All Chapters of Bright Future With Him: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

When Mia didn't respond, Grace continued frustratedly, "I think Chris isn't actually mad at Amelia. Maybe he's punishing her to get back at you!"After all, it was the trip undertaken by her and Amelia that spelled disaster for Miller Group. When Mia left Harborlean, Grace already thought her relationship with Chris was over.Why was she even trying to get close to Chris when he had gotten married? A woman who did that over and over couldn't possibly be a nice person.Mia's face paled when she heard that. "I-I'm so sorry!" Was Chris really using Amelia to get back at her? But if that was true, then she and Chris were … Mia refused to believe it. She found it impossible. Mia couldn't believe that it was over for them. They used to be so close. His marriage to Kathryn must have been a sham!Mia believed that with all her heart, just like how she believed everything Chris did was only meant to anger her. It was revenge for her leaving him just like that all those years ago."What

Kathryn pursed her lips together, then replied politely, "It's okay, Mrs. Miller. It's all in the past now.""You're so forgiving, Mrs. Albert. I'm glad to hear it's all in the past."Kathryn didn't reply."You know, I was so disappointed by Amelia's actions. I've given her a stern lecture, and I'll make sure Mia faces punishment for what she said to you.""Aunt Grace!" Kathryn heard Mia cry out on the other end. At the same time, Grace turned around to glare at Mia threateningly. That finally shut Mia up."Thank you so much, Mrs. Miller. Do tell Ms. Davis that enough is enough. After all, Chris is a married man now, not some guy she can throw herself onto.""You're right, Mrs. Albert. I'll be sure to educate her properly," Grace said politely. She kept reassuring Kathryn. They ended up talking for over ten minutes before she finally hung up.Kathryn had been nervous the entire time. She had no idea how she was supposed to handle this. But then again, things weren't going to end

Grace didn't protest when Vincent said Amelia would marry that mentally disabled man. It was obvious to Amelia that they'd reached an agreement before her return from Southvale.In the current climate, the Millers refrained from further provoking or bothering Chris. Hence, they were left to find their own solution to the mess they were in.And the best way was to marry Amelia off. "I'm your daughter, Mom! How could you?" Amelia looked at Grace in anguish. She couldn't believe her mother would marry her off to a mentally disabled man.Grace was already in a bad mood. She scoffed upon hearing Amelia's complaints. "Exactly. You're my daughter. How can you be so stupid?"She'd been used as a pawn without even knowing it. What good would crying do her now?"But Mia …""Is no longer part of our family!" Grace interrupted with a stern reminder that Mia wasn't her cousin anymore. This left Amelia in disbelief."What do you mean, Mom?" What did she mean, Mia was no longer part of their

Kathryn was perplexed when she saw Chris come out of the shower. When Chris noticed Kathryn staring at him from the couch, he walked over. With every step he took, the tension in the air grew more suffocating. Finally, Kathryn snapped out of her reverie. "M-Mr. Albert!" she called out. Right now, Chris was clad only in a white bath towel. They were standing so closely together. Kathryn could see his defined abs. She blushed uncontrollably.She was really worried the bath towel would drop. But then Chris tossed the towel in his hand into Kathryn's before saying, "Dry my hair!"After that, he sat on the single couch, opened his email inbox, and started doing urgent paperwork. He looked so busy. Kathryn wasn't sure if she should be approaching him.Kathryn felt a sense of absurdity wash over her. How could she harbor such impure thoughts about her seemingly innocent boss?When water droplets from Chris' hair dripped onto his phone's screen, he raised an eyebrow at Kathryn. "Why

When she noticed Chris' bad mood, she quickly told him what Cara told her out of fear that he'd blame Cara. But when Chris was done listening, he simply stuck out a hand. "Let's go," he said."Huh?" Kathryn didn't understand, so Chris grabbed her cold hand and walked to the door while she protested. "Wait! I haven't even brushed my teeth." Kathryn's head hurt just watching Chris try to drag them both downstairs. Just how bad was his fight with Mia?She hadn't realized that maybe … Chris wasn't having a fight. Maybe he was just very serious about some things she wasn't aware of.When Chris and Kathryn came downstairs holding hands, Mia was sitting on the couch wearing a thin Christmas sweater and holding a hot cup of coffee.Kathryn instinctively looked at Chris, but there was no emotion on his face except coldness. It was like Mia being here made him really unhappy.When Mia saw them coming down together, her gaze landed on their hands. She immediately felt like she couldn't b
