward the front door.Lucia stood there, watching him leave in such a rush, her unease growing stronger by the second.Gerald was always composed. Even in emergencies, he had never looked this shaken. From the look in his eyes just now, she could tell he was hiding something.She hesitated for a few seconds, but in
