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?
Kathryn was very gentle when she was here previously. So, why was she acting so greedy now?However, Chris was treating her with a lot of care, so the maid didn't dare to refute her at all. "All right, I'll tell Mr. Lowe immediately." The maid quickly went down with the packed items. When she walked to the door, she saw Tally, who had been waiting for a long time. She called respectfully, "Hello, Ms. Johnson."When Kathryn heard her words, she immediately turned around. She saw Tally, and the arrogance on her face was immediately gone.The maid went downstairs in a hurry, fearing that Kathryn would be unhappy with something else. It was really annoying.After the maid walked a distance away, Tally approached Kathryn and clicked her tongue, "This is how you should be. Now, you look like the lady of the house." Before, anyone could step on Kathryn without repercussions. Tally felt worried just by looking at her.Kathryn hummed, "As if I want to be the lady of the house.""Well, y
Before Tally could reply, Kathryn said, "Tally, I'll pay you back as soon as possible."After going to Brookside Town, she contacted the management there. The manager was a very enthusiastic old man, and he particularly loved relief sculptures. When he found out Lewis taught her, he was even more curious about her skills.Just like that, the old manager helped promote her work in the sculpting industry. It opened a lot of doors for her. Just this morning, Kathryn had received a gig. She had to make a relief sculpture of 30 square feet for the gate of a scenic spot.The client agreed to let her do it after she gave birth to her child. The payment for this order was worth a few hundred thousand dollars. In the past, she had to forgo her dignity for money. But now that she had found a way out of her predicament, she felt proud.Tally still didn't understand how Kathryn was so brave. She took a few deep breaths. "Do you really think paying me back is the issue now?""I'll definitely p
Instead, Chris asked, "What did she ask you to do with them?""She wants me to either return them or throw them away!"For a frugal woman with no opinion of her own, Kathryn was perfectly capable of calling the shots. Chris scoffed at the thought. He said nothing in response and walked upstairs. When he arrived at the nursery, he heard Kathryn shouting, "You just can't spoil men too much! They'll just take advantage of your kindness!"Tally cringed at her outburst. This entire situation was getting more and more absurd. She was happy for Kathryn when she told her about the big sculpting gig she had scored. However, her livelihood was still in Chris' control.Tally coughed. "Well, even though you have ways of earning money now, you shouldn't let that inflate your ego."Although she could understand Kathryn's feelings for getting her spirit crushed by Chris, her ability to make money wasn't enough to catch Chris' eye.If they pissed him off, they wouldn't be a match for him.
