All Chapters of Bright Future With Him: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Lewis leaned back in his seat. He no longer appeared serious and strict anymore. He served himself a bit of the beef stew and turned to Chris, asking, "Have you tried her cooking before?"Chris didn't speak a word.Lewis continued, "She's so careless and always fails at everything. I thought you didn't understand her well enough.""Mr. Huber!" Kathryn's voice choked up. She suddenly felt like a burden. Lewis had labeled her careless, making her believe she was a constant worry to others. Lewis asked Chris to take a seat. Since whatever Kathryn cooked was inedible, he requested that dinner be prepared again. As Lewis was no longer serious, he asked Chris, "Franco disagrees with your marriage, doesn't he?"Lewis might be the only person in Harborlean brave enough to refer Franco in such a manner. Franco was no ordinary person. He was the head of the most elite family in Harborlean.At the mention of his father, Chris' face darkened slightly. Lewis sensed the tangled dynamics wit

Chris shook his head with resignation as he observed Kathryn's reckless actions. Cara had been waiting downstairs after receiving a phone call about their return. As soon as Kathryn stepped out of the car, Cara approached her. "Welcome back, Madam."Kathryn nodded in acknowledgment. Then she quickly made her way out of Chris' sight with Cara's help.Markus drew the divider curtains open. He asked, "Where are we going?"Chris gazed in the direction Kathryn had left. Markus followed his line of sight and smiled. "She's not someone who could stand being scared like this."Everyone in the Albert Group knew how timid Kathryn was, but Chris didn't think so. A mocking look crossed his eyes as he said, "I don't think she's timid."Markus looked at Chris in surprise. He finally figured out why Chris declared their marriage. It was because Krista had gone to Rexton Manor yesterday to taunt Kathryn. But they heard Kathryn did not suffer any losses and even made Krista leave the manor dis

According to the information he gathered, she was abandoned by her mother at a young age. Those words couldn't describe the hardships she endured during her growth. However, Chris' expression hardened when he heard her say, "As long as I'm not starving."Kathryn nervously lowered her head when she noticed Chris' silence and darkened face. "Mr. Albert, I assume you've never been starved?" His grip on the disinfectant cotton swab froze. A storm was brewing in his eyes. "Yeah!" he said in a deep voice. His eyes were as cold as ice.She didn't dare to continue after she heard his cold tone. Her instep felt much better after the dressing was changed."You can't take a bath tonight," he said as he tidied up the first aid kit."I want to wash my face!" Kathryn exclaimed.She was annoyed that she couldn't take a bath. Yet, she couldn't handle the pain if her injury came into contact with hot water either."Are you a clean freak?" Chris snorted when he heard her dreary tone.Kathryn sh

Kathryn was timid but not foolish! She had a strong sense of right and wrong. Wendy had abandoned her back then, so Kathryn had no reason to keep in touch with her now.Kathryn drifted off to sleep after the voices outside died down.She developed a high fever in the middle of the night. It was most likely because of her foot injury. She had been exposed to the cold wind outside during the day and had also been running around the snowy woods. The high fever left her feeling parched. Kathryn tried to prop herself up to find some water, but her feet gave out as soon as they touched the ground, and she collapsed onto the floor.Chris intentionally left his door open when he went to bed that night. He was jolted awake by the loud bang because he was a light sleeper. His dark eyes shone brightly in the darkness. He got up, turned on the bedside table, and went straight to Kathryn's room to check on her.Chris stood in the hallway, opened the door, and saw Kathryn struggling to get u

Kathryn's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She hadn't realized what Chris meant. Her already chaotic world had become even more bewildering.Chris looked at her dazed expression and couldn't help but pinch her cheek. "Are you hungry?"Kathryn stared at him blankly and subconsciously nodded.Chris' eyes twinkled with delight. He leaned closer to her again, and his warm breath brushed against her already cold cheeks. He gently wiped away the bloodstains on her lips and asked, "What would you like to eat?""S-Spaghetti!" Kathryn stammered. Chris had never been so gentle to her before. She suspected that something unusual was going on.He nodded. "Alright. Would you like to get up on your own? Or do you want me to carry you?"His affectionate words struck Kathryn's heart like a bolt from the blue in the early morning. She had long bouts of inner turmoil. "I can get up by myself!""Are you sure? Your foot injury became inflamed last night," Chirs reminded softly.Kathry
