Bright Future With Him Chapter 167
"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

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

When the two of them finished their breakfast and went out, dawn was just breaking. The driver was waiting for them outside, but Kathryn was walking very slowly with her suitcase. Chris turned around, then stopped to wait for her. "Why are you so slow?" He didn't know what to do with her walking pace.Whenever she held anything, she'd become as slow as a snail. Chris found Kathryn useless. Kathryn huffed and puffed as she walked. "It's heavy."But when Chris took her luggage, it wasn't heavy at all. "Let me do it, Mr. Albert," Kathryn said. She felt bad about it and wanted to take Chris' luggage. Usually, assistants helped their bosses carry their things on business trips. Yet here she was, needing help from her boss.In the distance, the driver hastily got out when he saw them. He even shot Kathryn a strange look when he took Chris' luggage from him. Clearly, some people still weren't used to their marriage. After all, Kathryn had always been his assistant. That was why t

Kathryn wondered if drinking on his behalf was all she was good for. She wondered if she truly had no other use for him. Kathryn looked at Chris, feeling very conflicted.Chris looked at her coldly. "What?""Nothing!" Kathryn didn't dare tell him that she couldn't drink. If this really were her only purpose, she'd probably get fired if she told him.She still found it hard to believe she was that bad at her job. She was obedient, and she did her part. How could Chris deny her worth just like that? She felt miserable, but she didn't dare say anything.During the flight, both she and Chris sat in business class. The flight attendant gave them some snacks. Kathryn wanted to eat them even though she usually wasn't interested in them.Chris was still not interested in them, so Kathryn opened a bag with her teeth. The tearing sound woke Chris, who was napping, and he looked at her in an instant.Kathryn gulped and asked weakly, "D-Did I wake you?""Didn't I say you are getting fat?"
Bright Future With Him Chapter 172
Kathryn took a deep breath, then asked, "You said I'm clumsy at work. How did I manage to survive this long without getting fired?"After all, his past assistants had never survived this long. She heard the previous record was three months, and even then, that one got fired for trying to seduce Chris.Compared to those previous assistants, her work skills were average at best. She was organized, but she wasn't exceptional in any way.If anything, she was worse than all of them. She seemed like a good worker, but she was capable of messing up anything. So, she always needed someone to check her work. Chris started thinking hard when he heard the question. When he didn't respond, Kathryn took another deep breath and asked, "Is it because I'm a good drinker?"Chris froze and looked at Kathryn in confusion. After some thinking, he realized that it was truly her only strength. He nodded and said, "Yes, that sounds about right." Kathryn felt like the word "miserable" couldn't even

After all, Wendy was still in jail, and with Jessica in such a bad situation, there was no way she'd give him any money. His only hope was Kathryn.If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have spent so much in the past. Maxwell didn't know what he could do without any savings. Kathryn scoffed, "What are you supposed to do? What does that have to do with me?""Wait, Kathryn! You're my sister! You can't do this to me!" Maxwell was even more desperate now. If she didn't give him anything, he would probably starve in Harborlean.Kathryn wanted to laugh when he called her his sister. "You think of me as your sister?""Think of you? You are my sister," Maxwell hastily said."That's a shame. I never thought of you as my brother.""Hold on, Kathryn …"Kathryn hung up. The mention of her being his sister made her laugh. Kathryn had never considered Wendy her mother, so Maxwell wasn't really like a brother to her.After she hung up, Maxwell called her again, but she ignored it this t

Kathryn asked Chris with a straight face.Chris replied, "No, you're cute."Kathryn couldn't believe that Chris had called her cute. Was that a word Chris would say? Kathryn thought she was hearing things because Chris had always ignored the ladies in his office. In fact, he never said a word to them unless necessary, let alone praised their appearance. So what was he doing now?Why was he praising her so many times? Was she that ugly? Kathryn looked at Chris pitifully. "So, should I eat it or not?" Chris' words had caused her to develop eating issues.Chris pinched her face, which was full of baby fat. "When do you plan to wake up?""Why?" Kathryn was still half-asleep, so she had no idea what was going on.Chris glanced at his watch. "It's 6:00 pm. We need to go."Kathryn didn't know what to say. Upon hearing the word "go," she realized it was really time to get up. She couldn't have forgotten about tonight's meeting. But she still couldn't drink. Looking into Ch

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
Bright Future With Him Chapter 1338
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.
