The girl was still beautiful even though she was weeping, and her face had turned red from crying.
His heart suddenly softened
and Christopher loosened his grip.
The girl, who was now free, quickly scrambled away from him and hid under the quilt.
Christopher could not help but laugh when he saw that the girl, who was still lively just now, was now frightened.
"Are you're scared now? Weren't you so determined earlier in the evening?"
The girl bit her lips and she remained quiet.
Christopher frowned again. He said, "Well, we haven't gotten our marriage certificate anyway. This is just a show. You can leave any time you want when your father forgives you in the future, okay?"
The girl finally nodded and she seemed to be a little less angry.
She was really adorable when she smiled, just like how Eudora used to be.
Christopher's face darkened when he thought of Eudora all of a sudden. After a long pause, he asked, "What's your name?"
"Tina Holt."
Christopher nodded and he introduced himself, "My name is Christopher Gellert." "I know! I heard someone calling for you in the afternoon," she said. Her eyes were curved and she was very straightforward. At that moment, Christopher suddenly felt as though he was not alone anymore.
"Okay!" Christopher nodded and he continued, "Let's go to bed then!"
After that, he lay down on one side of the bed.
Tina looked at him warily. She only relaxed and lay down on the other side when she was certain that he was fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Juju was finally discharged from the hospital after being hospitalized for a week. Eudora took Juju back to the house that she had bought that day.
Amos followed her along the way and his face was full of resentment.
Eudora pretended to not notice. After all, she had made up her mind that she would not forgive him so easily this time.
Amos left dejectedly when he noticed that she was not planning to change her mind.
Eudora then settled Juju in bed. She had just laid down on the bed when her phone suddenly beeped.
It was a short message from Amos. "I'm on my way now. I'll be home in 20 minutes."
"Okay!" Eudora typed quickly and put her mobile phone at the bedside.
Juju had always liked listening to Eudora telling stories to her. Hence, Eudora went over to the shelf and took out a storybook. She began reading to Juju slowly when her mobile phone suddenly rang again halfway through.
The crisp ringtone of her phone sounded particularly loud in the evening. Juju, who was about to fall asleep, was awakened by the sound.
Eudora frowned and she took her phone to have a look. "I'll be home in ten minutes.1' It was a message from Amos.
Eudora was speechless.
This guy!
After that, Eudora silenced her phone and continued to recite the story to Juju.
Juju was finally fast asleep after Eudora finished the story. She then turned off the lights and lay down on the bed again.
Her mobile phone lit up once again. She took it over to have a look and she realized that there were several messages.
"I'm home. I'm a little hungry, so I'm going to cook some pasta."
"I'm full. I followed the instructions you gave when you cooked for me back then. It's tasty. Next time, I'll make some food for you and Juju."
"I've taken a shower and I'm ready to go to bed now. You and Juju should go to bed early too. Good night."
Eudora was at a loss for words.
She could not help but press the reply button. She started typing,
"Are you sick?"
However, she deleted the message after putting some thought into it. What if she woke him up and he started reporting his every movement to her again?
