Tina nodded, then forced a bitter smile.

"Eudora, did you work with him to deceive me?"

Eudora shook her head, "Tina, don't get me wrong. Back then, when I had first seen the report, I was worried that you couldn't accept it so I had a discussion with him. I didn't expect him to choose to bear the weight of this issue for you. I..."

"It's fine!" Tina shook her head. "Eudora, I won't blame you! It's my own misfortune, and no one is to blame for this."

Eudora could sense that she was completely dejected, and had no will to live anymore.

"Tina, don't be like this. You've seen that Christopher doesn't care about all those things at all. All you have to do is live your life with him, and nothing else matters!"

"Eudora, you don't understand."

Tina smiled wryly, "It's exactly because he's too nice to me. That's why I feel even worse. He's such a proud person, but he had to be belittled by Anthony, his own eldest brother. He never had to suffer all that, but now he's taken it all upon himself to do so! Eudora, I feel absolutely terrible, I'm not worthy of him!"

Eudora's heart broke when she saw Tina being so sorrowful.

She reached out to hug Tina

In a low voice, she comforted her, "You should be more optimistic. If you really like children that much, I believe that Christopher is willing to adopt children with you too..."

Tina shook her head, "There's no need for that, Eudora. I've already thought this through."

Eudora heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! No matter what you're thinking, Christopher is really a great person. You shouldn't split hairs over this yourself."

Tina nodded and looked straight at Eudora, "Eudora, how did you and Christopher meet?"

Eudora was taken aback, "That was so many years ago, no? Why have you mentioned this?"

"I'm just curious! What exactly did Christopher look like in the past?"

Eudora assumed that she only wanted to know more about Christopher, so she smiled and recounted her memories.

"Speaking about that, I don't actually recall anything too clearly anymore. It was probably a chance meeting? Later on only did I realize that I had entered his company, and he's been very considerate of me ever since! That's about it."

There were a lot of things that Eudora didn't want to tell her.

However, Tina wanted to get to the bottom of things, "Eudora, wasn't that too simplified? Are you worried that I'll get angry? I won't! I know that Christopher used to like you!"

Eudora's back stiffened, "What are you talking about?"

"Eudora, don't be shy about this! The day that I met you, I saw Christopher throw the engagement ring into the trash with my own eyes. It was me who had picked it up even! Eudora, the person whom he originally liked was you!"

Eudora couldn't bear to continue listening to her, "I'm not going to talk to you about this nonsense anymore. It's time that I need to get back to prepare dinner!"

Tina quickly stepped forward and stretched out her arms, stopping Eudora in her tracks.

"Eudora, you already know what I want to say! Amos is already gone, and no matter how much you mourn for him, he'll never come back. You're even bringing up two children. Things are so difficult, so how will you carry on through this alone? Well, I've been thinking about this for so many days."

"Since the moment I saw the report, I had already thought of this idea. I did think of giving up on it at some point, but after that I realized that it had been wishful thinking. I shouldn't hold Christopher back anymore. Hence, Eudora, I'm backing away. Please be with Christopher, okay?"

Although Eudora had already vaguely anticipated Tina's thoughts, to hear it with her own ears was still shocking.

"Are you crazy? This isn't something that you can just call quits whenever you like! Besides, Christopher and I are just friends now. There's no way we could have any other relationship!" "It's possible, Eudora. He used to love you so much, so he would definitely still accept you! As for you, can't you just think of it as replaceing a partner for the sake of your two children? I know that you think of him as a true friend. With him by your side, surely you can take care of him well! As time passes by, so will your relationship grow."

"Eudora, you can give him a child, but I can't!"

At the end of the day, it was still about having children!

Eudora shook her head firmly, "I can't do that either! I can tell you this clearly right now, I really can't! Can you stop being so delusional? My heart can only fit one person, and that's Amos. I could never, nor will I ever, marry someone else!"

Tina wanted to continue speaking, but Eudora had already grabbed her hand.

"Tina, can you please get yourself together? Back then, when Christopher fell ill, you could figure out a way for him to relax. Why is it that you can't do so now that it's your own turn?"

Tina smiled wryly and replied, "Because there's no hope for me anymore!"

"No! Pull yourself together; medical science is so developed now, so it's not completely hopeless!"

"So what? Even if it can be cured, how long will it take? Christopher needs a child now, as he has to be the heir of the Gellert family. I can't even bear him a child, so I can't just destroy his chances of inheriting his family just for my own sake! If you got together with him, Sugar Bun would become his son, and Christopher could inherit the family!"

"You're too naive!" Eudora was at a loss for words. "Let's not talk about how it's illegal first. Would Anthony even agree to this in the first place?"

"It doesn't matter whether he will agree or not, as the will didn't say that he couldn't do so anyways!"

"Enough!" Eudora finally exploded in rage.

"Tina, I'm really going to be angry! You can't be like this, alright? Knock some sense into yourself! I'm going home first!"

Eudora sighed and turned to leave.

Right now, Tina's judgment had been clouded by her despair and dejection. She needed to calm down, so it was useless to argue with her.

Even so, Eudora did not actually leave. She just walked a little further away and stood behind a tree, looking at her.

Until Tina looked as though she had come to a realisation, then decided to head home, did Eudora breathe a sigh of relief.

Hopefully she would dispel her brain of that horrible idea!

At night, Tina did not say anything else. She behaved normally when talking with Eudora and the others.

After dinner, she took Christopher outside to look at the moon. Eudora thought that she had already thought it through, so she did not ponder it anymore.

Before going to sleep, Eudora took another look at the news of the Valiant East Group's internal affairs.

The news about Sebastian's underling burglarising her house had already spread throughout the entire company! Sebastian was probably feeling terribly frustrated now. Eudora lips curled up into a satisfied grin, then she shut her eyes to sleep.

She slept soundly all night till dawn, and was woken up the next day by loud yells.

When she opened her eyes, she heard Christopher's voice shouting from the outside, "Eudora, have you seen Tina?"

Eudora paused, then got up immediately to change.

"I haven't seen her! What's the matter? Did she go out for a walk?"

Christopher shook his head and replied, "I've already searched everywhere outside, but I haven't seen her!"

Eudora frowned, "I'll go out with you to look for her." The moment she finished speaking, she saw a letter lying on the floor under the door.
