Jessica was taken aback by how serious Kathryn had become. "What's the matter?"After the recent events, she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread when she saw Kathryn's stern expression. Kathryn's seriousness was typically an indicator of how grave the situation was.Kathryn took a deep breath. "Do you remember about staying in the wedding venue when you got married six years ago?""Yes, I remember!""Matthew had never set foot in that hotel before the wedding.""W-What do you mean?"Her face lost color instantly. Matthew had never been to the hotel, which meant he was not the man who had been in her room the night before the wedding.Kathryn noticed Jessica's face slowly paling. "You also know how passive Matthew was when you got married, so …"Jessica vividly remembered how passive he had been.Their parents had arranged their marriage, and Karen knew it was highly unlikely for Matthew to marry, given his conditions.So, the Quintons reluctantly accepted the idea of an

The poached chicken tasted amazing.Jessica made two more side dishes to go with the poached chicken. They were scrumptious. Kelly was silently eating her food. Jessica gave some of her chicken to Kelly, but the little girl thoughtfully put the chicken back onto Jessica's plate. She said, "It's too much, Mom and Aunt Kathryn. I can't finish it."Was she that full? They highly doubted it. A sorrowful feeling welled up in Kathryn's heart as she observed Kelly. Jessica's heart felt the same grief, too. "Silly girl, you should eat this. Your body needs the nutrients to grow."She placed the chicken back onto Kelly's plate as she spoke. Yet, Kelly was stubborn. As she was about to put the chicken back onto Jessica's plate, Kathryn quickly interfered, "I will give mine to your Mom. The baby in me doesn't like chicken that much."Kelly looked at Jessica. Jessica stopped Kathryn. But Kathryn gave Jessica a knowing look. If Jessica didn't eat the chicken, neither would the l

Kathryn walked out not long after the call ended.It seemed that Krista was probably here to visit someone. She didn't pay Kathryn any attention as she walked past.Kathryn breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Krista had let her off easy.The driver opened the car door for Kathryn. "After you, Mrs. Albert."The driver's greeting of "Mrs. Albert" caught Krista's ear. In the past, all she felt was utter hatred for whoever addressed Kathryn as "Mrs. Albert".Franco's wife, Mrs. Albert was still present, yet Chris instructed everyone to refer to Kathryn as Mrs. Albert. Clearly, Chris held no regard for the Albert Manor.Yet, all she felt at that moment was a deep sense of heartache and uncertainty upon hearing that title.Why was her daughter at odds with her?Kathryn finally heaved a sigh of relief after getting into the car. Out of worry, she asked the driver, "Have you checked the car brakes?"Krista might not have confronted her, but that didn't prevent Kathryn from feelin

Chris asked the kitchen to prepare meatballs for Kathryn's dinner. Her favorite was beef meatballs with chives and onion, but Chris didn't fancy them as much. So, he requested a steak instead.As Chris reached for his wine glass at the dining table, Kathryn inquired, "My sister is wondering who that man was from six years ago."With a contemplative nod, Chris remarked, "It's important to know, at the very least, who the child's father is."When a woman had no idea who her child's father was, it didn't just affect the child; it left a void in her life. So, uncovering the man's identity was of paramount importance. No matter what it took, she needed to know who the man was."Please discreetly investigate it then," Kathryn asked, her tone cautious. Caution was necessary in this matter. Otherwise, Jessica and Kelly would suffer the brunt of it again.Chris nodded in agreement.After dinner, Chris took Kathryn for a walk.Sunshine Bay was a vast area filled with private villas, a

"Okay, I got it," Kathryn said, nodding.The maid left, leaving Kathryn and Nalia alone in the room.Kathryn asked Nalia, "Does Emily come here often?""Ms. Albert had never set foot in this place," Nalia answered.Kathryn nodded in acknowledgment. It seemed that not only the people from Albert Manor were kept in the dark; Emily might not even know that Chris was the mysterious owner of Sunshine Bay. Emily was not just his sister but also the closest person to him. Yet, he chose to hide this from her, too.Kathryn's heart ached for Chris again. He couldn't even trust the person closest to him. What kind of pain had he endured over the years to suffer alone like this?Without further thought, Kathryn went downstairs in her nightgown. Emily was seated on the sofa downstairs and saw Kathryn wearing her custom nightgown. Her rustic countryside demeanor was nowhere to be seen. As Emily looked at Kathryn, the former felt that the latter had grown more elegant during her time wi

Emily never expected Chris to use such a tone with her.Over the years, Krista had taken on the role of Mrs. Albert, as their mother had been overseas the entire time. Hence, her brother was the only close family member left in the country.Based on how Chris had spoken to her, it was evident that he was siding with Kathryn. Emily struggled to speak as she said, "Let's talk, Chris.""What's there to talk about?" Chris was clearly upset.She didn't say anything. Her intentions were clear—she had purposefully chosen a time when Chris wasn't home to speak with Kathryn.But what did she want with Kathryn?It didn't take long for Chris to piece things together. Despite all the developments, someone still wanted to interfere in his affairs. It seemed that these people couldn't grasp the situation."Let's go to the study," Emily suggested.Emily had witnessed firsthand how protective Chris was of Kathryn. She was hesitant to bring up anything related to her with him. An unmistakable

Emily was sure that Chris was comforting Kathryn, and she was even more convinced about what Kathryn had told Chris.Little did she know that Chris hadn't actually comforted Kathryn. To be more precise, he was shocked by Kathryn's little outburst. He went downstairs and instructed Frank to prepare food for Kathryn. He also asked Nalia to keep her company. All these arrangements took him some time.Emily took a deep breath as she looked at her brother, Chris. "Mom said she will be back in one week.""She's coming back?" Chris scoffed. That statement sounded ridiculous to him.Emily could sense the indifference in Chris' tone. Wasn't he eager for their mother to return?Perplexed, Emily looked at Chris. "I don't understand, Chris.""Ask her not to come back. Everything is a mess now," Chris responded. "We're in the final stages. I'm sure Krista has no ammunition left to retaliate against us."The topic of their mother's return would have been awkward to broach in the past.Kr

Chris noticed the shock on Emily's face and snorted, "Emily, never try to play tricks behind my back again. Or else …"Or else?Chris' tone had never been this threatening before. Emily might be his sister, but she was equally terrified by the level of threat. "Chris, you …""You know what I hate the most," Chris added. What did he hate most?He hated anyone who tried to manipulate him. But she hadn't intended to. She had been doing it for his own good. Emily's lips moved as if she were about to say something, yet no words emerged from her mouth as she met with Chris' cold gaze. Chris heaved a sigh. "Just go back, will you?""Mom will never agree to this. She reacted poorly toward Kathryn on the phone and insisted she had to leave," Emily stated."Enough!" Chris roared, his stern gaze fixed firmly on Emily. Emily was left speechless. She couldn't utter a single word as he continued to stare her down. One thing was certain—Chris' feelings for Kathryn were real. Eve
