Bright Future With Him Chapter 639
Kathryn protested, "I can do it myself."It was just bathing and showering. She knew to be more careful.However, Chris' tone grew stern. "I said no. If you take a bath or shower unassisted from now on, I'm firing those maids."Was he threatening her with their staff's livelihood?Kathryn wrinkled her nose. "You meanie.""Not as mean as a trickster like you."Kathryn grew beet red at that, recalling how Chris had searched all available nooks and crannies for her, only to realize she had been by his side all this while. Pregnant, too.Chris couldn't hold back anymore. He leaned in to kiss his wife deeply on the lips before tapping her nose. "No more lying to me."His trust in her was too deep. How else would he have gotten fooled so easily by her?"I wouldn't dare!" Kathryn recalled how she and Tally had nearly lost their lives back then. They couldn't handle something as strenuous as that a second time.Chris nodded happily. "Let's hope that's true."It really was.Chris we

"I will. Get some sleep now." Chris gently kissed Kathryn's forehead, cuddling her to sleep.Kathryn was worried about Tally and couldn't keep the exhaustion at bay anymore. She had exerted too much during their time in Fernland.Soon, her breathing evened as she sank into deep sleep.…Tally spent the entire night in a meeting, only replying to Kathryn's text message the next morning. "Don't worry. I've got everything under control. You focus on resting up."Tally couldn't help but sigh, contemplating her friend's genuine concern, even though the latter was pregnant. Despite wanting to shower Kathryn with attention, Tally had to conserve her energy for the greater challenges ahead.After replying to Kathryn's message, Victor called. Tally hesitated before answering, recalling how diligent and serious Irina had been throughout the night."Yes?"Victor asked gently, "Do you want me to pick you up for breakfast or deliver some over?""Neither, thanks.""I can drop some off if

Victor did think Tally might have wanted to abandon him at the altar, and the entire scenario did give the impression that Markus might have intended to abduct her. As for her father's sudden appearance in Fernland and his decision to take her away before Victor arrived, well … maybe it really was part of Markus' plans, as Irina had put it."I'm going to prepare for the upcoming meeting with Taylor. I'll have someone send you breakfast later," Irina said."Thank you," came Tally's calm reply.Unable to tell what was on Tally's mind, Irina nodded and left.Once Tally was alone, she shed the mask she had put on, letting her sorrow show. She had long known she couldn't bear losing her father. In fact, a life spent without his presence terrified her.It was a terrible thing to have to prepare for, really.A knock suddenly came on the door."Come in," Tally said, expecting whoever Irina had sent to get her breakfast to be outside.Her heart leaped into her throat when she noticed
Bright Future With Him Chapter 642
Tally nodded firmly. "Thank you.""Silly," Victor said fondly, shaking his head."Come on, let's eat. I'm starving."Victor beamed at her. The two then dug in.Having expended so much of her energy last night had made Tally realize her work here was worlds apart from being in the Skyline Group. It was a world of politics and backdoors here, one that she needed to master. Tally had truly grasped just how difficult a position her father had been in for years, all in a single night.She finished three servings of eggs, all the bacon and sausages, and a whole kiwi.Victor finished the rest. Irina returned to find the two in the midst of their meal. She smiled quietly, glad her earlier effort did not go to waste.When Victor exited the room, Irina swiftly reported last night's meeting result to him.Victor nodded in approval. "Very good. Can you resolve everything within a month?"Irina nodded, realizing that she had an entire month dedicated to helping Tally win over the Johns

Henry kept silent, not knowing what to say. No one anticipated things to turn out like this, after all.Markus took a deep breath before saying, "Call Tally.""What?" Henry asked, shocked when Markus requested that he contact Tally. Henry couldn't help but wonder if it would be inappropriate, considering she was still grappling with her family company's problems. It seemed unlikely that she would answer the call.Markus insisted, saying, "Tell her I'm having lunch with her!"Henry found himself bewildered and momentarily speechless. Shortly after, he offered in a kind tone, "Mr. Glenn had sent her breakfast this morning."Henry couldn't be any more obvious than that. Markus' expression darkened. "Victor personally sent Tally breakfast?""Yes. Early this morning, too."When did that shithead Victor become so caring?Markus had already gotten a headache because of the incident in Fernland. After hearing about this, he got even more irritated.Henry, on the other hand, was wo

Henry debated within himself whether it was suitable to approach Chris with this query. After all, Markus was using the same tactics Chris had once used on Kathryn.Chris walked out onto the balcony. "Are you sure you want my thoughts on this?""You've managed to keep Kathryn by your side for so long!""Yes, I have. But Tally isn't someone who's easily intimidated, is she?"Markus remained silent, acknowledging the validity of Chris's statement. Unlike Kathryn, Tally was much bolder.The two women might be friends, but their personalities were different. So, how could the same tactics apply?"She's different from Kathryn," Chris said. "Right now, she's already on her way to taking over her family company."Meanwhile, Kathryn remained a dear, shy little lady by Chris' side. Before his appearance in her life, it was Tally who protected her. That meant Tally had some bravado and guts to her for sure."If you could help Tally deal with the problems she's facing in the Johnson Group

Chris had only wanted to avoid falling for Krista's trap in the first place, hence why he had decided to find the identity of that woman from that fateful night. He was shocked when he found out it was Kathryn all along.Prior to finding out, all he wanted was to erase Kathryn from his life. But things naturally changed afterward.Chris never pondered marriage due to his parents' relationship. However, Kathryn's existence in his life had changed that, making him realize how meaningful and lovely it was to spend the rest of his life with a woman he loved."Ugh … I'm thirsty," Kathryn moaned softly when Chris went to caress her face.Chris went to get her a glass of water before helping her sit up so she could drink.She then fell back asleep.Chris would be extra busy today, as he had a lot of work to catch up on after having been in Fernland for half a month. So he went to the office before Kathryn woke up again. Before leaving, however, he instructed Frank, "If she's still a

Without Chris around, her appetite barely existed.Nalia noticed this and asked, "Do you still feel tired, madam?""Why?""If you're feeling like it, you could send Mr. Albert his lunch."Kathryn cheered up upon hearing that. "Let's go then!""But you haven't even had your first meal of the day. Let me have the kitchen prepare something while you finish your meal.""Alright!" Kathryn nodded, eating as much as she could in the shortest time possible. As she ate, she dialed Chris' number. But he didn't answer her call even when she had called him for the second time. So Kathryn called Tara, who was with Chris in the hospital. She said to Chris, "Sir, it's madam.""Don't tell her we're at the hospital," Chris ordered. He had just undergone some tests and was currently waiting for their results. He had an IV drip attached. Tara nodded and answered the call. "Yes, madam?""Has Chris had lunch, Tara? I can send some over if he hasn't."Chris' gaze softened upon hearing that. H

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.
