Bright Future With Him Chapter 162
They would never have children together. Their marriage would end once Chris took back all the overseas companies from Krista. Then, he'd return to his pretentious true love, Mia. She'd just be … Kathryn.Chris was very busy. Before he went upstairs, he told Cara, "Pack my things. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow.""Alright, Mr. Chris!" Cara said respectfully.Then, Chris looked at Kathryn. "You should pack your things too."Kathryn's face changed color, and she pointed at herself. "I'm going too?""Who else would be going?"Kathryn didn't know what to say. She recalled Chris saying that she didn't need to go this time.Then again, she had gone with him on every trip since she became his assistant. That meant she would need to go on this trip too. Under Chris' threatening gaze, she nodded and said, "I'll pack up at once."With that, she ran out of the room. She was doomed! Kathryn was at a loss now. She now knew Chris' stance on wanting kids. However, the plan was to

Upon hearing Jessica's determination, Kathryn felt for her. She took a deep breath and said, "She really … used a knife …" She couldn't continue after that because she couldn't breathe. This was the Jessica who'd cared for them all these years! How could Wendy be so cruel?But then she remembered how Wendy had dumped her in her grandmother's backyard.Combined with how Wendy had treated Jessica over the years, Kathryn suddenly felt that Wendy could be that cruel."Yep, she did!" Jessica said with a determination and hatred Kathryn hadn't seen before.Kathryn's heart sank even further, but her hatred for Wendy only grew.After thinking for a while, Jessica said, "You don't have to come to the hospital from now on.""Jessica …""Maxwell's coming to Harborlean," Jessica said. Maxwell had been raised by Wendy, so he was also a person who demanded everything, especially money.He had taken plenty of it from the two of them over the years, so Jessica wanted to use this chance to

Despite everything, Maxwell was still someone who went to college. Kathryn couldn't understand why he always sounded so gross when he talked.Maxwell's anger was so intense that it gave him a headache. "People like you who abandon their family are the most disgusting of all.""Yeah, I abandoned my family! But at least I'm better than you two! All you do is ask for your family's money and blood!" Kathryn said mockingly.She was not that willing to talk to people like Maxwell in the first place, so now she wasn't pulling any punches.Maxwell became confused. He had always known Kathryn as the cowardly type. Maxwell was puzzled. In an instant, he reacted. "I see. You've changed since you went to the big city. You've got the guts to talk back now, huh?""Why? Were you planning to bully me for the rest of your life, gross boy?"Being called a gross boy hurt Maxwell to his very core, making him so angry he couldn't even speak."You're already on the way to Harborlean, aren't you?"
Bright Future With Him Chapter 165
Right now, Kathryn could tell Maxwell was hopping mad without even looking at him. She felt so relieved when she remembered that Jessica wasn't giving him a single cent too. She'd always gotten so worked up watching Jessica compromise.Now, it was all going to be over at last. At that moment, Kathryn seemed to remember something and hastily called Tally. She had her own things to worry about.Tally picked up instantly and said, "Don't tell me you had another situation." She sounded dead on the inside, so Kathryn asked, "What happened?""What the heck is going on with you and Mr. Albert? Why is Markus asking me whether I'm pregnant?""What did you say?""I said no, then I said yes!" Tally said in a pained way. Tally felt like she'd been stressed enough to get heartburn today. She didn't even know if something was wrong with her heart now. All she knew was that being alive was hard."So, are you pregnant or not?""Markus already suspects that the woman from Northvale is eith

Kathryn recalled that that was what he had said. Why else would they have made plans for the day he left? But now, Kathryn had to say, "He told me I was coming with him just now.""What now? If you don't abort soon, you won't get to once the baby gets too big. Three months is the limit. You know that, right?"Kathryn had no idea that there was a limit. Based on what she knew about Chris' schedule, the baby would be four months old by the time he went on another business trip.Kathryn's lips twitched just thinking about it. It just dawned on her that she had been too busy to think things through. "So what do I do?""Figure out a way to stay.""What way?" Kathryn said shakily. She hadn't realized how serious the situation was before Tally reminded her, but now she knew."Fake a sickness!" Tally couldn't think of any other way that. "No!" She couldn't fake another one. Adrian had scared her so much the last time, she still hadn't recovered yet.Tally didn't know what to say. Befo

"Careful, Madam. That soup's fresh off the stove." Cara hastily poured some cold water for Kathryn, who was almost in tears.Chris sighed when he saw her distracted attitude. He took the glass of water and gave it to Kathryn. "What was it that got you so distracted?"His tone was a bit softer when he saw Kathryn's teary eyes. He hated it when girls cried because it didn't make sense to him. But Kathryn's teary look didn't seem so bad, somehow.Kathryn quickly gulped down some water, the coolness soothing her a little. In the meantime, Cara had gotten some ice. "Put this in your mouth, Madam."Chris took the ice bucket, picked up an ice cube, and passed it to Kathryn. "Open your mouth."When Kathryn did, the burning sensation in her mouth got some relief once she had the ice cube inside. The soup had really burned her half to death."It hurts," she said to Chris pitifully."So you do know it hurts? Are you going to pay attention while eating from now on?" Chris said seriously. He

"When will you get rid of that stutter?" Chris thought he'd probably have to wait until she wasn't scared of him anymore. As for why she was scared of him, Chris had no clue. Hadn't he been treating her well? Why was she so terrified of him?"I-I'll try my best!" Kathryn said with a smile."Have you packed everything?""Mm-hmm!" Kathryn nodded.Chris started drying her hair, which shocked Kathryn so much that she didn't dare move. He'd previously helped style her hair, but the two were so close right now. She was practically enveloped in his scent, and her heart suddenly felt full but also shaky at the same time.After a while, her hair was dry. "Go to bed," Chris said."Okay." Kathryn got up hastily and headed for her bedroom.Chris frowned at the direction she was going in. "What if you get another fever?"Kathryn stopped in her tracks and turned to say, "I won't.""Go to the master bedroom!" Those five words left no room for argument. Kathryn pouted. What if she ended u
Bright Future With Him Chapter 169
Just like that, Kathryn drifted off and fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was because Chris' alarm was ringing.She opened her eyes while half awake. But when she saw Chris in front of her, her eyes snapped open. She couldn't breathe for a while.She felt utterly hopeless. She wondered why she was in Chris' bed again. She thought she might die this time."Mr. Albert …" Kathryn buried her face in her blanket. She didn't dare look at Chris' face at all. As she burrowed into her blanket, she realized her leg was resting on Chris' leg.Worst of all, Chris' palm was right on her slightly swollen belly. That warmth felt like an electric shock to her. She was worried that Chris might squeeze her belly.She heard Chris' cold voice say, "Are you getting up or not?" "I'm up. I'm up!" She hastily got off Chris. Half of Kathryn's body had been on top of him. When she scrambled to get out of bed, her pajamas lifted as she moved. Chris noticed her stomach was a little bigger. He

After leaving the Hunt residence, Tally made her way directly to Victor's company.Worried she might lose her way, Drew had been waiting downstairs in anticipation of her arrival.When Tally saw Victor, her face lit up with joy."You should've seen Mr. Hunt Senior's expression earlier. He looked like he wanted to eat me alive." Tally couldn't help but laugh.Victor reached for her hand as they sat down on the couch together. "Were you scared?" he asked.As Tally sat down, she casually looked back and noticed a framed photograph on Victor's desk.Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it. But with just one glance, she froze in surprise."When... when was this taken?" she asked. Her shock was evident as she turned to Victor.The picture was taken back when they were at Beverly Peak, during his hospital stay after being bitten by a wolf.She remembered looking after him until she herself fell asleep.In the picture, her eyes were closed, her expression peaceful.Victor

What made it even more absurd was that Elijah bought into it, too.Tally couldn't believe Elijah couldn't see through Markus' façade. He actually bought into Markus' excuse that his behavior was all because of her.And now he was acting like he'd rather die than leave her."Fucking hell," Tally muttered inwardly. She wondered who came up with this messed-up plan for Markus.Clearly, Tally couldn't quite grasp how Markus' mental state could deteriorate like this. However, given his history of going insane, this outrageous plan didn't seem entirely implausible.He was perfectly fine when he was with Albert Group, so how did he end up like this back at Skyline Group?Tally just couldn't figure it out.Elijah shot her a sharp look, gritting his teeth as he said, "You, leave!"Zane hesitated, saying, "Sir, but…""Just let her leave!" Elijah insisted.Elijah's words were punctuated by short, hurried breaths.Tally nodded, saying, "Mr. Hunt Senior, you're indeed the more rational o

Elijah and Zane glanced at each other. Then, their stares turned sharper as they both fixed their eyes on Tally.Tally swallowed nervously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?""You're not even married to Victor, so why are you calling yourself a married woman?" Elijah snapped, his anger evident.Tally remained silent.Observing Elijah's furious expression, she nonchalantly rummaged through her bag, retrieving the marriage certificate and wedding invitation.Then, she handed them over to Zane.Zane took the documents and swiftly flipped them open. His eyes widened in disbelief as he read through them.He promptly handed both documents over to Elijah.As Elijah took them and examined them, his expression darkened significantly upon seeing Tally and Victor's marriage certificate.He was shocked when he saw that their wedding date was today, along with the printed timestamp.In that instant, Elijah's breathing grew heavier.He glared at Tally with an

Tally was completely baffled by what was happening."I've been straightforward about my feelings for him," Tally complained under her breath.From her perspective, if something were to happen to Markus now, she shouldn't be blamed solely for her decision to get married. Victor nodded, saying, "Yeah, I know."Victor had always been aware of this. By now, Markus had become such a puzzle that Victor couldn't quite figure him out.Considering how clear Tally had always been about her feelings toward Markus, it was puzzling how he got himself involved in this mess.This time, Victor didn't accompany Tally to the Hunt Residence. He believed she could handle the Hunt family on her own.The atmosphere at the Hunt residence was incredibly tense at the moment.The moment Tally stepped inside, she could practically feel the frost coming off Elijah. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her.Zane's tone was far from pleasant as he said, "Um, take a look at this."With that, he passed

Tally was pretty happy a moment ago. But now, she was all worked up talking about the Hunts.Earlier on the road, Tally filled Victor in on the phone call she received from the Hunt residence.Victor's lips twitched as he heard the news. "So Markus left a suicide note and vanished?""Exactly. Can you believe the trouble he's stirring up now?" Tally shook her head incredulously.Tally was utterly exasperated with Markus by now. It had been a while since this whole thing started.She had to admit, these days had been incredibly "fulfilling" for her. It was so fulfilling that it almost left her reeling.And it wasn't just Tally struggling to keep up. Even Victor had been taken aback by how things were unfolding.He shot Tally a look of disbelief. "So you're going to the Hunt residence now?""Yeah, I'm going. I want those Hunts to know that I'm officially yours. Let's see if they have more shameless tricks up their sleeves."When it came to describing the Hunts, Tally summed it up

Tally was beginning to see where Markus got his persistent nature from. It ran in the family. It was as the saying went—like father, like son.No sooner had she ended the call, the phone rang again.Tally took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was supposed to be a happy day, not one filled with annoyance.But dealing with these people…After giving it some thought, she hesitantly answered, "Zane!""Ms. Johnson, you might want to come over to the Hunt residence."Tally asked, "What's going on now?"She was almost out of patience with these people.Zane explained, "Mr. Markus left behind a suicide note."Tally's expression froze in disbelief.A suicide note? Tally couldn't comprehend what was happening. She wondered if Markus was pulling another one of his stunts.It had only been less than an hour since Elijah arranged his marriage, and now he went ahead and left a suicide note."Where is he?" Tally raised an eyebrow.With everything happening so quickly, it all f

Looking at her identification papers, Tally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Tally had some knowledge of her father's habits. Otherwise, guessing the password for the safe, which belonged to her comatose father, would have been a daunting task.When Irina called, Tally answered, "Hey, Irina.""Guess what? Markus is engaged!""What?" Tally was shocked.Irina shared her surprise."This time, it seems Mr. Hunt Senior might genuinely have it out for you. We haven't even made a move, and suddenly they're announcing Markus and Sarah's engagement.""Sarah?" Tally was even more surprised.It was only today that they found out who had been secretly admiring Markus. Before they could even step in, Elijah had taken the initiative.It seemed like all these years, Elijah appeared unconcerned, but he actually knew everything.But if he was dead set on hating her, then so be it. Tally couldn't care less.On the other hand, if Elijah truly desired for her and Markus to be together all

Elijah said, "Very well, then."Thinking about his troublesome son, Elijah wondered how he hadn't noticed Markus' extremity in his romantic pursuits before.Elijah was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.Giving Markus a fierce look, he tried to hold back. Despite that, he couldn't resist putting in one final word, "No matter how much you want to be with Tally, I won't allow it."This time, there was no room for negotiation.At Elijah's words, Markus' eyes turned cold. "I'm afraid you have no say in this.""You..." Elijah's breath hitched as he heard Markus' retort. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a teacup and hurled it toward him.At that moment, Elijah felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at Markus.Elijah insisted, "Regardless of your decision, you and Sarah are officially engaged starting today."His tone was unusually firm.At this point, Elijah wasn't asking for Markus' opinion. He was simply informing him.Regarding Tally becoming Elijah's daughter-in-law, Elijah

Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you a call."Jessica seemed really busy, and Kathryn could tell from the way she talked that she was in a rush.Kathryn couldn't help but feel for Jessica as she watched her close the car door and hurried off toward the nearby office building, waving goodbye as she went.Kathryn found herself wondering who Jessica was in such a rush to meet.Kathryn couldn't resist stealing a glance back as the car pulled away. In that brief moment, Kathryn's heart skipped a beat as she saw Jessica walking alongside Lloyd. They were heading toward the glass doors of the building.Before Kathryn could double-check what she saw, the car had already turned.
