All Chapters of Bright Future With Him: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Tally didn't know how she got out of Markus' office. But he didn't ask any further questions after that. Still, the phrase "three days" rang in her ears like a song she couldn't get out of her head. Tally was unsure if she should tell on Kathryn. Or should she claim she was the one in Chris' room that night?Tally couldn't do it. If she said it was her, Chris would tear her whole family apart. She and her dad would end up homeless. What could she do? What was she supposed to do? Tally had always been smart and calm, but now she was lost. She hastily called Kathryn, but the call ended after just one ring.Tally's grip on the phone tightened. Realizing that Kathryn was probably being interrogated by Chris right now, she took a deep breath. It felt like both of them were backed into a corner.So she picked up the phone again and dialed a different number. This time, the listener picked up very quickly, and before he could say anything, Tally spoke first."Dad, I want to come

Upon hearing Jessica's determination, Kathryn felt for her. She took a deep breath and said, "She really … used a knife …" She couldn't continue after that because she couldn't breathe. This was the Jessica who'd cared for them all these years! How could Wendy be so cruel?But then she remembered how Wendy had dumped her in her grandmother's backyard.Combined with how Wendy had treated Jessica over the years, Kathryn suddenly felt that Wendy could be that cruel."Yep, she did!" Jessica said with a determination and hatred Kathryn hadn't seen before.Kathryn's heart sank even further, but her hatred for Wendy only grew.After thinking for a while, Jessica said, "You don't have to come to the hospital from now on.""Jessica …""Maxwell's coming to Harborlean," Jessica said. Maxwell had been raised by Wendy, so he was also a person who demanded everything, especially money.He had taken plenty of it from the two of them over the years, so Jessica wanted to use this chance to

Right now, Kathryn could tell Maxwell was hopping mad without even looking at him. She felt so relieved when she remembered that Jessica wasn't giving him a single cent too. She'd always gotten so worked up watching Jessica compromise.Now, it was all going to be over at last. At that moment, Kathryn seemed to remember something and hastily called Tally. She had her own things to worry about.Tally picked up instantly and said, "Don't tell me you had another situation." She sounded dead on the inside, so Kathryn asked, "What happened?""What the heck is going on with you and Mr. Albert? Why is Markus asking me whether I'm pregnant?""What did you say?""I said no, then I said yes!" Tally said in a pained way. Tally felt like she'd been stressed enough to get heartburn today. She didn't even know if something was wrong with her heart now. All she knew was that being alive was hard."So, are you pregnant or not?""Markus already suspects that the woman from Northvale is eith

"Careful, Madam. That soup's fresh off the stove." Cara hastily poured some cold water for Kathryn, who was almost in tears.Chris sighed when he saw her distracted attitude. He took the glass of water and gave it to Kathryn. "What was it that got you so distracted?"His tone was a bit softer when he saw Kathryn's teary eyes. He hated it when girls cried because it didn't make sense to him. But Kathryn's teary look didn't seem so bad, somehow.Kathryn quickly gulped down some water, the coolness soothing her a little. In the meantime, Cara had gotten some ice. "Put this in your mouth, Madam."Chris took the ice bucket, picked up an ice cube, and passed it to Kathryn. "Open your mouth."When Kathryn did, the burning sensation in her mouth got some relief once she had the ice cube inside. The soup had really burned her half to death."It hurts," she said to Chris pitifully."So you do know it hurts? Are you going to pay attention while eating from now on?" Chris said seriously. He

Just like that, Kathryn drifted off and fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was because Chris' alarm was ringing.She opened her eyes while half awake. But when she saw Chris in front of her, her eyes snapped open. She couldn't breathe for a while.She felt utterly hopeless. She wondered why she was in Chris' bed again. She thought she might die this time."Mr. Albert …" Kathryn buried her face in her blanket. She didn't dare look at Chris' face at all. As she burrowed into her blanket, she realized her leg was resting on Chris' leg.Worst of all, Chris' palm was right on her slightly swollen belly. That warmth felt like an electric shock to her. She was worried that Chris might squeeze her belly.She heard Chris' cold voice say, "Are you getting up or not?" "I'm up. I'm up!" She hastily got off Chris. Half of Kathryn's body had been on top of him. When she scrambled to get out of bed, her pajamas lifted as she moved. Chris noticed her stomach was a little bigger. He
