Kathryn was no longer afraid of Chris like she was before. She realized he was really nasty as she remembered how he had treated her.She was resentful of his behavior as he obviously knew everything. She was really frightened back then.Chris immediately retorted when he heard how furious she sounded. "I can't."He wouldn't allow her to forbid him from teasing her anymore. Chris eventually brought Kathryn back to the bedroom. He gently laid her down on the bed. He couldn't help but bend down to kiss her forehead.Kathryn was so small and soft. Chris just couldn't get enough of her."Stop it," Kathryn said. She was pushing against his chest with her hand, worrying that he was trying to do something to her.Chris grabbed her restless hand and chuckled, "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you.""You've eaten me before," Kathryn mumbled resentfully.Chris smiled wolfishly as she mentioned the past. He remembered many things that happened back then. He used to want to tease her
Krista took the booties and mittens Savanna had made for Kathryn's child and examined them when she arrived home. Her eyes brimmed with tenderness.Savanna, wearing her reading glasses, engaged in an activity she had never quite settled into over the years. Despite her past avoidance, she now held a knitting kit in her hands.In that moment, Savanna felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and stability."This is so tiny. Will the baby fit into it?" Krista asked."How big do you want it? He's still a baby."Krista was clueless. After bringing Kathryn into the world, Krista missed the chance to take a good look at her before she was immediately sent away.Even after giving birth to Phineas, she seldom spent time with him. Absorbed in her pursuit of power and influence after marrying into the Alberts, she entrusted Phineas to the care of a nanny.It suddenly dawned on her. Whether her children had grown up under her care or not, they had never really received much love from her.
Everyone in Harborlean knew that Krista was the type of person willing to do anything to achieve her goals.Why did she believe Kathryn was her daughter, even though she hadn't conducted a DNA test yet?Besides, the Winchesters wouldn't allow Susan to marry Chris anymore. Was it necessary for Krista to defend Kathryn in such a malicious way?A sense of coldness emerged in Krista's smile. "I'm sorry. I really have no idea what you're talking about, Mr. Benjamin. What do you mean?""You …" Benjamin was hitting the roof. He instinctively clenched his fists.Krista stood up and walked toward Benjamin. She lifted her head and asked, "Did Susan tell you that I rammed her on purpose?""Didn't you?" Benjamin sneered.With a scoff, Krista's laughter added a layer of sarcasm to the already tense atmosphere. She continued in an indifferent tone, saying, "It's good that she's aware of it. Perhaps it would be more beneficial if she could view the accident as a valuable lesson.""You're fi
Travis hastily shoved Benjamin into the car before he could regain his footing. Once inside, Travis sped away, the engine roaring as they left Krista's residence. The events unfolded so swiftly that it felt as if there hadn't been a conflict just moments ago.Wiping the corner of his lips, Benjamin discovered his hand was smeared with blood. Gasping in pain, he shot an irritated look at Travis, who was focused on driving. "What's wrong with you?"Resentment brewed within Benjamin due to Travis' actions as his pain intensified. Travis was driving at a very high speed at the moment. Swiftly navigating a sharp turn, he seamlessly merged onto the main road.Benjamin hadn't secured his seatbelt. Consequently, his head collided with the car window during the abrupt turn, leaving him with a noticeable bump. His frustration boiled over.Travis glanced at him coldly. "Did you forget what I told you?""I didn't come for Kathryn today!" Benjamin growled furiously, wincing in pain once mo
Despite everything, Kathryn remained blissfully unaware. She stayed relaxed by Chris' side, often spacing out. With Chris providing her six meals daily, she emerged from the postpartum period with a healthy glow that sparked envy. Krista had been sending a lot of stuff to Sunshine Bay. Some were for the baby, while others were for Kathryn's postpartum care. However, Kathryn remained oblivious to these gestures. The kitchen staff had prepared a breakfast yogurt bowl with a mix of berries. While Kathryn enjoyed the flavors, she was clueless about the dish's composition and had no awareness of the high cost associated with the ingredients.The entirety of the month saw Chris standing by her side at Sunshine Bay, marking a month since she had given birth. Chris pondered the idea of bringing her to work with him.Kathryn asked, "Can we bring the baby with us?"Chris' countenance fell instantly. Unbeknownst to everyone, he had been in a month-long struggle for bed space with the bab
Chris took the folder from Tara and opened it right away, extracting the documents from within. The folder contained only a handful of documents, yet it provided a clear and thorough explanation of everything that transpired before Krista became a part of the Albert family.Chris had to acknowledge Tara's competence. Markus had hired her to work at the Albert Group before he left the company. Her thorough investigation extended to every detail, even though it concerned events from long ago.Upon finishing the reading, a frown creased Chris' face as he turned his attention toward Tara. "She didn't marry that husband of hers, then?"Tara nodded. "Back then, she felt embarrassed about him because he was a penniless painter. She adamantly refused to marry him under any circumstances."Tara had even unearthed the reason behind Krista's rejection of the painter. Indeed, Tara was quite capable."Where is he now?"Tara remained silent. Everything had been outlined in the documents. Ch
"Please don't mess with the portions, " Krista added, a sense of unease creeping in. The nanny nodded again. "Yes, I understand. No need to worry." Krista had more to say, but suddenly, Kathryn seized the package from the nanny and thrust it into Krista's arms. The peaceful scene just moments ago took an abrupt turn, now filled with tension and conflict.Krista's chest instinctively constricted at the sight of Kathryn, mirroring the surprise evident on the nanny's face."M-Mrs. Albert!"The nanny's anxious tone sparked instant anger in Kathryn, nearly causing her to lose her cool. Her furious gaze then turned toward Krista. However, Kathryn was too incensed to utter a word.Krista was too stunned to speak. Krista observed the fury in Kathryn's eyes as they locked gazes. The overwhelming atmosphere made it hard for her to breathe, and she felt stifled at the moment."K-Kathryn …""What is that?" Kathryn asked coldly.Kathryn had witnessed Krista's frightening side before.
Tally found herself buried under a mountain of work at the moment, thanks to the mess she had gotten into after the vacation at Yonder Canyon. Undoubtedly, Markus was the culprit once again.In Tally's opinion, Markus had never done anything remotely acceptable.She had just exited the meeting room when she received a phone call from Kathryn. Her face instantly fell when Kathryn told her what had happened."Did you say that Krista was trying to harm you again? She was crying when she was caught red-handed? Are you sure that you are talking about Krista?"Tally believed Krista was trying to harm Kathryn, but she found it hard to believe Kathryn's claim that Krista had cried. Krista didn't even shed a tear when she got kicked out of the Albert family. Instead, she recklessly sought revenge on Franco. Tally was surprised to learn that Krista's tears had been brought on by Kathryn's accusation. She pondered over the motive behind Krista's tears. Was it an attempt to gain sympathy
