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 finding 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."
