"I don't want to!" Kathryn snarled furiously.She wouldn't just listen to what he said now. She was convinced that he was trying to take control of everything. She wasn't afraid of him anymore.The corner of Chris' lips twitched instinctively when Kathryn talked back to him. He noticed that she had grown bolder. He took off his jacket directly and put it over Kathryn's head.Chris ignored Kathryn's actions as she struggled to get rid of his jacket. He scooped her up and carried her into the room directly.They hadn't really finished their breakfast just now. Yet, it seemed they couldn't continue eating since Kathryn behaved like that.He took her to the bedroom directly, but Kathryn was reluctant to get inside as they arrived at the doorway."Let go of me. I don't want to get inside!""You …" Chris was surprised that Kathryn was so stubborn. Was she really reluctant to come back? He didn't expect that Kathryn would have such an unyielding temper now."I don't want to. We're d
However, Chris knew it was too late to regret his decisions."Alright, alright. I shouldn't have tried to find you, but you have to listen to me for the next ten minutes, no matter how furious you are right now.""I don't want to listen!""You have to!" Chris sounded even more serious. He was very certain that Kathryn would run away from him again if he failed to explain things to her clearly today.Nobody would've expected that Kathryn, who used to be so fragile and soft-tempered, would be able to let Chris, who was the coldest and merciless person out there, calm her down like that. Kathryn pouted her lips and looked at him with teary eyes. It made Chris, who had wanted to explain, instantly embrace her instinctively."Alright. Stop crying."Chris suddenly had the thought of not wanting Kathryn to feel resentful ever again. Even though he had admitted that it was his fault just now just to calm Kathryn down, he sincerely believed it was his fault.Chris recapitulated what ha
Kathryn actually believed what Chris had said even though he had really met Mia back then. After all, she had truly witnessed how Chris had treated Mia herself.Yet, there was another problem that troubled her."Mr. Huber said that you've gotten engaged again. Who is she?" Kathryn thought that Chris might have gotten involved with Susan instead if it wasn't Mia.Chris was stunned. "When did I get engaged?""I'm asking you about it."Chris was speechless. He noticed something all of a sudden. Did it mean that Kathryn had contacted Lewis?"Mr. Huber told you that I'm engaged?""Yeah.""You contacted him?" It was Chris' turn to be resentful. He had contacted Lewis when he was looking for Kathryn, but Lewis had told him that Kathryn hadn't contacted him. He guessed perhaps Kathryn had contacted Lewis after him.However, he felt uneasy as he didn't expect that the first person she contacted wasn't him or Jessica, but Lewis instead.He was also dissatisfied with what Lewis had to
"He said nothing when I went to find him last night. Do you think I would have anything to say to him now?"Did Henry say Markus had something to say to her?Did he think he could say what he pleased? He wasn't interested in listening to anyone else.Henry heard the sarcasm in Tally's tone. He couldn't help but scratch his head awkwardly.Honestly, he wouldn't agree to Markus buying over Isaac's shares.It didn't matter what his intentions were, but it would definitely rub Tally the wrong way.This was exactly what happened. It was as if he disturbed the lioness in her sleep; she was terrifying."Tell him to get down from his high horse. He must not dare think everyone is terrified of him because he had the world in his hands once."Tally dropped her sarcasm and went toward the elevator.Her stone-cold attitude was obvious—she didn't want to see Markus.Cold sweat instantly broke on Henry's back. He quickly went after her. "Ms. Johnson, Isaac's shares would impact you greatly
"She's asleep!" Chris said that and immediately hung up on her.Tally was stupefied as the "beep" sounded on the phone.What a boor Chris was!His wife was spending her own money to survive the past few days. How could he turn his back on her like that?"Hmph, birds of the same feather flock together." She was insulting Markus too.Yet, she quickly realized Victor was amongst them too, so she didn't curse any further.But, what was with his attitude? He wouldn't allow her to meet Kathryn.He ought to know their friendship was as solid as a rock.Did he think he could stop Tally from seeing Kathryn because he said so? She was certain Kathryn would take no more than three days to find her.How socially inept Chris was!Tally could use her relationship with Kathryn to put in a good word for him. He would be set up for a good life.Chris had better pray that he'd never argue with Kathryn ever again. How dare he offend a mediator like Tally?Everything was barely going Tally's w
They'd finally had a taste of downright indifference from men of the Albert family.Savanna saw how unwell Krista was and handed her a glass of milk. "Eat some breakfast, okay?"Krista shook her head blankly.All she could think about was the fear in Kathryn's eyes when she saw her.The ruthless things she did to Kathryn in the past were playing in her mind like a movie.These images were a kind of mental torture for her.'You can't go on like this. You must perk up," Savanna said worriedly as she looked at Krista's haggard face.Krista heaved a deep breath as tears swelled up in her eyes."You know what those men from the Albert family are like. They'll coddle you when they are in a good mood. But, they could turn against you and do something heinous when they are heartless. Are you sure you want to leave her with Chris?"From where Savanna stood, Kathryn reconciling with Chris continued to worry them.Plus, Franco was a casanova. He might have passed down this horrible trai
Frankly speaking, they only identified Kathryn's identity based on the birthmark. Coincidences may not happen every day, yet this was too big of a coincidence to ignore.It would be to their benefit to run a maternity test to be extra sure.Savanna only realized this in hindsight. She had been too emotionally involved in handling Kathryn's matter previously.She looked at Krista and asked gently, "What do you think?"At the end of the day, it was Krista who had the final say. It was her daughter, after all.Krista, on the other hand, was only shocked momentarily.Now, a firm look settled in her eyes as she shook her head. "There's no need. I won't be wrong about my own daughter."She knew what it meant to go through with the maternity test.Plus, she had no clue if Kathryn was willing to accept her.Yet, it didn't matter whether she was willing. Going through with this maternity test would inevitably push her away. Savanna agreed with Krista not to go through with it.Aft
Susan was taken aback.In the midst of it, panic flickered in her eyes.It was so fast that Benjamin didn't notice it.He nodded in delight. "Yes. If everything goes well, she should be with us in no time."All these years, they had never given up looking for Kathryn.Their mother had no choice but to leave the tiny baby at the hospital entrance back then.They always thought she was still alive, but were unsure how life was for her.So, they never gave up searching for her."Oh, that's great! Who is she?" Susan asked with a smile.She looked delighted.Benjamin didn't share Kathryn's name and only said, "Let's wait for the results first."After all, years had passed.His mother, who had passed on, was the one who shared about his sister's scar.No one had seen it with their own eyes what the scar looked like. So, it was better to wait for the results.Years had passed. They had lost track of the number of disappointments they endured.They prayed to God not to let them
