"Tally is here. I …""Walk slowly," Chris reprimanded sternly.Kathryn was stunned for a brief moment. Then, she said arrogantly, "Don't raise your voice at me. I haven't forgiven you yet."Chris was rendered speechless.Her words had shunned him back to his place.When he finally snapped back into reality, Kathryn was nowhere in sight.Since last night, Frank had witnessed Chris sulking countless times.He couldn't help but stifle a laugh as he saw how helpless Chris was toward Kathryn.Chris was brewing in anger."That stupid girl!"She was getting bolder now.How could she not forgive him? What was she trying to do? Hold this over his head?Frank laughed. "Mrs. Albert had become quite a character this time.""And is that supposed to be a good thing? Can't you see that she is about to turn the world upside down?"Chris couldn't accept Frank's comment.He thought Kathryn's character was becoming a handful. His head couldn't help but throb.Frank replied, "It's better t
His comment didn't seem appropriate. What did he mean by "a devil in disguise?"Victor couldn't help but defend Tally over the phone. "You're biting the hand that fed you."If it weren't for Tally, your wife and baby would be spending Lloyd's money."Kathryn would have been starving if Lloyd wasn't in the picture.Tally supported his wife and baby for him. Yet, there wasn't a single good word for her from him. This was unacceptable.Chris asked, "Are you coming?""Of course, why wouldn't I? I'm coming now."Then, he hung up.Chris only realized something after hearing the beeping from the phone—why didn't he call Markus?Tally and Kathryn were only away from each other for a few days.Yet, they were inseparable and couldn't stop talking.Victor arrived an hour later and found them talking in hushed voices in the room.Victor saw the darkened look on Chris' face and asked, "Are you sure I can get her from the room?" Kathryn brought Tally into her room with Chris. Never in
Chris was already unhappy. Now, his face was more somber than ever."Kat, you shouldn't eat too much junk food like ice cream. You're pregnant."Tally heard Kathryn's comment about bland food and immediately remembered the Brookside Town shops from her transactions.Everything she ate was heavily seasoned.Hence, the food here tasted bland to her.The atmosphere in the dining hall became palpably cold after her thoughtless remark.Victor felt something was off. He cleared his throat and said to Tally, "Finish your food quickly. We have something to attend to.""What do we have?"Tally looked at Victor, perplexed.Tally continued before Victor could answer, "I want to go shopping with Kat."The baby was due soon. Kathryn would need to get baby supplies.Chris had prepared everything already. Yet, when they saw the supplies upstairs, they were decent but not up to their standards.A gloomy look painted Chris' face again.This time, Victor immediately noticed his displeasure.
Kathryn was about to visit Jessica with Tally after lunch. Yet, she received a call from Jessica at Sunshine Bay.Jessica told Kathryn on the phone, "I'm busy this afternoon. Let's reschedule. You should rest since you just got back.""Oh, okay."Jessica said she was busy so Kathryn couldn't visit her.Yet, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you taken care of Kelly's situation?"Something happened when she mentioned transferring Kelly to a different school.She was unsure if Chris was still helping Jessica."She transferred to a different school already," Jessica replied.However, she was struggling more because of the transfer. Yet, she didn't say a word about it on the phone.Jessica didn't wait for Kathryn to respond and said, "I will change Kelly's name in a few days."She wasn't Matthew's actual daughter.So, Kelly shouldn't be a Quinton anymore.She didn't know who the father was and had nothing to do with the man.So, she would change Kelly's surname to her maiden nam
"It looks like you haven't been taking care of your diet.""I don't care. What can you do about it?" Kathryn instinctively retorted when she heard the displeasure from Chris' tone.That triggered Chris even more.He could tell that Kathryn had picked up a few bad habits when she was away.She had gotten undeniably bolder too.Money couldn't control her anymore. There wasn't much she was afraid of at this point.Chris, in his fit of rage, couldn't help but pinch her soft lips."Hmm!" Kathryn groaned in pain.Then, he pinched her face. Tears welled up in her eyes. "What are you doing?"He pinched her face! Didn't he know how painful that was?Chris snorted coldly, "Try talking back at me again, huh?""I …"Before she could finish, she noticed Chris raising his hand. Kathryn instinctively swallowed her words.Yet, she realized she was no longer terrified of him. She didn't resign to her fate and said, "Don't listen to me if you don't like it."She said to say something in re
Chris' sudden actions shocked everyone present.Frank hurried forward. "Mr. Albert, what would Mrs. Albert like to have? Should I get someone to—""Get out!" Chris coldly ordered before Frank could finish speaking. Right now, he couldn't trust others to handle the amount of spice and sugar they put in the dishes.Chris probably didn't care so much about this previously, but ever since the misdiagnosis, he had become more concerned. Kathryn only ate a little for lunch or dinner.Chris made her a plate of spicy spaghetti salad. There were some cucumbers in the fridge, so he added some to the salad. As soon as he was done, his phone started vibrating. He asked Nalia to serve the food while he walked outside to answer the phone. Nalia still hadn't recovered from her shock when Frank ordered, "Hurry up and serve it!""Oh, okay!" Nalia nodded and quickly served the food to Kathryn. There was even some eggs in the salad. They had never seen their boss cook before. But now, looking at
Nalia came into the room with the spicy spaghetti salad. "Mrs. Albert.""Yes?""Get up and have some spicy spaghetti salad."Kathryn was silent. When she heard the words "spicy spaghetti salad", she immediately felt energized and quickly sat up from the sofa. Seeing this, Nalia put the plate on the table and helped her.Kathryn could already smell the food. When she saw some eggs in the salad, she felt her appetite come alive. Now that she was pregnant, her taste was constantly changing. She had been craving spicy food these days."You should try it," Nalia said.Kathryn asked, "How did you make this?"When she was downstairs just now, Chris kept micromanaging what the kitchen could make for her. But it was so rare to see them make some spicy spaghetti salad under his watchful eye.Kathryn took a bite, and she felt better.Nalia said, "Mr. Albert made this."Kathryn froze as she held her fork. She looked at Nalia in disbelief.Nalia explained, "Mr. Albert felt sorry for you.
Before Martha could say anything, Chris said, "I'm still busy, so I'm hanging up!""Wait!" When Martha realized Chris didn't want to keep talking, she panicked. She held back her anger and asked, "Then, you're not serious about this, are you?"Since Chris was just teaching Emily a lesson, he wouldn't let her rot in prison, right?It wasn't that Martha didn't believe in her son, but some things had happened between them, so she knew very well that Chris wouldn't forgive her so easily. There was a reason why their relationship had been strained for years.Noticing Martha's nervousness, Chris snickered, "What do you mean by serious?""You—""She needs to take responsibility for her own actions. And I'm very serious about taking responsibility for my wife."Martha remained silent."Since you two claim that you're doing this for my own good, you'd better think about what you should and should not do!"After saying that, Chris hung up, not giving Martha a chance to reply. Seriously?
