Annabelle still didn’t respond. She closed her eyes. No one could tell her thoughts.

Christopher walked toward the window and turned his back to the bed. He looked out of the window.

Annabelle opened her eyes and looked at Christopher. Then, after a while, she suddenly shouted,“Chris.”

When Christopher heard her voice, he tilted his head and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Annabelle smiled and said, “If I regret it now, will it be too late?”

“What do you regret?” Christopher asked lightly.

It was a question, but he did not look at her inquisitively. Instead, his gray eyes seemed to have seenthrough

her.

Annabelle curled her lips into a smile and laughed at herself. She looked into his eyes and replied, “Iregret running away from the wedding. If we got married, Christopher, you wouldn’t have the chance tomarry Yuliana, and I’ll be your wife. I won’t be in this embarrassing situation today too.”

Christopher stared at her for a moment. His expression was unreadable. Finally, he said, “Annabelle,when can you stop being so willful? Not everything is about you.”

He paused and added, “Nor is it about me.”

His voice was a little cold, and Annabelle couldn’t help but grab the quilt tightly.

“Willful?”

She covered her eyes and smiled. Then she said bitterly, “No matter what I did in the past, you wouldn’tsay I was willful. Do you plan to stop caring for me now that you have a wife?”

“If I don’t care about you, do you think you’ll have the chance to lie here and tell me this?” Christophersaid. He walked to the chair by the bed and sat down, his long legs spread. Then, he leaned forwardand gave Annabelle a serious look. “Annabelle, I will still help you without hesitation if you are introuble. But don’t joke about your body. I’m not always there to save you.”

Annabelle responded, “You could, previously.”

If she had any trouble in the past, Christopher would come to her and deal with it as soon as possible.

Christopher remained silent for two seconds before he replied, “As you said, it was in the past. It’sdifferent now. I have a wife and a child. I have to be responsible for them. Annabelle, you’re not younganymore. Don’t be as childish as before. Don’t make a fool of yourself.”

Annabelle’s face darkened after she heard this. She sneered, “What? Do you think I’m troublesome?Do you think I’m dragging you down? You can leave me alone. It’s okay if I die. After all, I died becauseI had an allergy after eating the wrong food. It has nothing to do with you.”

Christopher didn’t answer and shrugged. They looked at each other for a few seconds.

He lowered his eyes and leaned back. Then, he took out his phone and looked at it without raising hishead. “You lie down for a while. I’ll drive you home later.”

Meanwhile, at the Solace residence, Zavier and Zaiden also left consecutively after Christopher tookAnnabelle to the hospital.

The house, which was initially merry, suddenly became quiet.

According to the original plan, Yuliana and Christopher would stay in the Solace Residence today andspend the New Year with Zachary and Winnie. Therefore, after Christopher took Annabelle to thehospital, Yuliana didn’t leave.

But she was unsure when Christopher would return or if he would even come home.

“Aunt Yuliana, I won!” When she heard Zofia’s cheers, Yuliana returned to her senses. She found thatZofia had won again.

Shortly after Christopher left, Zofia found chess game and pestered Yuliana to play with her. Yulianadidn’t know how many rounds they had played, but Yuliana could concentrate on the first two roundsand let Zofia

win.

However, she did not pay attention to the game afterward, so Zofia could easily beat her.

Yuliana smiled gently and praised, “Zofia is so smart!”

When she heard Yuliana praise her, Zofia was so happy. She felt a sense of accomplishment, and shejumped back and forth.

Layla saw her daughter behaving like a little madman when she finished her work. “What are youdoing?”

When Zofia saw her mother, she ran toward and hugged Layla’s waist. “Mom, I beat Aunt Yuliana againjust now.”

Layla pinched her face and said, “You’re awesome.”

Zofia was brilliant, and she could sense the perfunctoriness in her mother’s tone. She pouted andsnorted. Then she ran to Yuliana and said, “Aunt Yuliana, let’s continue to play.”

Yuliana called out Layla’s name to greet her. Then she placed the chess pieces and adjusted thechessboard before playing another chess game with Zofia again.

Layla sat down and glanced at Yuliana. She said, “Christopher called me just now. Annabelle is fine.She should be back soon.”

Yuliana nodded lightly. She seemed focused on playing chess with the little girl.

After Christopher left with Annabelle in his arms, she didn’t react much or say anything about it.Instead, she stayed calm. It was as if the man was not her husband.

“Yuliana,” Layla spoke again.

“Yes?” Yuliana answered and glanced at Layla. Then, when she saw Layla hesitating, Yuliana asked,“Layla, is there something you want to talk to me about?”

Layla turned around and remained silent for a bit. Finally, she said, “Yuliana, you’re smart, so I’ll bestraightforward. Christopher didn’t do the right thing today, but he and Annabelle are not what youthink.’

Yuliana’s hand, which was still holding the chess piece, froze. When she heard Zofia’s urging, shegathered her thoughts and moved the chess piece forward.

She looked at Layla. “Layla, can you tell me what happened between Christopher and Annabelle?”

Layla pursed her lips and met Yuliana’s eyes. She said, “Annabelle’s biological father died to saveChristopher.”

Yuliana was stunned for a long time when she heard this. Zofia had to call her several times before shecame back to her senses.

Layla didn’t continue. She looked at her daughter, who was still focused on playing chess and said, “Goand play with Daddy first. I have something to talk about with your Aunt Yuliana.”

When she heard this, Zofia was unhappy. “No, I just want to play with Aunt Yuliana.”

Yuliana said, “Zofia, play with your father for a while. I’ll come to you after talking to your mother,okay?”

Zofia looked at Yuliana and hesitated for a while. Then she nodded and left with the chessboard in herarms. After Zofia left, Layla continued, “Yuliana, although the Solace family seemed glorious, we havea lot of enemies. Christopher and I were kidnapped when we were little. I was lucky and didn’t let thekidnappers succeed. Christopher was kidnapped twice. Someone once hired outlaws to hurtChristopher. They hoped to take revenge on the Solace family.”

She paused and said coldly, “At that time, Christopher was still in kindergarten. He was only about sixyears. old.”
