All Chapters of Bright Future With Him: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kathryn dawdled as she followed Chris out of the car. Midway through, she texted Tally, asking for help and surprising her friend with the news. Who would've thought the devil incarnate would bring a woman home? To Rexton Manor no less! What was most shocking was that he'd chosen Kathryn. If the women of Harborlean who wanted Chris for themselves found out about this, they would flay her alive!Tally answered with a simple "good luck." Chris had proposed marriage today; it was reasonable for them to live together. What was shocking was that he'd been the one who'd proposed the idea! It was usually women who threw themselves at him, but he was the one to force Kathryn to go home with him.Kathryn spluttered internally at Tally's reply. She was leaving her to die! In truth, she knew Tally wouldn't have the courage to challenge Chris. She anxiously followed him up the stairs, still floundering as they arrived at the front door. "Why can't I just stay at the apartment?" She desperately w

Tally and Kathryn talked about a lot of things that night. Tally was the one who was the most worried about Kathryn and Chris living under the same roof. She only stopped giving advice when Kathryn couldn't handle listening to her anymore. Kathryn had a restless sleep that night. Because she was nervous from being in an unfamiliar environment, she woke up several times throughout the night.At 6 am, she couldn't fall asleep anymore, and she was so hungry that she decided to get up from bed. With soft steps, she walked to the kitchen to reheat the food her sister had made for her. She'd initially wanted to make some pasta, but there was nothing in Rexton Manor but bread, eggs, and milk.When Chris got up from bed, he saw Kathryn eating in the dining room and frowned. When Kathryn noticed Chris, she dropped her spoon on the plate and stood up nervously. "Good morning, Mr. Albert." Chris walked over and glanced at the food on her plate. Seeing that it was all meat, he furrowed his brows

Kathryn froze when she heard his strange tone. She didn't know what she'd done to upset him. Chris didn't say anything else, and after passing the traffic lights, he parked the car on the side of the road. Kathryn rushed out of the car without bothering to say anything.Chris watched her escape as quickly as a rabbit, his face darkening uncontrollably. Was he so scary that she had to flee like that? When Kathryn arrived at the company, she rushed to Markus' office, telling him that Chris had asked her to see him to sign the agreement. Markus told her seriously, "I'm afraid this agreement cannot be written.""Huh? What do you mean by that?" Kathryn didn't understand. This agreement couldn't be written? Weren't agreements only valid if they were written down? Without a written agreement, once a dispute arose, there would be no way to resolve it!Markus pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, saying earnestly, "The agreement between you and Mr. Albert is a very big deal. If it

Even though Tally had given Kathryn tons of advice last night, she didn't sleep a wink. Due to Chris' insistence, both he and Kathryn needed to live together throughout their fake marriage. Kathryn was too honest of a person. Tally feared that she would spill the secret by accident."I'm not sure, but he didn't ask about what happened that night, so it should be fine," Kathryn answered."What if he does?" Tally asked urgently. Kathryn looked at Tally in a panic. Tally sighed. "Did you forget what I told you?""What?""If he asks, you have to end the topic as soon as possible. You can't let him dwell on it for even a second!" If he did, things would be riskier for them.Kathryn nodded resolutely. "Yeah, I got it.""You can't let him think about it for even a second, got it?""Got it!" Kathryn nodded again.Both of them knew how astute Chris was. If Kathryn tried to avoid the topic, he would definitely notice something! Tally was silent out of fear. Before, Kathryn simply had to

However, things were different now. Markus retorted with a hint of mockery in his tone, "I should be the one asking you that question."Chris was speechless at his response. Markus continued, "She's your wife, you know!" He wouldn't dare micromanage his boss' wife. They had just gotten married this morning, and yet Kathryn was nowhere to be found.Chris lit a cigarette, took a breath, and said coldly, "She left to take some documents to Enfield Corporation."Hearing his words, Markus' heart stopped. "What documents?"Mr. Weinstein from Enfield Corporation would always approach them, and he was notoriously known as a pervert. Pippa knew that, so she would avoid him every time. Besides, Kathryn didn't know anything about that place. Things would be bad if she bumped into him. Chris had a dark expression on his face. "You should know the answer to that question. Who's in charge of handling things with Enfield Corporation?"Markus froze. Pippa had been really careless. Markus hurriedl
