Chapter 12 He was Still
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Crista looked down at the porridge made by Maria and got overwhelmed by her generosity. She was so touched that it made her teary. Her eyes welled up and tears streamed down her face.
"Mrs. Ding, please enjoy your breakfast. You ate nothing last night. You are still sick and I just received the news that Mr. Ding won't come back today. So, you can rest at home peacefully." Maria gave her an encouraging smile and went back to the kitchen.
After the breakfast, Crista put on a white coat and went to the garden. Sitting alone on a bench, she eyed around the place. The garden was beautiful, but she didn't like it. Her heavy heart made it impossible to concentrate on the beauty.
The entire day she stayed at home. But this could not go on forever. The next day, she went to school. Around noon, she went to the bank near the school alone. She had some savings there.
It was accumulated from her part-time jobs. The money was not much, but she could always work a

As they were eating, Crista looked up from the plate and turned around. Suddenly she froze when her eyes met William's sharp gaze directly on her. Carla followed William's gaze and located Crista. A smirk appeared on her face as she waited for the drama. "Chica, what's wrong?" Tristan held Crista's hand and shook it gently. "Are you cold? Why is your hand so cold?" "Oh, it's nothing. I'm fine." Crista forced a smile as she averted her gaze from William and looked down. She withdrew her hand gently from Tristan's hold, conscious of William's burning gaze that bore into her. She knew he was misunderstanding the whole situation. She'd have to face its consequences. "Come on, finish the food. Do you want more? I can order more for you." Tristan looked at her with adoration in his eyes. She was still that little girl whom he left years ago. He reached out and rubbed her hair softly. He wanted to come back before her eighteenth birthday and celebrat
Cruel Love Chapter 14 Humilliation
Crista couldn't say no to him when Tristan insisted. She wasn't sure how long she could hide the truth from him. But if she rejected him too many times, he would be suspicious. After leaving the cafe, Tristan drove her back to her school. "Chica, can you have dinner with me tonight?" Tristan eagerly waited for her response. He even was very reluctant to leave Crista. Crista felt guilty again to lie to him. But she had no other choice. She gave him a half-smile and said, "Tristan, I have work tonight. Let's do it sometime later." Tristan thought for a moment and then said, "Okay! This is my card. It has my new phone number. Call me if you have time." "Okay." Crista nodded with a smile and took the card from him. The card had his title printed on it. "Executive Director and Deputy CEO of Yu Group". After exchanging goodbyes to each other, Tristan left and Crista went back to attend her classes. When she returned to the villa after school, Willia
Cruel Love Chapter 15 Fiancee
William stood in front of the window, overlooking the garden below. An inner turmoil was going on inside him. The room was dark and the only light came from the lit cigarette held between his fingers. His jaws were clenched together making his aura look more domineering. His mind darted to the thought of that woman he had made his wife. He couldn't understand how she could affect his heart so much. When he saw her at the coffee shop, getting cozy with that man, something unusual shifted inside him. It surprised him more when she allowed that man to hold her hand and touch her hair. The way she smiled at him, it made William unreasonably angry. His phone rang suddenly. He glanced at the screen before answering the call. "Martin, how is it going? Have you got any information?" "Mr. Ding, his name is Tristan, the Deputy CEO of Yu Group," Martin answered. William had asked him to investigate this particular person without telling him the reason. Martin was slight
Cruel Love Chapter 16 Freedom
Tristan had a fiancee? The unexpected news shocked Crista. How could it be possible? Why didn't Tristan tell her anything? It meant the woman she saw with Tristan that day was his fiancee. If he was engaged already, why did he promise to be with her? He promised to give her a good life in the future. Was it nothing but a lie? "Don't tell me you don't know that," William taunted, noticing her surprised expression. Crista's eyes darted towards the documents in William's hand. She realized they were all related to Tristan. Of course! He was William Ding! A man whose one word was enough to decide if a person would continue to live or just die. It was ridiculous for her to expect anything good from him. "Why are you silent now? Cristine, I didn't really expect that you'd date such a man. Why are you now pretending to be surprised?" William dropped the photo of Tristan on the table and looked up at Crista. Crista considered whether she should
Cruel Love Chapter 17 Gave in Again
Before Crista could hang up the phone, William stood up quickly, grabbed her phone and threw it on the floor. The phone broke in half instantly. "My phone!" Crista screamed. She looked at the broken phone on the ground in horror. She bought the phone by saving money for several months. Although she had used the phone for many years, she couldn't afford another phone at this moment. "Oh? Are you bothered by that broken phone? You're from the Jin Family. This inexpensive phone must not too much for you. If you want to talk to Tristan, I can give you my phone." William was furious after learning Cristine didn't take him seriously when he asked her not to contact Tristan anymore. He walked towards her broken phone and stared at it with a scawl. "This old model of your phone is making me suspect whether you are really from the Jin Family." Crista flinched at his words. He had suspected her. What if he found out
Cruel Love Chapter 18 He wanted to know Her
In the club, sitting in the private room on the second floor, William overlooked the crowd on the first floor through the glass window. "Carla, you have managed this place so well." Carla handed a glass of wine to William. "Mr. Ding, how can I not since it's your order? How can I be careless in taking care of this place?" William had many entertainment clubs, hotels and other subsidiaries running under his name. He ran them all by himself, and Carla really could understand the pressure he put up with all the time. "Carla, are you tired?" As Carla sat beside him, William pulled her close by her waist. "If you feel tired, you can ask Martin to help you." Carla smiled. "Don't worry, Mr. Ding I'm fine. You saved my life. I'm willing and very glad to do everything for you." William nodded and gulped down the wine in the glass. "You follow me everywhere. If you keep doing that, you can't relax for yourself." Carla was the only woman who followed him everywh
Cruel Love Chapter 19 Tried His Best
Crista dragged her aching body to her room. She was sore all over. Leaning against the bed, she sat on the ground. Her eyes shifted to the bottle of contraceptive pills on the bedside table. How long would she have to do this? Sitting in his room, William took a drag of his cigarette and puffed out the smoke. His mind kept replaying what just happened. He wondered why he became so impulsive after being drunk. It never happened before. He still couldn't understand what kind of woman Cristine was? William wanted to investigate about her when he realized her behavior differed from what he had heard about her. But when Tristan showed up, he overlooked his suspicion. Her secret rendezvous with Tristan was enough proof. Crista grabbed her new phone, which was given by William. There was no other phone number except his. He really wanted her to cut off all contacts. She stared at it forlornly before putting it aside. A week passed by after that incident. Crista fear
Cruel Love Chapter 20 Pretend
Crista waited for Tristan in the cafe, but he didn't come, and it was already dark outside. Would he come today? She was confident that her Tristan would come. But after the night fell, when he didn't show up, she decided to leave. If she didn't leave now, she wouldn't be able to catch the last bus. When she was about to leave, a familiar figure walked into the cafe. "I'm sorry, Chica. I'm late." She beamed at him. Finally, her Tristan had come. But, her smile only lasted for a short moment. How would she explain things to him? She didn't even know how to start the conversation. Although, she had prepared for this meeting and thought of many ways she could explain, but now they seemed not good enough. "Chica, what's wrong? You look unhappy. Why? Are you sad because I'm late?" Tristan reached out and held her hand. His eyes were full of concern. "I'm really sorry, Chica. I was busy with some important work." Crista shook her head. "It's

You Are Not The Baby's Father Lewis sighed as he made Crista sit down on the sofa. "Will you feel bored staying at home?" Looking at him, Crista hesitated for a while before she shook her head. "Aren't you afraid that I might run away?" "Yes, I am." Lewis looked at her. He was obviously anxious. The only thing that scared him was Crista leaving him. "Then I won’t go out. I am afraid that I won't be able to control myself." Even though Crista knew that William had died, she still wanted to see him. She loved him so much, but she could not even see him one last time. "He is dead. Why are you so stubborn? Even if you did go back, what can you do now?” Lewis wondered why she was being so stubborn about returning to William. Did it mean that he would never get her love even though William had died? Would she never show him any mercy at all? "Then why do you have to do that? You can just leave me alone." Crista didn't want him to interfere her affair! He had lied to her many times n
Cruel Love Chapter 306
There Was Still No News About Her Lewis walked over to Crista and saw her in a daze. "What's wrong, Chica? Do you feel sick?" Her face had turned paler, which worried him. Looking at him, Crista remained silent. She didn't stop him when he put his coat on her shoulder and helped her sit on the bed. "If you don't feel good, then you'd better take rest. Don't you remember that the doctor asked you to rest in bed for the first three months?" Lewis felt like he was talking to himself. Was she even listening to him? Crista reached out and touched her belly. Only when she felt the child in her belly would she feel relieved. Leaning against the bed, Crista took a glance at the newspaper that was on the bedside table. She had not thrown it away yet. Perhaps she was using it to remind herself that she should not forget William. Lewis sat next to her and talked to her, but Crista ignored him and fell asleep. A bitter smile appeared on Lewis' lips. He could talk for hours, but she would sti

Will You Be With Me Then, Lewis made Crista sit up and lean against a cushion. "Have some congee first, Chica. You haven't eaten properly for a few days. Or do you want to eat something else? I can ask Sara to make it for you." Crista had no appetite for the food in front of her, but still, she slowly ate as Lewis fed her until the congee was finished. "Chica, you need to take good care of yourself. You need to start eating well because your baby needs the nutrition." Lewis wiped her mouth with a tissue. "My baby," Crista murmured. "I still have a baby." "Yes, Chica. You still have your baby. That’s why you have to take good care of yourself so you won’t hurt your child." Lewis looked at her. Perhaps the thought of her child could snap her out of her lethargy and give her a reason to move on. "My baby, what are we going to do? It’s all my fault that you will never see your daddy. It’s all Mommy's fault, "Crist

He Died To Save Her Crista shook her head. "No way! I want William. He is the father of my child, and he has a right to know about it." Why should she be with Lewis? It was obvious that she resented him. 'What does he mean? And why did he say that he can be with me now that William is not around anymore? William told me that he will be there for me, and that I should wait for him!' Crista remembered it so clearly that it was simply impossible for her to forget his promise to her. "It is true that he has a right to know about your child, but it is too late for that now," Lewis said, looking at her, but in his heart, he was afraid that she might become hysterical and fall unconscious. "What do you mean by too late? What is that supposed to mean, Lewis? What happened to William? I want to see him... No, I need to see him right now!" After saying that, Crista rushed to the middle of the road, and stopped a car th

Let Me Love You In the end, Lewis chose to take Crista away. He went back to the ward, and looked at her. The doctor who followed him in gave her an injection. "Mr. Lui, if you still insist on taking Miss Jin away, then I'll have to finish the paperwork for you so that you will be able to go through the discharge formalities,” the doctor said to Lewis. Money had the power to do anything, so Lewis bribed the doctor to give some tranquilizer for Crista, so that he could take her away from there while she was still asleep. Gian soon arrived at the hospital. "Mr. Lui, everything is done." Lewis nodded and handed him a prescription. "Go through the discharge formalities for Crista first, and once you're done with that, you can go to the pharmacy and get her medicines. I will be taking her downstairs now." After Gia left the ward, Lewis changed Crista's clothes, put his coat on her, picked her up in his arms, and left the h

Escape In The Middle Of The Night If she had shielded William from the bullet, he would have been fine. Crista had done that three years ago, and she survived, so there was a high chance she would be all right again. It was a gamble, yes, but she was willing to take that risk. He should not have pushed her away. She did not need his protection! She now understood William's obsession with keeping her safe. But it was way too late, and she was tethering on the brink of losing her mind. Lewis looked at her, his brows furrowed in jealousy. "You will sacrifice your life for him? If I was the one on the receiving end of that bullet, would you do the same for me?" Crista kept mum, curling up into a ball, her mind tormented. She did not know if she would feel the same for Lewis. All she cared about was how she did not want to see William harmed. Maybe she would save Lewis, or maybe not. The thing was, she had not cont

Want To See Him Lewis held her in his arms as he still could not let her go- Crista had lost a lot of blood and had no strength left in her to struggle. She could only watch as Martin and his men helped William up. "Let go of me, Lewis! I want to be with him. I want to be with him!" Crista was scared. No one could tell what would happen to William as he had gotten shot in his chest. However, she hoped that he would be fine, and wanted to be by his side. William tried his best to stand up and said, "Chica, wait for me!" No matter how strong he was, he still could not help but faint. Martin shouted his name a few times before he looked at Crista and carried William out of there. He didn't take Crista with him because he could not afford to waste time now. If they continued to deal with Lewis, then William was going to die. Holding Crista in his arms, Lewis walked step by step towards Anpu, who was lying

It's Either Your Life Or Crista's When he heard Lewis mention Crista, William's expression darkened. "You kidnapped Chica, didn't you? What did you do to her?" "What I did to her? What do you think I did to her? I can do the same things that you did to her, right? Don't forget that I am a man, too, just like you!" Lewis said with a smug smile. 'What do I want to do to Crista?' Of course, Lewis wanted her, but she did not want him. She would not even let him touch her. She had struggled and resisted him for a long time now. But for William, she became pregnant. She was doing everything for William, but not for Lewis. She didn't care how deep his love was. She would rather hurt him than compromise. "As long as you promise to let Chica go, I'll do whatever you ask me to do," William said. He had made up his mind to do anything and to give up anything for the sake of her safety. "Are you sure that you are willing to do an

What On Earth Did He Want To Do With Her Lewis bent over and planted a kiss on Crista's lips. He had never kissed her long enough or often enough to his liking. It must be his lucky day! He cupped his hand behind her head, holding it steady as he explored her mouth deeper. Crista writhed to get away, very much on the defensive. The more she floundered wildly, the more the ropes scraped away under her skin. There was no chance to avoid his kiss! Desperately, Crista bit down on his lips until her mouth filled with the metallic tang of blood. She bit and kicked, trying to shake off the strong hand that held her fast, but Lewis persisted, tasting her until she almost suffocated beneath him. "Do you want William to know we kissed?" Lewis smirked as he wiped the blood off his lip. He lifted a hand and signaled to Anpu’s men to leave them alone. "What on earth do you want to do with me?” Crista heaved and panted, the struggl
